Excellent Balance Between Quality and Price

on December 25, 2009

Posted by: InterroBang

from Cincinnati, OH

This is my third Samsung TV. I have a large DLP in my basement, and this one is replacing a 8 year old glass CRT SD TV. I've always been a fan of Samsung's quality versus price in its mid-ranged TV's. This TV is no exception. The picture is great, even sports look great despite its 60Hz refresh rate. Pixelation in fast motion is only occasionally noticeable, but never bothersome.

The viewing angle was important to me. This is the only TV on the TV wall that I could still really see from a full 178 degrees. It is still just as bright from an extreme angle as it is looking straight on.

I have an upscaling DVD player and TiVo HD hooked up to this. I still have another HDMI port to add a game system. There are plenty of ports. I do wish there was a USB port for firmware upgrades or showing pictures. But, my TiVo shows pictures, so that's not a big bother.

The sound is just ok. You will definitely need to play with the settings to get the sound just right. None of the built in defaults are quite right for me. The advertised volume leveling doesn't really seem to do much.

All in all, I am very impressed with this TV. The quality versus price is really unbeatable. Go cheaper than this, and you'll notice a drop in quality.

What's great about it: Picture, price, ports

What's not so great: Sound is just ok, no USB port

I would recommend this to a friend!
