Perfect

Nice television, great picture. Can't complain. Even though the item was an "open box" item, the damage was extremely minimal (minor scuffs on the bottom front left corner) and for the price it was well worth it!

Having both a 120hz and a 60hz model of approximately the same size and contrast ratio...I can tell you that the 120hz does make a difference. The Auto-Motion feature really adds a new dimension to the blu-ray movies that I already own. It does take a bit of getting used to - but now I wouldn't want to watch movies on a tv with a lower refresh rate...the 60hz without Auto-Motion just looks choppy to me.

Awesome

Long store short, this TV is everything I hoped it would be. Watching HD and/or DVDs are unreal. With the contrast ratio and the 120hz processor, it looks like you are looking out the window.

No HD TV is 'there' yet. This one is close.

I held off buying a hi def TV for two reasons:
1. They were stupid expensive
2. None of them had a consistently great image
Around Christmas time 2007 price issue seemed to go away and with features like 120hz panels and image smoothing using frame interpolation it seemed like the image quality was getting better (consistently).
This set seemed like a perfect balance of price and features. The image has been fantastic, it really looks great...as long as the signal from the cable company isn't too compressed. The styling on the outside of the set is also very nice. I especially like the glowing blue power button that turn the TV on/off with a gently stroke of the hand.
My main disappointment with this set had been the performance of the Auto Motion Plus. When it is working it looks great. The problem is that I can't really keep AMP turned on. When the AMP is on you often times get this very distracting slow motion effect. It is so distracting you can't watch a show with this feature on. It is a little annoying to have to keep turned off the key feature of the set. I've spoken to Samsung CSRs, they have assured me a fix is on the way. They're not sure if it's a firmware fix or a hardware + firmware fix, but they have promised me a fix is coming.
If I can get the AMP to work on this set I would give this TV 5 stars. Other people have complained about the Triple Ball Effect. I honestly didn't notice that too much, but I think it was because I was so offput by the slow-mo, or stutter effect of the AMP.
I think one thing to keep in mind is that all HD TVs have some sort of issue/flaw. If you go in with that expectation this is a fine set to own. I'm just glad flawed HD sets no longer cost 15k :-).
I use this TV with
TiVo TCD652160 HD Digital Video Recorder
and
Onkyo TX-SR605 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)
with these speakers
ONKYO SKS-HT240 Home Theater Speaker Kit

some time soon I will replace my old Samsung 1080i upconverting DVD player with this
Playstation 3 40GB

One more note: my couch is about 7 ft from the TV and 40" is plenty big.

Beautiful

I had been looking for my first HDTV for more than a month, trying to find the best one for the best price. I went to a major retailer to look at one and the Sales associate wanted to show me the one he thought had the best picture, of course it was not the one I was looking for but I obliged. I fell in love the instant I saw it. The picture was better than any I had seen in the previous month of looking. I went home and looked it up on the internet and found it here for $1000 less than the retailer. It was very easy to set up and the controls are very user friendly. I just can't watch baseball in the 120 Hz mode, but that is easily fixed by the push of a button.

Order this HD TV as an "Open Box" product. I always cross my fingers when ordering a refurbished or open box product, but Amazon's policy of 30 day guarantee or full refund makes it easier. This TV was delivered in a factory new box and is in perfect condition. The picture on this baby is crystal clear right out of the box. Even tho I did make a few adjustments to the tuning. The price was much less than a "store bought" new TV. The picture is so life like, especially the golf tournaments, that it's almost like looking at the real thing through a window. I HIGHLY recommend this.
