Summary: A wonderful surprise!
Comment: I must admit that I'm a plasma fanboy who in the past thumbed my nose at lcd tv's. Recently I had a direct lightning strike on my home that fried four tv's, a microwave and garage door opener. I replaced our media room tv with a newer updated 50" Panasonic plasma (TH-50PZ85U) which is fantastic...and for the downstairs livingroom and master bedroom I chose 32" LG Plasmas (very good but no match for the Panny) and then came the dilemma for the kids room and guest bedroom...can't justify large sets or too expensive so I decided to bite the bullet and go with 20"-26" lcd's.

After deciding on this Samsung based on generally favorable reviews I ordered two (shipped lightning fast by Amazon/UPS) and imagine my surprise when I found that the picture quality/features were actually above and beyond what I was expecting! These sets are very thin and light..minimalist bezel and stand with attractive black gloss. The colors out of the box were a little off but with just a few minutes of tweaking I had the sets looking very good...and not just "good for an lcd".

The only cons with this set are pretty minor...the remote feels kind of cheap and is not backlit..but is laid-out well and has buttons for every function. Also another con is the speaker quality...it isn't what I would call bad by any means but a little below average even compared to other lower cost flat screen tv's.

Overall I am very satisfied with not only the tv's but also the great price/fast shipping from Amazon. I haven't converted to an lcd man yet, but I no longer fear them. Kudos Samsung!

Summary: Great Value for a small HD TV
Comment: We were looking for a TV for our new three season room. We looked for a white TV with high quality HD. A year ago, we bought a smaller white Samsung for our Kitchen / Dining room and love it. We have cable TV and these sets pick up the local channels in HD without a cable conversion box. This is a great set for our room.

Summary: Great picture and price.
Comment: Bought this for a spare bedroom and it is the perfect size for the room. Picture is clear and it hooks up to a pc very easily. It is extremely light and a great price. Found it at the local store and it was $499 plus sales tax of about $35 so this was a great deal. The only trouble I had was getting it to scan all the cable channels but I am sure that it is nothing that reading the manual wouldn't fix.

Summary: tragedy
Comment: Bought this tv and had it at home for 31 days before it developed a solid yellow vertical line. I Called Samsung and they told me to bring it to the official repair shop. After 2 weeks I called the shop - the tech is out the part is on order. A couple weeks later I called the shop - the tech is out the part is on order. A week later I called Samsung and they were shocked - shocked I tell you - to hear the shop had the set so long. they called the shop and later that day the shop called me. They forgot to order the part - ha ha ha! The TV had now been in the shop longer than it was in my home. They asked me if I was willing to wait for the part which should take less time than an exhange...I should have gone for the exchange, but I let them order the part. Now it is two weeks and a day later for a total of about 7 weeks and I called Samsung again. They called the shop and learned that it was repaired 8 days ago and they didn't call me because they only call on saturdays (ha ha ha) and the Magical "caller" guy was out. What a disaster. I kind of expect the tv to develop other problems now just so I can have the joy of taking it back to this shop....yippeeeee...whatever you do, do not buy Samsung.
