Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Picture Perfect! Comment: We've been waiting to get a bigger tv for our family room apartment and decided to go to Brandsmart to do some searching. We first looked at a 23" Zenith that had a good price, but then the worker showed us this 40" LCD HDTV priced at around $800 but he reduced the price by $100 and we took it home. Here are the things we like and don't like about it: Pros: It picked up some of the digital channels when using the auto search feature and not the ones that don't have the signal. Set up was sort of easy but fun to do! The picture was amazing, but it wasn't actually 720p. It was 1080p or 1080i. Lol! Whenever there's no input device connected like a dvd player, it'll remain in tv mode when you press the input button on the remote. And it has 2 hdmi inputs. Cons: The only problem is that the picture wasn't that great as a monitor comparing to the 19 inch version but it is okay for when we are watching a dvd through our pc. But other that, great tv with the perfect picture! You won't be disappointed once you see it for yourself! :) Customer Rating: Summary: love love love! Comment: We are very happy with this tv. It looks really good. It is very big. The HD looks fantastic. We did have 1 problem, the hd component plate in the tv busted, we called Samsung, they came, they fixed, its perfect. Highly recommended!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Great TV Comment: I have been looking for an LCD tv for a while. I decided on Samsung after reading Consumer Reports. I thought the 37 inch 720p would be fine for my bedroom. At best buy it was $999 and $858 on amazon; I was going to wait until Amazon had free shipping again. Last weekend I found this TV (40 inch 720p) on sale for $899 at best buy. I didn't even hesitate and brought it home. Set up was simple, the picture is great. I plan to have an HD DVR put in this weekend and can't wait to try it out. So far the TV is excellent and I'm very happy with the purchase. Customer Rating: Summary: Was a good value before 650's dropped in price Comment: So I got this tv around April and at the time it was a great value. It is difficult to impossible to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p at 40inch size when sittle more than a couple feet from the tv so why spend that extra cheese when you can't notice a difference in resolution? The colors are accurate and the black level is surprisingly good for an LCD. The anti glare screen is decent but not great, however the screen is plenty bright enough to make up for this weakness. Motion blur can occur like with any LCD, but I must say that unless I am being super critical of what ever fast moving content I am watching I don't notice it. Frankly I think 120hz is retarded when it comes to all the processing it does and I would rather have a slightly less crisp screen in a fast moving scene than some soap opera effect artifact injected 120hz over processed mess. But hey thats me. Oh yeah I use mine with PS3 and 360 and suffer from no gaming lag what so ever. It is a solid TV all in all and a great size for the bedroom/office. Hope that helps you guys out there in internet land. By the way the sound quality is very flat and lacking in the low range. But I have a 2.1 system hooked up so its all good. Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant TV (pun intended) Comment: Picked this up as the cheapest sub $1000 40" TV still in stock for my mom's birthday. Was not disappointed by the Samsung name. Football looks great on it in HD, as did a western movie and various HD channels. This set really has a stunning - literally stunning - picture. The promo videos in the store are interesting but for the first two hours we were simply slack jawed at how great the image on the screen was at home. I was not disappointed with getting the 720p over the 1080p and my mother was unable to tell the difference from the couch. We had no problem seeing the sweat drip off the football helmets on the line or turf being thrown up by cleats at 720p. Setup was simple, three screws in the swivel base, and then four screws connect the TV to the base (though you can't use a 4-in-1 screwdriver, the holes are too deep and narrow for anything but a regular screwdriver. Base is very solidly built - steel covered in the "piano black" plastic that adorns all Samsung TVs - nothing to break or fracture over the years. Other than that the TV came on and simply pushing the enter button on the remote 5 or six times got the TV setup. This being my first time setting up HDMI I figured it would scan the HDMI cable for all the available cable channels when selecting the "auto scan cable channels" - apparently this feature is only available through the coax/RF connection. Pushing the "HDMI Line 1" button switched to the FiOS HDMI connection and everything worked fine after that. The sound is pretty good for a stand alone but hooked it up to the pre-existing sound system. Considering how small the price difference is between a 32" and a 40" it's definitely worth the extra dough, especially if you have a larger living room. This set went in a corner of an 18'x18' room and it absolutely dominates that corner. 40" looks tiny next to the 52, 68 and 72" tvs at the store but when you get it home does it finally dawn on you what sort of monstrosity you've let into your home. 40" might be too large for all but the biggest apartment living rooms, but for a medium to large sized house this is a great size. College kids put your money towards your tuition and get a 32", 40" is way too big for your dorm room. More Reviews
