Great TV, no problems.......2007-06-21

I got one of these at Sam's Club a little over a year ago and it has been awesome since day 1. I have had excellent picture, and no problems at all. I am a med student and always have a movie or something playing on it when I am studying, which is almost all the time.

Defective.......2007-05-29

At first I loved this TV- the picture was amazing. Over time (less than a year) the picture quality has gone down down down. It gets fuzzy (especially when the image is a bright one) and there are bends (bowing) in the image. The "popping" that happens on bright commercials (especially) can be stopped by turning off the "dynamic" picture. I had it repaired, fixed the fuzzy but the repairmen could not get rid of the bowing after 3 hours of work. The fuzzyness is coming back after only a month.

Pluses & minuses.......2007-05-28

Pluses:

-Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) rich colors are better than LCD
-Nice physical design, looks good in the room as a piece of furniture
-Good sound
-Slim fit light-weight for a CRT, fits on smaller surfaces

Minuses:

--Picture is distorted.
--Vertical lines are not vertical. They slant inward as you trace them along upward, then they slant suddently outward near the top. Very annoying to me, even though my wife doesn't seem to mind.
--The very bottom is cut off. For example, when a TV station displays its logo in the bottom corner, you can't see the bottom of it. Not that I care about TV station logos, but I do care about films and I wonder if I am seeing the film as the director truly intended.

Conclusion:

The Samsung is doing its job, but I'll spend more for a SONY next time.

Do Homework Before You Purchase.......2007-05-21

I now kick myself for not buying the Sony. I purchased this set on 1/2/06, I picked it up at Circut City. Recently it did start shutting off randomly as other reviews have indicated. Thankfully I purchased the extended warranty offered through CC. I have a feeling this many people didn't just get lemons, the more recent posts just haven't had their TVs long enough. Purchase at your own risk, and invest in the extra warranty.

What happened??????.......2007-03-28

Ok...I bought this TV from BB between 8 mo. and 1 yr. ago. The TV worked perfectly for quite a while. I turned it on tonight when I got home and the screen is hazy/blurry/cloudy with 100 or so scan lines across it. When I was messing with the adjustments, I changed the color tone to warm 1/2 and the the TV began flashing red. I have not called Samsung or Best Buy yet. Based on everyone's posts about Samsung's poor service and the fact that I cannot locate my receipt, I am not expecting much. I am tempted to just write this one up as a loss, skip the support hassle, and buy a new TV. If I would have read the reviews here I never would have bought this thing!
