Made the leap to HDTV After several years of watching our old Sony 27" TV deteriorate, we decided take a risk and spend what seemed like an outrageous sum to buy this TV. It was definitely the way to go -- great value for the money and it is cool that we are ready whenever the cable/braodcast world goes HD. The color is brilliant, features are extensive (a little confusing at first) -- sound is good even when not using our 5.1 DTS. There is a very explicit warning about "burn-in" from channel logos, tickers, freez...

The right one! While researching HDTV I leaned that Samsung is IT. This HDTV is all that I was hoping for. Take your favorite movie off the self, get 40 minutes into it you will know why you spent the money to have this HDTV. I also got the Samsung DVD HD950 as a companion DVD player. My Xbox looks great on this TV ,I guess the bottom line for me is I have never seen anyone have a HDTV set up that compares to this. Eagle shipping dropped the ball and I had to go and pick up my HDTV from the distribution center...

Great TV at a Great Price My wife and I were looking for a large TV to occupy some serious wall space and were directed by friends to look at DLP for the "long term" benefit. After being warned by several about the dangers of plasma burn-in, and the gaudiness of the old-school rear projection TV, we did some independent research and a lot of store viewings.
1. DLP is crummy from any angle other than directly in front. The bulbs range in time from several hundred hours to a couple thousand - which means th...

Just awesome. It took me a long time to settle on this TV, but after a few weeks with it, I'm very glad I did. The picture is incredible, it has all the imputs you'll ever need on the back, and it has great menu and settings adjustments. DVDs look great (using component video cable) and HD broadcasts are jaw-dropping (bringing in FREE over-the-air HD with a regular UHF antenna). This TV is just awesome. The built in speakers are great for regular TV, but for movies or some of the better HD shows you'll d...

Lots of research ended with Samsung I spent many hours over the course of many days educating myself on what all of the acronyms meant. In the end, I liked Samsung, Sharp, and Panasonic. Decided to go with the Samsung model because of it being computer ready (having a computer monitor input on the back). Also, it had the best value for the quality. I have had it a few days now and can hardly believe the picture. I had a 27 inch panasonic for 16 years (used to be considered a large tv) that had seen better days. I hope this s...

Fantastic After spending almost a year looking at LCD, DLP, plasma EDTV and plasma HDTV and becoming known on a first name basis at Circuit City and Best Buy, I decided that the Samsung had the best picture and value. It arrived yesterday and I am amazed at the picture - at this point a standard digital picture. The cable company will be here later in the week to switch out my box for an HD box. (no charge for basic HD package) I can hardly wait to look at that. The picture is "much" better than any "p...

Everything I could have asked for First let me say that Amazon provided a great experience for this purchase. My TV was delivered 2 days after my order was placed and the delivery company was courteous and competent. They unpacked the item, brought it to the room and tested it for basic function (power, menu, etc.).
The TV itself is awesome. Colors are accurate (I get no sense I need to adjust them), and the screen is sharp and bright. It took a bit of time to set up inputs, but I was up-and-running in less than 1/2 h...

Dissapointed I purchased the Samsung HPR4252 after allot of online research and reviewing. I also currently own a Panasonic '42 plasma. The first Samsung ordered and received was defective out of the box and since I ordered it through Amazon they were un-willing to replace it or provide a refund do to their policy (make sure you read the return policy). The second one I ordered was from another supplier who gave a 30 day unconditional replacement if the unit proved to be defective. For anything over 27 i...

Nice TV, but faulty, and terrible service. I bought myself a Samsung 42" HD plasma last year, and was very happy with it for the first few months. Then after about six months a row of pixels from the top of the screen down to the centre failed, not showing all of the colours. On an orange background, for instance, they showed up as a bright green line. I contacted my nearest service rep here in Sydney, and it took over TWO MONTHS for them to receive a replacement screen from Samsung. When it finally arrived the new screen now has THR...
