Customer Reviews

The Crown Jewel of your Home Theatre!
I researched HDTV formats, specs, and prices all summer long, and my research kept pointing me back to Samsung's 2005 line of DLP TV's because they offered the best bang for the buck. This is the midrange unit in the 2005 line--they also sell a smaller 56" model, along with an enormous 67" beast!

The picture quality with an HD signal is simply stunning. During HD broadcasts of football games you can literally see the pebbling of the leather on the football. I own season tickets to Neyland Stadium (University of Tennessee), and I might not renew them next year--I'd prefer to watch the game on HD with this TV rather than drive three hours to Knoxville!

DVD's also look a lot better, although I'm thinking of upgrading to an HDMI-output player simply because of this TV. It has a cornucopia of inputs, from regular cable to S-video, Component video and the new HDMI standard. It even has a VGA port to turn it into a big-a$$ computer monitor. For those with a cable or satellite provider who will provide one, there's a CableCard PCMCIA slot so you can ditch the cable box.

If there's a downside to this TV, it's that this unit shows you just how bad standard TV broadcasts (SDTV) look in comparison to HDTV. I can hardly watch SDTV broadcasts anymore.

Finally, if you get one of these beauties, budget an additional $300 or so for the matching stand.

In short, I am in love with this TV. If you get one, you'll be clamoring for all the HD content you can get your hands on, because nothing else truly shows off the capabilities of this TV.

Samsung 61" HD 1080p
This set is really remarkable. The clarity is exceptional and the size of the TV is deceptive. It looks relatively small until the picture comes on the screen and then it is like being in your private movie theater.

I am enjoying this purchase very much.
