i hooked it up to my samsung blu-ray bd-p4600 makes all my blu-ray movies come to life even my 'old' dvd's look better then ever.
we got a samsung blu ray player with it and were blown away by the depth of picture and normal dvd's work just fine in it.
it puts movie theaters to near shame!
i have had a high def by sharp for several years and this set blows it away.
what's great about it:?ease of use; beautiful picture quality; beautiful touch of color with stand what's not so great:?bit pricy for the screen size!
it really shines when watching sports.
what's great about it:?the picture is clear, sharp and the 240 hz!
what's great about it:?easy setup, great clarity and awesome picture what's not so great:?nothing yet "my journey that finally brought me to the xbr9 started with the xbr6.
it has an amazing picture and puts out good sound (until i get my surround sound hooked up).
easy set up
what's great about it:?the picture is the best i've ever seen what's not so great:?the sound seems like it is coming from a box behind the television.
still an lcd tv it just uses led for a backlight which seams to be very misleading as they say nothing about lcd even in the manual.uneven backlight, really noticable on anamorphic widescreen movies.
: this led tv will require you to watch every movie sitting in your closet that you had before...again.much more can be said about this tv, i feel i have barely scratched the surface of describing it.
i hooked it up to a pioneer elite hdmi receiver and boston acoustic speakers and this baby makes home theater a superior option than going to the movies.
what's great about it:?super clear picture, deep blacks, stylish super-thin design, nice, intuitive interface and setup what's not so great:?sound is below average "did a lot of research for a new
i've had this television for a week and have watched both movies and hd tv with it.
watch it in movie mode.
sports and most tv shows look fine with it on, although i suggest turning it off with movies.
that's fine for sports or documentaries like "planet earth", but i find it really distracting for a movie (on dvd or tv).
the television has excellent picture quality and the television itself improves the aesthetic of your living room.
what's great about it:?price, sound, set up what's not so great:?not as bright as i would like "this is my first television at a price that i other wise would have not been able to afford.
the color on this set is gorgeous and it's nice and big so i feel like looking at a movie screen instead of a tv screen (it's in my bedroom.) the frame around it is also very pretty, shiny black.
what's great about it:?picture quality is amazing.
what's great about it:?easy to set up, great price, picture and sound are great.
what's great about it:?great looking picture and the speakers sound better than i expected what's not so great:?there is no pc port.
i just had this product this week and my kids said "its like being there in the movie-watching it live." i am still learning the rest of the features.
the image, the desing, the sound, the friendly of the instruction it like magic in this product
the installation process went without a hitch and when all was said and done the unit itself is an excellent and suburb product.
secondly, it converts movies to match the film standard of 24 frames a second so there is little or no motion blur.
the picture and sound quality are superb for both hd and sd programs and the multiple hdmi and component inputs made it easy to hook up hd cable, dvd-r and computer and still have room to add blu-ray
after playing around a bit i decided to hook up my dvd player to check out the picture on 480i.......it was better than my old lcd's picture at 1080i.
an otherwise spot on, accurately calibrated mode that is very good for blu-ray or dvd viewing at night..i personally use the custom mode for almost every type of viewing and find it better than
the set's 42" size makes it manageable, and set-up being very easy as well.
i've been into widescreen tvs ever since dvd kicked off, including isf calibrations, and our main "movie room" has a 52 inch sony xbr4.
we have the set in a room that is somewhat dark, and the picture quality is superb in every regard!
what's great about it:?easy setup, lightweight, excellent picture quality what's not so great:?sound quality definitely not the best "my 42in tube television finally kicked the bucket on me.
the picture quality is great, the sound is good, and i love the ability to plug a computer into it.
what's great about it:?good price, great picture quality what's not so great:?original sound must be adjusted "if not on hd channel turn off the vivid coloring bright colors get a little distorted,
but other then those 2 issues this tv is great and well worth the extra 5 mins it took to set up the sound and to adjust the coloring.
its pictures are smooth and audio sounds great.
very easy to set up.
$150 more i feel that it was totally worth $699.everything about this tv is great,the image quality,the 4 hdmi ports,it's features,even the speakers.yeah thats right i said the speakers!
what's great about it:?picture is sharp, cabinet looks great, very shinny and rich looking, price what's not so great:?the sound is acceptable at normal levels, bass is not there "after extensive
what's great about it:?picture quality, sound, easy to install what's not so great:?nothing "i purchased it from bestbuy on 06/13,overall i am satisfied with this tv, in comparison with sony.
this is brand new out of the box when i spoted this!
i connected my dvd player using component video and it is of course better than regular tv.
easy to use right out of the box, all i had to do was to attach the stand and plug it in.
the picture is crisp and clear and the colors are vivid.
at $552 it is a pretty good deal for such a high end television.
as advertised, there are lots of a/v ports, the picture quality for tv shows is great at smaller sizes (zoom isn't very crisp), although it's excellent when playing dvds at full screen.
great picture quality.
easy set up.i love how it links to everything i have connected to it.sharp picture.
the speakers are probably the only weak point, but most people hook up to speaker systems anyway.our biggest buying criteria and feedback would be, would we buy it again?
dvd's look great.
sports and action are seamless.
additional thoughtswe thought for $100 more it came with a built in dvd player but only hookup for them.
due to a distance issue, i have not seen it personaly but she says it has a great picture and sound(read a couple of reviews that the sound was less than desired).
i don't know if it is my model - i've heard other reviewers complain about the sound...
although, i don't agree with the previous review that said it sounds like a payphone.
it has great picture and good sound for me.
great picture and easy set-up.
the product was easy to install and set-up.
it is very good for watching blu-ray movies and playing games off ps3.
it was sharp, it was smooth, it was brilliant.
it's got a sleek look and the picture quality is excellent.
i use it to watch movies, cable television, and play video games such as the wii and xbox 360.
this allows for easy hookup of my kids video games and the camcorder.i can't really comment on the sound quality as i use my avr speakers for sound.so far i'm very pleased w/ the product.
it would constantly flicker like a sound of a short-circuit wire on a movie with intense sound like the lord of the rings.
i have watched movies, played my xbox 360 and watched tv on it and all work perfectly.
it has different defaults like "gaming" "sports" "movie"the manual is easy to read, and use.dislikes: slow remote!, sometimes the remote wont respond.heard crackles from speakers, but now are gone.
it looked like they were filming in my living room.
the skull and bones main menu on the pirates 2 bd appears to protrude from the screen as it dares you to watch the movie.
what's great about it:?picture clarity/colors, better speakers, less glare from the screen what's not so great:?difficult to access all the menu features "i went to the store to buy the "highly
what's great about it:?the picture clarity is superb.
what's great about it:?hd picture, menu, inputs, remote, matte screen what's not so great:?sd pictures "this is an excellent tv when paired with a hd signal.
the picture and sound capabilities are surprisingly and pleasingly good for an lcd of this size and price range.
in lcds of this size, sound quality and volume level are criticized as being insufficient; that is not the case with this tv, which boasts adjustments for sound-range- type as well as an equalizer.
the product shipped on time and arrived promptly, without any problems..out of the box plugged in and working just great!
the sound is not terrible like some of the other reviews stated but it could have a little more bottom end to give it a boost.
dvds are excellent.
what's great about it:?outstanding picture quality, especially for the price what's not so great:?nothing "this lcd tv has awesome specs and the picture quality is outstanding.
what's great about it:?really well design , sharp image what's not so great:?nothing i can tink of so far "easy to set up.
this lcd set rivals in features and quality top of the line sony xbr and samsungs 52inch sets, yet it is a 55 inch set.
this set for under $2000 is an incredible value for the quality that it represents.in addition to having incredible picture quality (i don't care about sound because i am using a surround sound
what's great about it:?awesome picture, easy set-up, excellent features!!!
i use it mainly for gaming and movies and games look fantastic from either the 360 or ps3.
this not only makes for a beautiful installation since the tv is almost flush with the wall but it has a security feature making your tv more difficult to steal.
it's very easy to setup.
when i put in a blu-ray, action movie on this set, i am simply blown away.
the picture is so clear and defined that some movies even have a 3-d like quality.
what's great about it:?superb picture quality, fantastic value - **best 26" in its class** what's not so great:?--- "i am convinced that samsung makes the best 26", regardless of value.
i took alittle time to cut the holes in the walls to run all the cables and outlets after that i put up the free wall mount that was supplyed with the tv on the wall and it look and sounds great.
what's great about it:?easy to set up, good price what's not so great:?the res.
