Triple Seven Productions

As I was one of the early buyers, the shipping took some time. The problem with the piece was that the LCD screen remained blank after switching the TV on. I called Samsung Support, who registered the complaint and confirmed that someone from technical support will call and set up an appointment. But their tech support never called back. I then called up Amazon and requested a replacement. Amazon support confirmed that this product can be replaced for no charge but due to a bug in their system they are unable to order a replacement. I then asked them to cancel the order. The shipping agency is a little inflexible in terms of pickup timing. They work 5 days a week and I had to stay home on the day of pickup. The refund was processed promptly.

The good thing about this product is that its rated for 110V~240V and therefore can work across geographies.

This TV lacks a number of features. The sound is really poor, using built-in speakers. I called Samsung complaining about poor sound, they didn’t like hearing it. Poor AVC…audio volume goes weak then strong and never the same strength when changing channels. One reason for poor sound, Samsung says, is internal speakers face backward, so if you have TV up against wall, sound hits wall. If they know this, why don’t they mount them forward…? Owners instruction manual is absurdly poor. Written on cheap paper, small draft-quality text, poor descriptions, and ridiculously inferior setup information. Shame on Samsung. (This set is made in Mexico…..that explains a lot ! ). If you want good owner manuals, look to Panasonic, Visio, Toshiba, etc…but not Samsung…! The Samsung remote control is cramped & limited…! One good feature is picture quality and color tone when you use the ‘Natural’ setting….which is the closest thing to natural skin tone I’ve seen on any TV…and the sharpness is excellent….sharp, crisp, clear picture….just beautiful when watching the nature programs…!

I’ve had this LCD HDTV for roughly 2 weeks, and all I can really say is WOW!!!

For the price of a little over $900.00 and the terms of 2 years to pay it off with no interest by using the Amazon store card it was a “NO BRAINER”. I’ve been looking in store and on-line for over 2 years, LCD, LED, Refurbished, Consumer Reports, etc… By reading the reports and reviews from different web-sites and from personal viewing in store the Samsung seemed (to me any-ways) to out shine the others. The picture is just breath taking out of the box. With the different viewing modes and the 120 Hz auto-motion watching a HD Television program or especially a Blue ray video is quite amazing. Yes… I’ve read in other reviews the speakers don’t sound as good as my 20 year old Color Console did… but I didn’t buy it for the speakers…. Yes the remote is a little difficult at first, but once it’s set I use the Cable Box remote controller more than anything. I really did get a kick out of being able to plug in my External Hard Drive into the USB Port on the back of the set, having the set automatically find the drive then display the directory of movies that I have downloaded from Netflix on it, and then with the push of a button play them…. Well I think I have a very good base to start with, next comes a external sound set up, and then an internet ready Blue ray player. I bought the Square Trade 3 year policy with it, what ever you do buy a policy with any set you are planing to buy. With the 1 year Samsung warranty, the Amazon return policy, and the Square Trade coverage I think I have all the bases covered… For the price and the performance I don’t think you can go wrong with this one… I’ll add to this review later on if anything should come up.
