5.0 out of 5 stars Great value for money, July 17, 2008
By canyon trip (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung LN46A530 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics)
The LCD panel on this TV is the same as the one on A550 model. Several people have confirmed with Samsung. The difference in contrast ratio versus A550 is a typo apparently.

What I like about this tv:
-great picture quality (search avs forum for professionally calibrated settings for this TV. It made a significant difference in picture quality
- good sound for everyday tv watching
-good quality ATSC/QAM tuner ( I pulled in channels that I didn't I had)

comparison vs A550:
+ better sound because of side mounted speakers
+ cheaper (though amzn had A550 for less than A530 at one point last month :)
- does not have wiselink (view photos/mp3s from usn thumb drive)

I dont care about viewing photos/mp3s too much so I went with the A530.

Update:
TV died on Jan 9 2009 (less than 5 months). The red power light keeps blinking and there is a flickering sound every few minutes. Amazon.com would not help after >30 days, so I called Samsung. They took down the info and sent it to a local repair shop (Precision TV in SF bay area). They still have not called me about it after 3 days <sigh>.
Now I wish I had purchased it at a local B&M shop with an extended warranty. I would have got a loaner at least. Now I am stuck with bad customer service. Pretty disappointed with Samsung quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Star TV, July 11, 2008
This review is from: Samsung LN46A530 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics)
Hi Everyone,

We recently purchased this TV, and I have to say it is GREAT. We got it primarily for our photography business - basically, to use it as a giant monitor for editing and to show photographs to clients. It is the exact look and feel we were going for.

So far, everything has worked out perfectly. Particularly, it looks wonderful with our iMac putting video out to it at 1920x1080 @ 60 hertz via HDMI (mini-dvi to DVI to HDMI). It looks great as well with our Compaq PC laptop hooked up through VGA - again at 1920x1080 @ 60 hertz. I honestly don't see a difference on this model through VGA vs. HDMI, but I haven't run any comparison tests yet.

The sound is really decent on this TV. We can set it at a volume to comfortably here it at 30 feet away without maxing out the volume. Though, we can also hook it up to our sound system to put out more sound / bass. It does have optical sound out which works just fine for this (or you could use the standard RCA red & white audio out).

The display itself is absolutely crisp. We haven't tried customizing it yet, but there are a good bit of options for that as well. To give you an idea, a photograph on our 20" iMac looks just as good (if not better) on the 530 Samsung. There's no loss of color, blacks, or details. Originally, the images on the TV seemed to have a sharpening affect applied - we took down the sharpness on the Samsung and it is now spot on.

I'd easily recommend this TV to anyone. It has all the inputs and outputs you'd need. The display is absolutely great (on par with an Apple screen - which is saying a lot). It has a nice, sleek feel to it (even the buttons are recessed and don't poke out). It is easy to use.

Oh, one note: it is a 60 htz tv, not 120 htz. For us, we didn't want or need the 120 htz as we're primarly working with photographs. Really, movies and TV are still at 24 fps and 29.97 fps ... it'll be quite a while before they go higher than that (to 60 htz or 120 htz) ... at the moment I believe 120 htz movies are actually at 24 fps and then the 120 htz tv displays 5 frames per actual frame to make the movie appear smoother. Just some tech talk there.

- Spencer

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV, August 9, 2008
By Candy K. Paselk (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung LN46A530 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics)
Samsung LN46A530 46-inch 1080P LCD HDTV

I was a little apprehensive about ordering an item like this online. Amazon's price beat out the local places that I checked out so I went for it.
I must say it was delivered earlier than expected and the guys set it up for us. This tv is great. Very clear picture. No complaints at all. There was a little band at the top like white pixels on the picture and I had read a review on some tv complaining about it so I was a little nervous. We read the manual and it told us how to tune the tv so the problem disappeared. Just an adjustment problem, not a problem with the tv. We bought a JVC a few months ago and were very happy with it till we got this one. This one is a much clearer, more vivid picture. I would highly recommend this tv, amazon, and their delivery service. This was a very good purchase experience.
