5 Stars loyal Samsung purchaser
I began with a Samsung cell phone several years ago and have stayed with them. So. . . I chose a Samsung for my new TV. So far it’s great.

5 Stars beautiful television
I purchase this television two weeks ago and love the picture. I put it in my kitchen and it definitely serves its purpose. I’m usually a Sony purchaser-and still am-but I thought this would be a great looking television for my kitchen. It was definately worth the money for its purpose.

1 Star Worked through the 90 day warrenty, then…
This TV worked like a charm until about a week after its 90 day warranty. Then it began to randomly shut itself off (3-4 times in an hour) with the only method for turning it back on being to unplug it from the wall, wait 10sec, and replug. It might just be this one set but this ordeal has put a sour taste in my mouth. I won’t be buying a Samsung TV again.

5 Stars Just the right amount of TV for those who hardly watch
It was with reluctance that I moved into the 21st Century of TVs. Managed to do so just before June 12th. Now that we have this set we actually watch it more often than the old (13″) one. We use a roof-top antenna and finally can watch the local PBS station. All the old stations, with the exception of one, now come in very well. The pictures are very clear. Had to play around with the setup, but I managed quite well and am satisfied. We do not have cable TV.

4 Stars Samsung LN22B460
I just purchased the Samsung LN22B460 and am very pleased with this product. The previous reviews I read were very accurate. The picture is very clean and the colors are great, especially in HD. If not viewing HD channels it is very easy to adjust the colors to get the picture you’re looking for. The set up was very easy. Just open the box and plug it in. With not much reading you can figure out how to set up the colors, channel selection, sound, etc.

The sound is not terrible like some of the other reviews stated but it could have a little more bottom end to give it a boost. I’ll probably buy speakers to add on as I don’t have it set up through a sound system.

I’ve owned several Samsung’s over the years and feel that they put out a great product.

All in all I would highly recommend this t.v.

4 Stars Great HD picture and great service from Crutchfield
First I want to say how impressed I am with Crutchfield. When I purchased this unit through Amazon I really didn’t pay much attention to who the actual seller was since it received the standard free shipping. I purchased this on a Saturday morning. With in 2 hours I received a phone call from Crutchfield thanking me for my purchase and explaining how the unit would be shipped, etc. I was very impressed with this and would absolutely purchase from Crutchfield in the future.

As for the Samsung – The picture is great with HD. I got it primarily for sports and the HD channels look great. Some of the standard def channels are not so spectacular but I don’t necessarily think that is a fault of the Samsung, I think it is more a Directv issue. I have an issue giving anything 5 stars but if you are looking for an LCD in this size range you should take a look at this one.

2 Stars dissapointed
i guess my other samsung must be 120mhz cause the picture is not nearly as good as my two year old samsung. wonder if i can return this for a better model? I mean,it pic is ok but not even close to my 46 samsung from two years ago. i just assumed any new model would be better.

4 Stars Samsung 40 inch 1080p LCD HDTV
This is a great TV. The only thing that I found disappointing is the particular model I purchased did not come with the side inputs for hooking up my digital camera or camcorder etc. Getting to the back of the TV is an inconvenience and it also results in less input options.

It’s my first flat screen so I wasn’t aware that this would be an issue.

4 Stars Fantastic Purchase!
I’ve had this tv for about a month now and it’s great. It has superb clarity and the colors are vibrant. Definitely on par with or better than Sony and LG, especially for the price. My only negative comment is the sound. Maybe I’m going deaf or my space is too large, but I have to turn the volume up much higher than I’m used to…I’ve added my Bose speakers out of fear of busting the tv’s. Overall, great tv!

5 Stars all around winner.
Great tv. great price for what you get. Picture is fantastic – colors crisp and bright, definition is sharp for all colors/shades. I have direcTV HD. Cant see how much better this picture will get but it definitely will bridge the game for several years. I don’t use other built in features like gaming to speak abt them. Sound is solid. normal viewing is at about 25% of limit. Tones are balanced and clear. for larger sound i go thru a stereo receiver. one sound quirk – the auto volume adjustment takes a couple of seconds to kick in; but that’s nit-picking.

5 Stars Awesome
This is my third Samsung in the past 4 years. I started with the first gen LED DLP which crapped out and then was replaced by the hl61A750 which is an amazing piece of work and is still kicking. I also purchased my first LCD as the ln40a650 which has since been moved to my bedroom to make room for the ln55b650 which I will review here.

This TV is amazing. Some may dislike the bevel in the middle but I don’t even notice it, partly due to the fact that my center speaker is blocking it. I currently have the tv on a stand slightly higher than eye level, which is somewhat unfortunate. Straight on this picture is the best I’ve seen as of yet except for the DLP. Off center though you lose a little bit of depth and things become kinda purple/blue. My setup is just a couch in front of the tv though so I only have that problem when I’m in the kitchen and watching. Colors look natural and beautiful on this set, which keeps up with the Samsung standard I have grown to love. To watch DVDs I now use my PS3 and they look great. I believe I’ve turned off the AMP feature as I’ve noticed there is slight input lag especially when it comes to gaming. (Tested in demo mode w/ games like guitar hero where you can see the difference) For TV and movies it might not be bad, but I’m ok with how it looks normally. 24p works flawlessly with blu-ray and the picture is amazing. Wall-E is the only movie I have since it came with the PS3 but it’s great. Blacks are black and the whites are white. Completely satisfied with this TV.

I purchased this TV for $1800 here I guess during some amazing 2 day special because the price has been fluctuating. But at that price it can’t be beat. If you’re considering this set, just get it. you won’t be let down.

2 Stars Great picture but auto motion plus is useless
This LCD Tv has a stunning good picture quality, but as soon as there is any fast motion, there is still a great deal of jutter or blurring of the image. I returned it for this reason.

5 Stars LCD vs LED
After ordered the LCD with Amazon, I read some reviews and found out that CEVA, shipping company was lousy. That is not the case here for me. They were very professional, 2 guys carried it into the house, and even asked if I want to have the LCD out of the box. I didn’t want it out and all I had to do was to sign a piece of paper stating that buyer does not want the unit out. They called and scheduled the delivery and very on time. I have to give them A+ for delivery. Can’t ask anything more than this from buying on Amazon, NO TAX & FREE SHIPPING – I love it.

Samsung makes a beautiful unit, lucky me that I didn’t waste money for Sony, much cheaper and same or better quality. Buyers out there, don’t be fooled by the products displayed in the store. Because LED is the new phase, so what they do is they place the LCD and LED side by side for comparison. I saw these two units at the store and the LCD was no match to the LED. The reason is this, at the store the place the LCD on the lower solution and that makes the LCD look cheap. After I got the unit, turned it on and the picture is beautiful, flawless, awesome. Making the football season is amazing on the HD. The red touch is very cool to some. That means you can turn on or off the unit with a soft touch in the front without using remote control. The sound is OK to me. I am looking to buy another Samsung when the price is right. Goodluck to all with Samsung.

5 Stars 55″ of great viewing
I recieved this TV about a month ago, I absolutely love it. I know that this TV has the very best picture of any TV that I have ever seen. Coupled with my new Sony Blue Ray player, the viewing experience is marvelous, simply marvelous.

5 Stars Great HDTV
Great HDTV, picture is fantastic. Don’t know about audio as I have it hooked up to a home theater. I have it hanging on a wall so it takes up no space at all. Easy to set up, only needed my neighbor to help me lift in on the wall. What can I say, I’m getting older. Great for watching football or blu ray. Recommended.

5 Stars Samsung LN52B630
Product was shipped from Vanns in a timely manner. Everything was excellent. Ordered TV, received TV. TV is excellent. Love the matte finish. No problem with the sound. All in all very smooth hastle free transaction. Superb product and customer service.

5 Stars I heartily reccommend.
I’ve read all the reviews. I went to my local big box electronics store and looked at this tv on display and walked around and looked at all the others. Here’s my personal verdict: look before you buy. Go, look in a store, talk to some of their reps, and read a lot of reviews. I did all that, and this tv is frankly amazing. It’s bright, high contrast and amazing to watch hi-def, standard-def, whatever content on. Even when I stick a highly compressed home movie clip in it on a usb stick, it makes it look good. I turn off the auto-motion plus for movies, but leave it on for tv – personal choice, great technology but it felt odd getting a soap opera look to something like Terminator 2. Video games look amazing, and I have no complaints there. I’ll want to wait a few months and see if my experience is consistent, s I’ll try and update my review then.

Delivery/Amazon/etc – All handled well, Pilot delivered. I took charge of this process, the moment the package shipped, I called Pilot (the carrier) and they told me when it would reach my local station. When that happened, I called the local station and they prioritized me and told me who it would be doing the final drop off. I called them, and ended up having my tv set up a good two days before it had been ‘expected’ to be delivered. The way I see it? A purchase this large, you shouldn’t treat like buying a dvd from Amazon – take charge and you hsould be fine.

5 Stars The research paid off! Great TV
I researched 52″ LCD TVs for about 6 months. After comparing all brands, models, and options the 52b630 by Samsung is superior in all categories… including price.

Here is a little hint, go to the stores, compare the TVs and then buy it on Amazon.

Free shipping, NO TAX (for IL anyway) and great perks…we received a netbook for FREE.

Love this TV and works great with my DVD, HomeTheatre and AppleTv.

You will not be disappointed.

5 Stars Samsung 52in LCD TV 1080p, 120hz
We just finally upgraded to an LCD TV. Samsung was my choice because some of my co-workers recently purchased Samsung and raved about the quality of the picture and sound.

The delivery was absolutely flawless. They called the day before and we received the TV the next day. I am amazed by the quality of the picture. You will not be disappointed.

5 Stars Can’t go wrong with this TV
I researched tv’s for at least for the last 6 months. First off, this tv is great at any viewing angle. Colors are vivid and crystal clear in HD. Before I got HD I had SD for a few weeks and thought that looked good. Once I got HD, it is absolutely amazing.

The tv is in a room with a lot of sunlight and I have no issues with glare at any angle. I had an old 4:3 SD 50″ Mitsubishi that I would often get glare on before I bought the Samsung.

This tv shows great picture at 60hz & 120hz. I watched NFL Sunday Ticket this past weekend in 60hz and could not tell the difference between it & 120hz. I am using the Mediabridge HDMI cables and totally enjoying this tv.

Another nice feature is the PIP on this tv. I will have a 2nd box (standard definition) on this tv hooked up to the tv coax jack to do PIP for games while running my HD box or PS3 via HDMI on the other screen. I love it!!!

5 Stars much more than a TV
Great Unit,this is what I like about it:

1. it has a great image quality,

2. great contrast ratio

3. It plays avi and mkv videos directly from an usb port, (portable hard drive or usb flash memory)

4. the red trim makes it very atractive

5. it can connect wireless with the extra dongle.

Cons:

1. hard to see the buttons in the unit. (not the remote)but at the same time this makes it look more elegant so it is not a big con.

5 Stars Very Simple…this tv is beautiful!
Very simply put this tv is beautiful. Great picture, easy to setup, easy to figure out, very easy remote. Stop researching now.

4 Stars Samsung TV
This is not my first Samsung TV that I have purchased. It is my first that I purchased as a gift for someone. The person who has received the TV says that it is fantastic. As a personal Samsung TV owner I totally agree with this. No problems with delivery, all was well right out of the box. Delivered on time and is thoroughly being enjoyed by the owner.

5 Stars PERFECTO
I did my research, ordered this product and it is perfect. It was delivered 2 days after I ordered it and has a wonderful picture.

This was the best price I could find and Best Buy wouldn’t even match it.

5 Stars Amazing TV!
I love this television! I did about a week of research before committing to this purchase. Amazon had the cheapest price and the best shipping deal. Concerning features this TV does not disappoint. With its crisp picture, fantastic colors and deep blacks everything we watch is miles beyond what we were used to. I’d say the DLNA feature is the best part of this TV. I have it connected to our home network and any show I have downloaded on my computer can be brought up through the tv’s built in menu. Over all… GREAT buy!
