"very pleased" 2007-05-21
By trusted (san antonio)
the tv is sharp looking and picture is very good, plenty of inputs and mounted easy on wall, good overall value, the only negatives I see are high-end plasmas have richer colors and handle fast moving frames better (I have a pioneer elite plasma from which I'm referencing from)
"Great TV!" 2007-04-12
By S. Musielak (STL, United States)
We initially purchased a 50" Samsung plasma. We live in Denver and could not stand the buzzing the TV constantly made. After the Samsung repairman came out and told us that's just how it's going ot be, we took it back to the store and exchanged it for the Samsung LCD. This TV is simiply amazing. I have not noticed any clouding and I watched The Matrix the other night. Also, we have it above the fireplace with a large sliding-glass door about 6 feet away; there is no glare at all. I'd recommend this TV for sure, you shouldn't be disappointed.
"Great picture, great experience" 2007-02-14
By Kenneth Ramirez (CT, USA)
What a great picture! We have a 42" LG plasma that we love and we were worried that an LCD picture might not hold up to our standards. We were wrong, this TV is awesome. Gaming mode (xbox360) looks awesome, although both Ps3 and xbox don't have any games that truly take advantage of the 1920x1080 resolution. We hooked up our Mac mini to this thing and now have a complete entertainment system. Really excellent value for the money, Samsung got it right this time.
"After Much Debate..." 2007-01-18
By Jonathan Zegadlo (NYC, NY)
After months of research, I finally pulled the trigger on this baby in early Jan 07 (wanted to have the Superbowl in HD). Like most out there looking for a TV with these specs, I had it down to the Sharp and the Sony. What killed me was that out of every 10 reviews I read about those 2 brands, 3 were horror stories. Sharp with banding issues, sony with clouding issues... what to do? I suppose its true that any manufacturer can have lemons but id heard precious little going wrong with the Samsungs.
I have to say Im very happy with the set. Picture (I have HD DTV) is truly spectacular. (I cant beleive what I was watching before compared to this).
Now although I realize I cant compare this tv to my previous due to them being apples and oranges, Im very happy with both the picture quality and sound. The look of the tv doesnt hurt either (very slick).
Im very pleased that I did not get a lemon (although I did by the warranty just in case)... I bought it through Amazon for 3500$ with delivery and had it in 3 business days delivered by Fed Ex freight. I was shocked at how fast I got it... its taken weeks for me to gets books but here a 100+ lb tv gets to me on Wed and I ordered it online the previous Sat night.
Overall very pleased with Amazon and Electronics express and Samsung. Would recommend this tv and vendor.
Good luck.

"Cloudiness ruined this set for me" 2006-12-31
By Michael Andreev
I purchased this set back in December. The day I got it I noticed clouds that become very apparent when watching dark scenes in movies. It was very patchy and distracting. These clouds are the result of too much light leaking through the screen on certain parts of it and they really stick out when you turn the lights off and watch dark movies like "Batman Begins."
More technically, this clouding-effect is known as "mura."
Some websites suggest that massaging the screen with a cloth will help clear up the problem. I tried that and the problem got worse. This is a solution not found on Samsung's website or in their manual. They have not acknowledged this problem and they do not have any solution for it.
I called Samsung about the mura. They sent a tech out and the tech said it was a problem with the screen. I had the set exchanged. I got it last week and it also has a problem with clouds, and it was worse than the last set.
I made the decision yesterday to take the set back and I got it exchanged with a Pioneer plasma display and, so far, I am VERY happy with it.
I am not the only one who experienced this problem. If you check out the forums on [...] you will discover personal accounts of people who also own this set who are experiencing mura. These people also post pictures of this problem so you can see it for yourself. In my view, this is an unacceptable defect for a TV of this price.
This TV could have been a good one. It produces an outstanding high-definition picture that made me very happy, it has lots of useful inputs, and it is aesthetically pleasing. It's too bad that this defect with the screen ruined the entire purchase. It amazes me that Samsung is still ignoring the problem.
On a sidenote, Sony has a line of Bravia TVs that use the same panels that Samsung put in their 96D line and customers of those sets have also reported problems with mura. Please be advised that this is a widespread problem, yet Sony & Samsung are not acknowledging it.
Hopefully, if you buy this set, you will have better luck than I did. To be honest though, it's not worth the risk. If you get this set, and you notice these clouds, you will have to go through the headache of either returning it or trying to get a replacement set that does not have this problem. Either get another set or wait for LED LCD which is coming in five months.
LCD TV is great for smaller screens, but it has not yet reached the level of quality for big screens that Plasma is enjoying. If you want a big-screen flat-panel that is 42" or more, then go plasma.
