Very bad TV
by Jeremy on Jan 23rd, 2006 at 10:21 AM:
This tv is not very good. After a few weeks it broke down and prior to that the picture was junk. Its aux components are also not very good. I would not recomend it to anyone. The price is also a rip off.
Dead on Arrival

My Samsung 61" dlp was dead on arrival when it arrived from Best Buy. No picture no sound no nothing. I get the replacement one tomorrow, if it is doa I will get a complete refund. They give you 30 days to change your mind.My advice is get the extended warranty,after all its made in Mexico
Dim Picture

I am very disappointed. Although the set looked great in a dark showroom, my viewing room is light. A football game on Sunday afternoon is hardly visible. In addition, the black levels are so poor that significant detail is lost when watching Batman or similarly dark films. Im now shopping for a plasma at roughly the same price.
Number of premature failures-Poor

I have the Samsung HLN617W., purchased new in mid 2003. Initaillay it had great picture quality, which rapidly degraded to a mediocre picture. After 4-6 months, a loud high pitched shrieking noise came from the set while it was operating. I had to have the lamp and color wheel replaced. It worked for about 7-8 months and the same shrieking noise is coming from the unit again. Now its out of warrenty and I think it wil be at least $600 to fix it.
I expedted more from a $5200 set only 18 months old

Very poor quality, difficult, time consuming and costly repairs

My take away message is;
I will never buy another SAMSUNG product ever again.
