WOW - Stunning Picture and Sound!

Strengths: Good Value, High Quality

Weakness: The sound could be a little richer.

We just purchased this TV, and I am amazed at the quality of the picture on this set. It is so crystal clear and the colors so true that it is breathtaking. I just can't get over how great the picture is. Being an artist, I am visually sensitive, which is why I hesitated buying an LCD up until now. CRTs display the truest colors and the deepest blacks, so I have avoided LCD and plasma sets....

Exceptional TV for a home theater

Strengths: Crisp, clear picture, lots of inputs

Weakness: Nothing significant: the dial on the remote is oversensitive, takes a couple of seconds to turn on

I am a casual TV-person, not an electronics expert. However I did shop around quite a bit when looking for a TV for our home theater. I was originally planning on purchasing last year's 46" Samsung, but delayed too long and then this new model came out. However, it seems even better than last year's - and it was less expensive. The picture is fantastic. We watch several movies per week, and this...

Mind Blowing Picture!

Strengths: Excellent picture quality, HD channels look crystal clear like looking out through a window, brilliant colors, bright screen with great blacks. 120 Hz processing surely makes a difference.

Weakness: Analog and SD channels are just OK to watch (shouldn't be an issue next year). The remote control "rotary" navigation wheel is too sensitive, is easier to use the wheel as a "clicker".

I haven't observed any TBE (triple ball effect) that reportedly used to be an issue with last year's 120 Hz models of Samsung. I didn't experience any auto-shut off issues with the TV either but nonetheless, I upgraded the firmware to version 1.003 that Samsung released in the 1st week of April 08. Audio is fine but not too great. Oh, I have used it as a monitor for my Dell Laptop to view TV...

1080p from Blu-Ray is mind blowing

Strengths: Picture Quality, Connections (including RJ45 LAN port), InfoLink Feature, Design, User upgradeable firmware,

Weakness: none so far.

With Blu-Ray and Direct TV HD, she might want to get that honey-do list to me early in the week. WOW!!! Samsung is ahead of the curve with this set.

Awesome TV at a great price

Strengths: Price, Connections, Upgradeable firmware, Easy to navigate menus, Sound Quality

Weakness: More Internet features could of been included. Stock quotes don't seem worth the time to setup the ticker symbols.

We picked up this TV at a local Circuit City a few weeks back. The price has dropped off another $200 dollars which makes this TV a really great buy. We didn't even hook up our 5.1 surround sound receiver after hearing how awesome the sound is out of just the TV!

Excellent Product!

Strengths: Easy-to-use menu, watched the Masters golf tournament and it was as if I was on the course. I felt like the wind was blowing on my face it was so vivid! Installation was easy. and no adjustments were

Weakness: None that I can think of. The contrast ratio is 50000 and it makes every view spectacular on HD broadcasts.

Cetainly a TV to reckon with. I almost bought and earlier 46" Samsung model and it was very bice, but I am glad I waited for this new series to arrive.

Beautiful!

Strengths: Picture quality. Sound. Easy to navigate menus. Nice touch controls on the set itself.

Weakness: None! Heard there was an issue with a fan not working on some sets which caused them to turn themselves off. Have not seen it on mine. I am sure Samsung will stand behind any with the problem.

Beautiful picture! Amazing picture when viewing high def channels! I can't imagine there is a better LCD picture on the market. Love the 120 MHz for high def sports viewing! Can't wait to get the blue-ray and experience the full 1080P!

Blows away the Sony XBR series!

Strengths: Deep rich blacks with 50,000 to 1 contrast ratio. Stylish design with "Touch of Red" border. Amazing vibrant colors. Feels like you're right there when watching HD. The SD picture also better than mos

Weakness: Remote is terrible especially the jog dial! Buy the Harmony One remote. There is definite glare due to the black glossy screen but not as bad with the TV on.

My son has a Sony XBR 52" which he loves but the Samsung has the better picture and more contrast. Have had NO RESTART ISSUES. I bought this from Amazon (great delivery & customer service) and got back over $300 in credits because of their 30 day price guarantee! I hooked up my DVD and Cable box directly to the TV with HDMI cables (got a kit from Costco for $60 along with an optical cable). I did...

Good, but Inconsistent

Strengths: Great picture, nice look, swivel stand, lots of features.

Weakness: Some look better than others.

First, this is a very popular television, and for good reason. This TV has excellent picture quality, decent sound and lots of features. The InfoLink was a neat feature; I ended up using it more than I would have expected. In addition, there are a wealth of settings and adjustments to make the TV look just right. I purchased 2 of these televisions. The first one has a real bright spot in the...

Looks great

Strengths: Great picture, colors look great. The color black is excellent. Almost like sitting watching a movie.

Weakness: The remote I fould it confusing. The turn wheel like everyone else said is hard to use.

I am pleased and I feel I got it for a fair price. But it is hard to use with the remote that came with it. I am very please with the colors.
