This tv comes with the wrong size screws to screw the base together and screw the base to the tv. How stupid is that? Maybe someone at Samsung will read this and figure out that they should include the correct screws. I can’t comment on the quality of the picture or anything else about the tv, because I can’t assemble it, because the screws are the wrong size. Seriously. Well, I’m off to the hardware store to try to find the right screws.

Wow, I was worried about ordering such a large item over the internet to be delivered but our TV sound went out and we were short of time. I figured I’d get it delivered and then at the first possible chance, somehow get it set up.
Was I delightfully surprised when the delivery came, the delivery gentleman not only brought it in, but unpacked it and set it up and made sure it was working and I was happy with it before they left. I was seriously impressed with not only the 42″ screen TV but with how little work I had to do to enjoy it. Everyone I’ve told has been impressed as well and much more interested in looking online for items like this.
Thanks for a great product and even greater delivery service behind it.

I had some concerns regarding; 1) 720p resolution, and 2) a plasma television, based on pro LCD hype. After doing some independent research, I decided to give it a try. One month after receiving the TV, I am extremely happy that I did. It took a little tweaking over a few evenings to get the picture exactly to my liking. No buzzing, really no issue with the ambient lighting in the room, and the sound is remarkably good, for what has to be extremely small speakers. The ONLY negative that I could find, is the fact that the audio output is fixed, not controlled by the volume control. My suggestion to anyone considering this set – don’t wait, order it now.

Not only did I receive free shipping, It arrived in less than 2 days. The samsung brand of high definition tv’s are so far superior to other brands in many categories. Color quality is unmatched and the tv itself is easy to hook up and user friendly. A pleasure owning my samsung. I get compliments from friends and family all the time.

I bought this TV to replace a philips 32 inch LCD HDTV. I’m an avid gamer so playing games was going to be my primary usage for this TV while watching TV/Movies/Netflix/etc would be secondary. So far I really like this TV. The video quality really blew me away! Colors were so much more vibrant compared to my older LCD set. It has a nice shiny almost mirror finish on it while the remote has a more matte finish. I was a bit concerned about burn-in but this TV has various anti-burn functions built in and after several long sessions of gaming (most lasting over 5 hours) I have not noticed anything. The sound is not necessaily bad but could be better. It’s not that the TV has low sound but rather has flat sound, espicially the factory settings (most noticeable when gaming),where the sound doesnt quite have that “pop” you would expect. I found that after adjusting the sound settings, I got some pretty enjoyable sound but dont expect surround sound. Now this TV is not without its flaws either. The biggest flaw I would say is that when mounted to a wall, the buzzing/humming sound is more noticeable espicially when the sound is low. This is due to the technology of Plasma TV’s. Plasma TV’s always produce a very low buzzing/humming sound which is normal but when mounted it echoes a bit off the wall so it sounds a bit louder than normally but this can be remedied by using the stand/base rather than mounting it. Keep in mind that I’m a very observant person so I tend to notice things that other people don’t notice so it might not be too big of an issue for others. Overall, this is an excellent Tv which anyone can enjoy. Dont let some misconceptions about HDTV’s turn you off from buying this Tv espicially since its so affordable compared to similar TV’s. 1080 is nice but not a necessity; you will be shocked how great 720 looks. If you are a gamer, your Plasma screen will not burn in because you play your games (unless you leave your game paused and the static image is on screen for several hours or something). Also, for anyone buying a HDTV, please take into considerations the appropriate size/distance ratio as it will help you choose an appropriately sized HDTV which will enhance your viewing experience (Bigger is not necessarily better).
