4.0 out of 5 stars Great TV for the size and price, July 31, 2008
This review is from: Samsung LN40A530 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics)
Had this TV for about 1 month now. Got at BJs, delivered for under $1200. Set up pretty simple. I used the THX Optimizer which is found on most Lucas DVDs such as any Star Wars. So far, Id say the picture is great. Normal cable is what it is, its ok. But I have HD programming and a PS3, which I use for Blue Ray disks. HD looks great! Ive seen so many posts on the net that say 1080 on a TV less that 42 in is not noticable...well, thats BS. I can see a huge difference and the HD and Blue rays look very nice. Also, with 5ms response time, I have no blurring or ghosting when I game, and I play a lot of fast race games.

Pros - Great picture and easy to set up.

Cons - Only one so far is the remote needs to be aimed right at the TV or it wont work.

If a 40 In TV will fit your needs( I have a 800 SF apt, and this TV is a perfect fit), you cant go wront with this TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent initial impression, June 12, 2008
This review is from: Samsung LN40A530 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics)
I've had this 1080p/20000:1/5ms/60Hz LCD for a week and my initial experience is extremely satisfactory. It performs as advertised for HDTV, DVD, & PC (haven't tried gaming yet). Works great in a brigth room. No pixelation in fast scenes. Easy access menus. Plenty of inputs for my needs. Looks great.

After offers and coupons, my total price at a local B&M store was $1,356 including the LCD, a sleek Samsung 1080 up-conv. DVD player, a 4-year extended warranty and taxes. Can't complain!

Minor cons: Below average sound. Remote control must be carefully aimed at the front of the TV, very narrow angle of operation.

Bottom line: If a 40-inch screen size is enough for your viewing needs, this unit holds its own against any other top competitor brands in this category.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung LN40A530 40-inch 1080p LCD HDTV, August 4, 2008
This review is from: Samsung LN40A530 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics)
Samsung LN40A530 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

What a bargain. I went shopping for a Sony and ended up with this great TV. Everything is there for your needs. I have no reason to connect my laptop, but it will do that if you want.

The picture is stunning. I compared this to the more expensive models in both Samsung and Sony, and didn't notice much difference.

The sound is exceptional, so I don't run it through my system except for some movies. There are three energy saving modes. I have mine set at medium at night. If you have the setting off, it's brilliantly blinding! You need to have additional lighting on.

A great value, great picture (5 ms), and great sound. The manufactures website hasn't caught up with certain stats, so don't rely on everything you read on there site.



Why spend more!
