Samsung LE40A656 vs LE40A686

Does anyone know what the difference is between these models? Or know
of a comparison web site that would tell me?

Samsung's own site has the 656 but not the 686....

Am seriously considering the LE40A656 so if anyone has anything good
or bad to say about it, that would be helpful too.

TIA

Thanks for the references - but I'm still none the wiser, all the
features listed for the 686 are I believe present on the 656 as
well...

The Samsung site does have inf. on the 686 but not in English. See eg

http://www.samsung.com/be/consumer/d...LE40A686M1FXXC


So perhaps the 656 is the UK spec'd and any 686s are grey imports?

Is one exclusive to Dixons (and group) or something? I have the Samsung
LE40M87BDX. There is also a LEM86BDX which is technically identical to the
M87 apart from the absence of a chrome strip on the bottom of the tv. The
M86 was ONLY available through Dixons / Comet.

Have a look he

This site lists all the samsung models and their differences. Also has some
good pics. The main difference with the 686 seems to be a black bezel rather
than the crystal rose design. If you want to see one in the flesh, Comet are
now stocking them.

Hope this helps.

Thanks all. Richer Sounds have both the 656 and 686 but the guy I
spoke to seemed pretty clueless on the differences (except the 686 is
50 quid or so more). Kev what you say fits with the little I know,
i.e. its just cosmetic.

Just to confuse the issue even more, I note Lewises have similar
models with an "M1" suffix which I'm guessing is either something to
do eitgher with PC compatibiity or a stand. Jeez...
