• A big surprise | Rating: | Date: 2008-09-05

  I first saw this TV at Sears and was very disappointed in what I saw. I went back to my AVS Forums and re-read the feedback. I went to Best Buy for another look. I was very impressed with the set there. However, Best Buy would not come off the MSRP and basically told me to buy it from Amazon, so I did. It came with white glove delivery included in the price. That is a must for me.
  
  The delivery service came on time brought the TV up the stairs into my house, unpacked it, put on my stand, and hooked it up to my cable box. The picture was wonderful.
  
  The price of the TV decreased by $100 a week after I bought mine. I sent Amazon an email about this and in a couple of hours they responded and credited my credit card for the $100.
  
  I would highly recommend getting this TV from Amazon. Best Buy does not have the best prices. If you are looking for HDMI cables to hook this set up, I would recommend Bluejean cable online.
  
  Some people have mentioned problems with the sound. I haven't noticed that it is so bad. When I am watching the news or a sports event I usually just use the Samsung speakers. When I watch a movie or a series I usually turn off the Samsung speakers and turn on my AVR. Which brings up the one minor issue I have with the TV. On my old TV I would hit mute and bring up the AVR. On the Samsung if you mute an Icon appears and does not go away. That forces you to go into the menu and turn off the speakers.
  
  The picture quality is outstanding. Even the standard definition broadcasts are better than my old set. I have had my set for about a week and have had no problems.

• Much better than expected! | Rating: | Date: 2008-09-02

  First of all, I have been watching the prices on this TV for several months. I was a bit torn between this one and a 50" 120hz LCD. Obviously, this TV is much larger and is less expensive. I finally caught it on sale & decided to take the plunge. To say that I am satisfied would be an under statement. This TV is fabulous. Do not judge by what you see on the display models in your local store. There is just no way that it will do this unit justice. I always thought that the HL67A750 had a good picture, but I was convinced that the LCD models were slightly more dynamic and crisp based on comparing them in the store. When I got this one home and hooked up (about 15 minutes and it was working with my Dish Network HD receiver) I could not believe the picture. It is at least as good, if not better, than any LCD or plasma picture that I have seen. The menus and settings seem very simple to me and it did not take long before I was comfortable navigating around the various options. If there is a down side, it is that this TV gas so many different picture & sound options that it is hard to decide how you like it set up. I finally settled on one of the built in profiles and kept it there. This TV looks great with the dish HD and also just as great with my local HD programming that I am receiving through my rabbit ears ($2.99 at Big Lots). I use the HDMI interface for the Dish HD receiver and just hook the rabbit ears to the cable coax input. I let it auto program the off air channels which took about 90 seconds. I also have an older DVD/VCR combo hooked up through the RGB component inputs. The DVDs also look very, very good. In fact, it appears to me that the internal algorithms that the Samsung usues to upconvert the input to 1080P are excellent. My current Dish receiver will only output 720p or 1080i signals. The Samsung does a superb job of displaying either of those. One of my local HD stations broadcasts in 720p and the picture is flawless on the Samsung. In fact, any of the digital 480i input looks almost as good as the HD input. This assumes, of course, that the original material is high quality (not replays of ball games from 1986 on ESPN Classic for instance). I would not hesitate to purchase this TV all over again. I am simply in awe of how good the image quality is. As previous reviewers have noted, the sound quality is nothing to rave about, but actually it is not that terrible either. A TV this big & beautiful just begs for a nice surround sound system anyway. Buy & Enjoy!

• Awesome TV | Rating: | Date: 2008-09-02

  In choosing between the Mitsubishi and Samsung, I finally chose the HL67A750 and haven't regretted it. The picture is great and from my research, the LED DLP really made up my mind as it's supposed to last around 60K hours (compared to the 4000 hrs) on the color wheel light source.
  
  I was actually wanting the 72" Samsung, but discovered that it didn't have the LED light source.
  
  The only thing is the sound. This isn't a big deal as it's good enough for watch regular TV - I just turn the surround sound system otherwise.
  
  You won't be disappointed.

• out standing image quality | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-31

  I bought this tv after looking at a lot of others. the colors seem to just pop a little more then the others and the image looks awesome with HD content. Standard definition is alright. But i didnt seem any other tv look any better at this size range with standard definition. Some people complain about the audio. I don't use the tv speakers. The led back lighting is plenty bright even for a room with tons of light. and you dont have to change out the bulb on it as much as a normal rear projection tv. This tv is lighter the the 32 sony crt i had but still takes two people due to its size.

• great tv weak sound | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-28

  we purchased this tv about a month ago and the tv is awsome. The picture in picture is great because you can spilt the screen in half and have two 33 inch sets going at one time. The only thing about the tv we wish was a little better is the sound quality, but if you have a sound system its the perfect tv...
