Awesome TV!!
Reviewed by malibujack (Enthusiast) from Getzville, NY on Nov 24, 2009
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This TV replaced a 6.5 year old Toshiba HD Flat Screen Tube TV in our family room and I couldn't be happier. I researched TV's quite extensively for some time before deciding on this one. I always thought Samsung had/has the best picture out of any TV I have ever seen. This TV is only a 60hz, but I do not notice any difference over 120hz. I've watched football and racing and other fast action shows, and the picture is just outstanding! Granted not all shows are going to look as good as others on this TV or any HD TV for that matter, but that's because they are't all HD. I would definitely recommend this TV to others, as well as recommending ABT Electronics, which I actually already have. [...] I will definitely be purchasing more products from them in the future!!
Pros: Attractive Design, Good Connection Options, Good Remote Control, Good Resolution, Great Picture Quality, Reduced Glare, Fast Setup, Great Sound Quality
Best Uses: Home, Home Theater
