Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color

Comment: I want anyone reading to know I am a TV nut and early HDTV adopter. The slightest picture imperfection (excessive grain, inaccurate color, color bleeding, etc...) will drive me crazy and I am happy to report this Samsung has displayed none. This is my 3rd HDTV purchase and first in the 1080p 120+hz era.

Got my hands on a this set last week for under $650. Hooked it up, calibrated with DVE and all I can say is WOW.

Needed very little tweaking out of the box (Movie Mode). Picture is outstanding. Anyone in the market for a TV of this size should not hesitate.

Colors are spot on. Blacks and whites are very good (after calibration). Gray scale is very accurate (after calibration). Screen uniformity is also very good.

Still playing with 120hz motion control. I think I like soap opera effect (at least when watching cable).

Blu-rays really look outstanding. You will not get a better TV in this price range.

Comment: I love the tv, it was exactly as described; however there is one major issue with the tv that people should know. This tv has the power button on the front bottom part of the tv, but it is not a button you push in; it is a button that is I think heat sensitive because you have to press power sign on the glass which is hard to see unless your looking straight at it. Think of the tv as a rectangle and on the bottom part of the rectangle smack dab in the middle is on button sensor. This is not in the manual which makes it even worse when trying to figure it out. I believe that was the only poor thing about it. I wish the picture and picture worked with TV to TV, not just component to TV and it doesn't work great with cable unless you play around ALOT with the picture stuff like sharpness and color, etc.

Also, if you have an xbox, please realize that it can only go to 60hz so don't get the tv if your getting it mainly for gaming purposes.

With the delivery, it took like 2 weeks when it said I would get it within 4 days. I didn't mind too much because the shipping was free, so can't really complain they sent a 40 inch for free. The shipping people were really nice when they scheduled the drop off and they were right on time. I would buy from them again.

Comment: This is one amazing TV! The picture is unbelieveable! I went from a 32" to a 40" and couldn't be happier. Easy set up! The matt screen is a must for my sunroom. Takes up very little room and even when not on it look great! Very sleek. My daughter has the 46" and loves hers also. The 40" fit my room size better. Clear picture from any seat in the room. I shopped around and couldn't match the price + free shipping not to mention the no interest payment plan.

Comment: Great to this point. Delivery and set-up were excellent. Enjoyed saving $s by not paying tax.

Comment: My old LG was having issues so I upgraded to this Samsung. I don't know what caused the difference, but the images immediately seemed more real. No matter what the source, picture seemed like you could reach through the screen and touch the people there. The ATSC tuner also received more channels than my previous HDTV. Fabulous!
