Samsung Rocks this TV

This is my very first HDTV. When I decided to join this century, the first brand I looked at was Samsung. I compared a few other brands with similar features, but Samsung's name, quality & service sold me. I had pretty much already decided on a Samsung, but in order to avoid "buyer's remorse" I had to research others-that's just who I am. I love this TV, the set up was easy, the picture & sound very, very nice. When it comes time to replace other TV's as they die on me, there will be no shopping other than Samsung to get the features I want.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, you don't have to be an electronics whiz to set it
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had Panasonic which had to be returned within a month. Decided to change brands and sizes and per all the information I heard, I decided to buy this HD Tv. I love all the options for sound, screen resolution, etc. It has multiple hdmi ports and a usb port. The only 2 things I would want improved are a flash drive port and internal wireless connection.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great TV

I had been sitting on the fence for some time. I was considering a Vizio and they seemed to offer some features for cheaper. But when I went to the store to compare there really just wasn't anything to consider. The Samsung TV just simply blew away the Vizio. The quality of construction and design the Samsung possesses is far superior to its competition.
The set-up was a breeze and the connectivity of this TV is excellent for my purposes. I had it connected to my home network in minutes. At first, I tried using AllShare which worked fine, though it wouldn't play some formats. I now use Windows Media 12 as a server which is more familiar to me and it plays all the formats I have after a small amount of tweeking.
I had been worried about purchasing a TV with a 60hz refresh rate, but not any longer. It plays games flawlessly on my PS3 and watching blurays is pure bliss. I was also concerned I would need the smart functions of the higher priced models. But again I was surprised how easy it is to network this TV. It streams everything I have from desktops to NAS's. A great relief to me.
So, if you are sitting on the fence regarding a purchase of this TV. Jump off!! You won't be dissapointed. It was the best purchase I had made in years.
I have had many different TVs from Sony, Vizio, Toshiba, and Sanyo all of them have the same problems: horrible viewing angles, picture quality was not the best (the Sony TV had an awesome picture quality) but this TV takes the cake.
