Great tv, with good picture. Only had it a couple days, but very satisfied. It has a lot of great features, an easy to use menu with tons of options. Very stylish and clean look, easy to set up on initial hook up. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great tv at an excellent price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Looks awesome from even close up (my tv is only 9 feet away), fluid motion without that opera effect. strong colors and good features like alarm clock. Also the sound is strong and clear no need for additional speakers. Video games look Fantastic halo reach looks great and blu-rays look really clear with solid colors. try watching disney cars on blu-ray and you wont be disappointed.The main reason why i chose a 720p TV was because old games and dvd look better in 720p because the image isnt as stretched out as it is on a 1080p tv, also most tv channels are in 1080i not 1080p and most games are 720p (Alan Wake, Fallout 3, Little Big Planet, Far Cry 2) or upscaled like dvds, (Halo). Also the touch of color was a little unwanted but you cant even see it, so im glad i got it.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Poor Quality
on November 25, 2012

Read multiple reviews before buying a Samsung product. This specific TV has a very limited life due to horizontal and vertical lines that appear - and of course, the lines show up after the warranty is over. Many posts online indicate Samsung will do nothing about it. Many posts indicate this is a common problem. ALL electronic products can fail, but when the company turns its back on it, it speaks loudly.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got this tv a year ago and it has developed red and yellow pixels showing up on the left part of the screen. Firmware updates did not fix the problem. It should have lasted longer.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Built-in speakers, Bright display
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations

Black Horizontal Line on Screen just after warranty expired!

As the subject describes. This TV didn't last long. My other review with more detail was not posted by Samsung. Maybe they don't like negative reviews.
Pros: Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, failed just after warranty expired
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

For the price this TV has many useful features and an incredible picture. I had looked at many more expensive models and just didnt see what the money was going for. Very happy with this purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!
