Great television for the price – Frank Chen – Santa Barbara, CA United States
I bought this television before Christmas Eve for about [...] from Sears with Bing Cashback. It was such a great deal. Out of the box, the picture quality is not great because you have to adjust the settings. I recommend going to [...] and looking up Samsung settings. I was able to use a setting for one of the Samsung televisions and the picture quality looked great. On the PS3, Modern Warfare 2 looks awesome. So does Dragons Age I might add. I think the people who are complaining about picture quality are not putting in the proper settings to show the true picture quality of the television.
this is what a value TV should be, and comparison with Sony 46W5150 – Dakishimesan – San Francisco, CA USA
In the last three months of this year (2009) I did hours worth of research deciding on which 2 LCD TV’s to buy: a 46″ for myself that I planned to do all kinds of crazy things with including hooking up my computer via DVI->HDMI, using a roof-mounted antenna for the over-the-air tuner, using with a HTPC, etc; and a 40″ for my mom and dad that would simply offer great picture quality.
For myself, I bought the Sony 120hz 46W5150 Bravia Engine 3 1,000,000:1 contrast; and for mom and dad, this TV, ths Samsung 40b500.
The result is that this TV (Samsung) is perfect for mom and dad, and in truth probably would have satisfied me too.
Both are exceptionally vibrant and clear. My Sony TV offers a few shades deeper (almost perfectly pure) black level, but this Samsung is almost there with deep/rich blacks. If you are downgrading from a 120hz TV to the Samsung, you will notice the lack, but if you’ve only ever had a CRT or 60hz LCD I do not personally believe 120hz justifies a lot more money, but this is personal preference. Speakers are comparable. My Sony offers 8+ inputs including 4 HDMI, this Samsung only has 2 HDMI and 1 component/composite shared.
I could go on an on making technical comparisons, but I think the most helpful info I can share is that, having lived with and loved my Sony W-Series for a few months (a mid to top of the line unit), this Samsung offers 80-90% of the black level, contrast, and beautifully sharp image at about 50% of the price.
The low number of inputs is not an issue if you are aware of it beforehand. I hooked my parents cable box up to the component, their DVD player to the HDMI 1, and the Roku HD player to HDMI 2. If they get a blu-ray player, it will replace the DVD player on HDMI 1.
excellent – jama – sweetwater,tn usa
Excellent TV for the money. I suggest you have high definition cable/satelite or other wise the picture quality is a “little” grainy. We thought we had HDMI reciever and did not, but when we got new one from directtv, the quality was excellent. I highly recommend this product.
