- Makes a Great Computer Monitor
- Bought this for use as a Computer Monitor. Great display at 1920x1080p resolution when connected HDMI/DVI. With a press of the remote, it also doubles as an HDTV when I want to catch the news, etc. Had it for about a month and no complaints. Got 2 other Samsung LCD HDTVs and they both are flawless, so far.
One thing to be aware of; if you connect it HDMI/DVI, be sure to use HDMI 2. This port is specially designed to configure itself for computer use. - 2008-11-30, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Simply awesome
- I bought this TV based on price and reputation and haven't been disappointed. I already have a 27 inch 720p HDTV and the difference is stunning. The picture is awesome! I also found it incredibly easy to set up. The big ergonomic remote is highly intuitive and easy to find, yet looks very techie. If I have a complaint it the internal speakers that don't push out enough sound, especially when viewing DVD's

- Adorama Camera Tried a Bait and Switch
- Purchased Lcd TV from Adorama Camera and was sent a shipping conformation date. Then a couple days later, recieved a call from salesperson asking for a $175 dollars more for the model I purchased. They claimed Amazon made the error on the model price. I told them that this was not my problem and that I expected the unit that I bought to be shipped as per the conformation I recieved. They tried to offer me a lesser unit, but I refused. I tried to get trnsfered to the owner, Mr. Mendowitz, but kept getting transfered to diffrent sales people. I insisted on talking to the owner, and was told he would call me back. Next thing I know my order was cancelled and payment returned. So I filed a complaint with the BBB in New York on this firm. Be wary of the bait and switch these guys try to get you to either pay more or accept a lesser unit.

- Great product
- Great product - I have a 46" Samsung and love the TV. This one is also just as high quality. However, I should have skipped the 1080p on a 32" and stuck with the 720. With this screen size you really can't tell the difference.

- First HDTV for us
- We finally made the plunge and purchased this TV. We use it to watch TV and movies and to screen digital photos. We don't watch sports or use it for games. The picture quality is fantastic. We also purchased an upscaling DVD player (Philips DVP 5992/37, Costco) to go with this TV until Blueray players drop in price. The combo works very well together.
Pros:
-Excellent picture quality
-USB port for viewing (and very limited editing) of photos from a digital camera. You can quickly create an onscreen slide show.
-Automatically communicates with DVD player via HDMI connection (no hunting for the video channel)
-Well written instruction manual
-Flexibility (energy saving modes, ability to change image size,variety of audio modes)
-Easy to read and understand remote
Cons:
-Lateral rotation of TV on stand is limited (maybe 45 degrees). Makes it hard to access the back of the TV if inside cabinetry.
-Does not automatically display all photos in upright position, and you have to go three levels into a menu to do this.
I use this TV to quickly screen photos from my digital camera by loading them through the USB port. I can delete the duds using the TV remote, which is a big timesaver for me (and easier on my eyes than using my computer monitor). The digital photo quality is just stunning when viewed on this TV.
I purchased an HDMI cable through Amazon for connecting the DVD player to the TV, and saved a bundle by comparison to the local vendors. - 2008-10-09, 6 of 6 people found this review helpful, Rated:
