Rating: - Awesome TV
After looking at many LCD TV's and considering sizes for a couple years, we went with this one and we are glad we did for the price. We originally wanted to get a Sony after all the reviews, but a little to pricey for us at this point. Since I work at Amazon, and have a discount we can use, we started checking out the prices and possibilities there. We were impressed with the prices and options even without the discount. After considering the specs on this product and the price with those specs we went with the Samsung, even though we were worried about the reviews we read about Samsung having the biggest issues with screen reflections from windows and lights. Over the past few months of ownership we have found this TV really has no serious problems with reflections since we have two windows and plenty of light. The picture is awesome. I really enjoy the screen size button on the remote so I can quickly adjust to the best screen size with different cable channels and movies. It has several choices. I like being able to hook up my laptop computer to it as a monitor so I can watch videos off the internet from Amazon's Video on Demand, Hulu, Netflix, etc. for larger picture and sound to run through our stereo receiver. We will eventually have a Computer Media Center for the TV to do the same thing. The remote is easy to use and to understand. I will agree with others that reviewed this product that the sound directly from the TV is not that great, but they are just TV speakers. The TV was created I think for a home theater situation, which is what we have. We have moved to a smaller place and downsized from a Sony 61" projection big screen TV to this. Big change, but our living room is a third the size of our previous TV room. We love the TV and the picture, especially on HD channels.
