 Great TV August 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I;m giving this a 5 star rating as it's easily the best TV I've owned.
My previous TV's have been 32 CRT affairs.
I've always been a fan of CTR as the picture is much sharper/brighter, response times faster, no fear of screen burn in ( which can occur with LCD and Plasma, nut just when gaming - but due to all the static logo's you get on every channel these days)
Plumped for LCD in the end, as a 40 inch CRT is well..not exactly practical due to the depth!
Choose this Samsung over others due to the high contrast ratio, sleek design, reasonable power consumption (166W) and more importantly the picture.
I had a good play in a high street store with the settings and my own DVD! and was very impressed. They even had a standard analogue source available and even with that it was a great picture.
Amazon of course had this product at the best price, and could guarantee when it would be delivered for just 7.95. Naturally it arrived within the window specified.
The sound isn't that bad, the bass is a little lacking which is expected with the built in slim line speakers, yet there is still surprising depth and surround effect.
Only problem I've had so far is none of the Samsung codes seem to work with the sky remote, and also another all in remote I have as well. Tried learning them, but it's not playing ball. so for the time being stuck to using two remotes.
Damn fine tv...

I got this set via Amazon prime with the discounted stand and wall bracket.
I did quite a bit of research before purchase and looked at a number of TVs in shops before making my choice. There is so much choice and so much data to compare the decision was not easy but I have had Samsung before and never had a problem. One shop was selling this exact same model for 300 more than I paid!
For me this TV hits the sweetspot between price/brand/quality. In store I compared it directly against Sonys, Panasonics and others and this set not only looks better stylistically but performs better as well.
As other reviewers have commented, the sound is probably average to good but the screen is awesome. The olympics look great on BBC HD!
The 6/7 series (this is a 5 series) are supposed to be better but I could not see a huge difference and bearing in mind the shelf life of TVs these days and the pace of innovation I see no reason to pay any more than this. It has all the connections you will ever need and Full HD resolution.
Faultless for the money June 18, 2008

Purchased this tv a few days ago for 600 delivered after much research.
I am currently using the built in freeview (just moved house and only have an aerial in the loft at present).
I have to agree that the picture out of the box isn't great, but I had no problems finding picture settings on a few forums - 5 minutes to put them in and the picture is perfect, and thats on SD.
I'm waiting on a new HDMI cable and a freesat box coming through so that I can hook up my PS3 and check out the HD.
I haven't really noticed a major problem with the sound, but then I haven't really watched that much on it as yet, but I would imagine that most people would use a 5.1 theatre system anyway.
Overall, I think it is a great looking tv for the money.

This television offers me everything I was looking for .. and more!
Apart from the beautiful FULL HD display and the bright 30000:1 contrast ratio, it has some other features such as PIP and a powerful built in Freeview receiver.
The icing on the cake was the Wiselink USB port which allows me to directly connect my camera and usb stick to access music and mp3z.
Amazon's PRIME delivery was excellent - I got my tv within a day. I ordered on Friday at 2pm and it was delivered to me next morning at 7am!
 AMAZING TV FOR THE PRICE June 4, 2008

I was fortunate enough to pick up this tv for an unbelievable 599 elsewhere and it is an absolute bargain.
Setup was very easy,however the out-of-the-box factory presets across all three modes are NOT good.Luckily,Samsung have provided more picture tweak options than you can poke a stick at,so you'll have little problem finding something to suit your particular preference.If you get stuck then a quick search on one of the AV forums should sort you out.
One word of warning...this tv has easily the worst sound I've heard on any tv EVER (which is the reason for 4 stars only).
The picture quality on both analogue and Freeview digital is surprisingly very good and the blacks are nice and deep.Even in dark scenes there is a lot less crushing of shadow detail than several other top end lcds I've seen.
It doesn't have the 100 hz facility of it's more expensive sibling,the A656,but this is hardly a problem as the overall images really are quite stunning (once correctly calibrated).This is especially so when hooked up to an upscaling dvd player via the HDMI connection.It has brought a whole new lease of life to my standard def. dvd collection!
The tv comes with a shiny black frame and matt black panel which really helps keep nasty screen reflections to a bare minimum,although it is a bit of a dust magnet.
Highly recommended.
