nothing more to say...just buy it by Christopher Nelson (Los Angeles, CA)  5 Stars
November 02, 2009
There's nothing to say that hasn't already been said. I researched a ton as well, went into Best Buy and looked at a bunch of TVs side by side, settled on this Samsung, and have never looked back. I've had it for about two months now and have zero complaints. HD broadcasts look amazing, Xbox360 games look even better, and shows filmed in true HD (like Planet Earth) will blow your mind. DVD's played from the Xbox through an HDMI input look shockingly good. I wish that the third HDMI input was on the back instead of the side, but that's a minor quibble. Everyone who sees the TV -- on or off -- thinks I paid WAY more than $670 for it.
Probably the only TV that I have seen that bests this one in picture is the $4500 Pioneer Kuro Elite, and I've seen my fair share. Sports are particularly great, little to no pixellation or motion blur. And just as everyone else says, don't let the 720p deter you. It just means that you're not paying top dollar for a technology that makes almost no difference at this size (if any). I sit about 10 feet away from this TV in a La-z-boy and am in heaven every minute. You just can't go wrong.

BETTER picture than the Panasonic TC-P42S1! by Jimmy (USA) 5 Stars
October 30, 2009
It seems almost pointless to add my 2 cents to all the positive reviews for this Samsung, so I will be brief. I have owned several HDTV's both LCD and plasma. Panasonic, LG, Olevia, JVC, Sony and Samsung. LCD TV's have their advantages (no glare & less power consumption) however plasma TV rendering of colors & contrast simply outmatch any LCD I've seen. In my opinion, these are the most important factors in picture quality. All of my LCD's including the LG 120hz I owned had comic book colors and severe ghosting / image blurring. It was very annoying, so much so that I finally sold them all! Regarding the Panasonic S1 Series 1080p 42" Plasma. Although the Panasonic had a good picture, this Samsung has an overall BETTER picture with more features. Yes, the Samsung is 720p (and thus should provide a less detailed picture) but even when viewing 1080p blu ray movies, its picture is superior. At a viewing distance of 10ft, my eyes simply cannot see any measurable loss in image detail when compared to the 1080p Panasonic. However, where this Samsung really excels is in its more fluid, clean images with more realistic but brilliant colors. NO background noise, NO problem with red & greens, (both of which the Panasonic suffers) a better ability to handle SD broadcast AND a brilliant & accurate HD picture. Also, unlike the Panasonic, this Samsung has a VGA input, analog audio output jacks and a far more intuitive program menu. More importantly the Samsung has a wider range of picture controls including gamma, white level, flesh level, film mode, 3 levels of dark or dynamic contrast and various other settings which cannot be adjusted on the Panasonic. There is much more that goes into a TV than numbers on a paper. Specs often tell very little about picture quality. Just look at the low end brands with their high specs and abysmal picture quality...you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure this out! The panel and picture processing are vital to achieve quality images. All I can say is that with proper set up, this Samsung's picture quality is stunning...and for less than $600 its a steal.

Superb quality at a great price by Mark Olwick (Burlington, WA USA) 5 Stars
October 28, 2009
I researched the heck out of my first flat screen TV and after reading all the glowing reviews of this set, I bought it. I have to say, this TV has absolutely superb image quality, even in bright light. Nice, rich, deep blacks that plasma's are known for, accurate and vibrant colors, etc. Don't worry about it being 720P - no one is broadcasting in 1080P anyway! The HD quality is stunning - it looks like you're seeing things in person. Incredible clarity. The high refresh rate allows me to watch sports with absolutely no streaking that some LCD TV's have with lower refresh rates.
Amazon's fast and free delivery was also very easy. The shipper called, set up a date and time, then came in and set it up for me. It could not have been any smoother or easier.
This gets my highest recommendation.

Happy Samsung Fan by W. Jones (Oregon) 5 Stars
October 11, 2009
I bought this based on the reviews - turned out to be a good decision - great picture and plenty of inputs - you need them if you have Roku, blu ray, vcr, and a dvd player. Only negative would be the sound - satisfactory but certainly could be better. Don't think you can beat it for what you get for the price!

Great TV!!DVDs look AMAZING. Works out of the box. It took me about 4 minutes to set it up; which is the time required to remove the box, find an outlet and turn it on. No tweaking required for me.
