Date: 2008-10-28 Wow! Since everyone's got their own issues and configuration, I'll talk about our configuration, not just the TV itself. Bottom line: this TV is fantastic. We just got it along with the Samsung BD-P1500 1080p Blu-ray Player and a cheap HDMI cable. Amazon threw in two free Blu-ray disks. For a couple of bucks a month we've upgraded our Netflix subscription to Blu-ray. Delivery of the TV was simple--we inspected for physical damage, checked the TV to make sure it worked, and sent the deliveryman on his way. We get over-the-air TV, not cable or satellite. I just plugged in the antenna cable, powered up the TV. In a minute it found all the channels (regular and DT and HD), set itself up, and was good to go. The only mistake it made was on Daylight Savings Time--it thinks it has already ended, so I had to manually reset the time. Stunning picture, elegant design, right-out-of-box set-up. The Samsung Blu-ray remote works perfectly with this TV. It's a little cleaner layout than the nice but many-buttoned Samsung TV remote. (Our second Blu-ray disk displayed an irksome "Bonus View' box, but a quick Google search led me to a button sequence--Popup Menu/Info/Popup Menu--to make it go away.) The TV speakers are great. Perhaps down the road we'll add a speaker system , but in our not-so-big living room the TV sound seems plenty good enough. We've got lots of windows and sunlight, but the screen of this Samsung is fine even in full daylight. The touch-of-red is subtle, and the overall look is sleek and elegant. We waited a long time to replace our 1991 Panasonic Prism 19" TV, and did a lot of reading of reviews. You won't want to wait as long as we did to get this great TV. Date: 2008-10-27 Amazing TV! I couldn't be happier. The picture of the local HD is WOW. I never seen a TV with such clear picture. It's theater like...it looks absolutely shocking...the picture is as good if not BETTER than theater picture in my opinion. If you're watching a movie in HD or a show in HD, you feel as if you're right up there at the theater because the picture scream out to you and you feel like you can reach out and touch the characters. I am actually embarrassed that the characters on TV look THAT clear because i feel like i am invading their privacy because you can see every wrinkles they have, pimples....whether their clothes are dirty...it's THAT AMAZING! I also like the fact the the picture size adjust itself as they shown on the screen. A lot of TVs don't do that..and as result, you get bad blurry video in certain segment of video...be it commercials or whatever...you name it!! The sound ain't bad either...it's above decent. You can always hook up to a sound system. I don't know why some complaint about the red touch around the screen as being distracted....it looks absolutely beautiful. Why would you be distracted by it?? I don't get it. It's like a nice touch....very slick and don't bother you at all..no glaring. When you're watching the TV...you're not looking at it. I like the red touch because it makes the TV look unique. This TV also allowed you to play files off of the PC. Some of the video files don't work because of wrong video size or incompatible with sound...i hope they come out with an update to fix this issue. They should allow you to play ANY FILES regardless of the size of the video or the sound it incorporated. Date: 2008-10-24 Great TV! Showed up with white glove shipping service which is a really nice touch. The TV does everything it needs to, and more - though the extras are pretty clunky (but who buys a TV to get recipes anyways??). I use DISH TV non-HD reciever, and a non-blue ray DVD, and everything looks great anyways. Date: 2008-10-11 amazing picture I have to say that my whole experience with purchasing this TV was easy and great. The delivery was complete with in 20 minutes. Now that I have an HD cable box hooked up, the picture is amazing. I can't believe how much detail I can see. I have not dug into all of the features, but so far, this TV is great and I look forward to watching it. Sports are not blurry at at, you can see the dirt come up from the ground with football. Date: 2008-10-10 Impressed I was very impressed by the picture quality. Can not say enough good things.
