Great TV

This is the first TV I have bought from Samsung.I purchased a monitor for my computer which has performed very well.This product's performance helped make my decision easier for the brand of TV I chose.I looked at them all and for the money the B530 blows them all away! The colors are so vivid and spectacular... read full review »

DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND!!!

I would say it may not be worth the money as it lasts about as long as the warranty and you can't get parts. There should be a class action lawsuite against Samsung. I would do my research and buy another brand, it may be a little more expensive, but you will have a working TV.

Love My Samsung!

I purchased this TV for my family room and love love love it!

It is lite as a feather and easy to install. The only downside is it has one set of a/v components and we have two video systems. Other than that its great!

Great TV

We bought a 32" Samsung in Dec. 2007.  It's been a great TV.  We are replacing a Samsung in our camper with the 32" and wanted a larger TV in the house.  We've had nothing but great service out of the Samsungs that we've owned.  This new 40" is no exception - we love it!  The picture is beautiful, the sound is great, it was easy to hook up and easy to operate.  Sears service is great - their price match is unbeatable!  We probably won't buy another TV for a long time, but if we do, it will be a Samsung from Sears.

I don't know what to say except that I am totally satisfied with my purchase.  First, I researched HDTV's and found out that Samsung is one of the most reliable.  Then I checked it out at Sears and found that the picture quality was one of the best, even when viewed at an angle.  Finally, the clarity when watching football on this TV is awesome.

Excellent upgrade from 27" SD.

I had a 27" Toshiba flat screen that I bought from Sears several years ago. It has an excellent SD picture. The 40" Samsung has an excellent HDTV picture. I watch digital broadcast with excellent color and image sharpness. My cable is not digital yet but I enjoy the programs on my 40" screen. Programming with the Menu button is pretty easy. Volume is quite adequate with the built in speakers. The remote control works fine. I ordered a Toshiba DVD recorder with 1080p upconversion for the best quality picture when watching DVD movies. Various reviews of the Sony 40" indicate that it may not be as... read full review »

Bought 32" Samsung 2 years ago. Loved it while it worked.  One day 6wks ago picture disappeared. Sound remained.

 TV repairman still has it, trying to get parts for it. So far have $200 into repair costs, and not yet fixed. Will not buy without an extended warranty again.

The best tv our house has ever seen!

We got this tv instead of switching over with that little box and being aggravated with it every day. You will not believe how incredibly clear your tv channels will be with this tv. You can pick up all of the little flaws of people's outfits, read things that you never knew you could and watching sports on it is better than being at the game itself! You will be hooked almost instantly on how great of tv this is and for the money is nearly impossible to beat!

Good TV

We bought this TV few year ago and it still runs great. The picture quality is good and the HDMI connections for the DVD player make all the difference

Great TV for a great price

Great TV!!!!!! Got a really good deal on black friday. Easy to hook up. I don't have a newer dvd player so I don't have it hooked up with an hdmi cord but I did get a composite cord and movies look great. Have just regular cable hooked up and it looks good. You can tell the difference between the regular and HD channel. And I have found the sound to be great. I am only using the tv speakers and I don't even haven't turned it up that loud (this was one thing that I was worried about based on all the reviews that I have read about LCD's and Plasma's)

So far the only thing that I don't like about...
