User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Totally satisfied
We are very happy with the purchase of our 46″ Samsung through Amazon. Not only is the picture great, but the price and service was excellent.

1 Star I hate it – and I hate Samsung.
I purchased this television in early August and it was broken out of the box – bad LCD panel. I contacted Samsung and they talked me through troubleshooting tasks ad nauseum before, a month later, they had a technician come and take the television away. I now realize that Samsung was playing for time to exhaust the return period. What I am told now is that Samsung will not replace the television unless I have to have it repaired three times. The technician still has the television and doesn’t anticipate getting the parts to fix the television until maybe sometime next week – that’s a direct quote. I will never, ever, not ever purchase another Samsung product. I am making payments on a television that has spent more time in the repair shop than it has in my home. Beware.

5 Stars Satisfied
I think this is a great purchase. I’m glad I got the “630″ because it operates at 120 Hz & I haven’t detected a blur in the picture. While I appreciate being able to choose between 3 sizes of text on the DIGITAL stations, I wish the same were true about the ANALOG stations. I only wish it had some kind of Channel Labeling to be used on the apparently unlimited “Favorite Stations” you can list. It would be a great help when checking out your favorite stations. If it’s there, I can’t find it. Other than that, I can’t find anything negative to say about this item. I’ll only add that in choosing between 40″ & 46″, I’m glad I opted for the larger & you should have a couple of adults on hand for removal from the carton & set-up. While it’s not that heavy, it is a bit large for one person. Also, get an appropriate Surge Protector, so as not to have any warranty problems.

5 Stars Great TV
Beautiful picture. We have lots of windows and there is hardly any glare on the screen on sunny days. The sound system is plenty adequate unless you want a surround system. Remote is easy to use and intuitive. Would definitely buy another Samsung TV.

5 Stars Great TV, Great delivery, Great setup
This is a great TV. Has everything I wanted plus everything needed! Amazon delivered very quickly. Received TV 4 days after ordering. It was great to have it brought in and connected. Couldn’t have asked for more, especially at such a great price. Amazon gets two thumbs up on this one!!!

5 Stars Fantastic Monitor
I did a HUGE amount of research to find the best 22″ computer monitor under $300. The sound is not great (no bad either), but I did not buy it to be a HDTV. It works perfectly. The remote is intuitive, the buttons on the side allow you to switch between monitor and TV very easily. It comes with both VGA and DVI (male-male) cables and it overall a fantastic product. This is the best 22″ monitor for under $300 and it just to happens to be a television too.

4 Stars Good for a small bedroom or office
Pretty satisfied with this product. Had to adjust color and brightness control to get a good picture. My husband says picture is still too small for his satisfaction but I find it just fine for the bedroom. Still haven’t figured out how to program my remote to use my video player (not so easy according to the directions)

3 Stars Good Picture but speechless
Connection was a breeze but no sound. Nothing i tried worked. Someone please tell me what to do. Picture quality is great.

4 Stars Great Product
I ordered this monitor as a 2nd screen for my bedroom, I hooked up my 2nd Blu-ray player & 2nd PS3 to it. It looks great,and is very sleek looking. It is a “computer monitor” so it doesn’t have the ability to wall mount so it just sits on my dresser. The plastic stand worried me in the beginning but after a couple of late nights “bumps” into the dresser the stand held firm. It is a great purchase for the price. It has the connection form the coaxial cable and a built in digital tuner….I have not used them since the main purpose was just for the Blu-ray & PS3 not cable. My friend saw it and immediately bought one for herself & her daughters rooms.

4 Stars Samsung TV
Everything came on time as promised and was quick to set up. The picture as usual is amazing but the sound as other reviews have noted is tinny to fair. Still for a birthday present for the wife so she can watch tv in the kitchen it rocks. She uses it every day so mission accomplished. Thanks Amazon.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great HDTV
The Samsung 32-inch shows extremely beautiful colors. The only thing that bugs me is the Red Touch of Color. I have yet to see the color red around my tv but otherwise it’s a great LCD.

4 Stars Missing red touch of color
TV works fine, but this one, made in Mexico, does not have the red touch of color which it is supposed to have, and that was very diappointing as that was one of the reasons we picked this particular set.

1 Star A miserable experience
My 32 inch Samsung LCD was great for five months then died a spectacular death. While watching it one day, a huge spark arced out of the top of the TV, and it was absolutely dead. That was the start of my trouble as warranty service was horrendous. I made nearly two dozen phone calls to Samsung, their warranty service contractor and the various technicians. Scheduled service visits would result in no one showing up. It took nearly a month and a half to get replacement parts installed. I’ll never buy a Samsung product again.

4 Stars Good value
TV was delivered in a few days, Free delivery, Men were careful,courteous, thorough, put stand together, placed it, connected as needed. TV is just right for me, great picture. I’m no connoisseur but I love it. A good value since it also included a blu-ray DVD player. I find Amazon a great place to shop.

4 Stars excellent product, except for viewing size of photo picture can’t extend to full screen !! extend to full screen
The picture quality is excellent, except when you view the photos taken from camera, the picture size can not extend to the full size of the screen, this is one demerit of this TV. I don’t know if other brand LCD TV has the same problem, but not my Apple laptop computer. I hope SamSung should try to solve this problem !

5 Stars Great TV
Another excellent, high quality Sony Bravia. Everything it claims to do it does and does even does it better. This makes a perfect bedroom TV. Installation was simple, although except for the power cord, there was no cabling included. Make sure you connect any antenna you have before you turn it on for the first time. What more can you say, it’s a Sony Bravia.

4 Stars Sony 22″ LCD HDTV
Very nice TV; just wish I didn’t have to buy it online, but it apparently is not available for purchase at a store.

5 Stars Great Product
Sleek design, and the picture quality is excellent although you may have to fine tune the color to suit your preferences. Easy to install with one caveat – I didn’t have the antenna ready when I began the automatic installation, and there was no way to return to the beginning, so I was stuck and had to get some help to continue. The operational manual didn’t cover this, either. My advice is to have everything ready before you hit the ‘on’ switch to set up the first time. That’s my only gripe – other than that, the picture and sound quality are excellent for the size and there are loads of options available for watching. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

5 Stars excellent product
terrific picture quality — easy to install — initial setup is fully automated although it picks up a gazzillion channels including two for each of those channels having HD [so a next step requires deleting bunches of channels picked up during the initialization ]

has all the features that anyone but a total geek would want — the adjustments and selections are simple to incorporate

all in all — a well engineered product

5 Stars Great TV, Great features
I’m not geek, but I know a good TV when I see it. Picture quality is much better than my old HDTV, and brighter too. Love the sound features. Easy hookup. I now have 3 LG tvs in my home (42, 32, and 20) so I guess I’m now a loyal LG customer.

5 Stars LG 42LH40 is everything I hoped for…
I’ve had this tv for about 4 months now and it is everything I wanted in an HDTV. The picture is crystal clear out of the box and even though you are suppose to calibrate these tvs, I haven’t had a need to do so. I wanted at least a 42 inch HDTV, LCD (to avoid plasma glare), 120 HZ to avoid motion blur, and under $1300. I looked at a few Samsungs and Sonys but both brands go from 40 inches to 46. I also considered a 46 inch Sharp but wasn’t impressed with the video quality. So the LG 42LH40 is what I bought.

The screen is bright and beatiful and sports in high-def look amazing. The menus are clear and intuitive which makes changing settings a breeze. The remote isn’t anything fancy but I do like the large input button that allows you to quickly switch between devices by displaying large icons that represents your inputs with the active inputs in color. The tv has a on off indicator on the lower right hand side that glows blue when off and red when on. This light also does a little Knight Rider type animation when the tv has been turned on and is warming up. Blue-Ray movies give you the best picture, then high-def tv, then upconverted dvds, then standard-def tv. Standard-def looks pretty crummy but that is to be expected on any large HDTV. Sound is also pretty darn good to be coming from built speakers.

Overall

Pros – Picture, menus, # of inputs, sound, style

Cons – Remote isn’t backlit

5 Stars Great value, excellent LCD for bright rooms
Very happy with this TV after three weeks of use. Wanted a decently priced LCD for my family room which gets a good amount of sunlight (even with blinds closed). LG 42LH40 didn’t disappoint! We primarily use the set for television (AT&T Uverse) and Xbox 360 games/Netflix. HD sports are outstanding and Xbox games are razor sharp. I’ve seen virtually no motion blur from either input.

Setup was simple, plug in the HDMI cables and go. Training the Uverse remote to control the set was painless. Colors were outstanding out of the box in “Natural” mode and the automatic tuning wizard was very easy to follow.

Only small negative so far is mediocre black level. It’s noticeable at night when watching a movie, but I’ve never been distracted by it. Several “professional” reviews knock this set for black levels but I honestly don’t see the big deal. If you want deep blacks, buy a plasma.

Definitely recommend this set to anyone looking for a great value in the 40″ LCD range. Amazon ordering and shipping were great. Shipping company called to confirm my selected appointment and showed up on time.

5 Stars The Dream Machine
Well,after my youngest daughter bought her 6th HDTV and USES all 6 of them, I figured it was time Dad bought his first. I own a computer store so I researched very completely the different brands out, there which all claim to be the best.Forget the hype, this LG 42″ seemed to make the best sense to me for the features it offered for the price. It arrived a day early which pleased me and set-up was even easier than imagined. The sound is as the old hippies said is FAR OUT DUDE!! The picture is PERFECT! NO doubt in my mind that research paid off big time. At 36 pounds, a kid could install this Flat Panel. The only draw back is that 12 hrs later it was $60 less. But had I known how much I would love it, I’d have bought it even sooner. My 4+YR old RCA is now in the bedroom. It too,has a great picture for a 27″ Big Box TV with very good speakers. Sorry ’bout your luck old faithful, but the LG is my new love! Buy it and love it, it don’t get any better than this. D. Diel New Mexico
