Samsung LN40B550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color

Got this for $705 11/30/09. With two day shipping I scheduled my delivery for 4 days later and gave them all morning. No email, no call, no friggin smoke signal to let me know they weren’t coming. One wasted 1/2 a day of missed work later they came at ~7 at night with no word. Shipping company was PILOT, avoid them, couldn’t even contact them. I wanted to buy another TV as a present but I just don’t trust Amazon to ship it anymore. Sad part is I could see they picked it up in my state (Pa) on Monday and still couldn’t get it to my house by Friday. Were they carrying it here on foot? Same as other reviewer the truck was unmarked and the driver called a few minutes before he got there and needed directions. It was pretty shady

Anyway, on the TV, very solid, great bedroom TV. I have a bad back and it was still light enough. Looks great. If you are still on the Hz debate and thinking of going the next level up I’d have to say save your money. I haven’t seen any ghosting on anything, but I haven’t tried video games. Having seen the 120 or whatever at a friend’s house I actually thought it looked worse. The picture gets that home-video look to it on an LCD when response is too high. I’d pay extra not to have that.

Samsung LN32B460 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

Yes, I agree with the other reviews so far that the 32-inch Samsung is simply the best TV of its size. Did extensive side-by-side viewings before buying it, and it worked and looked perfect right out of the box.

Speaking of “right out of the box,” why doesn’t Amazon mention the outstanding delivery service by Pilot Freight? The unit was promised in four days, they called and asked if they could deliver it in three. They had two people bring it in, unpack it and set it up, plug the set into the cable box and plug the DVD player into the set, turn everything on and verify that it all worked. They showed me how to use the control, cleaned up everything and removed all of the packing and clutter. Great job, far better than expected. Both the set and the unexpected white glove delivery service are superb.

LG 32LH20 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Gloss Black

This TV is exactly what we wanted. This is a bedroom set, and we were not as concerened with having every “cool” feature on the planet as were were with have a quality TV with a good picture and sound. So far we have ZERO complaints. The sound is really good. Our old TV had speakers that seemed to project sound down instead of out. Most of the time we don’t have this one turned up past 10 or 11 (out of I guess 100) and it fills the room fine. The picture is crystal clear and the presets are nice – movies, sports, etc… The black casing is nice and clean looking. My wife loves the sleep timer! Plenty of features (more than we can deal with) and setup was so easy it was silly.

I wanted to talk about the seller here: Sixth Avenue Electronics (6ave on Amazon) is the best! I, like most people, hesitate a little to drop this amount of money online. The reviews for 6ave were outstanding, so we gave them a shot. MAN are they good! Communication ALL ALONG THE WAY and they make sure you are happy. I could not ask for a better seller online.

Panasonic VIERA C12 Series TC-L32C12 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

I recently bought this TV and I am totally satisfied with it. The picture is absolutely beautiful.

This set is used in my bedroom and receives over the air signals. I have an amplified antenna and the reception on this set is much better than what I received with my old 20 IN Panasonic with rabbit ears. I don’t intend to connect a DVD player to this set since I have one with my other set in the family room, and I haven’t tried to use a SD memory card yet.

I just love the picture on this set.

Samsung LN26B360 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

Well, the digital transition just wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, so I finally bought a new TV.

This TV has a stunning picture at a great price. Easy set up with clearly labeled slots at the back for the various inputs, and easy on-screen controls pop up when you need them.

The size is just right even in a big room if you want a more traditional TV feel, rather than a *monster TV.* I’m delighted with the picture and the sound. DVD’s are gorgeous on this screen, and plain vanilla TV is fun to watch again. If you’re a first time buyer, you’ll be thrilled. If you’re adding a small TV to a guest room or exercise room, I think the picture and sound quality is great, and the price is good, too.

LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Gloss Black

What initially drew me to this TV was the price. The TV at the time was under 500 hundred dollars, no tax, and free shipping. I was relatively hesitant to purchase a TV online since I could not compare and contrast without going to a store and finding similar if not same models.

I am very happy with the purchase. LG HDTV’s have great contrast and the color seems to “pop” more than other brands. With an HDMI cable and a PS3, the visuals get down right beautiful. There are obviously much much much better HDTV’s on the market but this is the one that caught my eye because it has plenty of value behind it. 32″ is the perfect size for my living room since I sit only 5-6 feet away from it.

I would recommend this TV to anyone. The packaging was good, no dings, dents, tears, scuffs, etc. The TV came out pristine.

Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-L26X1 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

This TV replaced an older 4:3 CRT tv in our bedroom. Easy set up, as long as you use a magnetic screwdriver to hold the philips head screws that are used to attach the base.

I used the recommended settings from the CNET review of this series of TV.

Biggest complaint is the off-axis viewing. The picture deteriorates rapidly, at less than 45 degress to the sides.

Samsung LN55A950 55 inch Full HD 1080p 120Hz LED LCD HDTV

Hi,
Got my Samsung a950 recently, and its an exceptional TV. Fantastic picture and sound.

Had a question on the settings…the Movie mode is the worst. Too dark. The Dynamic is too bright and colors too saturated. I tried to lower the backlight and contrast for Dynamic, but still didn’t feel right.

The Standard seems to be the best. Can someone let me know what ideal settings they use for Standard settings (backlight, contrast, brightness etc.), and also the settings they use for Detail settings and Picture settings ?

Thanks.

Samsung HLT5687SAX 56-Inch Slim LED Engine 1080p DLP HDTV

I purchased this item for stereoscopic content playback. This it does nicely. The quality of the picture is on par with the cost. This is a very nice tv for the price. I will note that I have not played any 2D content on it yet. The three HDMI inputs are very handy. I have driven my computer at 1920×1080 it looks pretty good as long as you are at least 6 feet back. Out of the box the image was not exact. I had to get the service code and really tweak the image. Out of the box the top of the image had a large noticeable arch. The good thing for me was that the service mode has a huge amount of control over the set. If you need stereoscopic playback there is no better solution for the price. If you are interested in 3D playback you will need a computer, stereoscopic active glasses and software. Almost any computer with DVI out will do. The glasses and software are around $250.

One other thing I love about the set is how light it is. One person on each end can pick it up with one hand easily.

Samsung LN-T4681F 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with LED Backlight

Best LCD I’ve seen to date, bar none. I did my homework for quite sometime and found the 81F series to be a hidden gem. This being the 2007 LED backlit series, it was $1,000 cheaper than the 2008 Samsung LN46A950 (120Hz). Thankfully, I got mine in time: the 2009 Luxia series Samsungs LNXXB8000 (240Hz), LNXXB7000 and LNXXB6000 do not have local LED dimming! What’s the point of having an LED backlight? Grab your A950 and 81F series while you can.

Only one notable con: sound quality. Certainly not a deal breaker, but you’ll definitely not want to depend on the internal speakers.
