Strengths: 3 HDMI inputs, as well as a wealth of other inputs. PC games played very well. Swivel stand, overall clean and classy style.
Weaknesses:QAM tuner can be a bit sketchy sometimes (see comments).
Overall Evaluation: My setup has my PC hooked up to the Samsung via DVI-HDMI. Pictures, videos, and games look top notch. I was really impressed with the image quality of games at 1080p, plus no artifacts or smearing. Initially, the QAM tuner was able to pick up only a few "in-the-clear" (e.g. local and unencrypted)cable HD channels on the first pass. After a few more attempts I now pick all in-the-clear. On a few occasions, the channel number will change, but according to several online resources, I believe it has more to do with Comcast than the tuner (what else is new??). I am very happy with this TV, especially for the price.

Strengths: easy setup, great picture, great price
Weaknesses:sound is not as i would want, but it isn't that bad.
Overall Evaluation: This lcd is a great television, the picture is just amazing,and enjoy the many hdmi ports. The only thing that i am having problems so far with is hooking up the dvi (laptop), but maybe i am just playing around it just wrong. But everything on the tv is just plug and watch. The sound is average, it is not as bad as people say, but to tell the truth, if you are planning on going home theater style, the sound from the tv won't even matter. great tv, it is a must buy for the price and quality.

Strengths: 1. Picture was great without the HD cable hookup.2. Now have HD and the picture is awesome!3. Easy setup4. Great looking unit
Weaknesses:1. The manual is intimidating (but you really don't need it)2. Onboard Sound is adequate (doesn't match quality of picture)3. Channel change slower than desired
Overall Evaluation: There are a lot of 40" TVs out there right now. I focused on this one after a top rating in Consumer Reports and on comments in PriceGrabber reviews. Thanks to PriceGrabber I was able to save an additional $300! The set is as good as everyone says it is. Ignore the thick manual and just use it as a reference. I just hooked everything up, turned the set on, followed the onscreen prompts, and the unit worked great. The picture was great without the HD hookup from our cable company. We just added that this week and the picture went to awesome. We watched the Green Bay playoff game in the snow yesterday in HD and couldn't believe the quality of the image. We've had great luck with Samsung products in the past. This is our first Samsung TV and we are impressed.

Strengths: Brilliant picture, unbelievable clarity, perfect size and lots of inputs
Weaknesses:none found yet
Overall Evaluation: This is my first HDTV so I'm somewhat novice when it comes to looking at other sets. Although I looked at several other sets before I chose this one but settled on the Samsung because of the quality reputation and the fact it fits perfectly into my existing TV cabinet. Since the speakers are on the bottom of the set I was able to get 40" instead of 37" into the space. The 3" makes a big difference, in fact it is the only 40" that is 38.5" wide. At the same time I bought the TV I switched to Directv and the HD signal it produces is unbelievable. Even the sports and fast action looks great. It looks much better when you are some distance away for the TV not right on top of it. Since my chair is 8-10 feet back I don't notice any blurring and the picture is very crisp. The Non-HD channels look pretty good too. It has lots of inputs too - 3 HDMIs which is key, the PC DV connector and the USB connection is handy for viewing pictures, mp3, etc. Picked in up at circuit city for $1400 in early Jan 2008. If you considering this set - it's worth every penny.
