I orded a Samsung PN42A450.It has been sitting in Orlando for five days because Amaxon does update they're files.I had complete shipping information on the order including phone number but the shipping company has a two year out dated number. Could have purchased at cc for the same price and had less hassle and ...tax

Great TV for Blue-Ray and Playstation 3 --- its a steal! September 4, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I bought this TV about two weeks ago... I was originally looking for a Sony LCD Bravia 40" 1080HD (W300 Series) or the Samsung PN50A550 (50" Plasma 1080p/i resolution).
I went to a local store and saw this TV lying between the models described above - I thought it was a 1080 TV... image quality was about the same. It has better color and sharpness than the Sony LCD, and as in all TVs, it has a slight advantage over the bigger Samsung Plasma despite its 720p versus 1080p so called "disadvantage".
Then came the issue of pricing and looks... this one is a looker and for around $900 bucks it is a steal. Something told me to buy it and so I did.
When I got home I was first disappointed in its display of standard cable (coaxial analog)... standard cable only works in a regular CRT.
Next day I took it to a friends house who has digital cable and lord behold - Digital Cable is 720P so there is no real use for a 1080 Tuner - Image quality was great.
Then came the real reason I wanted a Plasma... My Sony Playstation 3 AKA Blue-Ray Player.
OH MY GOD... I had purchased Metal Gear Solid 4 and Grand Turismo 5 Prologue. I connected it USING A $20 Radio Shack HDMI Cable (Dont spend $100 on Monster Cable, its not worth it) and the games came alive. I could feel myself driving in the Ferrari F430, I could literally feel my self in the middle of war as I played MGS5. The definition, color depth, sharpness and lack of image noise was incredible. Its a great TV for any PS3 or new generation video game console.
Then I went and purchased Transformers the Movie in Blue Ray... Holly Cow!!!. You haven`t seen this movie until you have seen it through blue-ray and this TV. You can see every minor detail about Optimus Prime, Bumble-Bee and the rest of the characters... plus the size is excellent for a small living room or your bedroom (mines is about 60 square feet and it looks gigantic)
I dont understand how it works but it has and integrated circuitry that takes and ordinary 720P signal and digitally converts it to 1080 resolution, plus D filters for gaming. Believe me, I hate Digitally Remastered anything (just try using your digital zoom on a digital camera and you know hoe poor this technology usually is) but in this case IT WORKS... Realistic Colors, no aliasing, no blurs, great whites, great blacks, blues, reds, and little or no image "double-edges".
Both my games and Blue-Ray movies are converted to 1080p resolution and they look amazing.
One complaint: Speakers at 10x2 watts are weak and have no bass power... but we all know that is not the idea behind an HDTV... I have a Sony 6.1 Home Theater... I just plugged it to get outstanding sound and a recreate a real movie theater experience... Any Sony, Denon op Kenwood Receiver with 5.1 or better performance (500 Watts at least) will solve this problem in a snap.
It is definitely a great bang for your buck deal, it is truly designed for HDMI devices and it looks cool too.

I bought this tv for my living room and I loved it. I was considering the same tv for my mancave in the basement, but then I saw a combo special with the Panasonic Viera TH-42PX80U and Xbox 360 at a great price. I bought the Panasonic and the picture was nice, but it bothered me that there was no swivel base and no headphone jacks.....the Samsung has both of these features. I returned the Panasonic and got another Samsung. I am so glad I did so. With a 10% mover's coupon that you can find on the internet, you can get this tv at Best Buy for $808. It's just a great value.

Got TV 3 weeks ago and it plays great!! I choose an Amazon affiliate so I could't get the "White Glove" delivery. They called me first and delivered right on time. They only plug in the TV to insure it plays and no obvious damage but I am satisfied. I'm not a TV geek so for right now we are using the same hookup we had on our tube TV. Dish Network and co-axail cable to a 322 Dish box and co-axail to TV. I don't believe I have true HD but it's great reception any how. I've got the componet cables and will hook them up soon. The TV is absolutly great!! The whole Amazon experiance was great and would highly recommend.
