Best choice for a first HDTV
I won't go into technical details, but I just wanted to write a review in support of most of the things other people have said about this television. I wasn't really in the market for a new TV, but I saw a great bundle deal on another site for this set, an xbox 360, and Halo 3. I almost pulled the trigger until I saw the price that Amazon was offering. That was the catalyst that started my home theater spending frenzy. So far, I have no regrets.
Within 3 days of my order, the pack...

I'm as satisfied with this purchase as any I've ever made - truly a superb buy
(Advice for using closed captioning on component and HDMI inputs at the end.)
I love this TV.
It replaced a Sony 46" rear video projector manufactured in 1995, which along with my animals and many other items of importance to me survived a flood back in 2000. I had stubbornly held on to that TV, mostly because it had a big (if not terribly clear) picture, but even more, didn't want to spend the money. Then it gave up the ghost, and I had no choice.
Quick research...

Great TV, Awesome price
Very happy with this purchase. Picture quality is AWESOME!!! I do not have any problems with bowing or the smiley face effect that I have read about. The sound on this TV is HORRIBLE! If you are not hooking it up to a 5.1 or better sound system, this TV would not be a good purchase. The bezel around the edge of the TV is not made that well. If you push down on the top, it moves the picture, easy solution - dont press on the top of the bezel. The TV does give off a burning plastic smell but...

Very Happy.....with one exception
After much research, shopping, etc....we purchased this TV from Amazon at a fantastic price and are more than satisfied with the television itself. Our only complaint is with the shipping company (Eagle Global). Naturally we were excited and anxious once we ordered, so we began using the Amazon tracking feature frequently to see exactly where our TV was each day. Unfortunately, because of this, we could see that our television was in the the warehouse just a few miles away from us for almost a w...

Great service from Amazon and Eagle. Horrible product from Samsung.
Bottom line: TV is horribly bowed. 4 different Samsung techs told me there is no cure. I sent it back. If the TV was not bowed, the picture quality would be extrordinary. Alas, it is bowed, making the overall picture quality quite poor.
Amazon and Eagle made the delivery and return process easy.

Samsung DUD - NOT Recommended: Support Sucks
We purchased this TV through Amazon for the in-laws and the in-laws have had nothing but T R O U B L E. The TV spontaneously reboots approximately once every 1.5 hours. The error code in the bottom right hand corner of the screen do not match anything in the product manual. Samsung tech support punts us to Amazon. Amazon tech support punts us to Samsung. WTF? Calls are probably routed to Samsung & Amazon of India.
Tried using the online tech support feature for Samsung. There i...

SCARED OFF BY NEGATIVE REVIEWS
I did not go through with the purchase of this product due to the negativity in the reviews. I felt that I was going to pay more in the long run for the replacement of the bulb. All in all, Amazon was very compassionate during the refund process and very understanding. Do not let this sway you, nothing "electronically" was wrong with the product.

can you say "bow"
As soon as I received this tv, noticed a bowing problem. Had a tech come out, but he really didn't know how to fix it. Called amazon and they are going to pick it up. I am going with the hlt5087s with the led light engine. I beleive the slightly higher cost will be well worth it so I don't have to buy replacement bulbs for the 5076s.

Perfect For My Xbox 360 And HD DVD Player.
I bought this TV with one thing in mind, my Xbox 360. I wanted: HDMI, 1080p, and a Widescreen TV. I got all that and more.
I've had the TV for about a week now, and I have to say the difference between this TV and even my 6 year old HDTV is like night and day. The picture on this TV is so bright and so sharp it's amazing. My gaming and movies look better than ever before, even my girlfriend who could careless about "HD" now hates to watch anything on our "standard def" TV in the be...
