We really like our new HD TV. The picture is great and the screen size is just right for our small family room. We bought it for a very good (discounted) price from Amazon Warehouse. The box was missing 2 small parts- a the ferrite core and the screen cloth. We wrote to Amazon customer service and received a prompt reply. They were unable to send the missing parts, but offered a further discount on the price. We were very satisfied with the service and continue to use Amazon for a variety of purchases.

I purchased this Samsung television through Amazon simply because every purchase made through them, small OR large, is not only easy but I have full confidence that the order will be handled correctly! It is sort-of a "one-stop-does-it" situation and I would HIGHLY recommend this method of purchase to EVERYone!! The television was shipped directly to our daughter in Colorado and although I never saw it, our daughter is VERY happy with it. We have two Samsung televisions ourselves and find them perfect in every way. So "happy shopping" through Amazon!!

Pros: Very good HD picture, easy to set up. Non-HD channels are satisfactory, but not outstanding.
Cons: Tinny sound from speakers on the back of the unit that can be improved somewhat through menu adjustments. External speakers a must if sound is extremely important to you. Best viewed close to head on, as colors fade at sharper angles.
Overall: Very satisfied. Looks great with Blu-ray.

The box arrived much sooner than the delivery schedule stated. I was surprised at the small amount of packing material that surrounded the TV when I unpacked it.
The TV arrived still set in the "SHOP" mode with all sections at their maximum settings. It took around 90 minutes to set up the TV using the onscreen menu for color, sound, channels, etc. I used a guide I found online at a review site for the next larger size Samsung to speed up the process of set-up. Without it to get me in the "ballpark", It probably would have took an hour longer to get it right. I am disappointed with the AUTOSOUND option which states it controls volume at a standard level. This feature is useless when it comes to commericals that literally turn up the volume automatically. The surround sound feature does work reasonably well. The picture is "standard" with receiving signals that are not HD.
I will appreciate the feature of software upgrades to the set as they become available. Maybe they will fix the auto sound problem in the next upgrade. Overall, the great TV for a small display space.

First I will say this is one of the best looking screens I have seen, once configured correctly. It did require some tinkering:
I have read some reviews complaining about the "Made in Mexico" models not having as nice of a picture as the korean models, so I was a bit weary when I received the mexico one. I was a bit disappointed, particularly when hooked up to the PC input with the out of box settings. dull and somewhat muddle looking color. However, a quick adjustment to brightness contrast and color profiles quickly solved this. HDMI by contrast was WAY to bright and sharp on factory settings when hooked up to the PC. (I have not tested this on any bluray players, as I currently use it as a screen for my HTPC.) I had to turn the sharpness down all the way, it just does not work well with PC text and 3d gaming, and brought out too much artifacts in Xvid and mpeg4 encoded media files. Took me roughly 2 weeks of playing with all the settings before I got a truly fantastic picture on this model, which is why i give it 5 stars. Lets just say if you are comparing to in store models, you have not seen anything yet. most stores do not correctly configure the screens before displaying them.
I do not use the sound, however I can testify that it does sound tiny when i tried my PS2 on the component inputs, but most flat panel TVs do not have good sound, so I recommend a good external setup regardless to the TV brand.
