hdtv antennae hookup
This tv is great regarding picture, size and price. I have enjoyed it since day one, with cable first then dish now. Then I feel hurt because it cannot perform what my neighbors less reknown tvs perform. With the craze of HDTV, 9o% of my neighbors go out and buy an indoor/outdoor HDTV antenna, hook it up to their TVs and then bragge about how many local HD channels they get with such and such antenna hooked to such and such tv. My Samsung does not perform as well and I avoid talking about it. I wonder whether this TV does have a true digital tuner. It does not pull in any hd channel with whatever kind of HDTV antenna, indoor by the windows, outdoor on the rooftop, directional, omni-directional, amplified/non-amplified, you name it. I have got no HD channels, period. Would anyone please tell me why?
BTW the same phenomenon happens to my Samsung DPL TV, HL-S series, that is supposed to be equipped too with a digital tuner.

WOW best tv for SD on the plantet
I live in a place with a 42" 1080 lcd and a old school 720p lcd and a 65'' dlp projection and none of them come close to this display in upsizzing without making people look weird. My digital cable sd brodcast up sized to fill screen looks better than hd on dlp projection. With still 85% of stuff on tv in SD and will continue to be well into the future this tv is a solid investment. Works great.
This TV is a great tv, got it durning christmas special for cheap with white glove delivery which was excellent in Louisiana (New Orleans) but they only send one guy so be prepared to help.

Stuck pixels and posterization
I had one of these sets delivered a week ago. From a picture standpoint it looks good for bright scenes, but has pronounced posterization on darker images. When the lighting is right, the color reproduction is outstanding.

Mine also has 4 stuck pixels, 3 constant red, one flashing red. A replacement has been ordered, so time will tell if I just got a bad one, or if these sets are prone to stuck pixels.

Samsung HD TV
My son got this for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. The picture quality is better than our Samsung HD 55" 1080p rear projection. It was also a great price for a gret HD tv.
