"Jawdropping - Simply Amazing - It must be the mirrors ;-)"

by gbcox on August 10, 2008

Pros: Picture Quality, Build Quality, Power Consumption, Connectivity, Menu System, Size, Price, Weight

Cons: Viewing Angle and you can't hang it on a wall (neither of which matter to me)
Summary: I consider myself fairly picky when it comes to video quality and I have to say that this TV has exceeded all of my expectations. I've read all the reviews and decided to take the leap, against the advice of all my friends that said: get LCD, get Plasma. One weird thing I noticed was while it looks OK at the store, it is simply spectacular when you get it in your home. Several other reviews mentioned the same thing, and it's true. Yes, there is the viewing angle issue for rear projection, but that isn't a problem for me - and the picture is unbelievable - intense rich accurate color, tremendous blacks, excellent sharp detail... you'd have to spend $5000 or more to get this size and picture quality in a plasma or LCD, and I've looked at those and prefer the picture quality of this DLP. The LCD engine will last the life of the TV, you don't need to worry about bulb replacements and this is probably the greenest TV you can buy energy consumption wise... about 120 watts when on and less than a watt when in standby. Samsung absolutely did their homework when engineering this TV. Unless you are intending to hang it on a wall, or have the need to have people sit outside normal viewing positions it is an absolute no brainer, you should definitely buy this TV. This TV has a better picture than others costing thousands more...and it is simply an astonishing value.

How far off angle can someone sit and still have a good view?
