Great features for the price
By S. Taylor
We researched HDTVs for a month on the net and in stores, and went with Samsung due to the high degree of customer satisfaction expressed in reviews like this one. We don't watch broadcast television, we got it just for DVDs. If you are a sports fan, or plan to be the first on your block with Blu-Ray, you might want to consider going for a higher end model with 1080p, but this TV is terrific for movies. The aspect ratio and size is a welcome step up from our old 35", and the features and connectivity are understandable and convenient. We've had the TV for a month, and our unit has performed flawlessly. One of our concerns was possible fan or color wheel noise, but only if your ear is close to the TV (and everything else is off) is the fan detectable. The brightness and contrast are excellent, and the color rendition was natural right out of the box. The sound is unexpectedly good, we haven't bothered to hook it up to an amp. Can't think of anything bad to say about this TV! Check it out!

Trust your judgement
By P. Masini
I'm the kind of consumer who doesn't mind waiting an extra week or even an extra month in order to get MY price. I read every opinion, shopped lots of locations, both on and off the internet and ultimately decided upon the 56" Samsung. I must admit that I was quite skeptical at first of making such a large purchase on-line and having to deal with whatever nightmare might arise from it. I can honestly say that after just three short days, my breathing has become as steady and clear as the picture on this incredible television. This is quite a unit. Very simple instructions walk you through the installation. It virtually took just minutes to complete. I do plan, as I'm sure most of the PROS will tell you, on "tweaking" with the many adjustments that are offered on this set. But right out of the box, it looks watchable to me. If you're worried about the perfect green and/or the absolute flawless of contrast, you have it all at your fingertips of a rather functional remote control. I plugged in three different colored component video lines, poked the cord into the wall and VOILA . . . high definition television. Bay Area delivery was handled by Eagle Logistics. I simply recorded the tracking number which Amazon provided and kept in close phone contact with the shipper. Once the shipment hit ground at SFO, I called and asked for dispatch, booked a convenient three hour window and happily received a dent free box of television. I am VERY satisfied with the results and happy to share this experience with you. Go ahead . . . . . trust YOUR judgement !!!

By K. Spidle
I have had this TV for nearly two months. The picture on most programming is really nice but on some shows it has lines and/or pixels; not sure if it is my signal or the TV, I have comcast HD; which the HD channels are great. I have in the past had a 50" plasma (which I returned due to a humming noise that couldn't be fixed) and a 50" Sony LCD projection (which I lost due to a flood; it worked excellent for the two years I had it). The plasma definetly had a better pictures for contrast and brightness; if you can live with a humming and the fact that they typically break more.I had considered the 1080p version however since there are almost no signals out there that are that high of resolution; whats the point.I also have a 32" LCD tv and in my opinion it has the best picture compared to plasma; DLP and LCD projection. In hindsight I might buy a 40" LCD and live with a smaller picture.this TV is easy to operate and has ample inputs.The problem I have had with the Smasung was the remote only worked from 3-4 feet from the TV; not very convient if you sit 12 feet from it. Samsung sent out a repair man and aparently it was just a little peice of plastic that was not removed during manufacturing was blocking the signal.I buy a lot from Amazon however I bought this from Butterfly Photo with a three year warranty and bulb replacement plan for $2080 including tax, and shipping. Their warranty kept coming down in price as I told them I didn't want it.In all for large TV's I would reccomend this TV or the Sony.
