This review is for the CEVA delivery company. I ordered my TV 2 weeks ago and still do not have it. It was misplaced and lost in Atlanta for 8 days. Once found it was sent to Savannah,GA which is a 30 min drive from my house. Now I have to wait 3 days for final delivery. I wish I would have paid more at best buy and just brought it home from the store. The TV better not be damaged or I will be irate. The bad delivery service has taken the fun out of buying this expensive TV.

Before purchasing google the tech/repar sites for the hundreds/thousands of dis-satisfied customers that have had hdmi port and power board failure.

Conveniently for Samsung this usually only occurs after the warranty had run out.

I have a 2008 Samsung LCD HDTV that has had two hdmi ports and the power board fail.

The most ridiculous part of all of this – is that Samsung continues to use old/cheap capacity resistors on their boards (ones the manufacturer said were obsolete back in 1999 – ten years ago!).

I’m a very unhappy buyer! My Samsung TV failed within months from a faulty power unit. I Googled “Samsung TV problem” and discovered Samsung TVs have a documented defect that turn them into bricks within a year or two. Samsung is aware of the defect but has left thousands of buyers in the lurch with their callous customer service.

I advise you to Google “Samsung TV problem” before wasting you money on one of these duds!

The picture is beautiful — 5 stars.

The physical unit is attractive; it looks good in the living room — 5 stars.

The remote is average — quite complicated as is normal these days and the layout of the buttons is merely usable enough — 3 stars.

The instructions and set-up are overly complicated. The single most frustrating aspect of home theater is the large number of possible equipment combinations and how they should be connected and configured to get the best possible picture for a given programming selection. There should be pictures and diagrams for every possible combination of equipment and this should be the largest section of the manual. The on-screen set-up menus need to be logically accessible and offer positive feedback to user inputs. The quality of the documentation was average for the industry, which is to say it was pretty miserable. The wording, logic, accessibility and feedback of the on-screen set-up controls was also average for the industry and likewise miserable. This is more of a criticism of the industry as a whole, but it gets — 3 stars.
