So I'm getting a new TV. Have a 37" Vizo lcd right now but ready to go bigger. I am going to best buy tomorrow to pick up a new one and can't figure out the difference between these 2 TVs

This one is usually 1,099 on sale for 849

www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+46%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9783649.p?id=1218173774957&skuId=9783649

This one is at regular price of $797

www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+46%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/1414158.p?id=1218256033983&skuId=1414158

Both are 46" both are samsung both are lcd and both are 120hz. I do know that the first one is the newest model and the other one is the model before it.... but what is the difference?

Not really sure that price difference is worth it. I have never needed a usb on my tv.

The advantage to the USB port is it would let you easily update the firmware on the TV. You also would be able to (potentially at least) display pictures in a slide-show.

that sucks.

Well in that case, the two tv's you posted aren't very different except the more expensive one has online features like game mode, connectshare, etc. and 2 USB ports. Essentially from a TV performance perspective, they're pretty much the same except for a few minor features that aren't extremely important. If you're willing to shell out a few more bucks on the more expensive one, go for it. If not you're not really getting ripped off either.

There doesn't appear to be any major differences between the two.
