Good value HDTV
 
Review Date: December 4, 2008
Reviewer: old timer, Radcliff, KY United States
Out of the box I had to assemble the stand and put batteries in the remote, just needed a cross tip screwdriver. It took the set a while to search out all the available cable channels, but it worked fine right from the start. It found a few channels I didn't know were available. Picture is great and it adjusts for the signal automatically, whether standard analog or digital 480 or 720 or 1080i input signal. I hooked up a 1080i upconvert cd player by HDMI cable for the CD movies and it works good. All I had to do for using my pc was to connect the cable and select a screen resolution the TV supported. I thought the side speakers good, but I also have my stereo hooked up for when I play movies. My son's Samsung has more features, but he paid more too. Got mine for $498.
Excellent TV!!!

This is the second time I've bought a Samsung HDTV, the first time it was more to see whether or not it was what I was looking for. The second time was because I really liked the first one. It has a lot better -and crisper- colors and definition than some other brands out there. I didn't have cable nor dish until just a few days ago. I have my big over the air antenna on my roof and I get free HD channels, and so far I've noticed the image is a lot better than the HD channels gotten thru the Dish. I guess it is because the signal from my antenna is not being compressed and the signal from the Dish it is. Anyway, I really like it so I highly recommend it for people who wants to get something really good without paying too much. I've got the HDTV from one of my local Best Buy stores and it was in special, I paid only $330.00 for the 32 inches 720p.
Same thing as on my other Samsung HDTV (46 in): do NOT use it to watch movies thru a DVD player as the quality of the image is a lot lower than on the SDTV; this has nothing to do with the TV, what you need to get the best of your HDTV is to get yourself a Blu-ray player that up-converts the DVDs too. I am very satisfied with my two Samsung TV's.
Good Price, Ok value

So I just bought this from Walmart for $498.00 dollars. I figured its not a bad price since its a good brand. I always liked Samsung tvs so I figured this would be a good value. I do not have HD signal at my house and I know that some TVs don't work well with SDTV when they are ment for HD signal - In my opinion, this is one of them. This is a good tv for the price, but I am not pleased with it. I am sure if I paid for the HD signal it would be much better, but the picture on my 20" sony flat glass tv is much more crisp with SDTV than the samsung ln32A300. If you have HD this is good, even though its only 720p. I wish it was better on regular tv signal.

UNBELIEVABLE VALUE!!!
 
Review Date: November 23, 2009
Reviewer: Snaby, Glen Allen, Virginia
Picked this up in a "pre"-black friday sale. I returned a Samsung Plasma and exchanged it for this LCD LN40B500. I originally bought a Samsung plasma because the salesman sold me on the "better contrast, blacks, and refresh rates of plasmas." Yeah whatever, got it home and absolutely hated the picture quality compared to my previous 720P Samsung LCD. When I saw this TV in a pre-black friday ad for $597 decided to give it a try. Boy am I glad I did. The picture is absolutely amazing. I have watched many types of programs on it so far; movies, cartoons, sports, standard def, high def 1080i, upconverting DVD. All have been more than satisfying and select 1080i channels on FIOS have been absolutely breathtaking visually. Even though this is a 60 HZ model, I'm noticing no motion blur even in sporting events (this can be quite annoying in some "budget" LCD models) No worries, this set can easily handle quick pans and motion without even a hiccup, at least to my untrained eyes. (120 HZ models definitely look different, but to my eyes, different in a bad kind of artificial appearing way). The audio is more than adequate for a reasonably sized room, with a little tweaking of the audio settings I have been watching TV without even firing up the Home Theater Receiver quite often. The picture quality is absolutely stellar, I do recommend getting into the Picture Adjustment Menu though and adjusting the "cell lighting" to setting 5 or 6, as this is more than enough to light the screen, and substantially improves the image and contrast. At this price point, they have cut back on the inputs (2 HDMI) and no inputs on the side, but that wasn't a deal breaker for me, I ran my FIOS through HDMI 1, DVD HDMI 2, and Wii through Component. Hopefully Christmas will bring a BluRay player to see what the 1080P will do on this set. I can't imagine the picture looking any better than it already does. The cost to value ratio on this set is out of the ballpark. (Paid twice this much for a 32 inch 720P Samsung 3 years ago). As long as your cool with the limitted number of inputs and a 40 inch screen size, I wouldn't pass up this deal!
Great value

If you need more than two HDMI inputs, this is not the TV for you. However, it's a fantastic TV for the price. I got mine on black Friday and have barely turned it off ever since I got home.

This is cool.

Product Description

There aren’t other monitors like these anywhere. Of course.

Imagine being inspired by something old to create something completely new. When sand was fused with soda for the first time around 2500 B.C., a new material was created: glass.


And now Samsung designers have fused a clear-as-glass plastic with an opaque, rose-black plastic, to create something completely new in the monitor industry: the Samsung Touch of Color Series widescreen LCD monitors.


Luxurious glass-like frames with gracefully sculpted edges join with rose-black bezels to give a soft hint of rich red. The result is an elegant monitor that feels more like handcrafted artwork than a high-performance office tool.


The stunning Samsung Touch of Color widescreen LCD monitors. The fusion of high technology and high style. With Samsung, it’s not hard to imagine.


They’re works of art. They’ll be a pleasure to work on or game on or whatever on every day. They’re an unexpected bright spot in an industry of sameness. And they’re exactly what you should have been expecting from Samsung.


Samsung values design every bit as much as we value technology. We go to work every morning too, and just like you, we want to feel inspired when we walk in the door each morning.


We feel very strongly that every product we put our logo on should both perform better and look better than anything else on the market. The latest result of that way of thinking is the beautifully hand-sculpted-feeling Touch of Color series monitors.


Yes, it’s a pretty face. But it’s also ready to work.


You can’t just sit and admire your Touch of Color monitor all day long. At some point, you have to turn it on and start working. When you do, you’ll be every bit as impressed with the images as you are with the design.


Features

Reduces Glare
While the crystal-like bezel frame catches light beautifully, it doesn’t glare harshly. In fact, it actually reduces refelection of light off the bezel. ToC monitors are easier on your eyes, in more ways than one.


Better and Safer
Since the rich red color is injection molded for a blown glass effect, instead of spray painted, there’s less environmental impact.


Lower Power Consumption

ToC monitors (T240, T260) are designed to be extremely efficient, and use up to a third less power than other monitors in their class. And the unique SoftPower off function lets you put it in standy mode right away, using just 0.3W.


Integrated USB Hub and HDMI Connection
The ToC will become the center of your life. An integrated USB hub and HDMI connection let you connect all your digital devices, including HD gaming consoles (T240, T260).


20,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio

The ToC monitors continually analyze the input signal and adjust the contrast to match. The ultra-wide range gives you blacks and whites that are full of detail, even under adverse lighting conditions.


Ultra-fast Response Time

2ms GTG response (T190, T220) and 5ms response (T240, T260) ensure blur-free videos and gaming.


Exclusive MagicColor Technology
Samsung’s MagicColor technology gives you richer, more natural color by enhancing the color overall (Full mode) or by enhancing color without affecting delicate skin tones (Intelligent mode).


Exclusive MagicBright 3 Technology
You can make the stunning picture even better. Samsung’s MagicBright 3 technology gives you seven presets, so you can tailor your screen setting to the type of media you’re viewing. Presets include Text, Internet, Game, Sport, Movie, Print View and Custom.


Windows Vista Premium Certification
ToC monitors are designed to take full advantage of everything Windows Vista OS has to offer.


Customizable Hot Key
Want to open a favorite application with one button? Or connect to the internet? Or adjust picture modes? A customizable hot key puts your favorite preference or command at the tip of your finger.


Multi Screen Need some organization in your life?
Multi Screen can help. You can assign applications and open windows to different quadrants of the screen, and reduce desktop clutter. You can even specify that a certain application always open in a specific quadrant, so you’ll always know right where it is.

  • 1000:1 contrast ratio
