 Beautiful TV and great price; currently no sound issues November 28, 2008

I bought this TV to replace my old Sony tube TV which was defective and had a greenish screen. That TV was only a few years old, too, which doesn't say too much for Sony products. This TV, however, is so beautiful; it is FAR superior to the old tube TV I had. There is just no comparison. The colors are vibrant and the contrast is amazing, especially in HD. It is my first HD TV and I can definitely see why people love these TVs so much.
The sound is just okay. I do not have the sound distortion problem resulting from using the QAM tuner and not a cable box with Comcast with this TV. Hopefully, I will never get this problem since it is a major issue with the 32" Samsung TV we bought shortly after this one. You can see what I mean by reading my review on the LN32A330 model. Apparently, most of Samsung's tuners are defective in these TVs and do not work well with cable signals (mainly Comcast) unless there is a cable box. This results in distorted or "robotic" sound on HD channels at regular intervals.
I highly recommend this TV ONLY if you use a cable box. I personally wouldn't take a chance with it if you have Comcast or any other cable without a cable box. My 26" doesn't have the sound problem, but it could only be a matter of time before it pops up, which I have heard does happen.

It was easy to hook up. The picture is great and there is no distortion even if viewed from a side angle - it can be watched from every chair in the room. Sound is pretty good. As someone who doesn't read instructions, it is easy to operate. The shiny black is very attractive, but is a dust magnet.
Samsung 26" LCD HDTV October 10, 2008
Very good product; just as advertised; sharp picture and easy to use. As usual, very EXCELLENT ordering and QUICK delivery time from Amazon suppliers.

This is my first HDTV and I couldn't be happier with the picture, it truely is amazing. The reason I give it 4* is because the sound is terrible, you really do NEED to buy external speakers. It sounds like a radio, which is a huge turn off if you doing something like playing Guitar Hero or watching mtv, things of that nature. I disregarded the other reviewers saying the sound is bad, it really is noticable. Just a little thing on my wish list, I wish it had S-Video, Headphone plug ins, and PIP but the 2 HDMI inputs make up for it. I just listed all the cons about the TV which may make you think that it's a bad set, but it really has great picture quality. Xbox 360 games look great with the HDMI input, and HD programs, like football, look so much better than with a regular TV. Regualr cable channels do look like crap, as they do with most/all HDTV's. Just be weary that if you buy this set you will most likely also need to buy speakers and digital cable. I'd recommend this to anyone.
Misleading images - Bezel is thicker than it is in images. September 1, 2008

All of the advertising images of this TV are misleading. The black frame/bezel on this TV is actually about an inch wider than it appears to be in the advertising images of the TV. To me, this is a disappointment. Pretty good TV. Sound is ok but could be better. Seems to be some resonant vibration/distortion at moderate levels. Contrast range doesn't seem to meet specs.
