I needed a new TV for the client reception and waiting area of my office, where waiting clients sit about 10 feet from the TV. I wanted something LCD 46 to 52 inches in size, for 10 foot away viewing, yet not too heavy. This one caught my attention because it is a name brand (Samsung), right size (46)and is 63 pounds with stand. I give this TV 4 stars after 3 weeks. It has been a great TV for the price (less than $1000). I also liked the fact it comes with both digital and analog tuners, because our security system cameras broadcast on the old analog channel 19 and when I want to check them I can simply switch to analog channel 19 from the now standard digital channels. This TV worked great right out of the box, was well packed and promptly shipped, although I have played some with the picture settings to suit my personal preferences. My biggest concern when I got this thing was that the base plate for the base is made out of glass, but the glass plate appears very strong and has held up well. Of course if you intend to wall mount the unit that is irrelevant. Another concern was that the speakers actually face down and not towards you as you watch the TV. But the sound has been plenty adequate at the 40 to 55 settings (0 to 100 is the scale) for my office. Of course there are jacks on the back for hooking up external speakers if you are one that likes to blast the sound.
Picture quality is very very good when viewing HD content, and above average I think for non-HD digital content. Picture quality has also been great for standard DVDs (I have not used Blu-Ray). The TV offers 3 viewing modes, which are Dynamic, Standard and Movie. Dynamic is best for when you are watching in a well lighted room, Standard otherwise, and Movie for when watching in a darker room with few or no light sources. Viewing mode is easily controlled by the remote, which has worked perfectly I might add. I have reset the Standard mode to suit my personal tastes, which is Backlight at 7 (0-10), Contrast at 90, Brightness at 50, Sharpness at 70, Tint at G50/R50. This gives what I consider the best picture in Standard viewing mode when HD content is on. I would caution however that although almost all content these days is digital, not all content is HD. You will notice a lower quality of picture for ordinary digital versus HD, but that has to do with the quality of the content, not the TV that displays it.
Bottom line is I give 4 stars. Reason for not 5 is that this is a standard 60 Hz TV, not 120 Hz or 240 Hz. If you intend to watch a lot of fast paced sports or play video games I would recommend you pay out the additional few hundreds of dollars to get a higher Hertz rating. Had this been a 120 Hz model I would have given 5 stars. Very happy nevertheless and fit my needs well at a very reasonable price. 4 stars

We bought this tv in April after researching quite a bit. My friend bought a Bravia at the same time and I watch them both often. I have to say that the
samsung has a much superior picture and controls. We are very happy with this tv so far. I have not hooked up a pc to it but video games are great.
Also it was delivered before the proposed date.

I purchased this as an early Christmas gift for my son and daughter-in-law. I had done quite a bit of research and this Samsung model has received excellent reviews. It's a good looking television and the images are very clear and make TV watching so much more enjoyable. The price is very good and the delivery and set up were perfect.

Samsung LCD's have the best picture. However, many fail after a few months of use. It stems from bad components in the power supply. At turn on there are repeated clicking sounds which increase to many minutes. A Google search will bring up many web sites that describe this problem. Some consumer group WEB sites carry long lists of unhappy consumers as well. Beware
