Televisions - Product Reviews

chitowndave - (July 30, 2004) I bought this third generation DLP after a long hard search for the "perfect" HDTV. Plasma's expense and burn in problems (I watch FOX and CNBC often) just worried me too much, and LCDs looked good but not like this. Almost bought an EDTV 42" Samsung plasma because of the cost and the 2 year standard warranty, but I knew I would eventually wonder about a full blown HDTV and would buy one in a few years to replace it. I consider this set a way to avoid that step. I was also worried about the salesmans desire to take it out of the box before I bought it and confirm that it worked - and he stressed about not tilting the set past 90 degrees - this had me concerned about how fragile it was.

miggidy - (June 01, 2006) I bought this TV a couple of months ago and I love it. I did a whole lot of research, both online and offline. I visited local stores such as BestBuy, Fry's, and Circuit City. This LCD TV outperformed even Sony's overpriced Bravia LCD's. The overall picture is clearer and crisper on the Sammy (Sony looks grainy). The contrast levels are unmatched. The black level is the best I've seen in any LCD and looked a lot better than Sharp's Aquos LCD. Before purchasing this TV, I read all over the internet about how horrible the DNIe feature is in Sammy's line of LCD's. Perhaps there was a problem with the previous model, but Sammy's latest batch of LCD's (LNS series) looks great. I found th

macinnis - (June 20, 2004) I shopped for many months before purchasing this display. The final conclusion was based on the fact that I will most likely want to use this unit in situations where a static image could have burned in a plasma if I had gone that way. The idea of not having to worry about screen burn in was the final factor. Sharp has done an amazing job of putting a highly detailed HDTV picture together with drop dead looks. The price is a value for the quality you get. The input selection on the external box (another great feature) is impressive. The HDMI and DVI interface allows future proofing as need be. The sound is better than any tv I have heard. I am thinking of having the unit's speakers be

Athenaindi - (11/07/2009) The wall opposite our 7000 is all windows. I took a chance going with the glossy screen when I chose this TV. If you focus on the outside reflection- yes it is there, of course, however, the deep rich color and contrast of the 7000 picture is strong enough to overpower the glare, and still offer you a great picture from straight forward, and angled from the side! We love it! Also, the sleek profile was worth the higher price tag.

bearpuf - (11/02/2009) Gefen makes these converters to go from digital-optical to analog audio. Make sure the one you purchase will handle 5.1 surround sound or you will not be able to hear TV broadcasts. You will be able to hear composite inputs, or your component DVD player, and your HDMI inputs,such as a computer with an HDMI output card.

JPTX - (10/27/2009) My problem is the same as everyone else. It started cutting off periodically and then just died out of the blue and will not turn back on. I've tried to get Sony to be accountable but they won't. I will NEVER buy another Sony! I've explained how so many people are having the same problem and they don't care. Apparently they don't see it as a big deal.
