    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Rich vibrant color. Deep blacks. Full 1920x1080 computer resolution with DVI to HDMI cable, no overscan. Classy Piano black cabinet.

    Weaknesses:Unlike their previous models, PiP only works with coax cable input. What were they thinking?

    Overall Evaluation: I did a ton of research before purchasing. If you're not aware, Samsung and Sony have a joint venture in Korea where they manufacture the panels together, so this line and the XBR4 Sony are the same panel, just with different guts and cabinet. Sony wanted 300$ more to move from their flat charcoal exterior to the piano black, Samsung's was piano standard. Sony's max dynamic contrast was 18,000, Samsung's was 25,000.I've been using this primarily as a computer monitor and secondarily as a console screen for almost 2 months now. No delay or smearing in high frame rate games like the Sony has been reported to have on the avsforum. As I said in the strengths, the colors are full and clean and the blacks are deep. Anything you throw at this looks amazing. Upscaled DVDs, Wii (obviously pixelated because of the low rez) World of Warcraft, Quake 4, EVE. The pixel size is slightly larger then the 40" model, but thats to be expected because of the overall panel size.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Settings, Connections, Easy of Set-up, Picture Brightness, Auto Motion Plus, Price/Performance

    Weaknesses:Slight delay in remote, sound - these are very minor weaknesses

    Overall Evaluation: I have been seeking a big screen TV for over a year. I read everything I could find on-line (consumer reports, yahoo, amazon, ...), talked with store sales people, with friends who purchased TVs, and anyone else who had an opinion, and made numerous trips to TV showrooms to marvel at the pictures. My decision came down between the Panasonic 50" Plasma and the Samsung 46" xxxx71 series LCD. For TVs in the price range I wanted to consider, Consumer Reports rated the Panasonic and Samsung within the top 3 for their respective category in size. After narrowing down to these two models, I went to see the TVs in person. The Panasonic picture seemed to be a little darker and not as many setting options to control picture. I opted for the Samsung. Here are some of reasons: Picture brightness - great in brightly lit rooms Connections - wealth of connections as many as you need - of every type - usb, hdmi, s-video/audio) Settings - variety of settings (movie, standard, dynamic, game) Auto Motion Plus - adjustment for fast motion - for sports/fast action movement Easy of Setup - took TV out of the box, plugged it in, turned it on for use - very easy Style - TV is sleek and does not overpower the room Price/Performance - w/ everything considered, I felt other TVs could not match I purchased a BluRay player, HDMI cable from Monster Cable, and the movie Pearl Harbor. When I first watched the movie, the picture was so clear, at times, it looked like I was looking out a window. The movie has nature scenes and fast motion - both looked amazing. Sometimes, I found myself paying attention to the details of the movie rather than watching the movie for the story. I signed up for HD service and find the picture to be equally good for HD programming - nature scenes seems to be the best - Discovery Channel. Colors are vibrant, bright, and clear. Two things that could have been better: 1) Slight delay in remote - there is a slight delay from the time the button on the remote is pressed and the TV reaction 2) Sound - sound is adequate - I plan to purchase a sound system to complement the excellent picture. I have heard others complaining of shuttering or "triple effect" when there is fast motion. With the Auto Motion Plus, I have not noticed this. Overall, I feel this TV is the best picture for the price (I purchased from Amazon and was lucky to get the TV for $2k - buy from Amazon - not tax, delivery was free, and best price I could find from a reputable source). When I decided to purchase, I went to the "Big Box" stores and the closest price to Amazon I found was $2400 before tax/delivery. I considered the Samsung xxxx81 series, but the TV would have been $1k to $1.5K more than the xxxx71 series for not much added benefit - biggest benefit that was touted was deeper blacks. Blacks on the xxxx71 series are just fine. If you're considering a large screen TV, give this model/size a look, I don't think you would be disappointed ... I certainly am satisfied - absolutely awesome.

    Strengths: 120Hz, life like viewing

    Weaknesses:glare from glossy screen, Sports

    Overall Evaluation: I sell TVs for a living so i get to see every TV in every situation. Most of the cons that i have read (except for glare) are from people that dont know how to work this TV. Learn how to change the 120HZ to best fit with what you are watching before complaining & you will see what i am talking about.The Samsung 71Fs have the best picture out there. As in life like images there is no other LCD or Plasma that can tough the 71Fs. Put in a Blue-ray movie such as Pearl Harbor or Pirates of the Carabien & turn the 120HZ to high. You will feel like you are there watching it happen in real life. It even makes the children's movie such as Cars look life like.If you are watching Sports then turn the 120hz to low to help with the blurs but the picture still looks almost life like. It doesnt matter what kind of LCD TV, you are still going to get blurrs & tripple ball effects on every LCD (they are not designed for sports) But the 120HZ does help if you know how to use it & the 71Fs allow you to change it to best fit what you are watching unlike other 120Hz LCDs only let you turn it off or on. But if you mostly watching sports then i suggest a Plasma but if you are a Movie buff then i suggest the Samsung 71Fs.I am a big plasma fan & the Samsung 71Fs is the only LCD that i would ever buy over a plasma which i did buy a LNT5271F (52 inch).Here is my best advice & what i did. get both. Put a Samsung 71F in one room for all of your movies & a Plasma in the other room for all of your sports. Both are so light that you can switch the TVs to the room that is best for having friends over. Movie night then bring out the LCD for the Superbowl then bring out the Plasma. But if you cant afford both then i suggest a Sumsung 71F for LCD if not then get a Plasma.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

    Strengths: picture quality, 120 Hz, 1080p, (3) HDMI, Anynet+, motion/refresh

    Weaknesses:sound/speakers

    Overall Evaluation: Overall, I would recommend this TV based on quality, features and price point. I am slightly disappointed with the sound. The speaker sound is directed out through an acoustic chamber that muffles the sound. The TV does have a 5 band equalizer which can mitigate this issue. If an external sound system is used, this issue is moot. Viewing standard DVDs via an up-converting player to 1080i (via HDMI cable) and setting the TV to 'movie' mode provides a one of the best pictures I have seen (near blue-ray quality). I initially was looking at Panasonic plasmas and Sony XBR4s, but settled on the Samsung because I considered the picture quality equal to the Panasonic and Sony, for a better price. Also, I have been very happy with Samsung quality, having used Samsung LCDs for years as monitors for my computers.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Days

    Strengths: Plug and play is great. It took longer to unpack than it did to start watching. This was the easiest unit I ever started. Using my old attic antenna produces a fantastic picture.

    Weaknesses:Haven't found any at this time

    Overall Evaluation: Some of the channels we used to have trouble getting clear picture are now great. Hint: When unpacking just squeeze the white plugs and remove. The top lifts off without cutting the tape.
