The Bottom Line:
I would highly recommend this product to anyone. Picture quality relative to price is second to none in this size of TV.
My 1994 Sony 27" TV still worked great. I just got a hankering for the HDTV, especially with the NFL playoffs coming up. Watching a game in HDTV just can't be compared.
While shopping, I immediately excluded Plasma screens due to the fact that they have such bad burn-in problems. Plus Plasma and LCD are so expensive. I narrowed my choices down to LCD rear projection or the Samsung DLP.
While looking at both, I noticed on the LCD rear projection TVs that there are 2 issues that the Samsung DLP doesn't have. 1) blacks look washed out on the LCD. 3) sometimes there appears to be a 'screen door' effect on the LCD.
The Samsung doesn't have either of these problems. The picture quality is outstanding on either HDTV or traditional 480 line TV. After using the TV for 3 weeks now, my opinion hasn't changed one bit. More positive aspects, the Samsung seems to start up quickly and has relatively good image quality from angles other than looking directly at the screen.
Here comes the nit picking. First, the Picture-in-Picture swap feature that allows you to switch to viewing the program displayed in the inset box only works between traditional 480i components (i.e. TV or VCR). If you want to quickly view what's on HDTV (via my HDTV off-air receiver) you have to press the TV/Video button on the remote and find right HD component. Second, also on PIP, listening to the audio in the program displaying in the inset, without swapping, is an effort. You have to go through several sub-menus to accomplish this. The feature should be easier to access on the remote.
