Date: 2006-06-05 GREAT TV - GET UNIVERSAL REMOTE THOUGH I was debating between this TV and a Sony 55" dlp and I went with this one because it was cheaper...and I'm not disappointed one bit! The picture is great, especially wiht HD signals. I got a CABLE CARD from my cable company so I don't need a box and I can use the TV's TV GUIDE which is less of a hassle. The only reason why I gave 4 out of 5 stars is because of the remote, espeically the PIP function. You have to go to the MENU to change the PIP inputs and you can only use the UP/DOWN buttons to change the channels. This is a major hassle during football season when I want to watch multiple games to keep track of my fantasy teams (guys, you know what I'm talking about!). I would recommend getting a univeral remote. I recently bought the Harmony 628 and it works great! Only paid $48 from Amazon with free shipping. Otherwise, this is a great TV, highly recommend it. Date: 2006-05-12 This TV is Excellent!!! I bought this TV back in November 2005 at Best Buy when it was a little bit more expensive. I considered the plasma's and the LCD's, but this TV is so much better than what I saw at several seperate stores. The picture quality is great, and even the sound quality isn't too bad either as a stand alone. When I have my 6.1 suround sound BOSE speakers connected with the TV it makes any movie, TV show or game sound incredible. For this past Super Bowl we had a party, and everyone commented on the TV and the quality of the HD channels. I currently go through Comcast for my cable company, and us componet cables for almost everything I have. I also have a Sony DVD player, XBOX, PS2, Gamecube, and XBOX 360 all connected to my TV by my receiver. Everything that I play or watch looks great, and I have no complaints with the quality. My only complaint would be the lack of options on the PIP. I have an old 32" Sony flatscreen TV and it came with a lot of options for PIP. If you do or don't use PIP(picture in picture), it doesn't matter because this TV is still Excellent!!! Date: 2006-04-27 Samsung 56" DLP I bought this item on April 17 and it arrived at my place on April 25. I bought it from Amazon directly for $1799 and it included delivery. The free delivery was great! They brought it up to the second floor, unpacked it, set it on the stand and took away the box. Before the delivery guys left, I powered on the TV and made sure that it functioned properly. I also purchased the samsung stand for this TV. I got one of the updated ones, which seems to have fixed their probelem of not supporing the TV in the center. I even called the stand manufacturer to confirm that I have the updated stand. I bought the stand from BB since they were selling it for $150. I am pleased with my Amazon buying experience and would purchase big items from them again. Date: 2006-04-23 Great TV for the money! Well, I read all the reviews here and decided to go for it. I am very glad I did. This TV is great and just like everyone says, 15 minutes after opening it you're watching great TV. It takes some tweaking to get it looking better but even out of the box, it's cool. I used the Star Wars Episode III disc to optimize the DVD settings with the THX optimizer and now DVDs look even better. I still have to get the HDMI cable to make the digital cable look better. Great TV, great price. Downsides are just like everyone else said - the TV guide feature is highly annoying. Samsung would do well to get rid of them. I actually can't figure out how to disable it completely yet but I reduced it somewhat. The PIP might not be the best but my digital cable has PIP so I'll use that one. These are SMALL gripes. This TV is amazing and all my pals with high end TVs were really impressed. The family is happy and so am I. Just be careful with it on the stand as it's not that heavy and one good push can knock it off. I'm going to get some rubber feet for it or something... DO NOT Hesitate to buy this television. Of course there are better and there always will be but this one is fantastic. Good job Samsung. Date: 2006-04-15 Go Ahead, Buy It!!! I won't waste your time telling you how great this TV is, the other reviewers have covered that and I agree.What I will say is,if you're having doubts about buying a big screen on line, let me ease your mind. First of all, the price is excellent. Best Buy sells this for $2699.00. Plus, you'll pay tax and probably pay for delivery too. Amazons listed price is ALL you'll pay. As for shipping,it took about 10 days and was delivered by a moving company who brought it in the house, set it up and even took the box and packing materials with them. Fifteen minutes after the truck pulled in my driveway I was watching TV, no exaggeration. Did I mention that the picture is incredible? Anyway, go ahead, buy this from Amazon right now! * Price is subject to change. |
