 Fabulous experience !! November 11, 2008
Have had the TV for a month now. Experience has been great so far. Delivery was timely and setup was done promptly. So far the performance of the TV has been immensely satisfying specially HD.
The only problem I'm having is - some of the DVDs I'm playing using my up converting Sony DVD player are producing bands on the top and bottom, even with 16:9 setup. Setting the p-size of the TV to 'wide-fit' fills the screen, but picture's out of proportion.
 Great TV, Great Price November 11, 2008

I am not a TV expert. I did my homework, and this came out to be the best TV in the range I was looking at ($1000-$1200). I originally intended to buy a bigger TV, but the quality of the Samsung product swayed me. My only complaints are that it attracts dust, it is slow to turn on (or give you any sign that it is in the process of turning on), and there is only a VGA connection for your computer, not a true DVI input. But the picture is great, sound is fine but it is only internal speakers.
very good TV November 11, 2008
This TV is by far more bang for your buck. In comparison to it's sony 40-inch counterpart this is the better of the two. Be aware though that you will have to spend like 30 min. calibrating your tv like all 1080p tv's this specific link will tell give you 3 calibration options that are equivalent to professional services but is free. Amazon is really stepping it up, no taxes and free white glove shipping is ridiculous. This same TV at other stores go for $1,300 without tax included and a 1 year service plan. I paid $180 for the 5 year service plan so in the long run I saved myself like 400 bucks through amazon. TV was ordered on Sun. and I received the tv on Friday of the same week. Also the delivery service calls you to set up a delivery time which is really convenient.

WOW!!! Gamers, Buy this TV now!! November 10, 2008
I couldn't be more happier than I am with this TV!
All the research I did in finding this TV was well worth it! I play my XBOX 360 on this and it's show the graphics at its best! 1080p really does make a difference and the 30,000:1 Contrast ratio is off-the-wall amazing! I haven't played with much more of the settings it has but as soon as a plugged everything in I didn't have to do anything more. This thing has a mind of its own! just Plug n Play!
There's a lot of bad reviews about the sound. I must be deaf or ignorant to detailed sound, cause I am pleased with the sound quality on this system! I guess if you really want to get amazing behind-your-ear sound you can get a surround system.
So, if you're still wondering whether to buy this, you better do it before the free shipping is out and the White Glove service! I ordered this on a Wednesday and it got to my house on Saturday! I didn't have a rush delivery at all.
 Only time will tell November 10, 2008
This is my second TV. The TV was great but it lasted six days before it stopped working. Samsung wanted to fix it but after having it for less than a week I wanted a new TV. Amazon was great. Less than a week later I had a brand new TV. I'm crossing my fingers that the first one was just a lemon.
