Consumer Reviews

Rating: ★★★★½ 

I’ve had this for a month now. I also bought the Samsung BD-P1500 with it. I love both units. I connected them to my Sony HT-CT100 soundbar and I am perfectly happy with the sound. Yes, I know the soundbar does not do HD sound,etc,.. but I don’t care because the soundbar is quite slick with the TV. Plus, it does what I want it to do so no complaint.

As for the TV. The picture is so crisp and clear and the black level really black that it took a while to get used to watching it. I have a DirecTV HD DVR attached to it too via HDMI and it is an entirely different level of watching TV. The images look so “real” as my daughter said.

I know the TV can do a lot of other things if you attach it to the internet. But, I bought it really for just watching HD TV and movies. So, I was/am not that concern about its other functions.

Right now, DirecTV just upgraded my DVR to 1080p, so I can’t wait to see any program or shows in 1080p. But the 1080i resolution is great as it is. So, no complaint in there either.

If you are looking for a TV that out performs all others this is the TV for you. Its contrast and Pixel ration out score the competition with ease. Some may wonder if its better than the Sony Bravia, well It is. This TV accompanied with a Blu-ray player make movie watching like watching them film the movie. Jump into action with the real life picture and all around viewing angle. The blacks are jet black and the whites are vivid and crisp. The high motion blur feature makes motion blur a thing of the past. Full loaded and ready for action right out of the box. Set up is simple and understandable. The famous phrase, you pay for what you get is so true. The price may be on the high side but its worth every penny. Other TV’s that are much cheaper are exactly that….CHEAP! You cant find the features that this TV has for any less. I would highly recommend this product. Five Stars!
