 good product July 26, 2008
-the tv is as is described by others here (thank you for the insights)
-ceva did a good /surprising job delivering earlier.
I had it for 1 month and I got all the price drop difference back.
for Samsung:
1. design the tv to recognize the format/size automatically even more when you have disclaimer in warranty of using wrong picture setting
2. the 'rotating' selector needs to have 'clicks' when rotating; because is imprecise big time... I like the idea, but is just not working as it is.
3. think of having the remote talking with cable company box
reader: remember nothing is perfect
best value, seamless delivery July 26, 2008
Before buying a friend and I did some research on plasma and lcds and ended up picking this Samsung despite other models that may have slightly better specs. The bottom line was I visited a local electronics store and this one looked the best. And it was the most reasonably priced 120Hz flat panel, given other features.
Amazon had the best price, by far. I googled and checked several comp shops.
I was a bit apprehensive after reading the reviews about bad service from the shipping company. However, my experience was very good. I ordered Friday morning (I actually entered the wrong ship to address, called Amazon, and had it fixed with no problem) and was contacted by the shipper the following Wed and arranged for delivery on the following Fri 8am-12pm. The truck driver left a message at 7:30am (I requested to be contacted 1/2 hr before drop off) and arrived at our place at 8:15am. They were courteous and asked whether or not we wanted materials removed and stayed to be sure it could receive channels.
The only issue was I was hooking the tv to my computer via HDMI. Buried in the manual is a comment that you need to set the screen type option to "just scan", rather than 4:3 or 16:9. Otherwise you end up losing some picture around the edges. It seems that this should be an automatically setup process, rather than having the user hunt through the manual. Regardless, I found the fix and it has been working great for the past day.
 Great Picture July 26, 2008
I bought this TV less than a month ago and I absolutely love it! The picture is breath-taking and the AMP is awesome. The thing I don't love about it however is the sound. I've been having audio issues with it. Every once in a while the sound cuts out for a split second. Also, the sound will sometimes go lower and then higher for no apparent reason. I've tried everything thinking maybe it was some other source such as my DVD player or stereo but it happens when I watch broadcast TV also. In addition to that, the tv came up scrambled when the TV was turned on at one point and didn't right itself until it was turned off and then back on. So, at this point, I'm checking to see if I can exchange it as perhaps this is a lemon.
I'm still rating this TV 4 stars as it does have an exceptional picture and although the sound is not the best, since the speakers are pointing backwards, it does have a custom audio option which greatly improves the sound. The white glove delivery was very nice as well!
 Still waiting to see my Samsung TV July 26, 2008
First let me say that I have bought dozens of items from Amazon.com worth thousands of dollars and all of them have arrived in perfect order and have work wonderfully...except this Samsung TV. It is hard for me to rate this TV from one to five stars because I have not had a chance to view it yet, at least not correctly.
Secondly I had researched HDTV's for months before this purchase and was convinced that Samsung HDTV was the way to go. I am not so sure any more.
When it arrived 17 days ago it was set up for me, turned on, and the deliverers started the channel set up for me. The ten seconds that it was turned on was the only time that I got to see this TV work and it looked great. As the channels were being set up, about a 15 minute process, the delivery people left and the trouble began. Once the channels set up was done the picture was terrible. Random blues and reds all over the screen and nothing in the manual helped correct the situation. I tried every correction in the manual for two days without success, gave up and called Samsung for a repair person to come.
Within several days he was there, ordered a part, the main board, returned a few days later and replaced it and left. Once the TV ran through it's channel setup 15 minutes later I had the same problem. It is now 17 days later and I am waiting for part number two, the LCD screen.
I will update this review when it arrives.
17 days so far and waiting to view my new TV.
Awesome Television, Great Service July 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an awesome television at an excellent price. I did alot of research before deciding on this particular LCD and I have no regrets. The 120Hz processor is definately worth the $. Blue-Ray and HD television are astonishingly 3d in appearance with no picture blur on sports. I saved over $900 vs. buying locally at Best Buy. Television arrived in about 7 days from purchase date, well worth the wait. Awesome!
