Buying this tv from Amazon was a great experience. It was delivered and set up in our home and made sure that it was in working order, before the delivery personnel left. The tv itself has a beautiful picture and sound. We couldn’t be more pleased.

We already have one Samsung lcd tv 40′ (forget the model, might be LN40B550 something) and we like it. As family grows we need another lcd tv, which is slightly bigger but not too big due to room size. This time when we got started we tried to avoid Samsung since personally we are the kind of people who like trying different models/manufacturers and hate sticking to one particular one. We shopped around in Amazon, and even walked in local BestBuy for other lcds like Toshiba, Panasonic, Sharp, Sony, etc. We were kind of disappointed there are just NOT any other model that is close to Samsung lcd tv in term of the ratio of quality/price.

After about 2~3 weeks we finally gave up and bought this one LN46C630. Since we have experience with Samsung we don’t expect any surprise. But surprise really comes! This model has much clearer resolution than the other one (LN40B550) and even from the kitchen I can see clearly the captions near the bottom of the screen. We guess that might be due to the big size of screen, but I am not convinced 6′ difference can make it so clear. Also the sound is much better too. We have the new tv for about 3 weeks now, everything works perfectly so far.

Remember though you need a little bit time to install the stand and tighten the tv, normally within 10 minutes. I am a short guy and my wife is pregnant but we had no any problem getting it set up smoothly in about 8 minutes. The only downside is that the delivery service company Amazon contracts has no weekend delivery option, but anyway you can always schedule it on Friday later afternoon right …

I’ve never purchased anything online that cost so much, but my son encouraged me to do so. It was a great experience. The TV was delivered on time, in perfect condition, and I would highly recommend buying through Amazon at least with this vendor/partner. I saved $200 by doing so and am very happy!

I have had my Samsung TV for about a month now and I absolutely love it! I ordered it from amazon.com and when it arrived, the delivery men set it up for me! I did a lot of homework prior to choosing a TV to buy, and Samsung always had the best ratings and reviews, but they were consistently higher priced. This Samsung is not only affordable, ($50 more than the Vizio I was looking at buying,) it has so many more features (as well as much better specs,) than the other TV’s in it’s price range. It is, in my opinion, the best LCD flat panel TV buy in this price range. The sound and color are amazing. It looks attractive and is very user-friendly. The features are endless on this TV as well! You can adjust any of the features to suit your tastes and needs. This is my first flat-panel TV and I have had no problems or complaints so far. I would definitely recommend this TV over all others in this price range.

This model replaces LG’s mid-range offerings from the past two years which are currently being sold or cleared out at the various retailers. I did a lot of research between brands and models, and am convinced that this is currently the best combination of price/performance/features. Sale prices are more than $100 less than the older models, too.

Size: 37″ TVs aren’t as commonly stocked in stores, but I think it’s a great size with a bigger picture than 32″ without many more $$$. 40″ or 42″ were just too big for me to use and usually entailed a significant price jump.

Picture: The picture is fantastic, and the Picture Wizard tutorial helps get the colors set to something pleasing in short order. Viewing at an angle is superb, and was a differentiating factor from the Sony EX series. The Sonys washed out considerably with only a small change in viewing angle. I was tempted by LEDs but found the reflectiveness of their screens too distracting. I also looked into the 120 Hz models but, in my humble opinion, found them to be much ado about nothing. I like to watch action sports and have found everything to be crystal clear at 60 Hz. Side by side in the store I found the LG and comparable Samsung to be nearly identical.

Sound: I was prepared for the worst after reading scores of reviews saying that the sound out of this grade of speakers was terrible. I’ve been delighted with the output and the “surround” enhancement was good enough to be disconcerting (only because I wasn’t expecting it). There are 5 sound modes in addition to custom; I haven’t reached an opinion yet about these being a positive or negative. I see no need to get external speakers at this point.

[as an aside, I found one station for which the sound was out of sync with the picture. I'm connected via HDMI to a FiOS HD box. I'm not enough of a techie to know the cause for this, but all the stations that are my regulars are fine. It was PetHD that was out of sync.]

Features: There are ample inputs, including USB, but to date I’ve only used the HDMI. Unless you are looking for cutting edge Internet connectivity and are willing to pay for it, this has everything you need. I personally don’t see the world of TV moving to 3D anytime soon, if at all, and certainly the current offerings aren’t ready for prime time. For a 60 Hz, 1080p LCD TV there wasn’t anything better that I found (that was worth the extra money).

Bottom Line: Great picture, great price. I was surprised that I got mine at Sears (of all places) for a price that blew everyone else away. I usually order from amazon with Prime shipping, but until last week their price wasn’t competitive. My research told me that the prices on all these sets are in constant flux and the best price this week won’t be at the same place next week.
