 After 6 months of use. August 27, 2008
Neal Ryan Kammeyer (Las Vegas, NV. USA)
I have had the 4069FX for over 6 months now. I have tweeked the settings a little but I find my picture better than anything I am seeing new in stores now. I love the matte finish! It eliminated any glare that may come through the windows or certain lighting. The only thing I could think of changing about the TV is the placement of the speakers. They face downward off the TV. But the sound I get out of them is still superb. I even utilize 900mhz wireless headphones on it and sound remains great! I have an x-box and a wii hooked up to it and all play flawlessly. I keep the 120hz feature off as it makes everything look like a home video. Though I am sure you will find it fun to play with at times!
Anyways, this was a purchase that I have not regretted and I highly recommend it!
 Samsung 4069 an excellent performer (after service issues) August 16, 2008
Joel (Potomac, MD)
Have (mostly) enjoyed the 4069 unit since it arrived last November.
It does take a while - 10 or 15 minutes, it seems - to warm up for best pic quality. But the display is generally excellent, especially on the 16:9 digital channels.
Some of the SD channels tend to the muddy side but we haven't played with setting them up a lot. Also, I recommend leaving the SD 4:3 ratio pictures in their native form. The set will stretch them to 16:9 but the result, for me, is ugly.
Auto-tuning takes too long as others have posted (about 20 minutes). But after it's done, we can receive digital signals via the Comcast cable without a cable box. And, through some quirk of the cable service, we can receive some apparent on-demand or pay per view offerings that neighbors may be subscribing to. How else to explain that certain digital channels are being rewound as we watch them? The movie will get to a certain point, then rewind back to the "good part". There are some rather exotic tastes in the neighborhood. Cable company says it has no idea how this happens and I'm not pursuing it with them.
So far, I don't detect any motion artifacts like ghosting or image trails. The audio is clean and full-sounding.
The bad: shortly after we got it, the set developed an intermittent condition where the left half of the screen was slightly less contrasty than the right half making it appear there was a line down the middle (but there was, in fact, no line). It could be cured by turning off and turning back on. I realized it should be serviced because the condition could only get worse. We called Samsung for warranty service. It took the service company about 10 days to acknowledge the service request (I had to call them to ask when service would be rendered), another few days for the set to be picked up. They held it for more than a month and returned it but the problem had not been repaired. A second service call was arranged and after another month, the set is back, apparently repaired this time. They replaced a "t-com"(sp?) board the first time and the entire LCD panel the second.
What's really scary is that there are no strict guides (at least here in Maryland) on how many tries the mfr get to repair before they must replace the set. You are at their mercy entirely. Be nice when you deal with their customer reps is my best advice.
All of the above negatives notwithstanding, the set was worth the price which is now much lower than when we bought last fall.
Lives up to reviews August 4, 2008

After reading the many positive reviews on Amazon on this Samsung, we ordered it for our son's birthday. Not only did it arrive exactly on his birthday and in perfect condition, but it was great from the moment it was set up. We did do some tweaking on the colors and now it is perfect. His old tv had glare from the front door and sidelights and this matte screen has completely eliminated that glare. He has satellite tv and the pictures have been great. Highly recommend this tv.
Had Preferred 4069 For Its Matte Finish, Now Its Technology Is A Little Dated . . . July 25, 2008

After a long search I had settled on the 40 inch 120hz LNT4069. Then I started reading about the improvements in the LN40A650 and the LN40A750 . . . offering 50,000:1 contrast ratio vs 20,000:1 for the 4069 and the newer, lower 4ms response time compared to the 8ms of last years model. But, I still wanted the 4069 because it offered a matte finish for the screen, and several reviewers wrote in complaining and regretting their 'glossy screen' purchase. (Besides, I hate the idea of the 'Touch of Color' feature marring the clean, austere look of the 4069.)
However, after re-reading again and again my research materials, I am breaking down and going with the LN40A750. It finally comes down to being unable to ignore the future proofing the Connectivity and DLNA features provide.
Can someone please explain why Samsung appears to have done away with matte finishes. All the new stuff they are putting out is glossy. I have a very bright apartment and I just know I'm going to be peeved every time I catch the reflections of my sun-drenched blinds on my screen.
(I'm proud of myself for not ignoring all the latest improvements in the new line of Samsung's LCDs. There was a time not too long ago when I still would have purchased the matte screen LNT4069fx regardless of any improvements.)

Great TV - Would Buy It All Over Again! July 11, 2008
Bethie (Washington, D.C.)
I did a lot of research before buying this TV . . .consumer reports, reading blogs, going to various stores, "interviewing" friends. That is how I landed on a Samsung as a no brainer choice - the picture is amazing and the design is sleek.
I am very happy with the TV. I read on a blog that there was concern about the volume the TV can go up to . . . I have noticed that the indeed TV doesn't seem to get as loud as I would expect (it is plenty loud for when you are sitting in front of it, I just like to turn the TV up sometimes and continue to listen to it while in the shower with the bathroom door open), however I have to admitt I have not tried to mess around with the volume on my cable box to see if that setup is the culprit.
Overall, I have zero regrets of my purchase!
