High quality TV for a great price August 15, 2008

I needed a flatscreen to go above my fireplace in a fairly sunny room. It also had to be 120Hz as I watch a lot of sport. I can say that this TV is really incredible, especially when you consider the price. I read "techie" reviews at AVSforum and was impressed. Hockey seems to benefit the most from 120Hz with the fast player movement, fast camera panning, and tiny puck. Turning 120Hz (clearframe) off really makes you realize the difference. The colors are great, bright without being too unrealistic. The sound is good enough. I recommend turning the bass boost to medium to reduce some occasional distortion. Although it has a glossy frame, its thin, so isn't too distracting. The IR passthrough feature is great - I have the TV above the fireplace, and the A/V components off to the side out of view. The only negative thing I've found so far is the time it takes the TV to readjust after changing channels (using an HD satellite box...it takes a couple of seconds to change channels). However, I am not sure if this is the TV's fault or the satellite receiver. I've had the TV for several months and am still impressed every time I turn it on.

Okay, this would easily be a five star review if not for two things, but related to Samsung. First, the samsung LCD TV, anyone that goes to HH Gregg, Fry's or Best Buy and see's the 120 Hz picture on a samsung realizes that the picture doesn't look like a movie, it looks like a documentary or re-enactment of the movie (incredible) the Toshiba's picture is incredible, fluid, smooth, real color...but not that samsung picture, upsetting but I can live with it, the picture is really amazing. Strike two, and the big one! My Samsung home theatre in a box system ht-x75, long story short, the system didn't pass through, and the TV would not recognize my blue ray player when I hooked it through the Audio system. As much as I love this TV, that did it for me, it's going back...now if you have a regualar receiver, you should be fine, and you will love this television, but in my case, I have to take the one star off cause it did not meet my standards.
A Great Buy June 19, 2008

This is my family's first HDTV. It is simple to set up. The controler for this television is simple to use and easy to program with other devices hooked up to the television such as satalite recievers, dvd, and vcr players. The picture quality is amazing, but anything is better than our old television with lines running down the screen. It is also a great buy for the price too.
Beautiful and inexpensive June 4, 2008

For the money, I think it would be very hard to beat this TV. It's as clear as any other I've seen in the stores, and it doesn't jitter!!!! I really like this TV. I don't love it, I think that's a bit much to say about any electronic device, but I REALLY like it! :)
