 Nice TV July 13, 2008

Nice TV, 100% better than my 35" analog, but not as good as my 50" and 42" Panasonic Plasma TV's, bought this TV mainly to hook up to PS3
Gorgeous TV & Picture July 9, 2008

I ordered this TV late night July 1. I got it around 11:00 this morning through CEVA. The delivery service doesn't affect my opinion of the TV, but CEVA was excellent.
I immediately hooked up my PS3 and HDMI cable (Cables to go 3 meter 10.2gbps, bought from amazon) and after fixing the sound and video output settings (I had it hooked up via DVI and RCA cabling, and my old TV only accepted up to 1080i) it worked beautifully. Even without being hooked up to my surround sound system, the sound quality is good. It won't blow you away, but given the form factor of the TV it's still better than I had expected and good enough that I'm not desperate to hook up better speakers.
I popped in Blade Runner on Blu Ray and noticed the picture was a bit fuzzy. I then checked and found that the PS3 was outputting 1080i as that was the best my old TV could display. A quick change to 1080p and away I went and was absolutely amazed by the picture. I didn't see any judder, and the colors were magnificent. Black levels seem good, but I have it in a room with windows so I can't make it completely dark to really get a good feel for it yet. The glossy screen looks nice when it's off, but is a little noticeable when you've got a direct light source on it.
I bought mine as a refurb from Warehouse Deals by Amazon, which ran me less than 1100. It came in the original box, has no dead pixels, and works perfectly. There was some tape adhesive on the bottom over maybe two square inches, but that will come off easily enough once I find where I put the cleaner. This was my first time buying a refurb product from anyone apart from the manufacturer, and it's been great. Very worth saving $400.
Amazing TV. I'd say it's definitely worth the $1500 Amazon has it for, but paying less is always nice too.
 Do not buy from Amazon June 26, 2008

I'm not sure how the quality is on this TV, but if you would like your TV in a resonable amount of time I would not buy it from Amazon. I ordered my TV on June 14th,it is now June 26th and I have still have not received it. I did track my item on CEVA and it has been sitting in a warehouse an hour from my house since June 21st. I would highly reccommend buying from a different company.
 I am embarrassed at how much research I did only to have the tv fail in 2 months June 8, 2008

Family and friends told me I spent more time reviewing what HDTV LCD to buy than purchasing a car or a house. Ha, I thought --- I am getting a Samsung 4071 where 90+% of the reviewers are happy. I never thought I'd be one of the 10% to have the TV TOTALLY FAIL. No picture, ghosts, then grey screen.
I had been very happy despite the fact price went down more, newer models out - I had no complaints.
My big concern --- the threads and reviews I've read about Samsung's service, warranty and people having to wait 30 days or more to get a power or control panel. Time will tell and I'll update the review re that.
I got rid of a perfectly good, 10 year old 32" Sony only to upgrade to something that fails in 2 months. Pretty scary.
UPDATE: It is SUN 6/21 and I still don't have my tv... The Samsung outsourced repairman is local and has replaced several things - still not working. Has ordered supposedly the last two possible parts/display boards it can be and should be out here Monday. He says failure rate is 1-2% and that is considered good and that they fix them. He still endorses the product over other brands. While I recognize this is who is buttering his bread, Samsung service center and this repairman have been relatively responsive in phone calls, calling back, etc. To me this is a big portion of customer service. Will update if it ever gets working.
Great LCD TV May 27, 2008
My first HD TV. Very happy, the TV arrived early and was unpacked and tested in my house. The set hooked up easy using HDMI cables to my DVD and Dishnet SAT. Set up was easy and the picture is great. HD programs are the way to go, sooner that all TV is made in HD the better, find that we watch mainly HD programs. Have not found the need to change settings much, the factory ones seem fine. Sound is good but a full surround sytem would be a good upgrade.
