User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Excellent picture
Bought the TV at our local American TV about a month ago. The TV itself looks superb, picture quality is excellent for everything. Bluray movies, HD dish, PS3 games, etc. It will take some getting used to the 120hz feature, where they insert extra frames. I have it turned off 90 percent of the time because it just seems bizarre watching television that looks even TOO lifelike.

A couple drawbacks are the sound system is definitely weak, but you’ll read that in almost any review. Another is that while this is a LED tv (low power consumption, low heat output), the thing seems to draw tons of power (well, current technically speaking). In our mobile home, with a 200amp main breaker (it is a large mobile home) the main breaker will trip with the television, AC, dryer and essentially any other appliance running. This has never occurred once prior to owning this tv.

Overall, I’m pleased with the purchase, but (at least) a sound bar will be purchased in the future, perhaps an electrical upgrade is in order as well.

4 Stars Planning to buy a 2nd one LOVE IT!
If you don’t mind the sub-par sound then this TV is for you. I just added a sound bar and it’s now superb. It does have some bright spots, meaning the screen is not perfectly uniformly lit. I suppose this is due to the edge lighting LED’s. Overall i’m not disappointed and plan on buying an additional 55″ for my living room, with a pair for 5.1 or 7.1 speakers and Blue-ray it will be AMAZING!

Word of advice as far as mounting the TV the 46″ is 40lbs and is VESA 400 thus requires a large mount BUT I spoke to a representative at OmniMount and she mentioned that I can get the CL-M + VA324 adapter vs. a larger mounting bracket. The TV is super light and there are no mounts made that take that into account with the LED TV’s.

5 Stars Awesome replacement for my old plasma
My six year old plasma finally gave up the ghost, and I spent a couple weeks researching manufacturers and models. Most of my friends have LCDs, and I always thought the picture was a bit inferior to the plasma. The new Samsung LED’s have a picture that compares nicely to plasma. The blacks are black! I have not experienced any of the uneven picture that another reviewer posted. The manufacture did recommend having the colors balanced after 100 hours, which I have not done.

The plasma was a heat machine, but this unit runs pretty cool. Can’t wait to see what it does for the electric bill.

Picture is great, features are awesome, only issue is the sound. The speakers are like a couple pancakes and they sound pretty bad. However, I using a home theater system with the unit, so speaker quality isn’t an issue for me.

Warning! The Samsung ultra slim wall mount system retails for $249., and contains about $2. worth of parts. What a rip off.

Overall, I LOVE this unit and would not hesitate to purchase it again.

5 Stars Reminds Me When We First Got Cable….
I’m 46 and I remember when I was a kid, Mom bought cable. To go from four channels to 40 was a revolution and I remember sitting around for the next few days doing not much else but watching cable TV programming. I’m afraid the experience with this new HDTV is going to be similar. The experience, once again, is revolutionary. My what a difference a decade makes. That’s when we bought our 42″ Sony TV for the living room for just about the same price as this baby. Excellent picture my friend, but the picture you get from this TV is beyond that…I can’t imagine how it can get any better.

The first thing you MUST do before you purchase this TV is to MAKE SURE you have an HD compatible cable box. Call your provider - they’ll know if you do or not. We didn’t. The picture was good on conventional channels but certainly wasn’t as fantastic as HD is. So I ran out the door and 15 minutes later returned with the HD cable box. 5 minutes later I was up to speed. No charge for the box or the HD channels either. (Cox…you’re the BOMB!) I’m pretty certain now that “HD” stands for “Hot DAMN!….look at that picture!” It’s unbelievable. It’s almost 3D. You really DO feel like you are there - or that whoever IS there on the boob tube is coming into your living room. SpongeBob never looked so square…..dew on blades of grass, stubble on Survivorman’s chin, you name it - crystal clear.

Here’s yet another surprise. We have an as-old-as-the-hills DVD player and it is the honest to God truth that your older DVDs WILL look world’s better on this TV. We’ve got ours connected through component cables and man, what a great picture! Got a blue ray player that I haven’t connected yet because we don’t have the HDMI cable to give us the best picture.

Speaking of cables. Check online for better prices than the ridiculous $60 a pop they foist on you at the big electronics stores for a 4 foot job. I found three - count em’ three - 6 foot, gold plated, cables that yes, were the same rating as the $60 cable for the whopping price of $10 shipped. Where? Right here on good ole’ Amazon. Other similar deals abound.

I also purchased the wireless network dongle. So far, works as advertised. Internet access through the TV - though as far as I can tell - not exactly like surfing on a PC - and I can share my pictures folder on my laptop and view those on the TV too. However, it doesn’t look like I can wirelessly send the actual laptop display to the TV - that would have been nice - and I’ll bet it’s not long before something of that nature is available.

WARNING: Don’t hook up this TV directly to your computer! If you do? You’ll be thinking how to get a 46 inch monitor for every PC in the house! Incredible display. Incredible TV.

5 Stars Everything great except for sound
I bought mine right when it came out and it’s a few months old now. The screen is beautiful. The styling is much nicer than other models. The remote is improved over older models. The TV is lower power and generates less heat than other models. Screen glare is not a problem unless there are windows behind the screen. I don’t see any glare at all with large windows to the side of the screen. The menu systems are improved over older models.

120hz is a marketing scam - it only looks good on the store demos. I don’t know anyone who uses it. Fortunately you can turn it off. It’s hard to describe, but it makes the picture look very unnatural.

The thinner the TV’s get, the worse the speakers get. If you turn the volume up even halfway, they sometimes vibrate the cabinet. Big speakers = big sound. A 1″ deep TV cabinet will not house good speakers. My father has an older 40″ Samsung LCD TV and it sounds better (bigger & fuller) than my new one. Therefore, consider a nice theater sound system for watching your movies. I recommend one with big speakers and one that doesn’t ignore the vocal midrange (e.g. Bose is all highs and lows).

Overall, I’m still happy with my purchase.
