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 LNT4081F 40-inch 1080p LED LCD HDTV with LED Motion Plus
while the LNTXX-71F series was great, this newer version is MUCH BETTER. Utilizing LEDs to light the LCD panel, the blacks are much deeper and darker, the response time is fantastic and motion blur is a thing of the past for this LCD TV.
Substitute XX with 40, 46 or 52 for the available sizes and order this today. I have had this for a few days and it has already blown away my Plasma TV (two years old).
Samsung UN40B7000 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV
This is my first HDTV and I must say the picture is stunning. The TV appearance also looks great and has many great features. But I’ve noticed that when the picture background is light, that the corners are darker – like a smudged type look. I’d say this affects one square inch in each corner. Asside from this, the TV is great – but once I have noticed this I have found it annoying. I spoke to Samsung and they were very nice and they assured me the problem will be fixed. They put me in touch with a service technician and they are replacing the entire TV panel next Friday. I still am enjoying the TV very much – it has a beautiful picture – I hope the new TV panel eliminates the small problem.
I got the new panel installed – and the dark corner problem is gone -
The picture now is totally remarkable !!!!
