Great TV I am updating this review after one month, as my knowledge about the product has increased. Basically I think it offers one of the best picture quality available at under $1K. The features that in my opinion set this TV appart are: outstanding HD picture and black levels, anti-glare coating, 3 HDMI inputs, great picture adjustment controls and swivel stand. On the minus side, the sound is tiny and the speakers are prone to vibration if you turn the bass higher. It's not a real concern for me, si...

Great picture, but tuner, board does not work I bought this tv on May 8, 2008.When i brought it home and searched for channels, it was not able to auto program any. I exchanged it for a new one. Amazingly, had the same problem. Called up Samsung and was told they could not fix it over the phone and had a nearby repair shop come out and work on it. The repair shop came out to my place (one thing I have found out is Samsung customer support is top notch, wish there TV's would work.) Repair man told me he was replacing at least one main board ...

Great LCD HD display for the price So the masses have spoken (or all 8 or 9 here on Amazon anyway) and let me know how lackluster my initial review was -- hey, I said I'd get to it...so here it is folks. Hope it provides decent information. The bottom line is that you need to go to a local electronics retailer to see/hear any LCD display you're considering before purchasing -- I recommend this highly.
I want to emphasize that you can research a large-screen display purchase for weeks: I got Consumer Reports LCD and Pla...

Excellent TV!! When I first saw this HDTV I was at Best Buy. It stopped me in my tracks because the picture was excellent. There are plenty of inputs to choose from. It also Energy Star compliant which isn't well known. This unit hardly uses any electricity at all when not in use. If you get this tv you will not be disappointed.

720P? More like 1080P! Perfect! Wow! I picked this up from Amazon for $1004 shipped and they threw in a free HD Tivo unit. Doing some creative "man-math", I sold the Tivo and my old 36" Sony Wega XBR for $440.
Net price on this $564!!!
We have it hooked up to a Samsung upconvert DVD player, and I swear it makes my old DVD's look like full HD Blu-Ray!
Very very happy with this set.

Great TV for the Price & Specs as of Now I bought this TV from an another store during a Mother's Day weekend sale and have not regretted it since. Awesome TV for the price. I paid about $50 more, and it works with virtually everything unless you're looking for 1080p with bluray, HDDVD, XBOX 360 or PS3. My Wii looks great on it even though that's only 480p. I have not tried running 1080i through this system yet although other reviews have said it's possible.
Basically, if you're looking for an impressive TV with an affo...

LN40A450 Samsung 40inch LCD HDTV I have had this set for about a month and all seems well. It took the place of a 52 inch Mitsubishi DLP which now sits in my "man cave". This Samsung fits the room much better and the picture appears to be just as good as the Mitsu. Even when the tv set is off it looks good. Easy on screen set up and fine tuning. The remote is easy to use, however I have a harmony 659 controlling my complete home theather. This is a 720p but it looks as good as any 1080p I have seen. My eyes can not pick up any ...

Good value Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great black levels. Great contrast and sharpness. Relatively good speakers. Good menus. Outstanding overall
Cons: The only bad part of this TV I can think of is a slight bit of overscan when using my Xbox 360 connected by component. This is because of the slight aspect difference between the 1366x768 resolution of the TV and the 1280x7...

Just right Great picture quality, decent price, and that's all one really needs to say.
I compared the picture quality with a high-rated sony model and what I like better about the Samsung is the truer-to-life colors. I find the sony skin tones to be more orange and wax-like, while the Samsung just gets it right for my taste.
Way to go.

Great TV I have been looking for an LCD tv for a while. I decided on Samsung after reading Consumer Reports. I thought the 37 inch 720p would be fine for my bedroom. At best buy it was $999 and $858 on amazon; I was going to wait until Amazon had free shipping again. Last weekend I found this TV (40 inch 720p) on sale for $899 at best buy. I didn't even hesitate and brought it home. Set up was simple, the picture is great. I plan to have an HD DVR put in this weekend and can't wait to try it out. ...
