It seems almost pointless to add my 2 cents to all the positive reviews for this Samsung, so I will be brief. I have owned several HDTV's both LCD and plasma. from Amazon.com I researched the heck out of my first flat screen TV and after reading all the glowing reviews of this set, I bought it. I have to say, this TV has absolutely superb image quality, even in bright light. from Amazon.com Great TV!!DVDs look AMAZING. Works out of the box. from Amazon.com As most of all of you I have looked at many Flat Screens. This is the best picture for the money that I have found under $2000. The LG plasmas are very good but to me they are more forgiving on regular tv and not quite as good as the samsung on HDTV signals. from Amazon.com The picture on this TV is incredible . I'm using all factory default picture settings and could not be happier. from Amazon.com Ive only had it 4 days but it worked flawlessly right out of the box, I'm in the video production business, and will use it to play back edited programs as well as viewing cable programming ... Ive not seen anything better - Five stars barely covers the overall rating for the price and quality for this well built unit. from Amazon.com If you are looking for a 42 inch TV, run, don't walk to get this one. $600 bucks for this beauty is one of the best deals out there. from Amazon.com I researched TV's online for a long time and held off waiting to buy a flatscreen for prices to drop. Got this one for $700 in March and I havent looked back. from Amazon.com I'm perfectly happy with this great TV after using it for 6 months. The 720 resolution is fine in this size and the color depth is far better than any LCD I've seen. from Amazon.com I received this TV yesterday, and my initial impressions are all very positive. This TV is a great value, with a picture that is as good as or better than sets $200-$300 more expensive. from Amazon.com
