This is out third LCD tv from Samsung that we ordered and we are very happy with it. We love the sleek black design and easy to swivel stand. Putting it together was a breeze and it was working within 10 minutes.

We have a set in Samsung's Touch of Red line which has a constant blue light under the center of the tv that could be annoying - this set has the same blue light when it first turns on and off and that's it. Yeah. This tv has a swivel stand with fluid movement and works great! I can now watch tv from the kitchen with just a slight push to get the perfect angle for viewing. The picture is super crisp and clear with the HD cable box provided at an extra cost by my cable provider and great viewing even without the HD cable service.

We considered a Vizio based on great reviews, cheap prices and it being touted as the #1 seller of flat screens but found that the quality was not as good. I also like the amount of control Samsung provides over the tv settings. Another huge plus is the Samsung service, they stand behind their brand and their customer service is outstanding. I love getting a live person to help with any issue or questions. I dare you to find that with other brands.

The only drawback (and lack of five stars) is the tv controller. This tv controller does not work as well as I would like: it needs to be pointed directly at the bottom right of my tv (the infra red spot) in order for it to work properly and you need to really press down on the buttons for it to work. Yuck! I think they went a little too cheap on the controller.

Awesome - Converted Fan of HDTV -
I didn't realize how archaic the picture on my old TV was until I purchased this Samsung HD. The picture quality is amazing with a standard over the air TV signal. I would highly recommend this product to others.


First LCD TV and I love it. - Misoluv - Portland, OR
I spent a lot of time looking at TV's in the 40" range and love this one so far. It's only been a month but I can't say enough about the picture quality. I debated for a while about it being 120Hz and am glad I didn't pay more for 240Hz. I haven't done a side by side comparison, but this one works great for me.
