 Absolutely Amazing September 5, 2008
Julian G. Romero (TEXAS)
Wow. That's the best way for me to describe the TV. I went from a tube TV to a 52 inch Toshiba DLP and thought the transition was great. When I bought this Samsung, I felt the DLP I had was my old tube TV. The picture is phenomenal. I hooked both my Xbox 360 and PS3 and played games and was amazed how clear, and crisp the picture looked. The detail and picture had me speechless but that was just the beginning of it.
When I placed a Blu-Ray disk (Alien vs Predator) into my Playstation 3 and played it, I was in awh. I couldn't believe the clarity, the detail...I'm still speechless. I felt this TV just put my DLP to shame. One of my gripes about Alien vs Predator was the scenes in the movie when it was dark. I had a hard time making out what was going on. Not with this TV. I could see the Aliens running around in the tunnels where as with my DLP, I could barely make them out. It was a frustrating experience to watch on my DLP, not anymore with this Samsung. You can see what was going on in the intense action scenes with perfect motion clarity and no haze or blur. Another thing, with such clarity, I could see just how fake the Aliens were. Something I couldn't do with the DLP.
I gave the TV a 4 star rating because the sound system was less than spectacular. It really doesn't bother me since I have a Samsung surround sound system. It also would have been nice to up date the firmware with the network (internet) connection instead of having to download the firmware onto a usb flash drive and then plugging it in to the TV.
If you are in the market for an LCD, buy this model right now. I swear you will not be disappointed. The price may make you look at a cheaper model and/or brand, but I guarantee the price of this Samsung is well worth it.
 CEVA Telephone Number September 5, 2008

In case you need to call CEVA to reschedule a delivery time, this is their number: 1.800.888.4949, M-F from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. CST. Just ask to be transferred to the local office that has your tv (e.g. the Baltimore, MD office). Have your tracking number (which is found on your amazon order page) ready to give to them.
TV is great so far. I'll write a longer review once I have more time with it.
Aesthetics: this tv is GORGEOUS. When the tv is turned off, sitting black and sleek, it just looks incredible. I'm really glad I got the 52" (as opposed to the smaller one). It's massive and stunning.
Great TV September 5, 2008

Beautiful picture easy to understand setup. So, far haven't encountered any of the negative things a few people said about it..... Picture sure seems a lot bigger than 52"!!
Out of the box AMAZING September 5, 2008
B. Mailloux (Rochester, NY)
After years of plain old CRT watching, I researched a lot and asked a lot of questions about HDTVs. Best Buy & Circuit City employees recommended the Samsung, Amazon customers recommended it and Consumer Reports listed it high. This TV has not disappointed, not even a little. The picture is pristine, the sound is great and the controls are easy to manage. It handles motion very well; sports are a joy to watch. The picture is so good, with such depth- sometimes it almost looks fake. Anyone who wants a big HDTV and can afford a quality model should really look long and hard at this TV... Now I just wish I had more time to watch it.
THE BEST TV I'VE EVER OWNED!! September 3, 2008

I got this tv today and when I got it up and running I was blown away!!! I had a 50" DLP with a really good picture, but nothing like this! If you own a Playstation 3 or an Xbox 360 you should own this tv!! The first test I did was to watch a little bit of Resident Evil on blu-ray and the picture was just unreal!! The next test was to fire up Call of Duty 4 on the Xbox 360. Oh My God, this tv made this game look REAL!!!! I got killed so many times because I was just standing in awe looking at the surroundings!!! Do yourself a favor and buy this tv!!!!!!!!!
