Summary: Awesome TV
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great tv but picture in picture not what it should be
Comment: I have had the tv for a week now and love it. Great screen and a great look. The weight isn't bad on the tv either. For such a big screen I was able to heft the thing out of the van and up into the house. The problem comes with the picture in picture option. You can only get the tv signal to be in the sub picture and you are not able to get any sound out of the sub picture. I play video games online and I was looking for a tv that would allow me to play the game and then find something to busy myself during the load times, lobbies, and those rare occasions where I am dead... watching your teammates for 5 min can get real boring. All in all I am pleased with the tv and it is a great value for a 46 inch screen... by the way 46 is a huge number... you don't realize how big till you get it home.

Summary: GREAT VIEWING
Comment: AMAZON WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY WAS GREAT. THEY DELIVERED IN 6 DAYS UNPACKED AND PUT IT ON THE CABINET, AFTER RUNNING THE PLUG AND PLAY SETUP I WAS WATCHING A GREAT PICTURE. I DID FOLLOW THE SUGGESTIONS MADE TO IMPROVER THE SOUND BY PROGRAMMING THE SETTINGS AND WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE IMPROVEMENT.

Summary: Bought used and love it
Comment: I got this TV used, or "open box," from Amazon Warehouse Deals. When I was considering buying this used, I couldn't find any reviews that told me anything about experiences with the Warehouse, so here's mine:
The description said "cosmetic damages." There are some scuff marks on the front that I didn't notice for the first few days, but nothing on the screen. Otherwise, the TV is in perfect shape and, actually, the scuff marks are really hard to see.
I'm glad I took the risk and saved a couple hundred bucks. I still got the "white glove" delivery service, so the TV was plugged in, set up, and tested in my living room by the delivery guy to make sure I was happy with it. The Samsung warrantee still covers the TV if i ever have any problems with it. I now check Amazon Warehouse Deals whenever I'm buying expensive electronics.
Now, on to the TV: You've heard the same things in other reviews. The picture is excellent. The image controls are very powerful. But the audio sucks. There's no bass. I watched Iron Man and Transformers and the lack of "oomf" to explosions and such was very noticeable. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

Summary: Priceless Purchase
Comment: I had taken two years shopping around for the right TV with everything necessary for the next wave of technology, and this model was at the top of my list for awhile until DTV was announced for February 2009. I compared this model to other brands in the same size, and I compared this brand between the different sizes. This is a great all-in-one, and I would say the best year of production for this model. I love LOVE love this TV with its crisp picture, various inputs, and ease in control. It's extremely lightweight, and I would definitely recommend getting this size if you can afford it. I wouldn't trade this birthday purchase for anything else so get it while you still can!
