I purchased thsi TV as replacement for HP LCD, the colors are more vivid and crisp. The LED backlighting delivers as promised, see small detail in scales of gray and black.
What's great about it: the colors are vibrant and crisp

I bought this TV at the beginning of the year and absolutely love it. I've had no problems with it so far and don't expect to have any soon. I traveled across town to a Best Buy with a Magnolia store inside and it was totally worth it. I did a lot of research on LCD TVs and this one by far stood out. The contrast ratio dominated all of the other competition. It brings out the deep blacks and bright whites like I have never seen before. The color definition is amazing and nothing compares. It has plenty of inputs for all of your accessories. Including a PC input and Wiselink (USB). You can bring up your music from your iPod or MP3 using Wiselink. You can also bring up photos from your digital camera. I play Halo very competitively and have to admit the 8 ms response time is a little too slow for me. As I'm use to playing on a 22" monitor with a 2 ms response time. But I use it to play most my other games and it's hardly noticeable. Other than that this TV is perfect. Whenever I have Blu-Ray movies running while guests are present they are amazed at the quality this TV beholds. I just wish I waited a little bit longer as I paid $3,000.00 in January.
What's great about it: Design, LED Smartlighting, Contrast Ratio, Buttons
What's not so great: Dust Collector, 8 ms Response Time

This TV is SWEET! I did some research and decided on this TV before purchasing, and it has top hat performance features. If anyone reviews this less than a 5 star rating it is strictly because of some personal feature they want and not the quality of the TV. You can't lose with this one and best of all; the prices have come down even more since I purchased mine, but I still have no regret. I would buy it again and again in a heartbeat.
What's great about it: Absolutely best blacks and dark colors I've seen, ever!
What's not so great: None yet! Maybe, I could have waited to get it cheaper :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Best LCD Flat Screen Available!

There is a reason this is Samsung's elite series Flatscreen. It has the BEST Picture Quality I've ever seen! I mean that. Yes, including Most Plasmas. I reviewed the heck out of Flat Screen TV's over the last 4 months and purchased this beauty two weeks ago (I literally got the last non-display model available in Michigan at the time and traveled 1 hour for it.)
First, Picture on this TV is unbelievable...I mean the color and blacks come out at you! HD is a MUST...you will see wrinkles and makeup on actors faces, also details you would've missed @480i...this TV definitely brings out the detail. Motion flows smoothly (very important...even some 120hz models @ BB were still alittle blurry on certain action and sports programs.) X-BOX 360, WOW...the HDMI connection with this TV's picture quality brings the Games to Life! What a difference. My Friend told me that Samsung really worked to make the game mode option the very best for games and I really believe they did an excellent job!
Next, the 81 series is the only ones with LED back lighting technology. I thought about how this differs from Plasmas and Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps. Well no TV is made to last forever. But, from my knowledge you'd assume the LED's would last longer then the gas charged Plasmas or the CC Fluorescent lamps and use less energy then both besides giving a brighter picture with the LED bulbs turning on and off for lights to darks.
Lastly, I plan on keeping this TV for a long time. Other TV's I was looking at (which I believe are also good models) were the Panasonic Plasma TH-42PZ85U and the Samsung LCD LN40A650. I read some reviews on these models and decided I had to get the LN-T4081F. I figured from my vantage point a 40" was plenty...and my personal opinion is the 46" and 52" kinda look alittle distorted when your not far enough away. Buy this TV if it's on your list! You will not regret it and be envied by others...lol.

This is my first purchase of an LCD after much research. I had initially thought I would buy a Toshiba Regza but upon getting to the showroom I wasn't that impressed with the picture quality. The sales rep on the floor was extremely helpful and guided me to this model (which was on sale at the time) and advised that it was a great buy. I compared to a couple of other Samsung models and decided he knew what he was talking about. It's perfect for gaming with my 360 and I've found that watch HD television programming rocks. Would highly recommend this product for anyone looking to buy an LCD TV. Thanks Best Buy!
What's great about it: Gorgeous Picture! Great Sound! Nice, sleek looking LCD
What's not so great: haven't found any yet.

This TV exceeded my expectations. Far greater contrast ratio/black depth than anything else I've ever seen of any technology. Amazing color range from the LED backlight. Absolutely no motion blur.
Very simple to set up and use.
I knew that, on paper, this set would be far better than any other sets but I was still amazed at it's performance -- stunning. Built in speaker sound is good also when you don't want to bother with your home theater sound system.

What a great television! The "darks" are REALLY dark and the lights are really light!
A little "light pollution" really doesn't hurt the picture -- I've positioned the thing so that the sun never shines on it. :-)
I have had several occasions where I have to power-cycle my Samsung DVD player once or twice for it to actually "show up" on the HDMI input -- before this it shows up as dark screen with a little "noise" (red/white pixels) near the bottom of the screen.
But that's a really minor inconvenience...this is a great TV with full 1080i support! I can never watch the Super Bowl on less in the future!

Best LCD I have seen so far. Everything looks greeeeat. Had been a bit disapointed with comcast HD with my other tv's, but now... WOW! Everything just looks so crisp and vivid. My ps3, hd-a30, xbox 360 are all hooked up hdmi and look amazing! Comcast box is hooked up with a dvi to hdmi cord. I use an Oppo hdmi switch for the non comcast items. Also helps I found this set open box with nothing wrong for under 1900 bucks. MUAHAHA lucky me LOL

The HDTV is a MUST buy if you have the funds. I have (3) Sharp Aquos HDTVs and I love them but I wanted a new HDTV for the bedroom. I waited until after the CES 2008 show to make my decision and when Sharp did not have anything new worthwhile announced I decided to go with this Samsung beauty. Boy.....I am glad I did. This HDTV blows!! away even my "top of the line" D92 series 46" Sharp Aquos that I bought last March. The color and black levels as a result of the LED backlighting is out of this world!! When I am playing Call of Duty 4 in a dark room late at night and the screen goes black between rounds ....It literally looks like the TV has shut down....THAT is how black the black is! There are NO motion issues for the movie action or sports scenes.
This HDTV is a thing of beauty and a Masterpiece in perfomance and quality. I highly recommend!!

We purchased this tv about 2- 2 1/2 months ago. We love it... My husband is amazed daily on the video quality, which is saying alot since he is really picky when it comes to HD. I originally thought something was wrong with the video when we first got it but It turned out that this tv is really built to show off the great HD features and because of this you really have to get a good HDMI cable. We used a top of the line monster cable and upgraded our direct tv box from a hd box to a newer hd-dvr box and it is amazing, the quality it puts out is life like and almost as if the people on tv are sitting in the room with you. Food looks like you can just reach out and grab it. soooooo neat....! I would seriously recommend this tv to anyone who is into movies and sports.... hubby is into video games and its outstanding how great the picture looks. All i have to say is if anyone out there finds the picture to skip, or freeze up at all like mine did, just remember one thing... you have to have a good hdmi cable. So the video is only going to be as good as what you are feeding into it... another words if you expect a great picture dont have a cheap hd box feeding the video to your tv with standard yellow,white and red cables. Its built to be a top of the line tv and when you use a cheap box or cheap cables it really makes a difference on the quality... If your gonna spend the money on this tv, make sure you do it right, with the good hookups! Other than that its amazing and i would buy it again in a heartbeat!
What's great about it: High Def is outstanding
What's not so great: You have to have a really good HDMI cable or the video is choppy

I have been in the market for a lcd screen for some time now and when I heard about the new technology that samsung offered, I had to see for myself. When I walked into the store I found it right away. It stood out among the rest. With the LED backlighting it was by far the brightest screen seen. And the ability to control those led's individually created the best contrast on an lcd. The colors are really the best I seen yet (even black and white movies). It did well holding up to fast motion with no tracking issues. GREAT PICTURE ALL AROUND!!
When I got it home and hooked it up, (it was really easy to do this), I was still amazed at the picture. In all the formats that i can throw at it, the lcd really showed its ability to look great.
Its expensive but you pay for the new technology, which Samsung only has to my knowledge.
Buy it and you will not regret it.
