Summary: Good Product
Comment: Very good value for the money, have owned the product for about a month now, so far so good. Slight bowing on the upper portion of the screen, however i only notice the bowing when there is a straight edge on the screen to compare it to. During movies and games I can't even notice it. Just like the many others, I was hesitant to buy DLP, being newer technology. The image is very clear and sharp if you are sitting the appropriate distance away. DLP is the cheapest technology to go with based on the size.

Summary: Horrible Service and Defective TV (but decent picture quality)
Comment: I bought this DLP TV on March 8th, 2008 from OneCall (through Amazon). On the third day I started having problems. The TV cannot be turned on properly from a cold start (like turned on overnight). All three lights (one red, two green) flashing. Samsung manual indicates there is possibly a defective LED engine. I would need to unplug the power and reset for a minute. The problem is intermittent and unpredictable.

The service is terrible...They sent people who know nothing about this TV. Now it's May 9th and I still haven't got it fixed. I am switching to a different service center.

I am happy with the picture quality (when it's being turned on).

One drawback of DLP TV is it takes too long (20-30 seconds) to turn on (if ever properly turned on). I would definitely consider a LCD or Plasma next time.

Be aware of OneCall, there is no return of defective TVs bigger than 20''.

Spend a little more money, buy directly from Amazon (not from OneCall). Amazon takes returns if TV is defective.

Summary: Almost Great
Comment: I've had this set for about a month now. Delivery was a breeze since we followed the instructions in one of the other comment logs. The color reproduction and the picture quality is miles above the old 35" CRT that we used to watch.

The reason I say this set is "Almost Great" is the fact that near the top of the screen the image bows slightly downward. The bowing is very slight, but noticeable. The repair tech came and said that it was within tolerance set by Samsung. The bowing is really only noticeable when watching a wider then 16:9 format video. However, I'm still quite happy with the set and would still recommend it to anyone else.

Summary: This is a great HUGE, low-cost HDTV
Comment: This TV is massive. It dwarf's everything else my living room. At first I didn't understand what DLP meant and didn't realize I was getting a projection TV. But it is very shallow front-to-back. At 50" its huge. I got it for the same price you'd get a comparable 1080p 42" LCD. The picture is brilliant! If you are more than say 6-8 feet away from the TV the viewing angle is really good almost angle in my living room.

The speakers aren't great and you'll need a speaker system if you want to "experience" your movies. But that is expected (for me anywho).

I highly recommend this TV! Especially for the cost.
