Excellent HD picture

The quality of the HD pictures is outstanding. Channels presenting nature and science as well as live sports are fantastic in HD. With the 120 HZ feature motion blur is virtually eliminated. Sound is very good too.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS
on February 23, 2012

A1 picture (after adjustment, as with most any TV) with excellent built in speakers. Even at full volume the speakers are crystal clear. I find a volume level of 60 (1-100) perfect for my movie level taste, and a volume level of 40 for regular TV. On screen menus are simple to navigate through, and the remote control is nicely laid out with back lighting. Bang-for-the-buck with this TV can't be beat for the features/specifications I wanted. It even has picture-in-picture (PIP). Manual picture adjustment options are as extensive as high end units (that's a rarity at this price point) which is very nice for those of us wanting the best picture possible. Also amazingly elegant looks for a TV at this price point. Also love that it comes on a right-left swivel base which a lot of TVs in this price range don't offer. I'm also amazed at how far off on an angle you can be from the screen and still see it clearly! I'll say this, if anyone is sitting at an angle from this TV that they can't see it good enough, then they aren't sitting there to watch TV in the 1st place!!! It's that simple, and I'm not exaggerating. For all practical purposes I have no interest in 3D. But for those who care, the TV is 3D "ready", but does require some other thingy along with the glasses to make it work. The TV does work wonderfully as a computer monitor too. I'm using this TV in conjunction with a Samsung BD-D6500 Blu-ray player (which I also highly recommend after extensive research, in and of itself) which has turned out awesome because right out of the box(es) either remote works with either, and the TV and Blu-ray player automatically work together to show you the movie at it's maximum resolution. Ergo you don't have to change the TV settings manually for best resolution when used with the above mentioned Blu-ray player. NICE!!! The only reasons I can see for spending more money on a TV than this one are that you want: full 3D capability out of the box, you want a larger screen size, or you've bought into hype that won't actually do anything better without spending waaaaaaaaaaaay more money, and even then you'll be lucky if your eyes can even see the difference, and even then only after you've had your whole system professionally tuned for highest picture quality possible. This TV and aforementioned Blu-ray player are my 1st Samsung experiences ever, and so far at least I couldn't be happier!!! BTW, with this TV/Blu-ray combo I never imagined DVDs could look so good! I'm truly amazed. Lastly, the matte screen finish on this TV is wonderful at subduing reflections from lamps and windows and what not compared to high gloss clear screens. On top of that you can adjust overall picture brightness for different levels of light in the room. Couldn't be happier. Fully expect you will be too.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, expensive looking, 4 hdmi ports, almost unlimited connectivity
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the first Flat Screen TV I have ever had and the picture quality is great. There are also a lot of inputs which makes it flexible. Easy to use remote and menu. I hooked it up to a Home Theater PC using HDMI and it worked flawlessly. No problems with resolution or compatibility.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: speakers are not great but not bad.

Samsung D630 TV
on April 3, 2012

This is a review of a samsung 1080p, 120hz, 40 inch model D630 HDTV.
This TV has a beautiful display, and with the added features, you can make each thing you watch to your liking. The blacks are very black, and the colors are extremely vivid. The sound that comes from the speakes was huge surprise, much louder and clearer than any other flat screen I have ever had. It is over all a great TV. I have one and only one complaint. The touch bar at the bottom that allows you to turn the TV on and off, adjust volume and channel, this bar is very hard to use. when standing up looking at it, you have no idea where to touch on it to achieve these functions. You have to get very close to read the features you are trying to use on the touch bar, or even to simply turn the TV off. That is the ONLY thing I would change about this TV.
