3 out of 5 stars good picture but questionable quality control   November 10, 2008
JJ (United States)
I purchased two of these in one day. The first one was basically DOA. Worked for about an hour, then lost picture (no, the timer was not on). Then it would not turn off, had to unplug it to turn it off. Plugged it back in and it was still in the on mode and started making a buzzing sound, I was ready for it to catch on fire. Took it right back and got another one, this one works ok other than the color wheel makes an annoying high pitched sound, like a dog whistle. Drives you nuts. Called Samsung and got a very unhelfpul person who sounded like she was 10 and was clueless and yawned on me while I was talking to her. Too bad this tv has issues because becasue the picture is stunning. The store is all out of them so I am either stuck with it or taking it back for a smaller LCD for more money. I wish Amazon sold this and not through one of their re-sellers, I only deal with amazon. 56 inches is perfect size for me and DLP is best bang for your buck. I would try an LED version but Samsung no longer makes the 56 inch in LED.

UPDATE- 11/18/08
Rec'd another set today hoping that the first set was just defective. Well this set also makes the same high pitched noise. It comes from the color wheel, not the fan. Maybe the people who do not hear this have a hearing problem or I just have good ears (my wife also hears it and finds it annoying). After about an hour it gives you a headache and when you turn the TV off it is such a sound of relief. It is a shame because the picture is beautiful but the annoying sound this TV makes makes it un-watchable. Guess I will have to settle for a smaller 52 inch LCD. Too bad bigger LCD's (55 in an up )are not more affordable.

Just got mine today...four days after ordering! Incredible picture, sleek styling looks great in my living room, and the current financing deal is almost too good to be true. If you're in the market for an HDTV, you can't beat this bang for the buck. Buy it...you won't be disappointed.

The most bang for your buck. Great picture, colors, sounds. A TV this that looks this good, with this size screen, and the price, awesomeness galore! It's almost intoxicating how great this picture is on this thing.

I have been very happy with the quality of this TV as well as the price and service from amazon.com. The shipping was included (with Prime) and the guys set it up and took away the trash. They were also very flexible with my schedule, coming by after 5pm so that I could be home from work.

The TV looks great with my PS3 and the Blu-Ray movies I own. If you have a PS3, get one of these and NOT A PLASMA!!! Plasmas are not meant for games and you risk image burn in. The LCD and DLP TVs are less likely to develop screen retention (which is great for laptops also!).

Well worth the price.
