How it sucks
click term for excerpts - most relevant excerpts first9 months ago @ AmazonSamsung refused to send a repair person, claiming it could be repaired over the phone. Huh? I called their service center and they put me on hold for 15 minutes before I finally hung up.
11 months ago @ AmazonIt took three weeks to get fixed. One reason was the holidays and another reason that Samsung only had one company under contract in this area. That company never returned calls,and when I called them they said they were didn't know when they could come and that they were very busy.
11 months ago @ AmazonWe removed the packaging, but before we lifted it on the stand, I noticed the bottom right corner of the TV broken! The delivery guy immediately acknowledged that it was a bad unit and agreed to take it back. I was so disappointed!
12 months ago @ AmazonAlso I felt that TV is hotter than normal, but I did not have any concern about it, thinking that is normal operating temperature. However we ended calling the Samsung customer service for the help. A gentleman from customer service was very kind with us.
12 months ago @ Amazonwe can barely see the outlines of the full windows in the screen but they DO NOT hinder the picture. The reviews I read about the poor sound for this model is not reflected in our use.
12 months ago @ AmazonThe local delivery service in DC scheduled 3 different delivery times before actually delivering the TV on the 4th try. I wish they would have told me when it was coming correctly the first time.
10 months ago @ AmazonI agree with some of the comments about glare, but it is no worse than a flat tube TV. You cannot go wrong with this set.
9 months ago @ AmazonYou will not be disappointed.
12 months ago @ AmazonIt's only two days old in our home and we suppose strange things could happen to change our minds but it IS ALL we had hoped it would be.
10 months ago @ AmazonHad my heart set on an Panasonic 42" 1080P plasma, but I could not resist the Samsung for the money. Resarched Consumer Reports and several HDTV forums.
12 months ago @ AmazonThis is very bad. I hope that Samsung technician would recommend exchanging this TV for the new one. Let it see?????????????????????
11 months ago @ AmazonThis is not a real 1080p but it's difficult to see the difference at this size.
11 months ago @ AmazonI was all excited, went and bought a new TV stand and assembled it. Eagle was punctual on the day of delivery. However, they just had one person show up instead of the usual 2.
12 months ago @ AmazonHE said that is not normal. SO before I purchased this TV I had regular TV set so I did not have experience about it.
9 months ago @ AmazonMy sony speaker is so bad i have to use my Onkyo Receiver for my audio. HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS TV for a Budget bedroom or Fun room TV. Not a bad Apartment Main TV either!!
12 months ago @ AmazonThe TV goes through a set-up menu step-by-step automatically when you first turn it on which was a nice feature. The blacks are also black not gray like most LCDs. The sound from the TV is OK, but I would recommend going through a separate audio system.
12 months ago @ AmazonHe explain that TV shouldn't be hotter than 100 F, but my had about 170 F on the very top-back grill . He told me that I have to turn off TV immediately, and unplugged from the wall.
11 months ago @ AmazonI called amazon customer service and they immediately ordered a new unit for me.
9 months ago @ AmazonCompared to the sony.... Its pretty even if not a better picture! I went 42" because this was going in my bedroom and didnt see a need for a 50".
11 months ago @ Amazonbefore christams, they didn't get it out unitl Friday- but it was Friday at 8am-exactly when they said they would be there- very nice guys.
How it doesn't
click term for excerpts - most relevant excerpts first10 months ago @ AmazonAmazon had the best price of several other on-line retailers. I heard horror stories about the shipping company, EGL, but was pleasantly surprised when my delivery arrived several days ahead of schedule in the middle of a snow storm.
12 months ago @ AmazonI found the AVSForum website to be a very helpful starting place to learn about burn-in issues and suggested pictture settings. The Samsung's on-screen menu is very easy to navigate to make the initial set-up and changing settings a breeze. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase.
12 months ago @ AmazonThis TV has a beautiful design. Pictures quality is superb and is comparable to the expensive plasma TVs (Just make sure to change the default picture settings). Very easy to setup.
9 months ago @ AmazonI looked everywhere from sony to pioneer to even olivia. This samsung has by far the best picture, and looks out of anything i saw. I am so unbelievingly happy about the decision i made to purchase this tv.
11 months ago @ AmazonFootball games are a real joy to watch. Sound is OK since I don't use external speakers. Overall, I have been VERY pleased with my Samsung plasma tv.
12 months ago @ AmazonNot much to add to most of these reviews. The set was delivered promptly and very professionally by Eagle. The set itself looks fantastic on HD and even better than I expected on standard resolution.
9 months ago @ AmazonIm overall very pleased with this purchase at the price you can not beat it. i did alot of shopping around and some of my friends who have been doing the same job as me for years quotes Samsung as being Elite in TV quality and I can see why. the TV itself is beautiful very clean and the piano black finish is awesome looking.
11 months ago @ AmazonThey must have been wanting to unload everything, because I was able to talk them down to $800. After I got the tv home, setup was quick and easy.
9 months ago @ AmazonGave me a 2 hour window on my scheduled delivery day - driver stayed in contact with me. Delivered and setup in my living room. - Had plasma for almost a month - working great!
10 months ago @ AmazonI am also very satisfied with the HP-T4264. No complaints other than with my my HD provider. HD picture quality is great once you figure out the myriad of settings.
11 months ago @ AmazonSo far, I have been very happy with the TV. Also the shipping was very fast, performed by eagle. The TV didn't really travel since it was shipped from Irving,TX.
10 months ago @ AmazonSo if you are confused between Plasma and LCD then go for PLASMA and specially this Samsung is a steal and yeah I forgot the topping on the dessert AMAZON is AMAZING!!!! The price and service is awesome.
9 months ago @ AmazonSound is great (has an EQ). TV looks great on the wall. If you're reading this while researching...stop now and buy this model.
9 months ago @ AmazonIm very impressed with this TV.. The delivery service was great in and out tested and took the boxes with them. They even went as far as calling me ahead of time so i could meet them on my lunch break to deliver the TV.
11 months ago @ AmazonYou wont want to watch any SD channels. Mounted it with the "Peerless ST650 Universal Tilt Wall Mount for 30-50" Flat Panel Screen" Great combo. Oh- and Eagle Delivery service was great- I tracked the packeg using their website and called them (didn't wait for them) when I saw it reached the local delivery center and arranged for delivery.
9 months ago @ AmazonI HIGHLY recommend this tv. Also the shipping was great, got in in about 5 days.
11 months ago @ AmazonI am impressed with the picture quality. The sound also works for our use. Even though I have external speakers, didn't feel the need to get them hooked up.
11 months ago @ AmazonAfter reading the reviews on Amazon and seeing the Samsung model in stores,I decided to buy Samsung. Received my order from Amazon within 7 days. Delivery was great by Eagle.
12 months ago @ AmazonFirst of all delivery was 2 days early and greatly appreciated. The two delivery men were extremely capable and nice.
12 months ago @ AmazonBut the picture quality is great!
