Strengths: High quality picture

Weaknesses: Very delicate

Summary: It took me a while to make up my mind as to what T.V. I wanted, but I finally decided to go with this model. And I have to thank the person from the sales department of Payless Plasma. If not for him I would still be stuck trying to figure out what T.V. I wanted. He simply told me about this T.V. and it?s background and I loved it. This is a great T.V. for anyone looking for a new 42 inch Samsung.

Strengths: Very nice looks, features,and quality.Use often with my computer as a monitor 1920 x 1080

Weaknesses: LCD screen failed

Summary: 2" ribon of static across the TV near the top in all modes, PC, TV, DVD.The static keep growing and the TV has never been left on for long periods of time.It is 1 of 3 TVs but now I prefer my tube TV for reliability.

Strengths: Scaling is superb! No matter the format transmitted this set scales up to 768p or 1080p with ease.This includes standard format DVDs, digital cable (non-HDTV), even VCRs!Picture is excellent.

Weaknesses: Sound is okay, but have a suround sound system to utilize, a bit slow to warmup.

Summary: The price performance ratio for the LNT4665F is exellent! Its performance and features rival Sony at considerably less cost! I sincerely think this is one of the best LCD HDTV's on the market. Connectivity and setup was eazy and hookup to FiOS (Verizon) went smoothly. You really will love this rig!

Strengths: Easy Set-up, picture perfect, colors are amazing,blacks equal any high end plasma other than the top tier plasmas, easy adjustments to suit taste of viewer, lighting conditions and sound.

Weaknesses: Pip feature,still working on connection to use PIP and gaming

Summary: Like most buyers I did a lot of online research, I was set on either Sony LCD or Panasonic Plasma, two companies with quality products which I've owned and never had any problems with,both companies offer great pictures in side by side comparison ,however, Samsung always stood out in the stores,after seeing HDTV pictures of several brands in various homes, I was most impressed with the Samsung pictures. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Also the expert review on reflection of the screen being a problem has little basis in fact, my sunny living room is a non factor with the quality of the picture.

Strengths: Picture looked good the four days it worked!! Still waiting to get it repaired!!

Weaknesses: Samsung does not let you return defective TVs even though mine only ran a total of maybe 8 hours (2 hours each day)!!

Summary: The service center that Samsung deals with in Wisconsin is terrible. The store asks the symptoms then without even looking at the TV states they do not have the part and will have to order it. Takes 5 days to get the part which they only "think" will fix the problem. I got the TV 3 weeks ago today (it was a Friday). It failed (no pictures just lines by Monday). I called Samsung, had to call the repair company and found out they would not get the part until the following Monday. I called the store I bought it from, PC Nations, and the salesperson said I would be able to return the TV since it was only working a few days. I canceled the board I had on order (the repair place said this would not be a problem) and then PC Nations' return department waited a week (I contacted them daily), saying they were working on getting me an RMA. Then they said I could not return it, Samsung makes you get it repaired, but they stated they called the repair company and explained the situation. I called the repair company on Monday and they said they had the part (they did not cancel the order), but no one could come until Thursday (last night). No one came or called and today they called stating the delivery person did not have my paper work (even though I had called the day before to make sure everything was setup). They are suppose to come tomorrow and hopefully they will and the part they bring will fix the TV. This coming Monday it will be 3 weeks since the TV has not worked. So if you do not care if you have a working TV or not, then buy this one!

Strengths: good response time make scene transition very smooth.sound is wonderful and have different selection.easy on-screen menu.easy setup.

Weaknesses: There's a lot of talk about HDMI problems. So far I don't have any problem probably because of the latest firmware and motherboard.

Summary: I bought it from Onecall. Got it within 5 days. Onecall also match lowest price within 7 days. Shipping is free, though I need to set it up myself. Well, I managed that without any help. So far so good, I could not be happier.

Strengths: Excellent picture quality; Very good price

Weaknesses: Shaky HDMI inputs at 1080p; but there's remedy.

Summary: These Samsung's have the best picture we've seen side by side in the showroom and rival those from the Sony's at just 2/3 of the price.When the TV arrived we are not disappoint with the picture and even the built-in sound on the TVs are very decent with good surround effect from just the TV speakers.HD picture quality is execellent with good contrast that make it looks more like plasma. It does have a reflective front surface so if you have a bright light source in front of TV reflection might be a problem.SD sources looks OK in from the built-in tuner. I found that for SD source the picture is much better from our external ReplayTV than the built-in tuner. There are some minor glitches nonetheless. The power button on the 52" would get stuck sometimes when pressed on the side rather than the middle. We didn't arrange for an exchange since we were offered a discount from the seller instead.We bought an Upscaling HDMI DVD player to use with the set. Picture quality does improve quite a bit compared to our component DVD players. However, when running at 1080p, we notice occasionally screen flashes just for fractions of a second and returns to normal. At first we thought the DVD player may be the culprit but exchanging the DVD player yield the same result.In later research we found this to be a common problem in the Samsung, especially for model manufactured in June or earlier. (Ours are from March/April.) There is a fix from Samsung which involve switching a motherboard for HDMI in the set and/or updating firmware in the set. We had not requested the service on the sets yet since the problem are not very frequent and Samsung had come out with newer version of the board every month or 2. We will likely wait till close to end of warranty to request our service so we can just get to the latest board once and be done with.Reminder for owners: register your set online with Samsung and you'll get 15 month warranty instead of 12.

Strengths: Crisp look

Weaknesses: This things flashes green most of the time, pink some of the time and mute itself the rest of the timie

Summary: I don't know what is going on with my TV. The one that I shopped around for 4 months before I bought it. The one that CNET.com said was the best. I use my xbox 360, 360 HD player, watch Discovery HD and watch baseball in HD mainly. When it is working correctly it is the shizznit. However when it is finicky, it drives me nuts. It flashes green, pink, mutes/lose HDCM connection whatever that is. Does anyone else have that? Atleast I'm under warranty and Samsung is going to fix it. They even restarted my warranty at the point I complained.

Strengths: great picture

Weaknesses: none

Summary: After reading a number of reviews and talking to store employees I went with the Samsung. It arrived within a week and fit well in the corner of the room my old armoire sat. The delivery guys even moved the huge armoire into the other room. (I tipped them) We chose a 48 inch tv stand found in a furniture store made in Mexico. The two glass doors seem to interfere with the remote so I need to experiment moving my components around. The picture is great but I think I need to adjust some of the red down a notch. All in all I'm stoked!

Strengths: picture, good features, sound

Weaknesses: none

Summary: i bought the samsung 46" lcd tv. i've owned it for a week. i am very satisfied with the product. it received top scores from consumer reports. the color and blacks are excellent. the reception of digital and analog both are very good. Before i order the T.V. on line. i went into a local store and check it out. There was no other brand (including Sony) can beat Samsung. i would recommend my friends to buy this product.

Strengths: Bright, beautiful picture, lots of different connection options (like all Samsung LCDs). Viewing from an angle is not problem and cheaper than Sharp.

Weaknesses: Remote does not have dedicated buttons for different inputs, which means you have to cycle through them, which can take a while.

Summary: Having recently purchased the Samsung LN-T3253H and been impressed with it, I decided to replace my 5 year old 42" Panasonic 720p Plasma with this model. Although larger than the Panny, it is the same weight and uses less power (up to 50% savings although I think it varies by usage). Upon opening the box I discovered than unlike its 32" brethren, the table mount already came attached. As I was using this unit in a wall mount, I had to remove the screws to the table mount which were in so deep that it was impossible to remove them without flipping over the unit so gravity would help. Like the 32" this came in a glossy black finish which will also be a dust-magnet pain, but it looks really nice, especially paired with my glossy PS3. Unlike the 32" hidden speakers are mounted on the side, rather than the bottom. This makes this unit slightly wider than the 4661 model. I was also not as impressed with the sound compared to the hidden bottom speaker model. Once again this Samsung had both the on/off melody and soft bluelight at bottom, which you can turn off in settings menu. This unit also uses the same remote as the 32" model which means it has the same problem with cycling through inputs. If you are not already familiar with HDMI, it takes a while before a TV recognizes the HDMI input (probably due to HDCP copy protection scheme). With 3 HDMI inputs, this can be a pain. It would have been nice for the remote to have two buttons to cycle through inputs - one for the slow HDMI and the other for everything else. On the 32" model what I was most impressed with was the sharpness of the PC display at native 1366x768. With recommended 1920x1080 resolution on this model I thought it would be something to see. Unfortunately my PC does not output 1920x1080 properly which means I had to downscale my resolution. And PC display in non-native resolution is not that great. But one thing I discovered here is that even if my PC displayed 1920x1080 properly, even with a 46" monitor, the text would be too small to properly see from a distance. Quite frankly I don't see that much difference between 1080i (from my HD cable) and 1080p (from my Sony PS3 Blu-ray) signals and I don't think this unit has a de-interlacer but I'm not sure if all 1080p TVs de-interlace a 1080i signal to 1080p or whether that is an optional thing. Might need a bigger screen to discern the difference.

Strengths: Great picture, 3 HDMI, overall look and design of the TV is great.

Weaknesses: It would be nice if it had a DVI input (have to buy DVI to HDMI). Sound quality and volume could be better.

Summary: This is my first HDTV purchase. I have read everything on this TV I could find, and am very pleased with my purchase. My PC is currently my only 1080p source and it sure makes a beautiful, crisp image. The colors seem to be great (including black), maybe a little bright at times but you can adjust that to your preference. The remote is nice and simple. It does take a few seconds for the screen to power on, and changing channels takes a little more time then I am used to. This product isn't perfect, but its as close as you can get!

Strengths: Beautiful design, high contrast ratio, swivel stand, HDMI 1.3, 1080p/24fps, great color reproduction, etc!

Weaknesses: PIP is limited to antenna(s), jacks could have been placed somewhere better, glossy screen.

Summary: This was the best LCD TV out there at the time I bought it. Great contrast ratio and very accurate color reproduction because of the glossy screen and the wide color-gamut CCFL. A wide host of inputs on including 3 HDMI ports. HDMI 1.3 is supported and allows for 1080p/24fps, which is quite nice. The easy swivel stand is a nice added feature, though I don't use it myself. I only have a few complaints about the TV. First, the PIP can only display a signal from the Coaxial Antennas, so that limits what you can display simultaneously. Secondly, the gloss screen makes for a very nice looking screen and allow for the high contrast ratio and rich color reproduction. However, the glossy screen easily catches glare. Thirdly, I owned a Westinghouse before this TV and though that TV wasn't great, but it did have one great feature I wish Samsung would have put on this TV. On the Westinghouse, the A/V jacks were on a spine behind the TV so if you wall mounted the TV you could see and access the A/V jacks. With the Samsung if you wall mount it you can't see or access the A/V jacks. It's a minor issue but it would have been nice if Samsung would have put more thought into this. Finally, this is a great TV using current technology but if you can wait to buy a TV, the hopefully soon to be released Samsung LNT-4681f, would be a better choice because it uses an LED backlight giving you a significant increase in contrast ratio. Another technology on the horizon that would also be better would be OLED technology which Sony will be deploying in their smaller TV's at the end of the year. OLED allows for better color reproduction and high contrast ration in an EVEN THINNER form factor. With that said, I'd say if you're going to buy a TV today, this is the best one out there right now!

Strengths: style, clearity, easy to install

Weaknesses: so far I've found none

Summary: Before doing much homework I was set on getting the Sony 40" 1080P LCD TV. After seeing side by side comparisons, researching throughout the web and speaking to those "in the know" I was convinced that the Samsung is just as good if not better than the Sony but was about 22% less expensive. Based on the savings I decided to upgrade and go for the 46" Samsung and was very pleased. I ordered thorugh Amazon and there were no problems...everything arrived as quoted.

Strengths: Crystal Picture, Plenty of Inputs, Easy Menu, Sleek Look

Weaknesses: Makes you hate watching any other TV.

Summary: I received my LN-T4665F 2-days ago to be paired with a MythTV box I have been working on since March. I had done my research and really wanted this TV but thought I could only affort the 4661. Found a great deal on it and picked it up. I had heard nightmares about getting LCD TV's to work with Linux based PVR's and was expecting 2-3 weeks of tuning to get it right. I had it out of the box, setup and working in 20-minutes flat. A simple 1-line change to my xorg.conf file (see the NVIDIA Driver ModePool comment on the MythTV Wiki) but enough about that. The TV is very sleek looking, it comes with a microfiber cloth for a reason, I keep it nearby at all times to chase away dust and fingerprints. I read about some clouding issues on AVSForum but have yet to see any problems. I have a Nintendo Wii connected to the component inputs and it's breathtaking. MythTV is running my HD signals and DVD via DVI to HDMI and is running perfectly at 1080p. I watched the Dead Man's Chest Preview in 1080p and was floored by the detail, I suggest this as an excersise for anyone with this TV since it really shows of it's capabilities (your friends will be jealous). I also have my Hughs Directivo hooked up via the composite input which looks less than stunning. I don't believe it's the TV's fault, I am now able to see the compression artifacts from the medium quality setting on the TiVo that I couldn't on my old TV, I will be migrating completely to the MythTV shortly. I could go on and on but after 4-months of research, I knew this was the perfect choice and I am glad it really was.
