Summary: A fine HDTV with one flaw
Comment: This is an LCD HDTV with an excellent picture and easy to follow instructions describing its many features. I had no difficulty making all the necessary connections including a Blu-Ray disc player. I also connected the TV audio system to my own receiver/amplifier system. My only caveat is directed to those who have MAC computers. I discovered in speaking with a Samsung customer service representative that Samsung HDTVs do not interface with the the Apple operating system. This is important if you intend to down load movies from Netflix.

Summary: Crisp picture out of the box
Comment: I purchased this set after reading the Consumer Reports recommendation, and what impressed me the most was the performance right out of the box. I simply took the TV out, hooked it up and the picture is beautiful. The TV seems to handle motion well, and the HD is perfect.
If I could give it 4.5 stars I would due to the sound. Without a hook-up to a sound system, the sound is hollow at low volume... increasing the volume seems to eliminate the problem...

Summary: TV simply didn't live up to the hype.
Comment: We got this TV as a replacement for our 42" plasma that failed. We were really excited to get an LCD that had great reviews, even though it was a couple of inches smaller. After all, we had read that Samsung is the best.
While we did not have the HDMI issue that many write about, the sound quality on this TV was absolutely horrific. For a TV that many raved about the picture, the sound quality was far less than our 3 year old plasma that had just broken. I realize many people don't buy an LCD for the sound quality (and we do have external speakers), but you should be able to stomach the sound on your TV.
The biggest, most glaring issue with this TV was the picture setting. You have four options total, which should be plenty. But I always like watching the full screen viewing, regardless of it being HD or regular TV. There is no way to stretch regular TV to be full screen unless you want to use the "zoom" mode, which cuts off a good portion of the top and bottom of the picture. It was dismayed to find this basic feature missing from this TV.
After two days, this TV went back in the box and was returned, not because of a defect, but because the sound quality and picture options were not thought through. I am shocked at all of the great reviews on this TV. There are simply better options. We found a 46" Sony Bravia LCD (120 hz) for $50 more and are thrilled.

Comment: The product was delivered and the people doing the delivery took it out of the box and placed it exactly were I wanted it.
I really like this TV. The remote is easy to use. I have an antenna, stereo, VCR, DVR and DVD player attached to this TV. I also loaded some pictures to flash memory stick and the pictures look great.
I am very happy.
