tbh the new models have all been announced, the only delay is in the stock getting to suppliers. Most of them are a few weeks / to a month. Not that long to wait

yes there are allways better tellys on the horizon. but no point buying a TV one more before it becomes obsolete.
Hey, first post here. I'd love a LCD to replace my CRT but the specs leave me a bit clueless.
I've saved up about £400 and I was considering getting the
Aldi £349.99 offer. However, I know I'd want something bigger right after buying this and I'm all for a bit of deferred gratification.
I'd love the 40" or 46" Samsung M86. But after reading the above thread, I realise that, by the time I save up enough, the F86 may be in my price range. I see it is now available in 46" for £1492 at 1staudiovisual whilst the M86 is available for £1,186.
Do any of you know how quickly these tend to drop in price after release. I see that the LE46N73 came out 11 months ago at £2000 and is now available for £1000. Would it be reasonable to assume that the LE46F86 will be available in the next 6-8 months for around the £850-£900 mark???
Also, is the only difference in the M86 and F86 the 100hz and what exactly does this mean? My main criteria if spending my money on a 46" screen is that the technology is as future proof as possible - I'd want to keep the TV for close to 5 years. Therefore, I wouldn't want to buy an M86 if 100hz is going to be some new standard that would mean me having to upgrade in the near future.
