 samsunglcd tv Jun 13, 2009
This was the largest purchase I have made on-line, it turned out truly
wonderful. I am thoroughly happy with the television, it is spectacular. This purchase was recommended by my youngest son in Chicago, yes, I would
do this again. I did some research on my own, Amazon.com was the best buy!
 Great value, disappointing HDMI Feb 21, 2009
I had purchased this TV in October of '08 from another vendor. I was researching 720p sets for about month before I purchased. I had planned on using my media center PC with it. I really didn't want a 1080p set because the only true 1080p source these days is blu-ray, which I had no intention of investing in. I was impressed with all aspects of the set since I bought it. Ghosting was present sometimes. I found it really depends on the source of the content that produces more or less ghosting. Yes there are the 120hz HDTVs out there, but from what I have seen they can't get rid of all the ghosting. 120hz sets double the frame rate of content that isn't supposed to be run at such a high frame rate. The result is weird and unnatural looking motion in movies that are only supposed to be running at 24 frames per second, not 120. Ghosting and motion blur are an inherent limitation in LCD technology, LCD owners will have to accept this. I was looking into plasmas to, but all the 720p plasmas I found seemed to have a native resolution of 1024x768, which is not a wide screen resolution. In addition, plasmas are subject to burn-in on the screens, something I didn't wanna have to deal with. Plasma sets are being phased out pretty fast anyway. So I chose this TV, it wasn't too big, wasn't too small, and had everything I required.
Out of the Box, it showed impressive HD picture with off-air HD channels. The setup with auto-program was very easy and straight forward. SD content is very watchable. Hooking my media center PC up to the VGA connection produced a flawless picture. The built-in speakers produced a satisfying full sound. The unit seemed like the perfect 720p set, until I tried to use more than one HDMI device. Apparently, for some very odd reason, only 1 out of the 3 HDMI inputs will utilize the TV's native resolution of 1360x768. As many people know, if you are not running an LCD display at its native resolution, you are not getting its full potential in picture quality and sharpness. The other 2 HDMI inputs default to a resolution of 1280x720, which because its not the native res of the TV, looks blocky and slightly out of focus. So for me, these other 2 HDMI inputs are basically useless. I am going to have to buy an HDMI hub now to accommodate my multiple HDMI devices so they can all utilize the TV's native resolution. If I had known about this flaw, I would have never purchased it. Samsung, if you are listening, is there a purpose behind this design flaw?

Very happy with this TV so far (1 month). Picture is great; like the source switching - it knows what's connected and just switches between those peripherals; like the stand and the swiveling; side AV inputs are great. One thing that could be better in my view is the remote, the button layout isn't great: the channel up and down buttons and the enter button are far away from the number buttons.
Great TV Great Price Dec 30, 2008
I am 1 of those persons that bought a LCD for playing my PS3 this purchase did not let me down. Everything shows great on this TV and it has great featues and it is easy to set up. It looks great and even though you cannot see the speakers they actually sound ok.
Internet is a great experience on this TV as is watching movies and the endless amounts of ports makes you wonders how you lived without it before. I especially like the TV turn on feature which is now 1 of my 3 alarms to get me out of bed.
Wonderfuly TV i fyou buy this product you will not be disappointed unless you really needed to by a 50+ inch TV to fill a void in a HUGE room.

Picture Perfect! Nov 19, 2008
We've been waiting to get a bigger tv for our family room apartment and decided to go to Brandsmart to do some searching. We first looked at a 23" Zenith that had a good price, but then the worker showed us this 40" LCD HDTV priced at around $800 but he reduced the price by $100 and we took it home. Here are the things we like and don't like about it:
Pros: It picked up some of the digital channels when using the auto search feature and not the ones that don't have the signal. Set up was sort of easy but fun to do! The picture was amazing, but it wasn't actually 720p. It was 1080p or 1080i. Lol! Whenever there's no input device connected like a dvd player, it'll remain in tv mode when you press the input button on the remote. And it has 2 hdmi inputs.
Cons: The only problem is that the picture wasn't that great as a monitor comparing to the 19 inch version but it is okay for when we are watching a dvd through our pc. But other that, great tv with the perfect picture! You won't be disappointed once you see it for yourself! :)

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
