Customer Reviews
GREAT VIEWING
AMAZON WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY WAS GREAT. THEY DELIVERED IN 6 DAYS UNPACKED AND PUT IT ON THE CABINET, AFTER RUNNING THE PLUG AND PLAY SETUP I WAS WATCHING A GREAT PICTURE. I DID FOLLOW THE SUGGESTIONS MADE TO IMPROVER THE SOUND BY PROGRAMMING THE SETTINGS AND WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE IMPROVEMENT.
Bought used and love it
I got this TV used, or “open box,” from Amazon Warehouse Deals. When I was considering buying this used, I couldn’t find any reviews that told me anything about experiences with the Warehouse, so here’s mine:
The description said “cosmetic damages.” There are some scuff marks on the front that I didn’t notice for the first few days, but nothing on the screen. Otherwise, the TV is in perfect shape and, actually, the scuff marks are really hard to see.
I’m glad I took the risk and saved a couple hundred bucks. I still got the “white glove” delivery service, so the TV was plugged in, set up, and tested in my living room by the delivery guy to make sure I was happy with it. The Samsung warrantee still covers the TV if i ever have any problems with it. I now check Amazon Warehouse Deals whenever I’m buying expensive electronics.
Now, on to the TV: You’ve heard the same things in other reviews. The picture is excellent. The image controls are very powerful. But the audio sucks. There’s no bass. I watched Iron Man and Transformers and the lack of “oomf” to explosions and such was very noticeable. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
Priceless Purchase
I had taken two years shopping around for the right TV with everything necessary for the next wave of technology, and this model was at the top of my list for awhile until DTV was announced for February 2009. I compared this model to other brands in the same size, and I compared this brand between the different sizes. This is a great all-in-one, and I would say the best year of production for this model. I love LOVE love this TV with its crisp picture, various inputs, and ease in control. It’s extremely lightweight, and I would definitely recommend getting this size if you can afford it. I wouldn’t trade this birthday purchase for anything else so get it while you still can!
