 Good performer Apr 22, 2009
Bought this TV back in November 2008 and it has proven to be a solid performer. Naturally, as with all products of this type it was obsolete the minute I opened the box, However, "obsolete" has become a relative term because the replacement model for this TV is exactly the same. The only change is a letter in the model number. This is done for marketing to make people think they are getting a new and improved product when it really is not.
(Now they have the new line of LED slim TVs, but they are way overpriced).
I have read and heard many complain about the black levels and motion on LCD TVs, but often times it's merely a matter of adjustments where the black levels are concerned. As for smooth motion the Samsung LN40A530 has no problem with movies or TV shows and the like. (It's only as good as the source after all). If you are a sports enthusiast you may want to go with a 120hz TV if your considering LCD. Although this TV is not terrible by any means, a 120Hz model will give you that edge in smooth motion that is missing from any 60Hz model.
As I stated, this TV is a solid performer and very adept at giving the best picture possible from any source and any broadcast form including 1080p which we still have yet to see come over the wire.
It even looks good just sitting there when it's off with its black piano like finish. (I don't like the "touch of color" models with the red personally so I am glad I chose this model).
The only con I can think of is that the controls on the TV itself are impossible to see in any light, so there is no way to control the TV should the remote fail from other than dead batteries.

 Excellent product at very good price Feb 07, 2009
Bought it at Sears for $900 in December 2008, which was a very good deal, though I see that now Amazon has the 550 at that price and thhis model at $820. The reason I believe its at such a good price is precisely because it is being phased out in favor of newer Samsung models 550, 650, etc instead of this 530. The only advantage some newer ones have are a) 120Hz vs 60 ; b) Dynamic Contrast Ratio (30000:1 or more vs 20000:1 which I don't think is a significant difference, especially considering the price difference).The unit is very nice/ stylish, looks very nice in our living room. Very light, well packed, extremely easy to install. Nice swivel stand can rotate horizontally easily. The image quality when watching HD channels is outstanding. REALLY nice. Don't ever want to see non-HD channels again. When watching DVDs its very nice too. Now, when watching Blu-ray DVD's, its AMAZING, other-worldly. Has really changed our TV watching experience. Be it sports, movies, Discovery-HD, whatever. Much more enjoyable.Down sides: First unit we brought home we had problems with the sound, sometimes it would work sometimes it wouldn't. Exchanged it for an equal model at sears without a problem. I guess you can always get a defective one. The new one works perfectly.The sound from the TV speakers is ok, but who listens through those in any case? Always use the Home-theater system for sound. The watching angle is ok but I think there are better ones. Somebody mentioned that didn't quite know why would they connect their laptop to it: Iconnect it via the HDMI cable to watch Netflix movies straight from their site: te quality is pretty good, though not as good as a DVD.
Overalll absolutely love it, image quality amazing, great price-performance, highly recommended.

Great TV Feb 06, 2009
I've had this TV for a little over 2 months now. The picture quality is fantastic and one advantage of this TV over the LN40A550 I immediately noticed is that the sound is WAY better on this TV. I recommend getting the best picture quality settings from the AVS forum and adjusting the back-lighting to accommodate YOUR rooms lighting. I use Warm 1 setting for blu-ray/DVD movies and normal/standard(with low dynamic contrast on) setting for regular HDTV viewing. PS3 games look great too(game mode)
If I needed another television, I would buy another one of these without hesitation.
Cons(minor) - I agree with other posts, TV remote has to be pointed directly at the TV to work.

Great TV Feb 02, 2009
I have had this TV for 10 months. It is fantastic! Great price, I paid $1100. Wish I would have bought it on Amazon. Purchased a different TV for my parents on Amazon and got the best deal...delivered for free.

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.
