Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery October 27, 2008
James A. Morgan (Portland, OR)
If you look at the new Sony XBR8 you will find all the features of the Samsung LN-T4681F imitated for three times the current price of the Samsung. Sony has not only copied the LED back lighting but they also elected to copy the bezel design of the Samsung LN-T4681F. br / br /If you really want the true blacks that an LED back lit set provide the LN-T4681F is an incredible bargain at the current clearance price. While I have only had mine for a month everyone that has seen it has been stunned by the image quality. The ISF certified technician that did the final color calibration after burn-in commented that the 81F was the first LCD set to approach the image quality and black levels of the Pioneer Kuro plasma sets. br / br /The icing on the cake is that the LED back lighting uses considerably less electricity than cold cathode LCD sets and much less than a Pioneer Kuro plasma and the LED's should outlast the TV itself as well. br /
 Outstanding picture reproduction ... at ON-ANGLE viewing September 1, 2008

Great TV with LED backlighting technology. Beautifully designed and executed by Samsung. I applaud their efforts. It's a little surprise to me that off-angle viewing is so inferior to other Samsung LCD series, which used the old fluorescent backlighting. I recently bought two Samsung 7-series sets (52" and 40"), and they look terrific at most viewing angles. For this 81F set, the picture is stunning at direct straight-on viewing, but contrast quickly degrades as viewing angle increases. If you have a viewing room or intend to set up the TV to have a narrow viewing angle, than shop no further--this TV is for you. But if you have a wide room, consider the other Samsung series. Overall, it's an excellent TV.
Love my new HDTV August 9, 2008

I kind of kept my head out of the HDTV market for awhile. I figure the longer you wait, the better technology that you'll get for a lower price. br / br /I unsuspectedly walked into a store and was looking at a few sets. After talking to the salesmen a bit. I compared this set to a few others including a Sony. br / br /The picture quality is stunning. The black levels are drastically improved over the models I've viewed just a year or two ago. High speed motion doesn't seem to show artifacts. The initial release of this set in January, was pretty expensive, but the prices for this set has dropped. The only other strange thing I can note is it doesn't seem to be currently available at Amazon, and Crutchfield had a very good price on this set, but now don't seem to carry it any longer.
Simply stunning July 24, 2008

I have owned this set for about six weeks now, and I love it. The picture is exquisite, and far outpaces the three-year-old Sony VEGA set it replaced (the old set only did 720p, for one thing...). br / br /Good stuff: br / br /This TV is a real conversation starter. It's enormous, and very glossy (both on the screen and the bezel). The gloss makes fingerprints very obvious, and seems to attract dust...so you'll want to do some routine cleaning if you want to keep it looking nice. People sit down in my living room and just stare at the set, even if it's turned off. Some have compared it to the monolith in "2001: A Space Odyssey." That's...good, right? br / br /The picture is stunning. The reviews here are right: the LED backlighting really makes things look great, and makes rich black really pop. br / br /I recommend turning off the power-on LED (the little blue bar under the display) using the onscreen menus. When it's on, you can actually see the reflection of the power light on the bezel around the screen, and I found that distracting. Fortunately it's an easy thing to turn off -- and when it's off, the set has ZERO lights aside from the picture when turned on. This is a great feature, as I don't want any little points of light distracting me from the picture! On my old set, there was a little "power on" light that always bugged me. br / br /Tuning between inputs is fast, and makes switching from one input to another no big deal. (On my old set, it took several seconds for each switch, so going through the list felt laborious....) br / br /Be sure to go through the onscreen menus and enable the optional features, particularly the dynamic LED backlighting (some of these features require you to change the picture mode to MOVIE, which I've done on every input...). The default VIVID setting is garish, but it's very easy to switch (and of course the setting is saved, on a per input basis, so it's a one time setup). br / br /Bad stuff: br / br /The three HDMI ports are adequate for me (HD TiVo, AppleTV, and Samsung Blu-ray player), though I wish there were more, and I wish they were all on the back rather than one on the side. As it is I'm using the side port for a Blu-ray player, and having the cable sticking out the side isn't exactly ideal. I still haven't found a decent right-angle adapter. br / br /The speakers aren't great. I guess they're fine for a TV set, but they're nothing to write home about. br / br /The remote is adequate but not great. I wish the backlight extended to more of the buttons. The remote is also rather long. Note that if you have a Samsung Blu-ray player, you can use the Blu-ray remote instead to control most/all of the TV functions...but the Blu-ray remote (at least the one with the BD-1500 series player) isn't backlit. Oh well. br / br /The glossy screen definitely shows light sources in the room: windows, lamps, etc. In many cases you'll want to move stuff around (or simply turn off/block out any light sources) if you're watching anything serious. But I guess that's true of any movie viewing experience. br / br /Anyway, overall I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase. My other candidate was a Sony XBR4 set, but I'm glad I went with the Samsung...it's cheaper, has a better picture, and uses less energy due to the LED backlight. The Sony's design is arguably a little better, and it doesn't have the extreme gloss factor. But for my money, this is the set to get.

THIS TV IS ESPECTACULAR. I'M FROM MEXICO CITY AND HERE, YOU FOUND IT IN $6,200 DOLLARS. SO MY REVIEW INCLUDES THE PRICE. MY ONLY COMPLAIN IS THE REMOTE. I THINK THAT FOR THE PRICE YOU PAID, THE REMOTE MUST BE A LOT BETTER. THE TV IS SIMPLY PERFECT AND THE BEST AVAILABLE, PERIOD (I RESERACH A LOT). BEST OPTION IN DVD, BLU RAY, XBOX 360, PS3 AND EVEN TV SIGNAL. THANKS TO SAMSUNG. I WAITED TO BUY A HDTV FOR A LONG TIME, AND NOW MY PITTSBURGH STEELER'S CRIB IS COMPLETE.
