 Good for about 2 weeks Mar 18, 2010
Ordered from Amazon Feb. 2010 Great price, good picture, good delivery time. After about two weeks of use the picture now blinks off and on after the T.V. has been on for about an hour. Picture is on for about 3 sec. then goes off for a second. The audio never goes away just the picture. It doesn't matter which input source I use, sat., over air ant., or DVD player. Amazon will take back for full refund or exchange for another model. Problem is this model is no longer available. A similar model will be more expensive. What to do? Called Samsung, awaiting a call from tech support to schedual a time to repair it. Don't know if i should return it for refund while I still can or get it fixed. Disappointed with Samsung but happy with Amazons customer service.

 Great TV! Mar 16, 2010
I did a lot of shopping around before I bought this TV. Amazon.com had the very best price I could find, even including sales prices at other local stores. The shipping was fast and they brought the TV in and put it where we wanted it, so that was very convenient.
I was a little nervous about the "red touch of color" but it really isn't noticeable at all. That might be a positive or negative thing, depending on who is buying it.
The picture is crystal clear. The images are sharp and there are settings to adjust the brightness. There are also a few pre-set picture settings for movies, daytime, etc.
Another thing that worried me from my research was the quality of the speakers that come with the TV. We have surround sound, but I hate it so I normally just listen to the TV without it (I did the same with the TV we had before). I haven't noticed any problems with the speakers on the TV- they sound fine to me. I'm not sure if they have been improved with the newer models or if there really was never much of a problem to begin with and some people are just very picky about the sound quality.
In short, I would recommend this TV. I would absolutely buy it again. I think it was a great value for the quality.
 Great tv for the price Mar 13, 2010
First of all, I would definitely recommend this tv. I debated for months between this tv and the LN52B630, but in the end the extra 60hz just wasn't worth the extra $$. It isn't a perfect tv, but at under $1,000 it gives you the best bang for the buck. Here's my take:
The good:
1. Only $960 as an open box item from Amazon's Warehouse Deals
2. 6 days between order and delivery
3. Delivery was hassle free and they helped set it up
4. Picture is amazing and was great right out of the box
The neutral:
1. The tv has a small line in the bottom left corner of the screen. It's behind the surface of the screen but it doesn't appear to be dead pixels. It's only about 1/2" long and as thin as a pencil line. That's what you get for buying a used, open-box item, but it is barely noticeable and doesn't affect our viewing experience in the slightest.
The bad:
1. Let's talk about the speakers...I read every review I could find on this tv before buying and I came to the conclusion that there are some audiophiles out there that need perfect audio. I am not such a person. I enjoy movies, watching tv, and playing a few games on my xbox, but as long as the audio isn't noticeably bad it's always been acceptable. That said, out of the box the speakers were ok...kind of hollow-sounding and tinny, but acceptable. Within a week they started sounding a little worse and started making a sort of vibration sound when you turn it up to regular volume. I wasn't going to get a speaker system right away, but I decided it couldn't wait anymore so I bought the Sony HTCT100 system (5 stars by the way) which solved the problem.
All in all I think that this tv is a great value. 120hz would be nice, but it isn't necessary. If you do decide to buy this tv, I'd go ahead and get an external audio system if you don't have one already.
Beautiful TV but...... Mar 11, 2010
I recieved the TV and was very excited. It was beautiful! Three days later it decided to turn on and off on its own. Couldn't resolve the problem so I sent it back and bought a SONY
Really enjoying the experience Mar 04, 2010
This is a great value and everyone loves the picture. It's got a sharp picture with fantastic color. I have made a few tweaks to get it how I like it (surprisingly found the tweaks I did on my own match almost exactly to the calibration settings recommended here by several reviewers). The sound is okay - but I agree with a lot of other reviewers that surround sound would make a vast improvement. I plan to get a new surround sound system soon - will not mess with the old system I have that has never worked right.
Delivery could not have been better. I got a call less than 48 hours after I had placed my order that they were ready to deliver. The delivery company was very accommodating to my schedule. We had extremely cold weather the day of delivery along with some bad roads; the company kept in contact with me to let me know when to expect delivery. Two men brought the TV in, unpacked it, set it up then explained they couldn't turn it on because of the extreme cold and advised me to wait at least 2 hours before I turned it on. I used that opportunity to go purchase an HDMI cable (not included, so be prepared if you don't have one) and a longer cable for my DVD player and was then AMAZED at the picture. Great product and fantastic service as usual from Amazon!

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.
