- I sure was unlucky
- I was really excited to buy this TV as it had all the specs I was looking for. The picture quality was great but the upconversion from the Oppo 80 did not play well at 1080p (60hz). The 1080i played well. Most disappointing, however, was the fact that after 10 days I noticed a spot on the screen which seemed like a dead pixel. I was hoping that it was something else, but it was not. The "contamination" started spreading and I now have a full vertical line of dead pixel across the the screen. I have already informed Amazon that I would be returning the unit. After some initial hesitation, they agreed. I think I just got a bad piece. Has anyone else had this problem?

- new amsung 1080 LCD TV 52"
- great set/ be sure you purchase a DVIto HDMI cable when you buy the TV
the picture sucks with standard cables.My Cox /Suddenlink cable box has only DVI out. I suspect this is the case in a lot of places. - 2007-12-25, 0 of 6 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- different drummer
- i bought this tv because someone at sears and bestbuy raved about it. also the thread on amazon was also extremely pro and when they knocked off about 40% of the original price i went ahead and bought it.
after getting the tv i watched a blu ray dvd was it was just awesome. but then i noticed that my old toshiba 720p plasma had skin tones that i thought were more clear when i watched directv. there was also a negative review in amazon that described the "football comet effect" that i also experienced. i ended up getting a toshiba 52lx177 instead which i am very happy with. - 2007-12-25, 3 of 15 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great TV!
- This is the best TV I have ever owned. Bought it a month ago. HD Directv movies are amazing to watch. Picture is crisp, clear and bright.

- Don't buy from Samsung. They don't stand behind there products!
- I'm not ever going to buy another Samsung product. I bought this 5271F in October and it is already broken. I was watching it one morning and then it started to show some lines then just changed to a random pattern on the screen. I bought it on Oct. 19th, got it a week later and it broke on Dec. 15th. The repair shop came out today on Dec 24th and replaced the logic board knowing that it wasn't the logic board but Samsung told them to do it anyway. The repair shop knew from the pictures I emailed that it was the LCD panel but Samsung wouldn't authorize replacing the panel without replacing the logic board first. So now I have to wait who knows how much longer for a new LCD panel and then have it replaced. I tried calling Samsung to just replace the TV. They told me they could not and that I would have to go through Amazon. I tried Amazon but it has been more than 30 days so that sent me back to Samsung. They said the the service center would have to declare the TV unfixable and file a SAW report. So now I'll have to wait for the panel to be replaced but on a 2 month old TV that has less than 20 hours of use, I think replacement should be an option. Needless to say, I will not buy another Samsung product, ever! I tried rating them as a 0 but Amazon required that I give them some rating.
