Digital camera reviews of Samsung LNT4665F 46" 1080p LCD HDTV
Digital camera Review: Disappointed and Mad
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought I was buying the best TV for the money. Little did I know that Direct TV and Samsung have compatability issues with the new 1.3 HDMI format. I can't use the HDMI cable (even the $130 Monster Cable) with my set. I have had Samsung out to look at the TV and they have replaced some internal board - so great my brand new TV has already been taken apart and put back together. I have had Direct TV out and all they can say is that some TV brands can't use the HDMI cables and mus use components - sounds like a pile of **** to me. If I knew these issues I would not have bought the newer model Samsung. I am truely disappointed.Digital camera Review: Best TV I've ever Owned
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd like to start my review by saying the glare issue attributed to these glossy screens has been blown way out of proportion. Unless your a big time movie buff, you're not going to have any problems. If you're that big of a movie buff, you're going to have control of your lighting anyway. If I feel like having a movie night, I'll dim the lights a bit, but for everyday cable/gaming usage, I don't even bother. I work for a cable installation company, so I'm in hundreds of homes a year, and I get to see just about every TV on the market. I was looking for something that would fit the size of my living room, and my budget. This narrowed it down to a 46" model between three Samsungs, a Sony Bravia, and a Sharp Aquos. Seeing these TV's in person on an individual basis is nice, but you don't really get to compare them, as they all provide great picture on a one on one basis. Several trips to several different local stores gave me the opportunity to compare them all. The local best buy actually had 2 of the Samsungs, the Sharp, and the Sony mounted along side each other, and was kind enough to allow me to reset all settings back to factory default for comparison purposes. Out of the two Samsungs, the 665 and the 660, the 665 obviously had the better picture, and in those surroundings the glare was no issue (its no issue now that its in my home either). The 4665F and the Sony made the Sharp look pretty bad. While the Samsung and the Sony had about the same quality picture, the price I could get the Samsung for was a good $600 less, so with my budget in mind I chose the 4665F. Had money been no question, I may have went with the Sony, due to the lower amount of service calls, but to be quite honest, I think the Samsung had a slight edge on the picture. The only one that I couldn't compare side to side was the newer 120hz 46" model. I've seen them several times in use with Blu-Ray 1080p movies, and while the picture is amazingly clear, the 120hz seems more like a digital effect and almost has a fakeness to it. The technology itself can be turned off within the TV settings, and seeing as how I thought I would not use it that often, again the $500 price bump was not worth it to me. I am still blown away by the picture quality, its much better than I thought it would be when I brought it home. The best thing I can suggest is go to a couple local stores and try to judge the TVs in person. Between my professional experience, and those trips to the store over the past couple months led me to my decision. Not much to gripe about, love the expansion capabilities with all the inputs, 3 HDMI ports was definately a plus. I've seen other Samsung sets with remotes that allow you to switch between the different types of input strictly by the type of input you're looking for, instead of scanning through all of them. This is probably the biggest downfall, considering I love using the included Samsung remote for most of my devices. Another thing, I've had TV's that have collected dust in the past, but this TV seems to pull almost all the dust bunnies in the house. I have to wipe it down with a cloth at least every couple days, otherwise it looks like a black car's fenders after driving in the snow on a salted road. The screen isn't really a problem, it's the black piano like casing. Overall though, not a big enough deal not to enjoy this TV, and it allows me to get into a habit of keeping the living room clean.
I would definately recommend this TV to anyone, even those without a budget. You won't be sorry.
Digital camera Review: I RETURNED THIS TV
Summary: 4 Stars
We liked this TV but we were not thrilled with the picture quality. We would have kept it but then I saw that Amazon was offering a newer model that had BETTER SPECS and was CHEAPER so we decided to return it for the newer model. The newer model LN46A550P is listed on the same page as LNT4665F in the box that says a newer model of this item is available.
Check it out, especially the reviews. Several other people returned the LNT4665F for the newer 550P and are thrilled with the improved quality. Again, better specs and cheaper!!! Buying the older model just does not make sense.
The 550P is so much better for many reasons -- picture quality is unbelievable, the sound is better, non-glare screen, easier remote, no shadows especially with sports, better specs and again cheaper.
Samsung does make a great TV so enjoy the one you buy.
Digital camera Review: Great Picture!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research, and finally decided on the 4665f. I could not be happier with my choice. Sure, it isn't as great as a 120hz LCD TV, but this is one of the best 1080p LCDs out there, for the 2007 models. The price was great, the delivery pretty quick, and I'm very happy.Digital camera Review: More than I expected.
Summary: 5 Stars
The clarity of sound and picture are remarkable. The delivery arranged by Amazon was prompt and on schedule. The delivery men unpacked, setup and tested the set to my satisfaction. I have used the set with the Sony Playstation 3 for Blue Ray NetFlixs and well the only thing that is missing is the smell Regal Theather popcorn. Great set. All the online research for information and price was well worth it.
