I was a little worried about ordering this TV because it was a brand new model (March 2010) and the only review that I could find was a negative one. The tv just arrived today. I was quite pleased with the tv. The picture is vivid and the sound is excellent for such a thin tv. I purchased the tv for my home office and upgraded from an older 23″ Samsung tv which actually took up more space due to its side mounted speakers. If you are looking for a 26″ tv, I feel that it was worth the extra $$$ to get this LED model. This was my first LED tv. The picture is great and it only uses 40 watts of electricity. My old 23″ Samsung used 100 watts. I hooked up the coaxial cable wire to the tv directly and it found all of the analog and digital channels within a few minutes on auto mode. I also hooked up my PS3 via HDMI and it worked right away (The other reviewer wrote about his HDMI cable not producing sound.- Possibly he was using a defective HDMI cable or he had an audio output setting set incorrectly on the device that was connected to the tv…… because the HDMI output works fine on this tv). The only negative is that the tv display is 720p/1080i. The tv does not have 1080p but in all honesty on a tv less than 40″ you really don’t need 1080p. Final verdict- Pricey but worth it…. if this is the size you’re looking for. I only wish that I had room for the 32″ model. Don’t just take my word for it….the tv keeps selling out on Amazon as soon as it comes back in stock.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

Samsung LED HDTVs combine breakthrough picture quality and advanced connectivity options that will keep you entertained 24ǝ. This UN26C4000 LED HDTV also makes it easy to be green, and will save you some green, by being ENERGY STAR compliant.
This review is from: Samsung UN26C4000 26-Inch 720p 60 Hz LED HDTV (Black) (Electronics)
Let me just say that I was really excited to get this TV. So excited that I simply forgot to check the pixel response time before I went to purchase it. When I hooked my PS3 up to this TV via HDMI, I noticed horrible ghosting. This is not a fast display. If you’re going to be doing any type of gaming on this display, I would go with something else. Then, after I saw how bad the ghosting and overdrive was, I immediately went online to try to find out what the response time was and what do you know… there’s no response time listed for this model on ANY website. Even the websites that list response time put “N/A” in that section. Do yourself a favor and make sure you know the response time of your TV before you buy it. If it doesn’t list a response time, you’re probably in for trouble.
I also purchased the new 32″ LN32C530 and that screen also had the same horrible ghosting… again, no response time listed anywhere that I could find.
In conclusion, I was not happy with the performance of this monitor. If you want to go ahead and order it anyway, that’s your call, but I’m just putting the warning out that if you don’t like ghosting or overdrive, do not buy this. You’ll be disappointed. Note: I also saw a lot of ghosting in movies too.

I was very excited about this purchase, the price point is great and it is a Samsung. The first shipment got here quickly and I was happy to set it up. As soon as I turned on my PS3 I noticed the left speaker (they are hidden by the way, which looks great!) would go in and out. I tried many different input devices and the sound problem continued so I knew it was the TV.
I sent it back (Amazon was great by the way) and got a replacement… no sound issues. I thought it was a simple mistake and I was unfortunate and happily set up the new one. Later that night I was watching a BD and noticed the screen would darken and lighten about every ten seconds, over and over again. It continued to do this even as I turned the movie off and switched over to the X360. Called Samsung customer support and they basically told me I needed service, the nice lady then recommended (since it was only a day old and all) I simply return it to the place of purchase for a new one. Well after two tries and both being lemons right out of the box, I can’t justify trying again. It’s a shame because the picture quality is great, exactly what you would expect from a Samsung and it was really hard for me to have to move on for another brand. I still plan on purchasing a Samsung, but I won’t lie and say this experience has made me very hesitant.
Keep in mind, this is a very new model. I cannot recommend purchase of this set right now, but I’m sure in the future it will get a lot stronger. Furthermore, I could simply be extremely unlucky to get two lemons in a row.

I have delayed upgrading to HDTV for quite a while waiting for better technology and lower prices. I decided to try the Samsung 40 inch LED HDTV capable of 3D after watching a number of different sets from a number of different manufacturers. I specifically avoided the Plasma type TVs due to the large amount of Radio Frequency Interference that they generate. The Samsung TV has a beautiful bright Clear color picture and meets all of my expectations!! On black and white shows, the picture is almost too good as it is very crisp! On 3D movies, using the required 3D glasses, the picture is just plain astounding!!!!! It feels like you are in the middle of the action. For the price, the 40 inch Samsung is highly recommended as a BEST BUY by me!!! If you want to watch 3D blu-ray movies, you must purchase the 3D specific Blu-Ray player from Samsung, as well as the Samsung 3D glasses. Not inexpensive,but well worth the money!! I LOVE Mine!

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

This review is from: Samsung UN40C7000 40-Inch 1080p 240 Hz 3D LED HDTV (Black) (Electronics)
I have delayed upgrading to HDTV for quite a while waiting for better technology and lower prices. I decided to try the Samsung 40 inch LED HDTV capable of 3D after watching a number of different sets from a number of different manufacturers. I specifically avoided the Plasma type TVs due to the large amount of Radio Frequency Interference that they generate. The Samsung TV has a beautiful bright Clear color picture and meets all of my expectations!! On black and white shows, the picture is almost too good as it is very crisp! On 3D movies, using the required 3D glasses, the picture is just plain astounding!!!!! It feels like you are in the middle of the action. For the price, the 40 inch Samsung is highly recommended as a BEST BUY by me!!! If you want to watch 3D blu-ray movies, you must purchase the 3D specific Blu-Ray player from Samsung, as well as the Samsung 3D glasses. Not inexpensive,but well worth the money!! I LOVE Mine!
Samsung UN40C7000 40-Inch 1080p 240 Hz 3D LED HDTV (Black)
This TV has many pros…the color is great, the picture is crystal clear, and has many adjustments…The best part is the speakers are in front, and not on the bottom. The worst part, is accessing the sleep mode. It takes way too many steps.

This review is from: Samsung LN26C350 26-Inch 720p 60 Hz LCD HDTV (Black) (Electronics)
This TV has many pros…the color is great, the picture is crystal clear, and has many adjustments…The best part is the speakers are in front, and not on the bottom. The worst part, is accessing the sleep mode. It takes way too many steps.
We bought this TV for our bedroom. This is a great looking TV and the reddish horizontal line at the bottom is subtle. It is sleek and the controls are almost invisible when you are looking at the TV from a front point of view. In fact the power button is discreet to a fault as we turn the power on via the power button on the TV – not the remote – it’s on the side and you can’t see it so you have to “feel” for the power button. Now maybe in a brighter room this wouldn’t be a problem but our TV sits inside of an amoire. The picture is beautiful and clear and of course especially on the HDTV channels. The sound is excellent (I think earlier versions of this TV had sound quality complaints). The setup process was not as easy as expected as we had to spend some time on the phone with Comcast to get things correctly set up and subsequently had to get a new box for all the HDTV channels. Would definetly recommend this Samsung HDTV.

This review is from: Samsung LN26C450 26-Inch 720p 60 Hz LCD HDTV (Black) (Electronics)
Pros: -Deepest black levels I’ve seen on a 26″ or 32″ LCD TV. -Perfect backlight uniformity on mine; no flashlighting or backlight bleed. -Good color accuracy on the warm1 setting. -Very lightweight -Plays xvid encoded avi files off of usb flash drives.
Cons: -Noticeable ghosting during motion. -Game mode is grayed out when connected to my computer through HDMI.
I don’t speak english enough for a review, so I’ll resume my experience with this amazing tv.
Pros:
- The first good impression I had, was the very good built quality and the soft weight. - The Design is very nice, the TV side is really slim and the color is a kind of black mate, beautiful. - The image quality is really impressing. - The stand is the best designed I have seen. - Is so far better than my 1 year old Samsung LCD Series 7 - If you have a Xbox 360 you will see totally different the way to play games - The allshare is one of the best functions on that tv, pictures, videos, music and everything you have on your computer you can see on TV.
Cons:
- No 3D (I know is not included on this model) - No built in wi-fi, only wired internet (You have to buy the wi-fi adapter separately.) - The internet apps is starting so no expect the apps you see on amazon page - The allshare doesn’t work with Mac
In resume i love it, I don’t know if is because is my first LED tv, but it is everything I was expected from Samsung and is better so far, I’m using 2 weeks now, and I can’t see movies o games again on my old TV.
::::UPDATE:: 04/19/2010
I’m updating that review to share how I have improved my experience with that TV!
CALIBRATION FOR XBOX 360

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Samsung UN46C6500 46-Inch 120 Hz 1080p LED HDTV (Black) (Electronics)
I bought this tv (46′ inch, LED) at Amazon.com as I moved into my first home. I wanted the best tv I could find (without buying a 3D TV). I lucked out when this tv went on sale ($1,889 with $400 back in Amazon gift cards, net $1,489). I am hanging it on the wall and it looks spectacular. The colors are so true and the picture so crisp that people are amazed at what they see. The 120 mHz really changes how you watch shows although I have had some negative feedback from that standpoint. Some have said it makes all shows look like soap operas, although I think it’s an improvement from the former 60 mHz tv’s.
One other negative, if you turn the lights down in the room the tv actually adjusts to this and darkens the tv, something that I did not like during the NBA Finals. If you have a very dark room you might want to think about another tv, although maybe you can change the presets to offset this (I have not fiddled with these yet).
All in all it’s an amazing tv and one well worth the money and I would definitely tell my friends to buy the same.
I have delayed upgrading to HDTV for quite a while waiting for better technology and lower prices. I decided to try the Samsung 40 inch LED HDTV capable of 3D after watching a number of different sets from a number of different manufacturers. I specifically avoided the Plasma type TVs due to the large amount of Radio Frequency Interference that they generate. The Samsung TV has a beautiful bright Clear color picture and meets all of my expectations!! On black and white shows, the picture is almost too good as it is very crisp! On 3D movies, using the required 3D glasses, the picture is just plain astounding!!!!! It feels like you are in the middle of the action. For the price, the 40 inch Samsung is highly recommended as a BEST BUY by me!!! If you want to watch 3D blu-ray movies, you must purchase the 3D specific Blu-Ray player from Samsung, as well as the Samsung 3D glasses. Not inexpensive,but well worth the money!! I LOVE Mine!

I got this tv on sale the day after it arrived in stores for only $720 and I could not be happier with it. The picture is fantastic right out of the box. As with all plasmas, make sure you take the break in period seriously by turning down the contrast and brightness a bit for the first 100-200 hours. I’ve also been running the anti-burn in scrolling feature for about an hour a night when I go to bed and have yet to notice any sort of image retention although I haven’t played any video games on it yet.
There’s a lot of chatter about these Samsung plasmas having an annoying buzzing sound coming from them but I have yet to notice it. Maybe I just got lucky with mine but it runs very quietly.

This review is from: Samsung PN50C450 50-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV (Black) (Electronics)
Samsung PN50C450 I picked up my PN50C450 on Friday March 19th from BestBuy after months of research. In general I don’t make purchases from BestBuy. I did the “purchase online / pick up in store” option and was very satisfied (I avoid sales people whenever possible :>). Sorry for the long review but it took me 4-5 months of research to pull the trigger on this TV. Here are my impressions.
Setup Instructions on the box for removing the TV were clear. After a quick look at the assembly instructions (and sending my kids upstairs to play for 20 minutes) I screwed on the mounting bracket to the base. Just as I read on other reviews these screws did NOT go in easy. Samsung needs to address this as it doesn’t instill confidence in the product when the first step in assembly has a minor glitch. Had a bit of a time getting the TV to lineup with the bracket (my issue not the TV). Put in the last 4 screws in the back and those went in much easier. Took a step back and looked at it, “dude that thing is huge” (large smile on my face)
Power On Now the moment of truth……IS IT GOING TO BUZZ? I powered it on and……..not a sound to be heard… totally silent! For a second I thought maybe I didn’t power it on but the little “musical tone” went off indicating that it was on. This was my #1 concern with all the things I read about buzzing. Maybe I got lucky, maybe I just can’t hear a buzz or maybe it’s not as much as an issue as everyone keeps saying? Sure, I stuck my head behind the TV over the next few days and really tried to listen for a buzzing sound. I found if I got on a stool and put my ear really close to the top of the TV (careful it gets hot) I could hear the sound of “electricity” same as my old CRT TV. IN SHORT NO BUZZING.
Connecting Stuff HDMI: After some research about the whole HDMI controversy (Monster vs cheap cable) Cnet put everything in perspective for me, “it’s digital, just get the cheapest cable you can find”. Believe it or not BigLots had a gold plated 6′ HDMI cable for $12.00 (BestBuy’s least expensive was $29.99). So I picked up one HDMI cable, 4 cans of diced tomatoes, yellow mustard and a 6 pack of root beer (God Bless America).
I connected the HDMI to my U-verse box and immediately went to the first HD channel I could find. I then switch to the corresponding SD channel and flipped back and forth several times. It’s a big difference between SD and HD (although my kids and my wife didn’t seem to care, but they have not yet given into HD madness).
I then connected my Wii with the standard cables it came with. The picture was obviously not HD but that was to be expected with the Wii. PQ was fine for gaming. The new Super Mario Brothers is way more fun (4 player mode) when you have so much digital real-estate to play on. I’m going to pick up a set of component cables just as a few people at AVS forum recommended . Overall the PQ was fine for gaming.
I don’t have a Blu-Ray player yet so I did a test with my DVD player. Movies looked good after fussing with the screen size settings. I know Blu-ray DVD up scaling will be a significant improvement. I also need to pick up an antenna so I can get OTA HD channels. From what I’ve read the OTA signal is not compressed (like my U-verse signal) so I’m excited to see what kind of results I can get.
TV Viewing and Settings Right out of the box in “Standard Mode” the picture looked kind of dark and the colors were kind of flat. I then scrolled through to “Movie” mode. That was much better but still the colors were not super impressive. Then I switch to “Dynamic”…..who the heck came up with this setting? Very bright and colors looked like a carnival. Unfortunately “dynamic” is the mode for choice for my kids when they play the Wii. I guess that would be the only time you would need this setting?
In order to get the best picture I took the advice of many of you and tweaked the movie mode settings. Thank you [...] users for posting the custom settings. They worked great!! I think I still need to bump down the skin tone setting one more notch but I’m very happy with the way it looks.
There is a lot of talk about Black Lines, Screen Doors, Dither etc….. I don’t seem to have any of these issues (maybe ignorance is bliss?). I do get a little pixilation on HD channels sometimes but I think that has more to do with my HD signal being compressed (thanks AT&T).
Glare: I have the TV in a corner of our room that has a window flanking the left of the TV and a sliding glass door facing from the other room. Sure you get some glare in the middle of the day but if you just draw the curtains (and I’m not talking about black-out shades, just normal curtains) its fine. At certain angles at night I can see a lamp or kitchen light reflecting on the screen. I’ve found that most lights have these things called switches which allow you to turn them on/off. That seems to solve the problem :>)
Image Burn/retention: This was another major concern I had prior to purchasing plasma in general. I’ve come to the conclusion that as long as you don’t spend 5 hours straight playing COD4 with the brightness up to 100, image burn is not an issue. I’d say our family is average when it comes to TV use. We’ve played the Wii and watched movies/TV and over the last week I have never seen any indication of image burn (and trust me I’ve been looking for it). And NO I didn’t run any break in DVD’s either.
Sound: With the way people complain about the sound I thought it was going to be like listening to the TV via a tin can and string. Do the speakers compare to a separate surround sound system running from a receiver….NO. Are you going to hear chest thumping bass when you watch a movie…NO. Relax people, the sound on the TV is just fine. All of my u-verse TV viewing is done exclusively via the TV speakers right now. I watched a concert the other night and I thought it sounded great. The Wii and DVD are currently running through my receiver and 5 speakers and yes it sounds better through that. But that is to be expected.
General PQ: The real test was last Sunday night when Discovery showed their LIFE series. The whole family sat down to watch our new Plasma. It was ideal viewing with a pitch black room (it felt just like a movie theater) I actually heard one of my kids gasp because it looked so real. My youngest wasn’t too happy with all the HD close ups of bugs and kept his hands over his eyes because it looked too real. I personally couldn’t believe how clear the picture was. I’m finding out that not all HD channels are the same. Some have great HD and some are so/so. That’s more of the fault of u-verse and the compression they use on their HD channels. But after watching that I was sold!!!! I know that Blu-ray is going to be even better than this experience. 720P: When I was in BestBuy this TV was right next to a 1080P TV and you could see a little bit more details when you were 2-3′ away. But at 8-9′ (my TV viewing) I couldn’t see the difference. NON ISSUE FOR ME. But how are the Blacks you ask?: wouldn’t you know that the blacks look……well…..black (not grey). Very happy.
Gripes: I use my u-verse remote to watch TV. I only use the Samsung remote to switch inputs or change the screen setting. The Samsung remote is about as responsive as molasses in January. I’m not sure where they put the stupid sensor for the TV but it must be under the base. Switching from SD to HD shows and visa/versa and dealing with the different screen formats is a pain. HD looks great in 16ɍ but then the SD shows are not full screen so you have to flip “fit to screen” to fix that. All of this screen gymnastics is getting old. I wish there was a setting to say, “hello TV…just fill the screen for me to give me the best possible picture”. Swivel would be nice as it takes 2 people to “swivel” the TV manually. Since I don’t have the component cables for my Wii I have to swap the DVD and Wii between the 1 in-put that supports them. I wish it had 1 more set of composite connections on the side. For now that’s about it.
Conclusion: So far I love this TV. The only issue now is competing for screen time between the Kids/wife. I’m glad I got the 50″ as I know I would not have been happy with the 42″. For the price I don’t think you can go wrong with this TV.
Update 6/10/10: I’ve had the TV for almost 3 months now and I am still enjoying it very much. For the most part I think it’s “broken in” now. I did have to tweak some of my initial setting from when I got it. I did purchase a component cable for my Wii and it looks much better with the new cable. I really didn’t have any issues with IR. Once in a while when my kids would go on a Wii binge you could see some IR but running the scrolling feature for a few min took care of that quick. I don’t have a blu-ray player yet but the HD quality for AT&T U-verse is pretty good. Still no buzzing (never had an issue with mine). I did hook up a usb flash drive to it to view some pictures I put on it. Wow! it does a great job displaying pictures.
I’ll report back when I get a Blu-ray player (maybe fathers day???).
