You've got to buy this TV

"I spent a month reviewing LCD and Plasma TV's, looking at the pros and cons of each. We finally went to Sears with the intention of buying the Samsung 52" LCD with 1080P for $2300.00 When we got there, this little Gem was sitting 3 TV's away and was calling my name with an $899 price tag. We were at Sears for over an hour looking at this TV and comparing it to the $2300 model. The fact is, the LCD didn't have th..." Read Full Review »

Image retention problems

"I purchased one of these in early June. Upon running the break-in DVD, I noticed what appeared to be bad pixels. In reality, it was what looked like a 3cm plastic shaving behind the front glass. I returned the TV and got another one just like it. This time there were THREE bits of trash behind the glass but it wasn't as noticeable. We decided to keep it. It's now late June and after breaking the TV in using ful..." Read Full Review »

"BACKGROUND: I bought the PNA450 on sale after the Christmas rush as my very first HD tv. What an upgrade from the 27" tube I had before! Easy to set up from the click-open box.

CLARITY: Lots of clear picture at 15 feet away from set. 1080p is not needed at that distance. I have it connected to an HD …"  Read Full Review »

"I picked this unit up for less than $810 before tax. I originally planned to get a 50" 1080p plasma, but couldn't justify the $500 more. Trust me, at my seating distance of about 12' you cannot tell the difference. The Samsung colors are stunning. Do yourself a favor, if you debating over plasma vs …"  Read Full Review »
