5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent TV, 11 Jul 2008
By Dr. A. Boyadjiev "anton.boyadjiev" (leicester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having done plenty of research on which TV to buy, I finally settled for this one. There is so much debate out there on LCD vs Plasma, but the way I see it is:

Plasma

- Better value (bigger screens for the money)
- Better response times thus less blurring during sports.

LCD

- No risk of screen burn (yes, it can still be a problem)
- Potentially sharper colours and images
- Use less electricity

But remember that an expensive good brand Plasma screen will be better than a cheap LCD and vice versa.

So the Samsung,
it has a fantastic picture. It is easy to set up and the picture can be adjsuted to match any taste. The TV set itself is really stylish, but beware, it is quite heavy so buy a sturdy TV stand.
My top tips for any potential butyer are:
- Reduce brightness and contrast in the first few hundred hours to prolong the pixel life
- Avoid dysplaying bright images for a long time in those fist few hours as this is when the TV is most prone to screen burn (basically avoid the dynamic picture setting and turn down brightness and contrast).

Overall this is an excellent and stylish TV which works wonders with HD signal (ok with standard def considering the size of the screen). You cannot possibly go wrong with this TV. Highly recommended.
