- Very happy with TV & delivery - minor annoyance
- As most have commented, I did some research prior to purchasing this set through Amazon. I have not yet hooked it up to a HD signal or source yet, so I will reserve judgement until I do that.
The set looks great and the non HD picture quality is good.
Minor annoyance - there is a bit of glare (bright room), Also, the controls that are on the front of the TV are almost impossible to see. They are in the lower right hand corner (on/off, volume, channel, source). I realize everyone is lazy and pretty much uses the remote, but when the kids hide it, you need to be able to go the old fashioned route and change things on the set.
CEVA delivery was prompt and courteous. - 2008-09-16, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- AWSOME FOR GAMING!!!!!!
- This is my first High Def and the biggest TV I've ever had. When I go into stores and watch their displays of high def tv's I've never been really impressed at all. The picture wasn't that great and they were way over priced. This Samsung is the exception. It is unbelievable how good it looks. I barely watch any TV but I play a lot of video games and watch a lot of movies and this is perfect. PS3 and XBOX 360 look amazing!! Crystal clear and surprisingly so because it's a 46 inch screen so you'd expect some rough edges or something but there is none. Amazons price is also on average about $600 bucks cheaper than I could find it anywhere else. Great deal. Perfect TV.

Beautiful picture,easy to navigate
Con- Glossy screen (reflects too much light in a multi window
setting-can be overcome by angling the set)
Conclusion-Amazon is much better than BB or CC. - 2008-09-15, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Superb TV if ambient light is reasonably well-controlled
- After using this TV for over a week in a room with four large windows (two 60x30, two 80x35) with south and east exposure, respectively, I second the concerns of some reviewers about reflections off the glossy screen. Fortunately, I watch TV mostly at night. For watching during the day, the blackout shades on the larger two windows and brown fabric light-filtering shades on the other two (which are facing the TV) are eliminating the reflections almost completely. Without the shades lowered on the windows facing the TV, dark movies or scenes noticeably suffer from very distracting reflections on anything but the brightest material. Thus, light control should be a paramount concern for people planning to use the TV during the day in rooms with windows facing the screen.
However, in a light-controlled room, this TV truly offers one of the best pictures I have ever seen. Superb detail and, with the unit calibrated (using the Digital Video Essentials HD Basics: Blu-ray DVD), an astounding color trueness and deep blacks (though obviously not quite on par with Pioneer's Kuro plasmas - if you want and can afford that, go with Samsung's 950 series or the Kuros). Conveniently, the inputs can be adjusted individually, so you can use the set's pretty exhaustive picture adjustments to optimize the settings for each input.
I am pairing this unit with a Pioneer BDP-51FD blu-ray player and a Denon 2930CI upscaling player set to 1080p output, so your mileage may vary somewhat, especially when watching regular (non blu-ray) DVDs, depending on the player you use. However, the set appears to have surprisingly (given the price point) good video processing and correctly de-interlaces interlaced material, so unless your upscaling player is rather good, you may want to try having it put out 480i and let the TV do the scaling.
The punchline: Superb picture IF ambient light can be controlled. - 2008-09-15, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Very Pleased
- Received my tv 9-8-08 the driver set it up and made sure it functioned before he left, I don't believe anyone could ask for more. Have not taken advantage of HD potential yet due to conflicting issues with local cable company , may end up with satellite service .
