This television is great. I also own the panasonic 50 inch 720p model from 2007 and find this TV to be of equal picture quality.

PROs:
SD Channels look good to excellent.
HD quality is superb.
plenty of options in adjusting picture settings
3 HDMI connections
VGA connection
USB connection
great styling, piano black finish
swivel stand
reasonable price

CONs:
not 1080p (which is getting cheaper and cheaper as time goes on)
when changing inputs have to cycle through all inputs instead of selecting desire input from menu

Eagle and Amazon delivered this product fairly quickly. I am a very satisfied customer.

Not much to add to most of these reviews. The set was delivered promptly and very professionally by Eagle. The set itself looks fantastic on HD and even better than I expected on standard resolution. As other reviewers have noted, the factory default settings are terrible. I found the AVSForum website to be a very helpful starting place to learn about burn-in issues and suggested pictture settings. The Samsung's on-screen menu is very easy to navigate to make the initial set-up and changing settings a breeze.
Overall, I am very happy with the purchase.

After much research including several trips to name brand stores we decided on this TV from Amazon. There was no sales tax and delivery was free. It was not a refurbished set, it was brand new right out of the box. The picture is awesome! The remote is easy to use as well. The only tip I would offer is that you will have to get a new satellite dish and receiver to get high def reception. (I did not know that when I bought this tv) The cables can be a little pricey too. Over all I am very happy with this set.

I researched HDTVs for a long time before choosing this one. I saw it at Best Buy but bought it on Amazon because the price was substantially cheaper.

The TV is utterly spectacular!! The picture is awesome, much sharper than I expected, even from broadcast analog and digital channels (I don't have cable hooked up yet). DVDs look great even without a new upconverting player.

The only drawback was waiting ten days for delivery. The package arrived at the local shipping center within days, but because Eagle only delivers between 9AM and 1PM, I had to wait for my next day off from work to receive the TV. Painful, but worth it for this excellent TV!!

After reading the reviews on Amazon and seeing the Samsung model in stores,I decided to buy Samsung.Received my order from Amazon within 7 days.Delivery was great by Eagle.Set was fantastic for one week.Sound went out.It took three weeks to get fixed.One reason was the holidays and another reason that Samsung only had one company under contract in this area.That company never returned calls,and when I called them they said they were didn't know when they could come and that they were very busy.Samsung was pretty good and was concerned enough to call back.They had to get a company from Maryland under contract.They were prompt found the problem and ordered new sound board.Returned within week and fixed problem.All is well.I guess it could happen to anyone.Just trying to write honest review.Yes, I would buy another Samsung product and always from Amazon my favorite place to shop.
