Very good deal
(5 out of 5) by Nadia_1 on Jun 17, 2009This is a brilliant deal. I ordered it on Friday and arrived on Tuesday, which is really quick when i was expecting it to arrive on Friday. Also it was easy to set up, i have had no problems at all and the quality is very good. This is a must buy!!
Samsung 42 inch
(4 out of 5) by Mr. Mr. Taylor on May 14, 2009Quick delivery and brilliant tv for the money, really crisp picture and brilliant sound quality.
Nice picture, but something funny going on with the sound...
(4 out of 5) by C Allen on May 8, 2009 (United Kingdom)Overall this is a great TV. I love the picture. Having seen plasma, I am *so* glad I didn't get LCD - if picture is your top priority, at this price you can't beat the Samsung. As others have said the built in speakers are kind of naff, but I think all tellys have this, every one I've tried anyway. If sound's a big deal, you use an separate amp, or put it through your mini system, or if you're really into it you get a 5.1 amp and have all those spooky obelisk speakers around the room. I've got a separate amp, and it's great. But with this TV, the sound happens before the pictures! Something wrong here guys. Very weird. Google tells me I'm not the only one, either, so if you plan on having your nice big speakers wired up to for films etc you might want to figure this sound thing out. I haven't done so far, and it's driving me crazy.
Beautiful colours
(5 out of 5) by Shivers on Apr 13, 2009 (Winchester)What a perfect TV and at such a low price? The depth, brilliance and range of colours of a plasma TV are definitely superior to lcd tvs especially at this size. Also crispness of picture with no lag whatsover.
I chose 720P over 1080P after reading some serious professional reviews that said that you would have to be pretty special to tell the difference.
So you can save a bit of money by not chasing the 1080P fad.
This TV has the wide zoom option so that bluray / dvd movies shot at 2.40.1 can be viewed with considerably reduced letterbox effect and without the reduced picture coverage of the zoom option.
All plasma lcd TV's have average sound quality unless you augment with speakers. This one is okay and compares well with most.
I see all reviews of this product are 5*, well deserved.
