Great TV August 27, 2008
Nice TV and I had no problems with Amazon's delivery service. I almost went somewhere else to buy the TV because of all the bad press that their delivery service got but it was a nice experience.

I have been using the TV over a month, the picture is OK. The major problems of the TV are the remote controller is quite funny, no 2 much useful buttons and it DOESN'T WORK away 3 feet ( or 150' )

comparing with Sony, Samsung is quite poor. However, I paid the money for Samsung only, not Sony. :) I should add $200 to buy sony 40' v series.

Great Product with a bonus August 26, 2008
I have owned this set for one month and have nothing but praise for it. I purchased this set from Amazon, and it was shipped quickly. The CEVA personnel unpacked and hooked it up. They waited while I inspected the set to make sure it worked properly and that there were no defective pixels. There weren't any.

The picture is top notch. I recently visited a friend who had a new Sony HDTV. While the picture on his set was very nice, I did notice that the blacks seem much deeper on the Samsung. It seems to me, that the colors, in general, are a bit richer on the Samsung than they are on the Sony.

I have seen many comments complaining about the sound. If you're expecting a top rate sound experience you might be disappointed. However, the sound on this set is better than on the set I replaced. Compared to my friend's Sony, I didn't notice any appreciable difference in the sound. Of course, that might be my old ears not being able to tell the difference. If I feel the need for better sound, I'll purchase a sound system. I think most people who want the best sound experience do this anyway.

This set apparently has a built in QAM tuner. Although I have not seen it specifically stated that it has this feature, the owners manual states that you can receive HD-digital channels without a set-top box. What that means is you can receive non-scrambled HD digital channels having only a regular (non-digital) cable subscription. The number of channels will vary from area to area. Some providers may scramble all HD-digital channels. If this is the case, this feature will not work. In my area, the local channels are not scrambled and can be viewed in HD.

I was not aware of this fact when I purchased the set. I think others may also be surprised to learn this. So there you go, free HD. That's a nice little bonus I did not expect.

Pretty spiffy! August 26, 2008

I've always liked Samsung products and this was no exception. I think this is the highest quality you can get for the money. I debated sizes for quite awhile but am extremely happy with the 40". I feel it's very versatile for different rooms. It currently sits in my living room where we watch it at a distance of about eight feet.

Some reviews say the sound quality is poor and while I admit it's not like having real speakers, I think it's acceptable. While I wouldn't say I'm an authority on sound, I am a music teacher and still possess a great amount of hearing.

The picture is very clear, be it DVDs, stations picked up over the air (yes, I'm using rabbit ears...too cheap for cable), or video games. My wii looks very nice in HD, as does the ps2.

Delivery was exceptional. The TV was delivered four days after my order and the delivery man set it up and confirmed that it worked. They even were very flexible with the delivery, working with my work schedule and giving me a 2 1/2 hour window instead of the standard four.

Also, I must say I love Amazon's 30 day price guarantee. So far I've shaved $20 off the original price I paid. I hope I'm not annoying Amazon too much by calling in for a $1.93 price change :)

Great TV, great price. The remote is pretty nice too.

Why did I wait so long! August 25, 2008
Let me start by saying that I'm a little late getting into the whole HD thing, and also new to Amazon.com. I was searching for the right model for a while and after reading previous reviews I decided on this Samsung, and I am definitely not dissapointed. The picture is amazing and it is very user friendly. I recently watched Batman Begins on Blu ray and I cannot describe how different the experience is. It's almost like watching a movie for the first time again.

Thank you Amazon.com for not only offering great products for a great price, but also for outstanding service.
