Excelente tv por un precio razonable March 8, 2010 tavieri (costa rica) Yo fui un asiduo comprador de la marca SONY hasta que compre un pequeño tele samsung para la cocina, vi que el tv me daba lo mismo que el tv sony de 46 pulgadas y entonces fue que compre otro tele samsung de 42 pulgadas por la mitad de lo que me costo el sony y de ahi quede enganchado con la marca. Este tele samsung que compre ahora es para remplazar al pequeño tele y se ve excelente, me levanta a 1080p cuando le conecto el play 3 y en canales digitales se ve impresionante. lo recomiendo
Decent picture, but horrible sound quality March 4, 2010 D. Andrew Buck (New York, USA) Purchased this TV (thankful for the Warehouse Club's return policy) in time to watch the last of the Winter Olympics. The setup to the existing DirecTV HD DVR box was easy, since it was replacing a similar but older Panasonic 26" set. First, the positives about the set. I have a limited space in the bedroom because of a built-in arrangement, so a 26" is about the largest class of TV that will fit in the space. It's light and nimble, east to carry and place into that space, and the on-screen setup was straightforward if perhaps a bit lacking in particulars (doesn't allow manual fine-tuning adjustments to size, which I'll cover momentarily). Picture quality was very good for a 26" set, though I noticed negligible difference between the 720p set it replaced and this as a 1080p set. I'm told this is mostly due to size, and truly matters above 32". Now for the negatives. (1) It "feels" cheap. The lightness and sheer amount of plastic in the set is both a positive and negative, so the controls and stand mount felt cheap. Given the price, I didn't expect much, but did expect a somewhat higher grade of quality. (2) Sound. Tinny. Like listening to an old transistor radio. I had to over-boost the bass setting to help it along, but it never came close to matching the Panasonic. The bottom-mount speakers are too small and underpowered to do much more than the sound they produce, which is in a word, terrible. (3) Size adjustments. No matter what setting I tried, it left black bands at the top and bottom of the screen in HD mode. Checked all my settings, read the manual, found no way of ridding myself of it other than to do "Wide-Zoom" mode, which cuts off the left and right sides of the picture, and part of the on-screen DirecTV menus. All-in-all, it's a somewhat passable set for the $300 range, but you'd do as well if not better with a 720p set at this size that produced better sound and picture adjustments (the Sony Bravia KD26L5000 I found on closeout was far superior in all aspects). For a budget conscious consumer, this might work and be passable if sound quality wasn't a concern but BlueRay was, and space was a premium. I was happy to return this to place of purchase, and would think twice about a Samsung in the future.
Great TV for small rooms. March 4, 2010 Joseph G. Martillotti I purchased this TV for my bedroom and it is a really great product. Picture quality is very nice and is just the right size for a smaller room like a bedroom. If you are using it for games, like I am however, the HDMI input for the 360 produces a jagged picture in game because the native resolution of this TV is slightly higher than 720p. I suggest using a VGA cable for the Xbox 360 so that there is no scaling of the image. I know from experience that his works slightly better.
Base not as pictured March 4, 2010 Matt (New York, NY) The base is different from what is pictured and described. Instead of the cool looking square base, I received a basic black plastic oval-shaped base. The neck is NOT transparent. A slight disappointment.
Otherwise, excellent TV. Since it is just a bedroom TV, I can live with the boring base.
Got it for $329 with free shipping in late Feb 2010 right here at Amazon, so if the price says $399 as it does now (March 4, 2010), know that you can do better!
What I expected from Amazon February 22, 2010 Doc (Montgomery, Tx United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It is what I expected from Samsung and Amazon. It was up and playing in a few minutes. A perfect TV for a bedroom. To top it all off, I ordered the TV at 11:00 am on Tuesday and it was delivered the next morning at 10:30am. No traffic and no rude and dumb salespeople.
