 Flawless Best Option for Money August 27, 2008
AOD "Anthony" NJ (South Jersey)
I will keep this simple. The Tv itself is awesome. The size and specs make this a perfect choice for those who need over 55 inches and dont want to spend money on an lcd or plasma. I own a panasonsic plamsma at 1080p but this unit blows it away. While the other reviewers mentioned the greatness of no bulb replacement; I will touch on the 3-D setup when hooking a pc up to it. Google Earth looks holographic images just pop out at you and 3-D dvd look the same. Dont be fooled by the gimmick of turning regular dvd into 3-d (jumping out) or mpg the technology only allows for field depth. Great 3-D TV I love gaming on it as well. To me the colors and movies look 10x better than any other technology.
Unreal Picture! August 24, 2008
D. Peterson (Ashland, VA United States)
Ditto the others who said it looked far better at home than in the store. The picture off the HD channels from Comcast is out of sight compared to various flat screens - very life-like and almost jumping off the screen. Flesh tones are far more natural than I've seen on LCDs and plasmas, rapid movement is quite crisp. Non-HD channels are a mixed bag with some looking quite good. I think it may be that channels like Disney Channel (my daughter, not me!) are digital all the way through while the local network affiliate channels pumpbed through Comcast may be of much poorer quality.
Samsung Opinion August 23, 2008
James C. Owen (Ohio)
I am more than happy with this product. The size, and technology for the price is a great value. It has a stunning picture and the tv itself is very attractive. I am also pleased that there is no need to replace bulbs. I would recommend this television to anyone.
So Happy with this tv August 17, 2008
C. Foss (Saint Paul, MN USA)
I never write reviews - But, I am so so happy with the tv, and thought I would take a moment to express why. My in-laws have a Sony 50", a couple of other friends have 50" and 60" rear projections as well. They are nice, but the time it takes for their televisions to turn on is night and day with our Samsung. The LED pops up right away, the color is insane, such a wonderful screen. Plus the viewing angle! We can easily sit on sides of the TV and see everything very well, there is a slight change in color. But, its still very good. We purchased this tv last fall, 07. No regrets. My wife and I are always in awe when we watch tv.
One feature I like is: The tv will sense the equipment plugged into it. I have three HDMI devices plugged into the TV. Blue-Ray, Apple TV, and Comcast digital cable. Occasionally I'll plug my laptop into it using the RGB port. The TV will make only the items that are on or plugged in available. So, when I switch devices using the "source" button on the remote, it will only go to the item that is on. Nice.
The only thing is, it doesn't have Picture In Picture. That would be nice, not needed, but with the Olympics on it would be nice. However, I didn't miss that feature until I was trying to catch Michel Phelps last swim.
-------------------------Update
The review that I wrote is about the version tv just before this one. It is almost identical based on the specs. The only difference is... This updated version has Picture in Picture. My version appears to be discontinued, this is the replacement.
 Excellent picture, but DISAPPOINTED August 16, 2008

I orderd this TV on August 10, 2008, after a lot of research and much delibration (becasue this is the first time I am buying a TV online) from Amazon LLC. The unit arrived, after the shipping company called to setup a time for delivery.
So far, so good.
The people who delivered the TV on August 16, 2008, setup the TV and it powered UP fine and it connected to my DVD player fine. As mentioned by several reviewers, I checked the screen for any "dark dots (malfunctioning pixels)" and also for "screen distortion" and fortunately neither was an issue. I signed the delivery receipt and thanked the guys for delivering the TV.
So far, so good.
Exactly, 30 min after they left, TWO OVERLAPPING WHITE CIRCLES appeared on the screen (slightly below and to the right of the center of the screen). I can still see the picture thru' these whitish areas. This whitish spots are especially visibile on dark scenes. I turned the lights off, lowered the blinds, changed DVD's, started praying that the spots would disappear, but nothing, they spots did not go away. REALLY FRUSTRATED, since I was getting ready to watch the closing ceremony of the olympics.
DISAPPOINTED!!! I am calling AMAZON tomorrow to see what my options are. Will update this post after that.
UPDATE on AUG 21:
The lady at Amazon customer service was very nice. I got a return authorization in like 60seconds and 2 days later the shippers were at my door to pick up the TV. The two guys who came in also immediately notice the whitish spots and carted te TV away. I am waiting for the refund now.
