  The company who delivered was very professional. They carried the (heavy) TV where I wanted it in the house and asked me if I wanted it unpacked. I did so they carefully unpacked it, installed the base and carried away all the packing material. I don’t know if this is standard or not. I was expecting them to drop it onto my porch after signing for it, to be honest.br /br /The instuctions were very easy to read but you really don’t even need them. The TV on screen menu takes you through setup and in just a few minutes, I had an excellent picture just through “over the air” channels. After hooking up cable, I couldn’t believe it. I was in TV heaven!br /br /I went with the 720P version of this HDTV after realizing that Blu-Ray and digital TV have a long way to go before the coolest technologies come out to market. Besides, Consumer Reports rated this model at the top of the 720P models available and it’s a Samsung. I figured this would not be my last HDTV so I decided to save some money now. I wanted something that would provide me with an excellent picture up to 1080i while I waited for the HDTV market to mature. br /br /I cannot see what the draw is for re-purchasing all your old movies again in Blu-Ray format when most people wouldn’t even notice the picture difference between 1080i and 1080P. Instead, I decided to up-convert my huge DVD collection (with my $36.00 up-converting DVD player) and wait for Blu-Rays to be available for a buck from Redbox. By that time, the cost of the players should be down to $50.00 or so.br /br /The picture quality is truly remarkable even at 720P. I have friends with 1080P HDTVs and I believe my picture is clearer and brighter than theirs and quite frankly, any TV I have seen. There is a glare issue. You’ll want to install the TV with that in mind but I don’t think the problem is any worse than it was with the old style CRT TVs. You just notice it a bit more because the screen is so much larger.br /br /I can’t speak for reliability because I have only had it a couple of weeks but if it’s anything like all my other Samsung LCD products, I’ll be very happy. So far, all the research indicates they have worked out all the of the problems associated with the original plasma HDTVs. Samsung has a section about this in the user manual in case you want to play it safe.br /br /By all means, buy this product. You won’t be sorry!

  TV is as described by the tons of previous positive reviews. I don’t miss the 1080p one bit at this size. br /br /Best deal out there, hands down…and it took me 3 months of searching.br /The free white glove delivery and set up was icing on the cake. br /br /Thank you Amazon!

  I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. I’ve had the tv for about one month. I love it. The picture is awesome. The controls are simple. The quality seems great. Highly recommend.

  I bought this TV 2 months ago and have to say I made a right choice. At the time when I was looking for 50″ HD TV, I had researched several different and much more expensive Panasonic models. What finally helped me to decide was the visit to the local TV store to see the difference between different sets. Unless you are looking for a TV to brag about how much you have spent, you will never be able to justify to cost difference of $1,000!br /The picture quality will blow your mind and the Blu-Ray pictures will keep you glued to the screen of this TV… :-)br /Last thing is the sound quality that is somewhat average. If you really want a superior sound quality, then this model will not deliver it to you: you will need to buy an extra sound system for the total experience to be perfect. But if you are like me, you would rather spend $1,000 less knowing that you will never be able to see a much of a difference as compared to much more expensive models.
