Good Price, Good Size, Good Quality, Good TV, November 4, 2009

I have owned this Tv for about a year now, and I absolutely love it. It fits perfectly in my living room. The TV is basicly all screen..with a little bit of frame around the edge. HD is amazing on this TV and Blu-Ray is amazing as well. The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray is flawless on this TV. The volume is fine, I don't get why people always complain about the volume..it's loud enough..if you want it louder then def. hook it up to a surround sound system. Overall, this TV is a 5 out of 5!! I have no regrets!

STILL AWESOME, October 2, 2009
Purchased one year ago in Oct. 2008. Still awesome. No problems, great picture, still appears to be the best deal ever available on a big screen tv. It is so wrong for Samsung to have stopped making this excellant tv which for the price was an incredibly good deal. If you want a great deal on a tv, my only suggestion is to start a petition to try to get samsung to start producing them again.
happy with purchase, October 1, 2009
we are fully satisfied with our TV! love watching HD on the big screen. The screen is very clear, and we are glad we went this big with the screen.
Amazing TV, August 5, 2009

I have had this TV since Feb '09. After some minor tweaks, the picture is one of the best I have ever seen, and the BEST picture within it's price range. One would have to spend a couple of thousand more to get a picture as good as this, especially at this size. Couple of minor things I wish were different: 1) Wish it had two tuners for true picture-in-picture 2) Wish I was able to edit any channel name to anything I want 3) Wish I could edit source input names to anything I want 4) Wish they were still being made as all my friends want one after seeing mine and hearing about the great price I paid!

Best RPTV ever ...., July 28, 2009

Unfortunately, this TV is now almost impossible to find, but if you can find one, don't hesitate. The color reproduction (with just a few easy tweaks in the menu) is just about perfect. The fact that it uses an LED lamp instead of expensive DLP bulbs is a great feature as well. I've had it for a couple of months and so far so good (fingers crossed) but some people have had some issues. RPTV is nearly gone, and this is probably one of the best ones you can get, and even when they were new, the price was VERY reasonable. I love LCD, but they're just not affordable in larger sizes. Its a shame that these are not being made any more - Samsung had a real winner.
