Now that I have an HD cable box hooked up, the picture is amazing. I can't believe how much detail I can see. I have not dug into all of the features, but so far, this TV is great and I look forward to watching it. I have to say that my whole experience with purchasing this TV was easy and great. The delivery was complete with in 20 minutes. Sports are not blurry at at, you can see the dirt come up from the ground with football.
I was very impressed by the picture quality. Can not say enough good things.
We do not have cable yet but the TV picks up high Def signals for all the stations that have already gone digital. The picture blows you away. We hooked up the samsung blueray and the picture was even better. Just got my TV, amazon delivered it a week eairly it was sweet. Mounted it ubove fire place so far no problems at all. Great TV very happy with my purchase.
The media server needs a litte work. I have a Synology Media server which does not currently support DNLA, although the samsung is able to read the contents of the server and even list the programs, selecting a program from the list crashes the tv and causes a reboot. Support for x264 media files would be great. Minor irritant which will hopefully be corrected in a future firmware update to one of the products. Currently it plays xvid and avi, std mpeg files fine. The DNLA, not being any kind of standard as of yet is a bit premature, compatibility with earlier file sharing protocols would have been helpful. This is my 5th LCD tv 2nd biggest in my home.
The only thing that's going to make tv more enjoyable after this tv is 3d tv. The picture is fantastic. 2 dimentional tv has pretty much reached it's limit with the advent of the 7 series. All in All, this tv is a must have, it blows away the competition.
Haven't played with all the extra bells and whistles yet. Over a week ahead of schedule. Although a dust magnet, attractive cabinet is a plus. The local BB wants $250 more for a returned open-box set. Sticker on back says MFD: Sep 2008 Wow, now that's new. Was in my living room on the 7th. We like that the 40" size fits right in our entertaiment center with no need to hang up on wall. As does Comcast HD.
No one can beat Amazon. Built-in content is cute and I can see getting some use out of that. 1. Black levels are much better than 120hz Philips model. Can't really see any difference in screen size from older 42" Philips plasma it's replacing. Price keeps dropping like a rock, $60 in less than a week.
Overall we feel we made a good choice with this set. & blu-ray) played via DVI/HDMI hookup with computer look really good. Placed order with Amazon on evening of Oct. DVD's (reg. Delivery guys knew nothing about unpack and test. We accepted it still sealed in carton but are happy to say it has worked well and am quite pleased with purchase.
