User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars The right choice
It was a difficult choice between this LCD and the Sony KDL 26M4000. I finally choose the Samsung because the colors were a bit more vibrant and the contrast was better (the TV will be used in a bright, sunny room). Also, the Samsung allows for more picture fine-tuning, if you are so inclined. Lastly, the Samsung was a bit cheaper in price and, at the time I ordered it, was available through Amazon. As usual, Amazon’s service was outstanding. Amazon also allowed for a price match after I purchased it, since the price had dropped.

5 Stars Perfect PS3 Monitor
I chose this unit after months of research seeking the perfect pair for my PS3. I considered Vizio, Sharp, and Sony, but decided in the end that the Samsung had the most features and best connectivity. I am a college student so a larger screen size would not be useful for my needs. I use it in the apartment and my bedroom at home.

This tv is only listed as 1080i but the ps3 supposedly runs in 1080p mode when connected and Blu-Rays play in 1280×1080 @ 24Hz which is the default 1080p setting. This was a fantastic surprise. They say you cannot tell the difference between 1080p and 1080i but next to my roommates Sharp which is only at 1080i, the difference is noticeable. Colors are wonderful. HD really pops. Standard definition looks much better than my roommates Sharp.

The digital tuner also decodes the digital channels on my cable so I can get local channels in HD at no extra cost.

Overall this was one of the best purchases I made. Plenty of connectivity options will leave it useful for years to come.

5 Stars Samsung—excellent picture and sound
The set is everything I could have anticipated. I’m very pleased with the on screen menu and many options it provides with simple instructions.Set-up was simple and straight forward.

5 Stars Great TV!
This is an awesome TV for my uses. It’s the perfect size for my bedroom now, and for my dorm room in a few weeks. The picture quality is amazing when being used with my 360 or with DVDs. Like most of the other reviewers, the weak speakers are my only minor complaint after a little more than a month of use. For the size, price, and quality, this TV is perfect.

5 Stars television
Althought I haven’t watched this TV yet, I have other Samsungs TV’s and love every one of them and everything about them.
