Amazing TV
I recently purchased this TV from Amazon and have
been using it for about a week now. The picture is gorgeous out of my PC
to the TV using a DVI to HDMI converter. Playing DVDs at 1080p is an
amazing experience for me who is stepping up from a 27inch 720p set.
There are loads of inputs to connect all your old equipment like a PS2
etc. You can send the audio out of the TV to your receiver using a
single optical cable and this makes the clutter much less behind the
receiver. The auto highlighting of the active inputs present on the TV
makes it easy to know if the equipment you have connected is working or
not.
The touch of color is an ok feature..just makes the TV look good and
most of the times you need good lighting behind the TV to actually see
the red color on the edges.
Is 120Hz worth it? Well right now it is not for the extra 200-300$
per set. I was thinking of getting the Sony Bravia with 120HZ but when I
viewed the screen between these two i could not tell the difference.
Films and games mostly are shot/produced at 24-30 frames/sec...since
this set has twice the sampling 60hz you should expect a pretty smooth
frame rate and should not have any motion lag. 120hz samples at 4 times
and will make it look even smoother..but you would need a giant screen
to note the difference. at this size it is marginal so save your money
and go with this Gem from Samsung.
Poor Support
I purchased this TV in January 2009 and in May it
developed a problem with the controls no longer interfacing with the TV
(remote and side controls). At this point the TV was unusable.
Then I entered into the nightmare of trying to get Samsung to
fullfil their obligation under the warranty and repair the TV.
They sent a contractor that I can never get on the phone, shows up
hours later then the scheduled time, and never follows through. I have
had to take countless hours out of my work day to keep calling over and
over in an attempt to resolve the issue. The contractor is US
Techdisplay LLC.
The repair contractor has ordered parts, replaced parts, attempted
three times to repair the TV. They said on the last visit that they
would make a determination that the TV can not be repaired. Since that
time I can not get an answer from Samsung and can not reach the repair
contractor. The repair contractor will not return phone calls. When I
speak to the Samsung Executive Customer Service I get no where.
So, I have a TV that cost over $1000 in my house that does not work
and has not been replaced. I have taken off work to wait for the
contractor on three seperate occassions and always have to make calls
myself in an attempt to resolve the issue. However, nothing is being
resolved.
The bottom line is that Samsung does not support their products and I
advise your to buy another brand with better support so that you do not
have to experience my nightmare.
Alot of set for the price!
We received our set over two weeks ago, and remain as
excited as if it just arrived. What great color and what a sharp
picture. We have a 37" Sony HDTV in our smaller living room, and this
picture is even better; and we like our Sony a lot. It was an easy set
to self install, and is an easy set to operate. Yet, it has the features
and options to expand into a home theater with all the bells and
whistles. The included swivel stand comes in handy, since the seating in
our family room isn't isolated in one primary location. It certainly is
a high value set at today's prices, and one you won't regret owning. Go
for it!
