As with any review, I'll give you bad news, as well as good, first with the good news.

The Good …

Samsung is the top seller of DLP TVs for 2007 and the second only to Sony LCD HDTVs. Samsung prides itself on innovation, design and technology.

Many believe Samsung LCD HDTV as an alternative to Sony because they have comparable quality at a lower price. Apart from the popularity of LCD and DLP sets, Samsung is also admired forthe high contrast in its plasma sets, which in deep blacks and vivid colors.

Innovation

While most HDTV are black, Samsung adds an amber tone on his TV cabinets.

CRT sets have their lamps are replaced every 3-4 years you will be another couple of hundred dollars every time. Samsung was the first to the Texas Instruments LED technology to eliminate this problem and in consequence the need to replace the lamp. Also this technology will have aLife of twenty years, which means big savings in the long run.

The role of HDTV Redefined

Samsung has a stated goal, the role of HDTVs redefined. To this end, its HDTV equipment - both entry-level and premium - in 2008, are equipped with side-mounted USB 2.0 and HDMI connections. This facilitates the connection of digital devices, video and pictures on the HDTV.

Interactive HDTVs

Some advanced models can receive Web content via streaming and choose RSS
RSS feeds, such asas well as PC files. This is facilitated by a digital media adapter - an optional accessory. An admirable attempt, a TV into an interactive convert!

… The Bad and The Ugly

LCD Blues

Samsung LN-S4695D 46 "LCD TV has a poorly written manual. Apart from this the amount of any cable card if you are for this function has.

It is the color bleeding - a result of the backlight. "Pixelation" is obvious when you watch standard-definition TV.

This ratehas a sluggish remote control and channel changes are slow. DVI and USB connections are missing, HDMI and other inputs are on the back, instead of the pages. It also has a response time of 8 milliseconds, which is relatively lower than in competitor countries 4ms brands.

The next model in this line, the LN-S4696D ha a faulty backlight display.

The Samsung 52 "LCD Black Flat Panel HDTV has an intolerable amount of glare. Also it is difficult to set-up, with much needed tweaking before youto a satisfactory image.

Not much luck with either non-LCD

An owner of the Samsung TX-T3092WH CRT TV, said has put the "geometry of some issues", with vertical and / or horizontal lines that are not perfectly straight.
The HP-S4253 plasma TV is an audible hum, which can not be ignored, even if you can turn up the volume. It also has HDMI issues. This sentence is heavier than an LCD TV.

The Samsung 50 "Widescreen Black Plasma HDTV) (FPT5084 has a glare problem.

The Samsung HL S5687W = 56 "DLP HDTV has an audio problem, and it sounds like a mono-even if it is set in stereo mode. This could be done with the design of the internal speakers. The only solution seems to be to make that connection to external surround sound system.

The Last Word

Looking to the Samsung as a cheaper substitute for Sony, which could meet the price factor, to comfort you when you niggling concerns with your facepurchase.
