Amazing TV,
by Zakkary A. Beebout, 2009-06-23

First of all, this LCD TV is by far the best in its price range. The 70k:1 ratio on this monster is beautiful!!!. It conveniently has 4 HDMI ports, which is plenty of plug-ins for your video game consoles, BlueRay players, DVD players what ever you plug for HDMI. The Game mode does wonders for your gaming experience. It makes your games have less of a motion blur. If you are an online gamer or a casual, Playstation 3 or Xbox360 gamer this one is for you. Both consoles look amazing.
The buttons on the remote are very straight forward and easy to use, menus are easy to navagate. there are plenty of features that are in the menus that i dont know what they do.
It also has an energy saver that you can set to different setting for your room lighting.
I can go on and on about this television. I would recommend this to any one who likes to play games, watch movies or has HD satellite channels.

I would buy another one just like it if i could.

P.S. I have looked at many reviews for this T.V. and i can see my TOC just fine. I think it has to do with the way the light reflect off of the T.V's black finish.

Wow what a picture!,

This set was delivered 2 days ago. The delivery company attached the stand and set up the tv and helped me get started. Easy to program basic functions. Lots of functions I have not had before so it will take a while to figure it all out. Works great out of the box - looks great. Vivid pictures on all channels but amazing on HD channels. Picture is very crisp and the colors are amazing. I have only had to adjust the picture aspect on the channels that are not 16:9 so that the pictures are not stretched, I have not had to adjust anything else. I ordered the Samsung DVD-1090P upconvert DVD player and the two products communicate great with each other and the pictures are amazing. The red touch-of-color is almost non-existent, but I didn't buy the tv for that. Only improvement that I can see is to up the sound output a little bit. The only other item I had to purchase was the HDMI cable 6 ft. HQ 1080P 1.3b to hook the Dvd player to the tv. Great purchase, we are watching the US Open Golf in HD, wow. We love it (would even be tempted to purchase a larger version, but this one is great.) Mine came with a cord to hook to the wall or tv stand to prevent tipping.

THIS IS A MUST HAVE TV FOR ANYONE!,

I was thrilled when receiving this television set! It is even better than described! It arrived safely in it's box and I was able to easily lift it and set it up on my own without any assistance. I like that the touch of red truly is just "a touch" because it is perfect and not distracting. The option to set the screen just for movies is great as it makes my movie night more enjoyable. The picture is clear...terrific, not at all fuzzy. The sound quality is excellent! I like the sturdy swivel base that comes with it. Everything about this t.v. is great!

still wonderful,

i have been researching ever since our old tv died, for several weeks now. we ended up buying this samsung. best buy told us you get more for your money with samsung. the quality of picture looked the same. this had the features i wanted. so far so good. is fine viewing from the side. great color, great picture, sound is just fine. has the pc connections capability and 4 hdmi inputs and i have 2 dvd players and a vcr and the dvr, so that is great. it's got the sandisk slot too, which will be great for watching slideshows of our pictures. my daughter hooked it up and it was all pretty straightforward, so that was nice. love the light weight and swivel stand (sony doesn't have the swivel stand). the sony had great customer reviews, but the samsung had slightly higher. if any problems surface later, i'll come back to this, but so far it's pretty much perfect. oh, and we couldn't figure out how to get the computer connected and called the helpline for samsung, and they told us something basic which took care of it - so the helpline was good. we got through to them right away too, which was nice. i thought we might be on hold for a long time.

i'm coming back to this, as we have now owned the tv for several months and we love it. it is still perfect. i can't think of anything that i don't love. the picture is outstanding, the sound will knock you out if you want to put it up that high, hd is incredible. i can't imagine any reason for spending more or any tv that could have better color, picture, etc.

Really stylish,

After a lot of research finally decided on this new model with TOC.Happy with the delivery as it arrived before expected with installation done .The picture quality is really good esp the HD Channels.My DVD plays too good in it.It has 1080 p(Full HD) with resolution 1920 x 1080 and dynamic contrast ratio is also high compared to LN40A550.Sound is pretty ok.TOC is really glamourous n makes it look gorgeous.Not too much red but just a tinge of it makes it look beautiful.Light weight n its swivel function is an added feature which makes it more lovely.Overall an amazing set with a very stylish look.A good set for the price.
