    Duration of ownership:7 Days

    Strengths: Great picture, Great sounds, high contrast, very easy to setup, sleek design, good TV reception

    Weaknesses: Not yet

    Overall Evaluation: First saw this at Frys, next to other well known models and immediately set my eyes on this. The quality of the picture is so crisp and vivid. After doing more research, I decided to take this one home for my party planned that night. It was the right decision. It sleek look just make my newly remodeled house more valuable. I hooked up my antenna which doesn't get good reception and whoala, 60+ HDTV & standard channels came up. Everyone at the party (40 or so) was so impressed with the movies picture and the TV channels' quality. The setup menu is very easy once you know how to navigate. The sound quality is just great for TV speakers although it can't beat my 5.1 surround sound system. My on demand ABC news on sbc yahoo internet(which doesn't look that great on my LCD laptop) looks better and adequate via the VGA connection on the TV. So far, I feel very good about this product.

    Strengths: - Sleak Design- Picture/Color quality- Easy set up

    Weaknesses: -None

    Overall Evaluation: I searched for an HDTV in a price range I could afford. $2500 was my max, and even if I was to spend more, I still would have chosen the Samsung. It did however, fit perfectly into my price range and had superior picture quality and looks compared to other sets priced over $3000. It has a cablecard slot which will be great for the future, as right now it does not allow for interactive feature from your Cable Company, such as On Demand, PPV, and the interactive TV Guide. The design has the screen surrounded by a black border, which give the impression of a floating image which is very cool. The speakers are on the bottom as opposed to the sides, which makes this TV much sleaker than others. The picture quality is great right out of the box as I was sitting about 2 feet away from the screen in High Def mode and was blown away. Crispness and color was perfect. It also has an auto pixel shift which helps prevent the notorious burn in factor known on Plasma TV's. I highly recommend this TV!!!
