Having been an Amazon customer for a long time, I knew better. LOL - a representative with Best Buy tried to tell me that the televisions Amazon sells are used. The best price, no sales tax, and free delivery - Amazon is awesome as always. My wife and I were blown away by the quality of this television. I must say that we were equally impressed with the delivery occuring 2 days earlier than the estimate from Amazon.
Also the PIP function operation is poor and difficult to set up. The manual is not clear as to what component requirements are needed to activate PIP. This TV has an excellent picture but poor, tinny, sound. It requires a separate sound setting when PIP is activated. The W-Link feature works very well to display digital pictures stored on a camera memory or storage device. The sound equalizer needs to be set high on both the low and upper frquencies to produce acceptible audio. A separate sound system would be a plus.
It is not possible to switch between the 2 pix with one click, and you have to perform a separate set of steps if you want sound with the secondary pic. It's not as easy to use as my old tube-type Panasonic. Great picture for HD broadcasts; makes non-HD look only fair in comparison. The picture-in-picture feature is a bit of a dissapointment.
It will work if you want to use an auxillary feed such as a dvd player interfaced with cable TV. Ordered the 37" TV based on space limitations of our existing TV cabinent actually wanted a much larger version for our house and may still get another one around Christmas time. Very Nice Picture quality and sound. Very Good Value $1025, You will be requiring an HDMI cable $60-$90 to connect DVR's, surround sound or other Auxillary devices.Free Shipping>>>Amazon has done it again, Love you Guys.
Currently watching the Bejing Olympic Games and watching a couple of Pre-season Football Games and Very Satisfied with the quality of the the Picture. Thinking about purchasing another Samsung for a different room of the house. Other than that little bit of aggravation attempting to get that particular feature working properly.The TV works great.After playing around with the custom settings on the TV it seems to have a much better picture on "Cinema" setting rather than on Sports or Games setting. I have read the manual on this feature and it appears somewhat nebulous.
We have HD Cox Cable Service> One feature that I was interested in was the P.I.P. If I'm missing something on this, please let me know. We received the TV sooner than expected. But if you are trying to view one cable channel and scan thru the rest of the cable channels or DVR to see what else is on, it won't allow it.
Not sure Why. Great Value for the money. feature of this TV but apparently that feature is not able to work properly with digital feed cable.
It has all the features I want, all the inputs I need, looks great and fits in the space I need it to fit. Samsung finally came out with a 37" and I know I'd be happy getting this. I've owned this for about two months and I'm satisfied in every way. It's the perfect size for a smaller room or a room as big as a living room. The price on amazon is an amazing deal and these TV's have finally reached the somewhat affordable price of $1k. I will make note though that I had to return two of these TVs (not through amazon) due to one having a speaker pop problem and the other having a stuck pixel in the center of the screen. That was a hassle and has to do with quality control, but the unit itself is great.
