Samsung 40" Class (40.0" Diag.) 1080p 60Hz LED HDTV UN40EH5000FXZA

Pros: Snagged this bad boy for 450 bucks during the holidays. Really good quality, good viewing angle (45 degrees+), no dead pixels. Only 2 HDMI ports, but for most people that isn't a problem. Would buy again

Cons: Sounds better when hooked to external speakers. On most movies you get an annoying almost vibrating effect. I have a pair of $60 speakers and a $75 stereo, and it works great, no delays or anything. Its running off of the audio out, not digi as well.

Other Thoughts: Had some issues getting my xbox 360 to connect to it. 1080P isn't fully scaled right for some reason, on a slightly lower resolution it is much much more crisp. Not that noticeable during games though.

Pros: -Great Picture.
-Bright and Vibrant colors.
-Easy to use menu.
-Thin frame.

Cons: -After about 90 days of owning this TV I noticed a cluster of about 7-9 dead (black) pixels near the top left of the TV.
-Speakers are not very good (even for a TV).
-Only 2 HDMI inputs.

Other Thoughts: I know theirs a risk of dead pixels with any TV but I heard good things from Samsung so we will see how the RMA goes with Samsung.

Pros: its soo crisp and clear, even my wife loves the clarity and she usually doesnt care about electronics

Cons: I havent found any yet. Other reviews I have seen was able the matte finish, but for the one I have the glare isnt bad.

Pros: Wonder addition to den. Very sharp picture.

Cons: No cons

Pros: Universally high rated on all sites except this one.

Cons: It's a gamble which panel you'll get.

Other Thoughts: Newegg, please tell us which panel Samsung used in your batch of these TVs.

You can tell which panel the TV has by the "Version" on the sticker outside of the box. There's also a sticker on the back of the TV; the "Version" code is below the Model number and above the S/N.

TH0x or TS0x: Samsung S-PVA panel (possibly just a PVA, if you're less lucky). Best color, best black, best viewing angles.

HS0x: Sharp ASV panel: Lower contrast ratio, more narrow viewing angle.

A_0X: AOU A-MVA panel: Even lower contrast ratio.

CH0x or CM0x or CS0x: Chimea S-MVA panel

The "x" is a number, probably from 1-4, that represents the version of that panel - higher means newer but not always better.
