I watched this plasma for 3 months as the price came down and finally pulled the trigger in time for Christmas delivery. I purposely waited until it was offered through Amazon to get the white glove delivery (the set weighs 200 lbs in the box). Since it was my first major purchase I elected to use the 1-888 number and talk to a real person at Amazon. She was helpful and was able to identify the delivery company that would be bringing the set (CEVA)and said it would likely show up on the 23rd or 24th. A couple days later and after about 15 min. of internet homework I located the CEVA distribution center, got a phone number, called them and confirmed that the set was sitting on the dock. Their local delivery chief even called me back personnally and we coordinated a delivery on the 23rd. They showed up within 5 minutes of when they said they would arrive. In 15 minutes they had it unpacked, brought in, placed in my entertainment center, hooked up and turned on. (Prior to that I had gone on Samsung's website and downloaded the user manual. It showed me that all connections except power were in the lower right hand quadrant of the set. So I was able to have all the HDMI, opticals, etc. premarked and prestrung before they came.) They took all the packing materials and left me to enjoy a fantastic picture. With Dolby 7.1 it really rocks. What really surprised me most was how the high resolution supports sitting much closer to the screen than I would have thought possible (when its showing HD). Bottom line: Great System, Great Delivery, Great Price.

I ordered this TV through Amazon/ButterflyPhoto. To be honest I was a bit concerned that I would have issues with the delivery. Come to find out, my fears were completely unfounded. I had an excellent experience. I ordered it on a Monday and it was in my living room on Wednesday.

The TV itself is amazing--despite what one other reviewer had to say about it. It comes on the swivel stand, which is rather sturdy and bears the weight of the TV rather well.

The picture is amazing--even on non-high def channels. I had a Sony HDTV prior to this and with this TV it is as if I had never truly seen High Def programming. The non-HD signal on regular digital channels are as good as the HD picture on the Sony and the HD signal on the Samsung is incomparable!

I thought that I would not like the fact that the TV does not have a wide-zoom option for picture size, but it is not an issue. Leaving the TV in 16:9 aspect ratio is fine--it is hardly noticeable.
