NO PROBLEM. I live in a small town in western PA and had no problem with them delivering this to me. I recently added a Blue Ray disc player and the true 1080p really shows off what this set can do. Don't be afraid to order this and have it delivered.
You won't get that from UPS or FedX. I would add a set of 5.1 surround sound speakers which really make a difference with my BlueRay and Playstation 3 games. DO NOT SEND BOX BACK WITH DRIVER. Delivered it, carried it in, unpacked it, placed it on my TV stand, even thought to put an old sheet I had under the box so dirt didn't get on our carpet. the delivery company, CEVA, was very good to work with. Wait till you see Planet Earth on BlueRay on this set.
The speakers could be a tad better but are fine for TV and sporting events. I have it connected to a Comcast HD cable box and the HD channels and On Demand HD is very good. It happened. The picture quality is amazing. Turned it on and made sure everything worked OK and offered to take the box and packing away with him.
Some of the images are so clear they look almost holographic. I figured I saved about $600 over what I could have bought it for at Best Buy. The driver really relied on communicating via cell once he left the dispatch center for delivery. This is a great TV for the price you pay. See belowWhen I first ordered this from Amazon I was worried about ordering on line so I called their customer service and inquired about "what if something goes wrong." They assured me that if something happened after the driver left within 30 day they would ship me a new TV and take back the damaged one. GUESS WHAT. About a week in the sound started cutting out on it and after a couple of times I called Samsung and they were very good about offering to send someone to my home to check it out but I thought I would give Amazon's customer service a chance first.
I explained to them the situation and asked that they make good on their offer to send a new one. I would have had to haul it myself and doubt my customer service experience would have been as good when something went wrong. It has lots of inputs (3 HDMI) as well as composite and PC inputs as well. Hope this helps some of you that are considering buying this model on line. MAKE SURE you give them cell phone numbers as well as your home phone. Did exactly as Amazon claimed. Shipped out a new one that day, arrived in 5 days, CEVA boxed up the old one, same driver set up new one and I have had no problems since.
If so I highly recommend Amazon.
The TV arrived when scheduled. As a newcomer to the world of High Definition, it took a bit to figure out the settings and connections of the HDMI cable. So far the TV has produced flawlessly and the picture is even better than I had anticipated. After all the time spent resarching TVs I can't imagine I could have made a better choice.
But this time we couldn't overlook it. By mid-game the next weekend I was thinking, "I can do better than this." I ordered the Samsung LN40A650 from Amazon, doubling the resolution or the refresh rate of the other TV I had just purchased. My 15 year old TV that had been struck by lightning twice over the years, but still working, started acting stupid again. I got up Saturday morning after reading TV reviews all night and ran to one of the large electronics stores and bought one of their highest rated TVs. We're stuck watching movies here and there. College football was in full swing and our big screen had been sent in for warranty repairs 2 weeks before football season started. I was less than happy.
I only wish I would have bought one to replace my other hi def that was in the shop at the time. Something it tended to do occasionally but we overlooked its issue since we really relied upon our other hi def big screen. The amazing thing other than the picture of the Samsung LN40A650, I upgraded to it for only $100 more than I paid for the electronic store's model. With 4 or 5 games down, our big screen still out of commission, I had to do something. Game time that afternoon. Now it's a toss up, the comfort of our media room housing my old 52" hi def at 720P backed up by a killer 7.1 surround system, or the amazing beauty and picture of my new 40" Samsung at 1080P with 120Hz refresh rate. Don't make the same mistake I did, buy two of these instead.
This TV is just great. Great Set. Shipper contacted me to set up an appointment convienment to me (not them).
The price in the retail store was higher than what I wanted to spend so when I got home I went to Amazon and found the TV at a considerable less price and decided to purchase it. Great experience. I looked at this TV in a local retail store and was impressed by the picture quality and clarity.
Delivery was within the promised window and they made sure the tv was working before leaving. TV shipped on time and the white glove treatment was more than I expexted. Much more that the local store would offer.
The TV is perfect and has performened flawlessly from day 1. Thank you Amazon amd Samsung.
Excellent communications, excellent delivery. This TV is awesome. Amazon and their merchant were excellent. Overall highly satisfied with the whole experience. Would definetly buy from/through Amazon again.The Samsung TV is an experience in televison viewing in itself.
