Michael, Sears regular price is around $520, the sale price on the set through out this year has been $499 & if you bought the set on a weekend where they had 10% off of everything the set would be $450 Don't get me wrong I think the set is more than worth $499 but I just wanted to point out...
I would go to a store & check it out for yourself or call Samsung 1-800-samsung. Also I would fight over that price because you should be able to get it for $449 or under. Maybe someone who has the set will answer your post.
