Advantages: Very Nice Design; Huge Screen; Truely HD Ready Disadvantages: Some Loading Times Between Modes
...subject can see that the Samsung PS42S5H is indeed a complete High Definition Television package. Those of you without said knowledge should read on and I will explain how the TV will brighten up your life and your living room.
Aesthetics
The Samsung PS42S5H is very aesthetically pleasing. It comes in either "black" or "black and silver" and will therefore look stunning in any room with any decor. The built in stand does its job perfectly and does ... ...Picture Quality
The Samsung PS42S5H is a HD Ready TV which means it is at the pinnacle of screen resolution technology. The ability to output in 420p, 720p and 1080i means that it will be able to cope with any future technologies for many years to come. When connected to a HD device (such as in my case a Xbox 360) the picture quality is unbelievable. Regular analogue and SD digital signals will also be improved. The only drawbacks however were when ...

Advantages: Looks Good Disadvantages: Poor picture quality
This TV is very poor quality when watching Sky channels. Picture is very grainy and if you want to watch the football on this TV then I suggest you spend a bit more and get a better TV. The picture is appalling. BBC channels are also very poor. I am trying to return back to Curry's but they are telling me that this is the picture I have to expect. I am told by Master care that this TV is designed for HD viewing and I will not get a good picture until ... ...out an engineer to look at the TV and he seems to think this poor quality is acceptable. Curry's are not interested at all now they have my money. Yes the design of the TV is very nice but if you can't get a decent picture on it then there is no point. Be careful when viewing in curry's as most of the time they will show a dvd on the TV screens. The quality of this is better than watching TV. When I asked them to show me a picture on TV I pointed ...

Advantages: Looks Sweet In The Room Disadvantages: The Picture Ain't that Good At All
Picture quality is poor when connected through sky. Not very good at processing the picture when watching football. If you want a good TV to watch the world cup then try another TV. The picture may be better in High definition but that could still be quite away yet. Remember you will have to put up with this picture until Sky releases the HD boxes. As of yet no one knows how much they are going to be. The TV itself looks good but the quality of the ... ...processing. There is a demo that lets you watch the TV with one half with the DNie switched on, the other switched off. Yes, you can see a big difference but when you switch it off the picture does not look as good as it does in the demo. Good sound quality. Gives a good surround sound effect with several different pre-set sounds. Movie, music etc. I would advise that you go to a retailer and look at the quality of this before you purchase on the ...

Advantages: Good picture. Fair Sound. Disadvantages: Very heavy. Non-existent customer service.
I used to own one of this during 2006/2007. While the overall quality is good and the picture has a good resolution, the sound is a little bit lacking. You can view the image comfortably at almost any angle. My main concern is that Samsung's customer service is probably one of the worst ever. One of the connectors came loose and the first word out of their mouth (without seeing the problem) was that it was due to "abuse".
The reality was that when ...

Advantages: powerfull and clear Disadvantages: i couldnt find any to be truth ful
I recently purchased this screen and find it to be absolutely fantastic, it rivals the Panasonic HD screen for it's looks and is significantly lower in price. I was origionally concerned about the HD suitability as many screens claim to be HD but are not, this screen sports a HDMI input and the right resolutions so I knew it would be True HD ready for the football next summer. For it's true value and awesome picture quality I recommend this to anybody. ...
