1. Don't expect any service from a third rated company.
   If you are buying a big ticket item or an expensive item, don't go with Samsung.
   They will not help you when it breaks down even when it's under the warranty.
   They will delay it until the warranty is over.



2. stay away from amazon, filled with rippers offering low cost for products and who gets screwd, you do and amazon isn't doing anything about it, also don't trust this site http://www.escrowd.com it is a fake site made up to take your money, do not trust it as it isn't listed with BBB as a business in Paris France

1. I purchased this TV for my basement wall, to watch the Nascar races and so far so good, excellent TV. It is light and easy to handle, we popped out the bottom stoppers on the stand, removed the stand and with two screws in the wall it went up as easy as hanging a picture. The brightness did need adjusting but the picture comes in fine, maybe the picture depends on if you have cable or a dish. We have a dish and I have no problem at all, the remote is a little small and my husband kept hitting the wrong button to begin with but once you get used to it we both agreed- excellent choice *****



2. Note: contradicting Amazon's title, this is NOT a TV. It is a monitor with a built-in TV tuner (lots of differences). Thus the low price.
   
   I bought this item from J&R Music via Amazon.com. I returned it becuase the volume went from off to fairly loud with no "in-between" as I adjusted the volume up from zero. Note that I bought this to use as a TV, not a monitor.
   
   Well, They sent me another and it had the exact same issue. Also, not being a TV, this has no Closed-caption feature or other "taken for granted" TV features you would get in an actual television. SVA and J&R Music both emphasized this, though I see Amazon still has not changed it (I notified Amazon.com in January, 2005).



3. for the price, this lcd is not bad at all. as others have said, the picture tends to be a bit dark. but as i found for myself, you have to set the angle of the screen to allow for best viewing. then the picture is just fine. the remote is a bit small. and the volume controlles are not that easy to deal with. but i keep the mute set to "ON", and use the audio from my surround system anyway. all and all, i can't complaine. it's well worth the price paid.



4. This LCD works great for every day computer functions as a monitor, but not as a TV. The problem is when you want to watch TV, you better be ready to handle the fuzzy picture. I've have it mounted on the wall in my computer room as a TV, but used a VCR to tune the cable channels, because it's TV tuner is terrible. The picture from the VCR's RCA plugs is ten times better than cable TV feed into the coax, but it is still fuzzy. I guess since it has such a high res native mode, the regular TV's low resolution can't be produced cleanly. For the price, you can't complain too much. I have been using it for 2 years, so I can't say I didn't get my money's worth.
   
   It does have it's benefits, since I needed a second monitor to fix computers at home, it saves plenty of space hanging on the wall by two screws. No need to spend $50 on a VESA wall mount, when two drywall screws will do.
   
   After two years, I've decided this Xmas I'm giving it to my mother as an upgrade to her 15" monitor on her computer at home, and I'm not even telling her it is a TV.



5. I have this LCD/TV for slightly over 1 year (1 yr 4 mth) and has been using it as a TV. And right around the time waranty is about to expire, we start seeing what is supposed to be black color is replaced by green. Other colors are displaying properly. This problem would come and go: sometimes going to "Fine Tune" set it all the way down and bring it back up would fix the problem for 10 minutes before it comes back again.
   
   Since it doesn't happen consistently, I made the mistake of not sending it back to the vendor. Now the warranty expired, and I am stuck with a "green" TV.
   
   Watch out for color problem on this TV.

1. I've owned this model for about six weeks now. It's my first large screen TV purchase but I researched pretty thoroughly beforehand.
   
   Pros:
   1. Beautiful picture both in HD and regular signal. DVD's and even VHS tapes look good as well
   2. Very competitive price. Most 50" plasmas are at least $800 more.
   3. Plenty of inputs and outputs. Multiple inputs for component and composite devices plus a VGA port for PC's.
   Cons:
   1. Draws a lot of power. It's 450 watts but that's in line with other similar plasmas.
   2. Has only a HDMI input for digital whereas many devices such as PC's and cable boxes have DVI. Requires a pricey conversion cable to use. Luckily, I think the component connection looks as good as the HDMI one.
   3. Controls and menus could be more efficient. Common commands like input selection require arrowing through menus instead of just scrolling through using a single button like most TV's.
   
   So far so good though.



2. I would give this 4.5 only because it does not have the bells and whistles of the nuch more expensive TV's
   Great plasma for price. Picture quality ranks up there with Panasonic,Pioneer,LG
   Pros:Excellent picture, sleek look, wall mount friendly,Digital and analog tuners work great
   Cons:Could use some more convenience/user customizable features, remote pretty simple, sound on included removable speakers not great, but who cares.



3. I purchased this TV just over a year ago. 9 days after my warranty expired, it died.
   Now I didn't purchase the service plan, so I wasn't going to complain (at first), but as it turns out HP doesn't provide replacement parts to anyone that doesn't have a service plan, so essentially my TV is a paperweight now.
   Every single TV repair technician I found had the same story about how HP WILL NOT PROVIDE PARTS FOR THEIR TV's.
   From what I read on other opinion websites, even WITH the service plan, it can take weeks to get replacement parts in.
   Now I expected NOTHING for free. I didn't purchase the PSP, so thats the way it goes, but for HP to make the consumer have to replace their TV in a year is unacceptable business practice.
   FYI...Sony, Panasonic, et al provide replacement parts much more readily.
   Do yourself a favor and take into account how easy it will be to get service on your TV if you need it.
   Having said all of that, I'm particularly disappointed because I thought this unit was excellent...while it actually worked.



4. This is such a dissapointing TV and the HP service is just the same. Less than 1 month outside of my warranty the TV has died. It's experiencing a phenomenon called "pixel flare". Google it. I'm not the only one. I have no choices as per the rude HP customer service rep (yes, Chase from Ontario Canada- I'm talking about you!) but to fork over almost $750 for a replacement main control board (and pay someone to put it in). Not fair! A $1,500 TV should last more than 1 year. I implore you- don't make this mistake. Step away from the HP- far away!
