Anyone know what the real differences are between the series?

Series 7 is listed as 1920 x 1080p whereas Series 6 is 1920 x 1080.

Does the series 6 do 1080p??

I'm trying to figure out which one of those I should go for and just saw the series 7 come out this week onthe samsung site.

I'm looking at the specs/manual for the 46inch and it appears to have Freeview fitted, though it doesn't mention the 'Freeview' name anywhere.. Odd.

THe DNLA feature looks cool.. connect the tv to your internal network, run the server on your PC and listen to music and view pictures via your internal LAN INCLUDING movie files!

Mmm now to find some spare cash to go buy one :)

Yeah I don't know how good that dnla feature would be, and for me i don't care since it will be hooked to a dedicated pvr...

The samsung site doesn't seen to ever post that it's the D model or not which is the freeview certified one (see if you can find it for the la46a650 - there's no D model listed on the samsung site, but all the stores are now showing a D model as well.
