Arrived quickly. Like other plasma TVs, it does generate a fair amount of heat, but in the cold Northeast this time of year, that's a bonus. Great TV. Looks great, wonderful picture (720p is eye-popping), adequate sound from the built-in speakers, swivels generously on the included stand.
Don't freak out about burn ins if that is your main worry, the picture quality is so much better than DLP and LCD in my opinion, it's totally worth it. I ran the wipe out mode while I was at work for 8 1/2 hours and when I came back, there was no burn in. I once left a DVD menu on and fell asleep. I also have HDMI out from my computer to my TV and it looks awesome, never had a problem with burn ins in that area either. I have had this TV since 2007 and I couldn't have made a better choice for me.
Overall, I'd recommend this TV to anyone, honestly. 8 hours later I woke up and was freaking out. The colors are stunning and the audio is great. I did all sorts of research on the internet for weeks before I purchased this TV. The only thing that I didn't take into consideration was the possibility of burn ins.
Occasionally if you have a channel on the logo might appear on the screen slightly when you turn off the tv, but it's nothing to worry about, it goes away, trust me, I watch A TON of tv shows and movies.
I hear a click sound when I turn on, but nothing comes up. Unfortunately, I didnt buy the extended warranty.
I am totally disappointed with purchasing this TV. I called up Samsung also if they can help with my problem.
The charges towards fixing this issue seems to be around 40% of TV cost. But they keep their mouth shout, when I ask why did this fault happen.So Beware of this problem, before buying this TV.
I bought this TV last August from Best Buy and two days before it went off. I even use a surge protector power supply.I used to have TVs lasting more than 20 years, but I am surprised to see this Big Brand TV going off in just one year.
They told the same story what Best Buy told me, that fix up an appointment with technical engineer and I need to bear the whole cost, as I am out of Warranty.
Bumblebee from Transformers blows my mind every time I watch it. It's drastically better than almost every LCD set I've come across that's been below $3,000. I haven't had any problems with my games (all three of the "next gen" systems look and play great on this thing), but I am not as hardcore a gamer as I used to be.Overall, this set is dynamically beautiful, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic picture that will wow you and your friends and family for years to come. Yellow has become my new favorite color, strangely enough, because it looks so bloody brilliant on this set. What IS surprising, though, is just how much more vivid a picture this set has than almost all LCD's and plasmas anywhere remotely in and out of its price range. It's absolutely beautiful.In terms of clarity, it's again a stunning product. I ended up purchasing the Harmony One remote which already has those inputs programmed in.
There's only one button, and you have to cycle through the input types until you reach your desired destination. Sweet.The only other concern I have had is screen burn-in, which has happened on occasion. Same with a close friend of mine who also owns an LCD that cost more than twice as much. Simply put, it's an outstanding HDTV, especially for the price.The color is what strikes me first. In general, plasma tv's produce better color output than LCD's, so that in and of itself isn't really surprising. I never realized how beautiful reds, yellows, blues, and greens were until I got this set.
Blu-Rays shine on this set, and I'm constantly showing off Transformers and Planet Earth to the delight of my friends. I'm fairly mindful of it and whatever burn-in my tv has received has always worn off after an hour or so, but I imagine if you play video games with HUDs on them for many many hours at a time, this could become an issue. I've owned this set for about 10 months now, and it never ceases to amaze me with its picture and ease of use. My dad paid twice as much for his 40" LCD 1080p, and all he does is comment on how pretty my tv looks everytime he comes over. Also, the contrast on this plasma outshines any and all LCD screens I've tried out, too.I can't comment on the sound because I use my surround sound set-up at all times, but the three or four times I've utilized the factory speakers, they've been fine.My only major gripe is that the factory remote doesn't have preset buttons for each of the input selections.
I wish there were more HD channels to display on this great TV. When we first plugged in the TV, I thought I did something wrong because the picture didn't take up the entire screen area. After reviewing many TVs, I decided to go with this one. I've had it for 4 months now and love it.One bit of advice for those about to break into the HD world. What I found out later is that non-HD channels only display in a portion of the screen.
