Digital camera reviews of Samsung HL61A750 61-Inch 1080p LED Powered DLP HDTV
Digital camera Review: Really nice, but not really great
Summary: 4 Stars
I went from a 19-in old CRT to this 61-in beast. I really like the color definition, menus are easy to use, and blurring is somewhat controlled. I would say, though, that I did not need this size a TV. I can see too much detail and regular analog feed looks horrible. I was excited about the picture-in-picture (PIP) function but then realized it's a single tuner not dual tuner, meaning I need to feed in a separate line to use that function; no big deal, just something to deal with. The DLP TV does not have great side angle viewing, so the room should be arranged for more straight on viewing rather than from the side. Flipping channels is a bit tedious as the TV takes a second or 2 to interpret the next channel. If I had to do this again I would rather spend a little less money, get a slightly smaller screen (say a 48-52") with LCD. I wish the cost for the LED LCD TVs were more reasonable, but this is what I could afford. But overall I do like this Samsung.Digital camera Review: Yeah, its that good
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this TV after 4 months of exhaustive research, and yes...it is as adveratised by the reviews on this and every site out there.
I am a movie nut, and own over 200, but I am not a videophile who needs everything to be just like a theater...and I am not rich, but damn if this wasn't the closest to perfect I could have come. This tv can fit into any budget, especially seeing how far it is falling in price. The picture is ridiculous. I loved (and still love) my forty inch sony 720p hd, but this thing is so much more screen and detail that I can't even imagine going back. Football is so clear on this and there is no motion jutter to speak of. The standard settings are just fine for normal veiwing, but in a dark environment, setting to movie makes for some amazing black levels. The LED thing is for real too. Not having to replace lamps is a big BIG deal. My cousing has 65" Sony Grand WEGA and has replaced the lamps twice in four years. And, at 200 a pop, that aint cheap. This TV will need LED replacement (expensive right now, very expensive) in about 15 years. Considering Samsungs dive into LED tech for there backlighting, I see this getting alot cheaper in the next few years for those of us who will need a replacement in 2023. And the imputs are many and varied, handling all of your video tech with room to spare.
The menus are a bit extensive, so be ready to go default when it gets too confusing. The sound, which is the only drawback to this TV is ok if your watching the news or weekly whatever, but not so great with external sources or movies. Highly recommend a home theater set up. Mine was just waiting for this TV.
I bought this from Ultimate Electronics (yeah, I paid tax, but they matched Amazon and I got it that day) and wouldn't trade it for the most expensive plasma. Nobody will beat the picture at this size, not plasma, not LCD, untill oleds become reasonable and viable.
Don't wait any longer. Figure out your budget, find your retailer, and pull the trigger. Best decision I could have made.
Digital camera Review: Great value
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this TV almost 3 months, and I love it. I've had no problems. For this price, it can't be beat. DLP is less expensive, but the picture quality is still amazing. Early DLP models had some issues/complaints with the lamp and the color wheel, but the LED-powered model has no incandescent lamp to replace and no moving color wheel. Everyone who sees it is amazed by the size.
I can't comment on the speakers, as I have an external sound system. The interface and controls are easy to use. The only downside I can see is that it is not wall-mountable like an LCD or Plasma, but I really have no interest in wall-mounting a television anyway.
Overall, highly recommended. I think it's definitely worth getting a DLP and forgoing the wall mount, because the size you get for the cost is much bigger.

Summary: 5 Stars
I am thoroughly satisfied with Amazon.com and Samsung with my first large item purchase through the internet. Amazon.com was exceptional in ease of ordering, fast and hassle free delivery, great pricing and price guarantee policies. Actually, I had originally ordered from another vendor, but the television was delivered late and damaged, was returned and put on backorder, so I eventually cancelled, and I have yet to receive credit. So, I have experienced another vendor to make a comparison. The television is great!! Once we got it hooked up to HD satellite and all the proper cables, the picture is an exceptional entertainment experience.
