Excellent TV! You get what you pay for. [Posted on 2008-06-01]
I purchased this TV for 1889 and when Amazon lowered it for 1799 (3 days later), they promptly adjusted the price! CEVA delivered it FASTER than I thought. I was able to schedule a delivery and received it 7 days EARLY! The delivery guy hooked it up so I can test it for any issues. So far so good. The delivery guy suggest I keep the box for 2 weeks just in case any issue occurs. My kids love the TV! The colors are amazing and even though the shows are 60hz (I'll be picking up a Blu-ray to use the 120Hz in full capacity!), its so clear and the contrast is as black as ebony! I'm glad I got the Samsung over the Sony Bravia. I first saw this tv in action from my sister's house and was very impressed! So far Im happy with this TV.
Outstanding style and picture [Posted on 2008-06-15]
A fair amount of research led me to this product and the Samsung's decision to discontinue the model (which drove down the price) made this a great deal. While I was aware of some of the judder issues, the excellent reviews made this one of the few HDTVs I considered. As I was already comfortable with the picture quality and options for all of the products on my list, the deal maker was the styling. I simply liked it better than any other. Now, with it mounted on the wall and hooked up to the home theater system, I'm enjoying it far more than when I scrutinized it at the store.
Love this TV, little hickup with shipping [Posted on 2008-06-17]
I had done a lot of looking for a new TV, I wanted an LCD HDTV but didn't know enough. After reading up I found this one and when the price was right I jumped.
I had a little issue with the shipping, my new TV sat in the warehouse for 4 days while the status while the status was "Contacted for delivery" but I never heard anything. I had to lookup the shipper info and contact them myself. From there everything went smooth.
The TV looks amazing and I've had no issues so far, it's been about a month. I wish there were more component inputs but I knew that when purchasing.
Awesome TV with only minor flaws [Posted on 2008-06-28]
This is by far the nicest tv I have ever owned. It is big, bright, and has a beautiful image. I bought this model specifically for the 120hz Auto Motion Plus. It sounded like a great idea; smooth out the video by adding extra frames. The problem is it ends up making the picture look too good. It's like you are on-set with a videocamera, which pulls you out of the movie and kills the cinematic feel. For live shows like the news or sitcoms I keep the 120hz AMP on, but if I'm watching CSI or a movie I turn it off.
The other reason for buying this tv was to hook up a Home Theater PC. And I must say it is beautiful! Running 1920x1080, the fonts are crisp and readable. I could easily have several browser windows open side by side. I wish I could convince my wife to let me make this my primary desktop display.
DVDs played through VLC look noticeably better than ones played through my standalone DVD player. I assume VLC must be doing some sort of image scaling. Netflix Watch Now videos are not bad, roughly DVD quality. I'm sure once they start offering HD content, this tv will make them look great.
One minor annoyance with this tv is the remote. None of the codes worked for my Toshiba DVD player, and there were no codes at all for my Series 1 Tivo. The only thing it was able to control was my old Samsung VCR. It also lacks a useful feature that my old RCA tv/remote had: when you push one of the device buttons on the remote, it changed the the tv to the corresponding input. The LNT4671F seemed like it would be able to do this, it lets you label each input with what device is attached, but unfortunately it does not actually change the input for you. You have to manually flip through until you have the right one. Not that bad, just a nice touch that could have been added.
Over all I would definitely recommend this tv to anyone. Especially with the price Amazon was offering it for, you can't go wrong.
Great TV [Posted on 2008-07-02]
Samsung is a well-respected brand and I had read reviews of this TV before I bought it. The TV has amazing picture quality. I have a PS3 hooked up to it and BluRay movies along with PS3 games, running in 1080p, look spectacular. The detail is superb and the color/contrast is great. As far as the sound quality goes, I don't really know since I have a home theater system. It has a lot of features and is, as far as I can tell, one of the best TVs for the money out there.
It isn't perfect, however. In my limited experience, the AutoMotion Plus (AMP), which is touted to smooth out the action and reduce blur, has not worked as Samsung claims. In movies it generally makes the slow moving scenes seem surreal and fast moving scenes more blurry. And for games, it seems to make it more choppy, even in Game Mode (which activates AMP). I made sure I have the most recent firmware, too. As I mentioned, I have very limited experience with using the AMP feature, so these issues may possibly be fixed by messing with settings. I mainly wanted 120Hz for the benefit of 5:5 pulldown to smooth out 24fps movies.
All in all, it is a great TV and, despite the AMP issues, it deserves 5 stars.
