Have had TV for four months now. With two teenage daughters, TV is on at least five hours a day. Has great picture and lots of features I have yet to take advantage of. Only problem is locating a universal remote control that can control both the TV and new HD cable box. May be a year before that happens. Love the feature to connect my laptop and not having to adjust any settings on the TV or computer.
TV was shipped by freight and I had option to have it deliver to door or pick it up at shipping company. Since it arrived at the company late on a Friday and wouldn’t receive it till Monday, I picked it up myself on a Saturday. Delivery was prompt and freight company accommodated the pick-up when they would normally be closed for customer pick up.
From the shipping company to the TV it was a great process. The price was 300 less than all others. This TV is the best TV I have ever seen. The picture still amazes me even after 3 weeks. the shipping company was to deliver on a Monday but they call and sent it 3 day early on a Friday.
This TV is my biggest, most expensive investment to date. I purchased this right after Christmas after seeing my parents 50-inch Samsung plasma. When I saw that they could connect to the internet…I was like: “No Way”
This review isn’t about the technical aspects or picture quality….reviewer EarlyMon has quite an extensive review and his review made me pull the trigger on this one. I highly recommend reading his review and ask follow-up questions under the review. So why did I buy this? Honestly, this was my first ‘flat-screen’ TV….I previously had it in my cart for 6 months….trying to decide and do my research. I try not to buy anything first generation…too pricey, too buggy and this TV I believe is the prime of LCD/ 240 Hz technology. Even though I knew there was going to be a big push for 3D TVs in 2010 and Samsung usually updates their models in the 1st quarter of the year, I still decided to go with this. I figure I’ll wait on 3D until more content is broadcast in 3D and the technology is developed so you don’t have to wear those glasses.
But back to the TV….this Sammie (yes, I named her) is the center-piece of my living room….it makes me want to watch TV…more lately movies as TV has so much garbage on it. The glass base and pedestal are sleek…the ‘Touch of Grey’ is sexy (you can set it to be off while watching or constantly on)….even the optional power-on melody is sexy. Picture quality is STUNNING….even when watching non-HD broadcasts, the picture is amazing. The Auto Motion Plus allows for ‘upconverting’ of signals….careful of the “soap-opera effect’ for picture…but again, reviewer EarlyMon has excellent settings to avoid this.
Audio: When watching regular TV, I use the TV speakers…when I’m watching a movie, concert, sports or playing a game….I crank up my AV receiver….in my opinion, if you’re getting a TV this great, you’re going to want a good home theater system.
The Yahoo Widgets are okay…not the fastest, or most convenient, but an added benefit…..I have yet to be able to log into my twitter account on this. The remote control is awesome….looks sexy and has great functionality….not a serious All-in-one remote, but it can hold it’s own.
For internet access…you don’t need to buy the pricey Samsung wireless dongle….if your modem is close to the TV, you can plug your network cable in there.
The TV swivels quite easily to about 35 degrees….for when I’m in the kitchen. I was a bit worried about the viewing distance…I live in a small condo, but my couch is right at 9 feet from the screen (far below the 12-feet recommended by Amazon)…but everyone thinks it is the perfect distance…..let’s just say that the ladies were actually watching the game (and not just the commercials) at my Super Bowl Party.
Sammie attracts dust quite a bit at the base…but nothing a quick wipe can’t fix….the included LCD cloth and a splash of water is all I use on the screen.
I would recommend at least a 56-inch TV stand/ console…haven’t seen it wall-mounted…but I prefer stands anyway (hides the cables).
Oh…numerous component and stereo inputs/ outputs…three HDMI are in the back…one at the side (concealed) which I plug my laptop in.
Overall though, this is a work-of-art. A solid investment. So if you’ve been on the fence….trust me, you will not be disappointed.
No Buyer’s remorse here.
The 52″ Samsung is an excellent product and I highly recommend it. The Samsung replaced a 6 year old Hitachi and the upgrade is significant. I am more than pleased with the product although the Samsung official help group leaves much to be desired. John C.
I, like many others in these spaces, chose between this TV and the Sony KDL-XBR9. I immediately noticed that the colors on the Samsung “popped” a bit more than on the Sony, although it could be because of the glossy screen (which, by the way, is highly reflective). Take the fact that the Samsung was $400 cheaper, and it became a no-brainer.
The picture is, without a doubt, the best I have ever seen. Out of the box, the picture is pretty good, but when you play with the settings and tailor it to your specific viewing circumstances, you’ll be seriously rewarded with an amazing picture. The separation of dejudder and motion blur is a great feature as well, for those who want a fine mix of the two. If I could, I would give the picture a 6/5.
Connectivity is great, with 4 HDMI inputs and 2 USB inputs. The side panel houses the 2 USB inputs and 1 of the HDMI inputs, but it is recessed enough to keep things plugged in without exposing the wires. I have only viewed pictures on the screen, so I cannot adequately assess the ease of playing music/movies off external drives. Yahoo widgets are painfully slow to start and run, so much so that they are basically useless. Samsung also throws a few internet extras in as well that you can either take or leave. 4/5 in that category, although I suspect the widgets are as much Yahoo’s fault as Samsung’s (and to be fair, they were equally slow on the Sony).
Now comes the poor part of the review. I have this TV hanging on a wall, and I used a right-angle HDMI connector so I didn’t have to smash my HDMI cable against the wall. One day, it simply stopped working, and when I removed the TV from the wall, the connector seemed to have melted a bit, which was worrysome. A few days later, a random buzzing would occur when I turned the TV on, and abruptly stop when the picture came on. Finally, a week and a half ago, the TV would turn on and completely stop responding to anything – bright spots/lines would appear on the screen, and I was unable to access the menu, change inputs, or anything else. A tech came to my house and replaced the timing board, which corrected the problem immediately. However, he also said he would have to come back and replace the power board, because the buzzing indicated that it may die soon.
I understand that every now and then, a lemon is had. However, of the 4 major parts of the TV (panel, timing, power, inputs), 2 have had to be replaced already, so I’m basically stuck with a 45 day old refurbished TV (all of the problems coincidentally came just after the 30-day return window). I intend on keeping it, as (hopefully) the power board will be fixed and everything will work like new, because the picture is absolutely sublime. What happens in a year, when I’m out of my warranty? I shudder to think of the stories that Samsungs fail to turn on correctly about 18 months after use. I know that all brands have their deficiencies, and I also know that I was one of the unlucky ones to get a lemon (although, it is being fixed, so I can’t be too picky). However, I’m fairly certain that this will be my last Samsung product.
On the bright side, while Samsung’s customer service won’t be winning any awards anytime soon, they were relatively helpful (maybe it’s because I’ve heard all of the horror stories) and not completely incompetent. They assigned the case to a tech, and now I deal directly with him. Silver lining, right?
The TV gets an infinite amout of positive starts for an unbelievable picture, and a corresponding amount of negative stars for the build quality of my set. 3/5 seems fair.
