- EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE
- Had TV for almost 30 days and am well pleased. Plug and Play right out of the box to a DIRECTV HD Receiver and pic was outstanding with no adjustments. TV arrived two days ahead of CEVA estimate by Today Delivery subcontractor from LAX. Delivery man was outstanding, ensured that TV was working properly before he departed. Would recommend Amazon.Com to family and friends.

- Great LCD for the money
- The TV arrived in perfect condition. We had it mounted on the wall and have really enjoyed the quality of the picture and sound. Lots of options available in those areas. We already had a Samsung VCR/DVD player/recorder and it works great with the TV remote.

- Once you go HD you'll never go back...
- I had some expectations when i ordered this television, the 30,000 to 1 contrast ratio being highest on the list. Happy to say it has met all expectations I had. Out of the box settings were spot on and I haven't played with any. I did go to BB and look at televisions, couldn't find this model, but on thing stood out was that salesmen who were not on commission at 2 separate locations steered me to Samsung for the quality of picture. I took that to heart and bought this one... buy on YOU WON"T BE DISAPPOINTED

- Great TV. Questionable delivery.
- I've had this TV for about 4 weeks now. I'm using it with an HD cable DVR and a Blu-Ray player. We also use it with our Play Station 2. The picture has been great from all sources. The sound quality is excellent.
The delivery from Amazon was a little questionable. When the TV was shipped Amazon sent me an email saying that I would be phoned by the shipper to schedule a delivery. The shipper never contacted me. When the scheduled delivery date passed I asked Amazon for the shipper's phone number. Amazon did not have it (they did confirm that the shipper should call me at the phone number that Amazon had on file, they also confirmed the phone number). So, I used the shipper's phone number from their web site. Sure, enough they did not even have my phone number on file. They said they had sent a post card to me, but I never received it. Anyway, the shipper set a delivery date and told me that I would be called 1 hour before the delivery. They never called me, but luckily my wife was home when they showed up. The end result was to delay the delivery by about a week. The TV was fine when it arrived, just late.
I also have a friend who bought a TV from Amazon and received it via the same shipping company and had a very similar experience. - 2008-05-30, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Make sure YOU'RE available!
- The TV is great. No problems.
If you get the "white glove" treatment, be forewarned. It took me two weeks to arrange to get the set after it had already arrived in my state. It was sent to a holding place 90 miles away. The delivery service is in our area twice a week, only from 8:00 to 12:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Since my wife and I are both teachers; there is no way we could be here. They transferred our set to another shipping company and delivered it to my parents' home instead, ergo no "white glove" treatment involved.
The TV has been great. The picture is adequate, the sound is acceptable, and the price was what made it worthwhile. I'd say buy it, but read the fineprint on the shipping rider. - 2008-05-30, 1 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
