Summary: Too much picture distortion
Comment: None of the available picture configurations other than 4:3 looks natural, which isn't true of my Samsung 40" set.

Summary: Great Picture...sharp, sharp, sharp.
Comment: Did I say this image was sharp??!! Wow!! Ok, so it's my first LCD/HD TV but I did the research, viewed many at Best Buy side-by-side and the Samsung models looked much better than the others, including the over-rated Sony's. Went home and immediately ordered it from Amazon. Very competitive price, plus free white-glove shipping and no tax.
It arrived two days earlier than expected. CEVA (delivery) called me ahead of time to arrange a four-hour window. They came, brought it in, unboxed it. I held on to the packaging, just in case.
I hooked it up to the Comcast HD box and off I went into the world of home theater entertainment.
There are enough inputs to accomodate anything you want to plug into it. I use the audio out channels to hook up to my Dolby Surround system. I love the concerts, so I'm in heaven.
Did I say the picture is amazing!!!???

Summary: TV's Great, but what about that SHIPPING deal?
Comment: I am one of the most consumer-conscious buyers you are ever going to meet, so Samsung to me is a no-brainer (I am still using a Samsung VCR from over 15 yrs. ago). My concern was the shipping deal... free "white glove delivery?" Well, here's the true low-down as of Saturday July 19th 2008. My HDTV is now 4.5 hours in my possession and I had to make sure the CEVA shipping guys get their props.
Notice that I intentionally wrote the day... Saturday delivery. The tracking went like this: I ordered first thing Wednesday and received a message on my home phone Thurs. before noon to set up an appointment for delivery -- the earliest choices were 9-1 Fri. or 1-5 Sat., I chose the latter, even though I assume that if I were home earlier, that I might have received it later that same day. [note: the origin was in-state]
The CEVA guys left a well-detailed message and I was able to set up an appointment without delay. On the day of delivery, the white-glove guys called at 12:30 pm to let me know that they were behind schedule (they mentioned about a 20-30 min. delay). Since I expected delivery from anytime from 1 to 5, there was definitely no problem -- in fact, I was very impressed with the fact that they were aiming for the 1 pm drop-off time and had the courtesy to call well in advance.
Within the next hour, they called me as promised [about 15 mins.] before arriving at my front door, and before I knew it: the TV was out of the box, on my entertainment shelf, plugged in and operating! The picture is superb, as expected, but what was unexpected was the INCREDIBLE delivery service! Top-class... those other mishaps reviewed might have been rare occurrences, but let me tell you that I cannot be happier! The projected delivery was for Wed. July 23rd, and here I am watching my favorite weekend shows in hi-def! Thanks CEVA!! BTW: just in case you're wondering, no, they don't actually wear "white gloves" :)

Summary: Excellent TV
Comment: I'm very impressed with this television. Great color, contrast, blacks, and set up screens. The remote has a nice backlight that comes on when you use it. The package looks great too. I think the built in speakers are fine, but if you want super hi fi then get an amp and speakers for that. The receiver looks good even on analog signals, so its a 'buy' in my opinion and I'm glad I bought this.
