 One of my best purchases ever October 10, 2008
I am not a huge video/electronics aficionado, but I did a fair bit of research and comparison shopping before buying this TV. I could not be happier with it. The picture quality is amazing and the sound is acceptable even without external speakers. The only flaw visible to my not-very-well-trained eyes is that blacks are not always perfectly black.
Happy with this one October 9, 2008
I read the reviews on this page to see if this TV was right for me and I am glad I bought this item. After hooking it up to satellite I was impressed but for grinns I decided to test the TV's tuner with a set of old rabbit ears. I live in a fairly remote area (MT) and can typically pick up about 4 channels so I wasn't too hopeful. It detected 10 which I figured would be snowy and unwatchable and I was right about 6 of them but I was amazed when I found a digital feed. I cant believe the HD picture of the broadcast channel. This truely is an amazing picture. My inlaws have a 52 inch Sony Bravia with HD Cable and I am sorry but this TV has much truer colors and lifelike picture. They paid over 4000.00 for their sony and I picked this up for 1500.00. I feel like I got a deal. I have a 40" Samsung LCD I bought this spring for 1100.00 and it also picks up the digital feed. Its a 720p and I am impressed with its picture as well. To me Samsung is setting the standard for affordable HDTV's.
I would say if you have reservations about buying a product such as this from the internet don't hesitate. The delivery company estimated the delivery date and beat it by two days. My only complaint is that I didnt order the wall mounting hardware sooner. The TV arrived on Thursday and my mount arrived on Friday. Another issue I had was my wife needed the room painted and rearranged before I mounted it. A small price to pay for getting the TV. Bottomline is extremely happy with this purchase and ease of purchase. I cant wait to get the PS3 to watch Blu ray.
Amazing picture and price! October 6, 2008
This TV exceeds my expectations in every way. I made the purchase based on reviews, both professional and the ones posted here on Amazon.com. After 100 hours of viewing over the last few weeks the picture still stops me in my tracks! HD is stunning and SD content looks pretty good as well (Ammazing for a 50"). The speakers do not sound very robust compared to my big Sony CRT (Exceptional sound for a TV) but I always listen through my AV setup anyway. One last thing...the set looks beautiful even when turned off. Very well designed!
The Free White Glove delivery went great. The TV arrived on time and in perfect condition. In closing, I highly recommend this set!
Glen's TV October 6, 2008
The TV is just what I expected it to be and it is great. This was the lowest price I found and included delivery. The guys making the delivery were impatient to get done in a hurry,which wasn't good, but they did make sure it worked and I understand. I am still very happy with it.
 good price / performance tradeoff October 1, 2008
Pretty good bang for the buck. Good picture and features at a fair price.
