I am extremely happy with my new Samsung plasma HDTV. It is without a doubt the shaprest picture I have ever seen. Almost looks 3 dimensional. I was not happy with the Zip installer that you recommended. They arrived about 3:00pm for a 8:00 am appointment. They did not hook up the coax into the VCR even though the cable was there. They used coax to go from the cable box to the TV even though I had given them the component cables. Once I fixed these details I was very happy with the system. The 2 installers that Zip sent were very polite but that was the only thing that was good. I would not use Zip again. It was a waist of $100.

This is number six of the Samsung items our family owns, and it may be the best buy yet. Looked at Panasonic and their cNet reviews because I really wanted a plasma unit, but I'm fully satisfied with the picture this TV delivers and the features/imputs. Swivel base is a nice option; when you have more people over (football season is here) it's easy to give everyone a good view without dragging the base across the stand. With the discount that Amazon offered along with free shipping and no tax, it was a no-brainer.

This TV has a great picture at the right price. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the tv and with the speed of the delivery from CEVA. I paid $1199 for this tv and Amazon then lowered the price to $1099 15 days after I purchased it so unfortunately, the price difference could not be refunded. The HD picture from my satellite dish looks absolutely stunning. I recently moved to Canada for a 2-3 year work assignment and since TVs are more expensive up north, I purchased this tv from Amazon so it could be shipped by my moving company. Obviously a concern for me was the speed of delivery since the time between my order and when the movers were coming was around 13 days. I received the tv in less than a week from CEVA and it arrived in perfect condition. The tv also survived the 3000 mile trip to St. Johns, NL.

Finalized the purchase at Fred Meier today after seeing the price and scooting to the library to examine online reviews and prices. The clincher was a price of$899.00, with a $50.00 rebate finishing it at $849.00...it may be low enough my wife won't have a cow, eh? Only gave it 4 stars due to my limited time for setup, regular Dish programming and a Samsung Blueray DVD player (awsome!). Can't wait to see what HD programming does to make this pop!

This was the second HD big screen Samsung I bought in 2 years; the first was a 56" DLP and obviously wonderful enough to seal my decision to stick with Samsung. The deal I got (both times) from Amazon was simply incredible, with their several-hundred-dollar discounts, free shipping & no tax, there was really no second-guessing Amazon. Both were delivered on time by great local distributers, and in perfect condition. The Plasma has an even crisper picture, higher refresh rate, & all the benefits of 2 years worth of newer technology; but they are both exceptional products. As anyone who has purchased a big screen HDTV knows, you talk about it a lot, both before and after the purchase, with seemingly everyone. I've never once heard (first hand) anyone disappointed with Samsung; in fact I believe they are without question the way to go, especially when coupled with the value & reliability of Amazon.
