I researched TV's on Consumer Reports and they rated this as a good TV. I think they under rated it, it's an excellent TV

I've had this TV for less then 2 months and I'm already having issues. When you turn it on the picture will show up then a few seconds later will go away. I've tried new HDMI cables and when they are unplugged it says no signal so thats not the problem. Sometimes when you turn the power on it doesn't have a picture at all. Once you've unplugged the power or wiggled the cables the red light will show back up and you can turn the TV on and maybe get a picture. The problem is not constant but it is very annoying. I've already had to contact Samsung and I'm waiting on a repair person to show up. br / br /What a joke. I was given a service center to work with and they refuse to do any work for Samsung because they have an issue with parts or getting paid. br / br /I called Samsung again this time they gave me another service center. this service center only repairs TV's purchased from them. br / br /I called again and was told they would call me in 2 to 3 days and try to find me a service center. br / br /10/10/08 : Well I still have no TV. Samsung has never called back. I called them and was told to call back Monday morning and they would start working on a exchange for a new TV. When I called back and was put on hold for almost 30 minuts with Executive Customer Relations I was told an exchange is not an option. They have to fix the TV but they don't have a service center where I live that will work on it. br / br /I will never in my life purchase anything Samsung again. I had heard such wonderful things about this company and they have failed me badly. br /

....happy with the set, good value, good picture with plenty of control. Sound is good not great, can be customized pretty well, best with externals of course....not a gamer, no blu-ray content, so 720p is fine. Refresh rate is good at 8 ft. viewing distance. Was delivered DHL, no problems, fast......excellent for the money. Wil probably upgrade in 3 to 5 years.....
It's just GREAT August 26, 2008

I'm not the biggest TV fan, but this Samsung, as well as its little brother, the 32" version, just mesmerizes me. I can't speak to the technical specs of this TV. All I can say is that the colors just explode on the screen and I can watch it without glasses!
