Difference between these 2 TVs?

lawrenma2 · 02-10-2009, 16:04

I'm looking at buying a second TV (37" LCD) for my spare room purely to play the Playstation on and might let the wife play her Wii in there if the ironing is all done.

Can anyone please help me determine the main difference between both of these TVs?

Samsung LE37B551A

Samsung Series 5 (LE37B550)

Just looking for a budget set around £600 max, and not really a Samsung fan but think their stuff is ok these days.

Thanks in advance.

Only difference I can find is that Samsung don't offer the 551 in their product comparison page:

Sort of suggesting it's not a current model. I was trying to find what they replaced it with, but the only current 37" are the 550 and 651.

It may be a special model number just for Currys?, they tend to order sets with their own numbers on so people can't do price comparisons as the number doesn't really exist.

Pixmania also sell the LE37B551A which they claim is their exclusive version of the 550.

Pixmania shipped me a gadget with a european plug and a UK adapter that didn't fit once. Now that's exlcusive!

Piximania is part of the same company as Currys
