 "Great tv but picture in picture not what it should be" | 2008-10-05 |

| I have had the tv for a week now and love it. Great screen and a great look. The weight isn't bad on the tv either. For such a big screen I was able to heft the thing out of the van and up into the house. The problem comes with the picture in picture option. You can only get the tv signal to be in the sub picture and you are not able to get any sound out of the sub picture. I play video games online and I was looking for a tv that would allow me to play the game and then find something to busy myself during the load times, lobbies, and those rare occasions where I am dead... watching your teammates for 5 min can get real boring. All in all I am pleased with the tv and it is a great value for a 46 inch screen... by the way 46 is a huge number... you don't realize how big till you get it home. |

| AMAZON WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY WAS GREAT. THEY DELIVERED IN 6 DAYS UNPACKED AND PUT IT ON THE CABINET, AFTER RUNNING THE PLUG AND PLAY SETUP I WAS WATCHING A GREAT PICTURE. I DID FOLLOW THE SUGGESTIONS MADE TO IMPROVER THE SOUND BY PROGRAMMING THE SETTINGS AND WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE IMPROVEMENT. |

| I got this TV used, or "open box," from Amazon Warehouse Deals. When I was considering buying this used, I couldn't find any reviews that told me anything about experiences with the Warehouse, so here's mine:br /br /The description said "cosmetic damages." There are some scuff marks on the front that I didn't notice for the first few days, but nothing on the screen. Otherwise, the TV is in perfect shape and, actually, the scuff marks are really hard to see.br /br /I'm glad I took the risk and saved a couple hundred bucks. I still got the "white glove" delivery service, so the TV was plugged in, set up, and tested in my living room by the delivery guy to make sure I was happy with it. The Samsung warrantee still covers the TV if i ever have any problems with it. I now check Amazon Warehouse Deals whenever I'm buying expensive electronics.br /br /Now, on to the TV: You've heard the same things in other reviews. The picture is excellent. The image controls are very powerful. But the audio sucks. There's no bass. I watched Iron Man and Transformers and the lack of "oomf" to explosions and such was very noticeable. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. |

| I had taken two years shopping around for the right TV with everything necessary for the next wave of technology, and this model was at the top of my list for awhile until DTV was announced for February 2009. I compared this model to other brands in the same size, and I compared this brand between the different sizes. This is a great all-in-one, and I would say the best year of production for this model. I love LOVE love this TV with its crisp picture, various inputs, and ease in control. It's extremely lightweight, and I would definitely recommend getting this size if you can afford it. I wouldn't trade this birthday purchase for anything else so get it while you still can! |

| I recently purchased this TV from Amazon. The delivery was prompt and at the time specified. The picture quality is stunning when watching HD channels and Blue Ray DVDs. My laptop has a HDMI output, so I am also using this TV as a 46" computer monitor, and it looks amazing. The audio quality is not the best, but its a TV afterall and really didnt mind since the audio goes into my stereo system. Overall I highly recommend this product. |

Excellent picture, good over-the-air receiver, just the right amount of controls. This is our first large TV and we were shocked by the size of the picture in a 14' by 18' room, but in a few days we couldn't turn it off. We have the set on a 16" deep bookshelf. Almost the same as wall-mounted, but moveable and hidden.
Wish it had a quicker way to check upcoming over-the-air shows (channel list,right-click and shows are listed, down-click to a show and press info for information. If you want to check another channel, you must change reception to that channel.)
We temporarily solved the sound problem by connecting audio out to an Ipod player. The sound is much better, but the sound leveling feature is lost. How can a $60 player have better sound than a $1300 TV? |

| I've owned this TV now for about 1 month and I can say that the quality of the HD picture is simply breathtaking. I use the TV with Comcast cable with the HD package and have no complaints at all about the HD picture. Regular cable can sometimes be a little blurry and regardless of the 5ms response rate there will be some motion blur on high speed action especially if the action is shot in a close up mode. That being said, I'm a NASCAR fan and watch racing on this set and could not be happier with the picture. If your looking for an HDTV that has good value and vivid colors and superb HD picture then this is it. |

| I ordered this product after visiting the big box stores as well as doing a bit of research. This was my first big internet purchase. I must say I am pleased with my selection as well as the customer service and delivery! Received free white glove service and I was impressed. Received a call from the delivery company (Ceva) two days before actual delivery and arranged for them to call me 1/2 hour before delivery. They did! Product arrived as described with no visible damage. Picture and HDTV clear and brilliant in color. I have noticed no motion lag times when watching sports but can not give feedback for gaming. Customer Service with Amazon outstanding! Honored thirty day price refund on two occasions.. This was a big selling point as the big box stores are constantly putting these TV's on sale. I would definitely recommend this TV and would purchase through Amazon without hesitation. |

I was initially choosing between the 650 and 750 version. The features didn't seem worth the extra cost. I'm completely happy with this one.
Don't disrespect this TV: Connect either a blu ray player, an upscaling dvd player, or an HD Satelite receiver to this set and it won't disappoint. Two days after I ordered it, the delivery company called to arrange delivery . . . I couldn't wait, I went to pick it up. Kinda wish I had waited on delivery because it was too big to fit in the back seat of my sedan until I unboxed it.
Great picture. Very wide viewing angle. I also bought a Peerless wall mount from Amazon and got it on my bedroom wall . . . SWEET! |

 "Great, if you have an external sound system" | 2008-09-18 |

I gave a lot of weight to Consumers Report when choosing a new TV (my last one got wiped out by lightning that came through the cable , not the electrical connection, which had all kinds of surge suppressors). They said this Samsung had superior sound. Sorta. The background sound and most music is good, but the voice quality 99% of the time is just plain terrible. By far the worst TV sound I've ever experienced. Much worse than on my $119.00 emergency bedroom mono TV, much worse than anything I've ever heard. Sounds a lot like those pull-the-string talking toys.
I e-mailed their Customer Service about this, but never got a reply.
Other than that it's a good TV, but what's the point of having it if you can't understand what people are saying? I hate to use up another 150 watts with my stereo, just so I can understand what's goin'on. |
