GREAT TV... GREAT sale price

This television (actually all my Samsung HDTVs - this is #3) was very easy to set up. I took it out of the box, put it on my stand, plugged in the HDMI, power, and component cables..and voila. Samsung has easy menus for configuration of tv capability to my U-verse signal. The blacks for this LCD are very good, and there are good selection choices to adjust color if you want. I like the movie contrast selection for most viewing, so that's the only change I made out of the box (other than setting 1080 on the tv and my Uverse box).
EASY
I agree with the previous reviewer that I don't see the need for 120hz yet. I mention the "not so great" part of this TV is "nothing I can fault Samsung for. What I mean by that is that TV broadcasting (signal) needs to be cleaner and better before I really think 120 or greater refresh rate will make a difference big enough for day to day television viewing and even football. It probably makes a difference on BluRay...but unless you're exclusively watching BluRay..why spend extra hundreds on the higher refresh rate? 60 is still good .. I'm very happy with this purchase. (as I have been with my other Samsung HDTVs).

I rate picture 5 stars (use a power/signal filter and set your signal correctly!), and sound only 3.. really I don't know how good or bad it is. I use a receiver and 5.1 surround - not the tv speakers. And features? What features? I haven't wanted to mess around with any features yet... I'm just enjoying the crisp picture on my large screen..
My only suggestion of accessories is to definitely buy a Monster power filtering surge protector for the tv/cable signal and power outlets. It really does make a huge difference in your HD viewing.
What's great about it: Super easy setup, excellent sale price, good size for bedroom
What's not so great: Nothing I can really fault Samsung for
I would recommend this to a friend!

I only have basic cable, no HD. What will the picture look like on this tv with only basic cable?
Do not bother with HDTV if you only have basic cable. Seriously - you'll probably be throwing money down the toilet and very unhappy with your purchase. I don't think cable gives you option to choose HD signal with basic (that's how they hook you in to buy a more expensive package). If you want an HDTV, splurge and get more than basic cable. Otherwise..stick with what you have and save your money.
