Bold, bright colors, clear pic.
(5 out of 5) by Jane Diokas on Aug 17, 2009 (NYC)First I bought a Visio. I had looked at them both in the store side by side and the Visio seemed slightly brighter - wrong. I went back for the Samsung - put them both in the same place the the difference was like night and day (literally - the Visio was dark and the Samsung was bright).
The Samsung TV had a very clear picture and seemed to have better color. The other TV was all orangy. I watched a hi-def movie yesterday (A Perfect Storm) and really appreciated that film for the first time because I could see in detail what was happening.
If there was anything I would change about the Samsung - it would be to make the sound a little better, although it was far superior to the Visio - it still had a little way to go before it would be called decent. I think I will have to add a couple of little speakers.

Amazing TV for regular people
(5 out of 5) by Betty Edit on Jul 25, 2009 (USA)I hestitated buying this TV because of some of the criticism made here by people who are probably videophiles. I am not a videophile, but just a regular person who watches TV sometimes and wants a good picture. This TV more than satisfies my needs. It's incredibly sharp. I wish I had bought it sooner.
There was one negative: it arrived without the four screws that attach the base (I believe someone had purchased this TV and returned it, failing to include the screws). I was instructed by Amazon to get those from Samsung, which was far more complicated and difficult than it should've been. But I did finally get them, and all is well.

Aweseom buy!
(5 out of 5) by T. Bern on Oct 6, 2009 (Cedar Falls, IA USA)We originally saw this TV at Bestbuy with a price of $399.99 (March or April 2009). We weren't sure if it would fit in the space we had so we got measurements and went home. We were also hoping they would have the TV on sale. Lo, and behold, it went up in price $130.00!!! We watched for months for someone to have it on sale again. The picture is wonderful and, so far, we haven't run into any problems with the functions.

26 " Samsung TV
(4 out of 5) by J. Thigpen on Sep 13, 2009 (West Des Moines, IA.)I wanted a larger TV for my kitchen and a 26" screen seemed to be the solution. This TV has a nice picture (great on near-high def, over the air digital transmission) and OK sound.
Like other Samsung TVs (I have three) it looks and feels like a quality product. The only downside is sound and that is mostly a volume issue. Kitchen TVs are more often stand alone and the volumn and quality has to come from the TV. If better sound is needed a sound bar would provide a small space, great improvement.
Samsung makes highly rated TVs for a reason . . . they perform.

Happy Camper
(5 out of 5) by E. Armstrong on Jul 7, 2009 (Sacramento, CA)Our first LCD TV. Got this one for the bedroom. Arrived in great shape and was easy to set up. Have satellite receiver hook-up and get very nice picture (not HD at this point). Sound is fine for a bedroom TV. Menus are easy to navigate. Waiting to get a bigger Samsung for the living room.
