Samsung LNT4642H 46-Inch LCD HDTV by Samsung

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic picture, November 28, 2007
Excellent picture, excellent colors. There's just nothing bad to say about this TV. I wish that the rear inputs were a bit better positioned, but that's just a nitpick as they're easily accessible. The standup mount that it comes with is easily removed if you want to wall mount it, and it's quite sturdy.

This TV is also compatible with Samsung's $600 powered wall mount, which is frankly incredible and well worth it. Normally a powered wall mount runs around $1500 or more and requires a separate remote. Samsung's powered wall mount costs less than half that, works with the TV remote, and has 3 preset positions to move the TV into. It will even go back to flush with the wall when… Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Works brilliantly, November 28, 2007
I hate reviews that don't tell you what you need to know, so here's what you need to know:

- Attaching it to the wall can be done by screws or by using the included adhesive. The adhesive is a silicone based stuff that, once attached, pretty much isn't going anywhere ever. So if you stick it up, get it right the first time, it's not coming back off.

- The three units are individually removable from the base unit for easy refilling; they just slide off and on. These units can also be purchased separately if you accidentally break one.

- Priming the pumps is tricky at first. Follow directions precisely, you have to press the button in, cover the outlet… Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Are you kidding me?, November 19, 2007
The product has considerable drawbacks, any one of which is a deal-breaker.
1. Black and white display
2. No WiFi, uses EVDO instead like the cell phone network (EVDO is slower than WiFi, and WiFi works in more places in urban environments)
3. Integrated book purchasing system locking you to a provider
4. Difficult/impossible to read non-DRM or free books (Project Gutenberg) I already own in text and PDF formats

I mean, really, are you guys joking? Other than the e-ink display, this thing looks like technology that has already failed in the marketplace. Twice.

Previous attempts at e-books didn't fail because of battery life or display… Read more
