Satisfied Samsung User I bought this TV with high expectation and I am still amazed by its quality.
To make the long story short, here are the Pros and Cons from my perspective.
Pros:
1. It's HUGE. Anyone will be impressed by its size. When watching DVDs, you will feel like watching the big screen in a movie theater. The size is overwhelming (in a good way).
2. 1080p. Although it's truely not supported by many of today's programming, it is future-proof. When you get PlaySta...

Best Rear Projection DLP TV you can buy! I spent several months researching the current TV's, plasma, LCD, rear projection (LCOS, DLP, LCD), and even a front projector. And of course, checking out each brand from each type of TV, both online, and in stores. Basically, just trying to find the best price vs. performance and something that would suite my needs.
I needed a BIG screen, over 50", so this ruled out LCD and Plasma since they are WAY too expensive above that size. Then I also needed something looked great for play...

Thrilled!!! Stunned!! Wow, what a TV! Everything in my research told me this was the one to buy. The picture is stunning; the ease of use is fantastic. With my Onkyo HDMI receiver this is heaven! The menu on the TV is brilliant with a feature that maps the whole menu tree in one shot.
I am having some issues getting the closed captions to work with one of my DVR's which is a drag because I have bad hearing. The tech support was not all that helpful but they did try. It may not necessarily be the TV.

W O W, AWESOME, Look Out Sony, Samsung is HERE!! I researched HDTVs very carefully, my final buying choices were this one and a Sony XBR. Boy am I glad I bought the Samsung. This TV is AWESOME!! I never want to cut it off. A big plus for this set is the 2 HDMI inputs. I used one for a DirecTV HD receiver and the other for a Panasonic S97 upconversion DVD player. The picure is truly just outstanding, straight out of the box. I tweaked around with the colors a little, took a little red out but for the most part left the default settings a...

It's Like My Eyes Have Finally Been Opened Holy Crap! I've had an HDTV for seven years (May of 1999) and it was still working fine, but I was tired of not having HDMI (or even DVI) and I knew High Definition technology had moved forward a bit since the late 20th century. But this thing is amazing! I have a Denon 4806 receiver and the DirecTV high definition HDR, so using HDMI is not just possible, but very easy to set up. Watching the HD channels, especially the Discovery and ESPN channels, is truly surreal. My wife and I were watching D...

Oh my heavens Let me first start by saying this tv is an upgrade from my 13inch aiwa, I just bought a new condo and decided to get a good tv. And man is it!
I work for a major cable company, and hooked this bad boy up to my hd dvr, through hdmi, and the picture looks crystal clear! but what i was most amazed at is how good regular television looks as well, this tv does a good job of smothing out the artifacts of standard television. But by far the absolute best use of this tv, is the fact that it is a c...

Finally, after a month of research! I own a Sony 52" that's about 4 or 5 years old. I figured it was time for a new one. After a month of online reviews and research, it came down to the Samsung 61 or the Sony 60. I went to the local stores and looked at the picture qualities and I have to say I've always bought Sony but not this time, the HDTV and 1080p capabilities are top notch but the price is the kicker. No Picture in Picture but I've never used it anyway. I actually measured the screen which is slightly bigger than 61 inc...

Great TV! I bought this TV for my home theater, essentially for watching movies from DVDs. I also bought an upconverting DVD player and I am very satisfied with the quality of the image.
This TV is capable of receiving off-air digital television (DTV), both for standard and hig definition TV. The HDTV reception is very good. Be sure you use the best possible connection from your video sources to this TV for the best possible picture.
The only thing that bothers me (so far...) is...

It's just incredible! This is my first HDTV and I can't imagine a picture on a huge screen that could be any more perfect!

Excellent Choice. Here's some tips. All the other reviews pretty much cover the details about this nice HDTV, so I'll just add a few tips I received so you won't be disappointed when you first hook it up. First thing when you hook it up, don't be disappointed with the picture quality of the non-HDTV channels. It's not your TV. It's the nature of the technology. For the most part, standard definition channels may not appear as clear on your HDTV as they do on your regular TV. Hopefully in the near future, almost all channels will b...
