  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.

  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!

  This tv is phenomenal. Excellent picture even in a bright room that gets a lot of sunshine. More than enough inputs. I have it next to another tv and the picture quality and colors are just sooo much better on this Samsung. Can’t comment on the sound quality as I run the sound through a separate tuner. Buy it…it’s amazing and extremely cheap for this size and quality.

  it`s not even 2 years since I bought this tv and it already started crapping out on me, I have been seeing blue patches, pixels moving back and forth on the side of the screen (not a burn in. the patches are moving) definitely killing all the fun and enjoyment. now samsung would charge me $100 bucks just to come and take a look at it, and the technician over the phone said he thinks it could be a defective Plasma screen and would probably be have to replaced with a new one which would cost me a hefty $$$ of course the piece of crap tv is out of warranty and although it`s a defected screen Samsung will do absolutely nothing about the situation unless I pay for it. I have seen a lot of complains over the internet about the same issue on Samsung Plasma`s so I would recommend you to buy LCD, if you set your mind on Plasma then definitely go with some other brand since this Samsung is a huge piece of crap.

  I bought this TV in January and loved it. Eventually I noticed a flickering problem where the screen brightness would flicker up and down. Read about it on the AVS forums and got it fixed through Samsung support. Then I noticed the image retention. If you play any xbox 360 games or watch tv in 4:3 with sidebars it will show up. You can run the screen burn in program that will eventually wipe it off but it always comes back next time you play. Ever play GTA4? See that radar in the bottom left? That is always going to be on your TV after you are done playing. The longer you go without wiping it with the cleaner the longer it will stay on there. If you play video games do yourself a favor and don’t buy this set. I sold mine and am saving for another set preferably LCD. I just wanted to warn people trying to decide which set to buy. Avoid this set.

  We bought this set in April of this year and it has not had any problems. I have kept the settings low and only if it is a very dark picture do we see the green flashies. I can overlook this. We have a PS3 and the Blurays are excellent even though it is not 1080P. All in all it was a very good buy. Would buy a Samsung again.
