Sweet HDTV

Bright sharp picture , nice blacks, very easy to setup.

Price + no tax + free shipping = great deal

TV's speaker output is weak.

The reviewer "Bend over" is a couple cans short of a six pack.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Samsung cheaped out

Great sound, brightness, viewing angle, color contrast, this tv really was great for its time

unfortunately this great TV has a common issue, actually this issue plagues many Samsung tv's of this generation. (buy with caution) The capacitors on the power supply of this generation of Samsung TV's are low quality and when they burn out the TV goes into a boot loop where it turns itself on and of rapidly repeatedly. This issue could of been avoided if Samsung spent .50 cents more per TV for better capacitors. Because of this some TV's of this generation are part of a class action lawsuit... but this one isn't covered.

If your TV has this issue then there are two different steps you can take,
1)buy a new power supply board, Samsung charges $135. E bay charges around $50 (used)
2)you can replace the dead capacitors on the power board with high capacity ones. This is the method I did, and I had to replace two capacitors with higher quality ones. I bought them for a dollar each. However this requires that you know how to solder, if you can google about the issue because there is a lot of tutorials because others have had this issue.
