- Good tv right before it completely broke
After reading all the reviews we bought this tv for $1000 in Aug07. Worked great (except for a few HDMI issues with Time Warner's DVR) - nice picture, okay sound, right up until one day, out of the blue the video just stopped. It's never had any damage - never even been moved. TV Repair said the main board was bad - common problem with these tvs. It was 2 years and 2 months from the date we bought it. Samsung was completely unreasonable - asked them just to cover the parts and we would pay the labor as this is a known problem - no luck.

Good tv but very bad reliability. I wouldn't buy one unless you have a 5+ year warranty.

- I severely damaged my hand during installation, BE CAREFUL!
I bought this TV for my mother as a holiday gift. She is 67 years old and needed assistance in setting it up; to which I was much obliged to do. While I was lowering the TV onto the stand the TV slipped off of the stand and very nearly sliced open my finger to the bone. Suffice to say it ruined our holiday, and I guarantee that if my hand met such a misfortune that there are other people that have suffered my same fate.

The back of the TV has a thin steel frame that hugs the top part of the mounting, the steel is so thin that if it is dropped on your hand be prepared for instant gouging.

It is a good TV as far as the picture, however the unit itself was not designed with safety in mind. I have a 52 inch LCD Sony Bravia that was lighter to carry and easier to lower onto the stand, and has a better picture.

I am hoping that my finger heals quickly; for those with the spirit of adventure feel free to look at the photos of my incident. Best of luck to all!

- Great TV
Have had it about a year with no problems. I'm not a huge TV buff, but i think the picture and sound are great! The only thing i can think of that i don't like is the response time for changing channels with the remote. Small issue i know. Otherwise i am very happy with it!

- No regrets!
This TV is awesome! I've never had any problems with it and the picture it delivers is flawless! I have played DVD's on it, watched HDTV with an antenna, and play computer games with it and it work great for each scenario. I have recommended this TV to everyone I know. I did a lot of research before I purchased this TV because I did not know if I wanted to get this one or a Sony. But I have no regrets now that I have bought this one!

- Great TV
I have owned this tv for over half a year and I love the set. The picture is second to none and the quality of the product is great. The only thing that I have an issue with is the remote that comes with the tv. It does not allow me to control my TIVO dvr and there are certain functions that I am unable to perform when controlling my digital cable box. However, I would buy this tv over any other that I have experienced, it continually impresses me.
