How are the Samsung LED tv's?

I have a Sony LCD-Projector which I like, but am looking for a smaller form factor.

Most LCD/LED sets look awful to me. 'Soap Opera Effect', etc. Everything looks too bright and film looks like video.

But I saw a Samsung LED the other day and thought the picture was stunning. Of course stores these days run the same crappy picture through all your tv's - it's not like the old days where you could bring in your dvd and watch the same thing on different tv's.

So, any Samsung LED fans out here? Or should I stick with Plasma for my next set?

The "soap opera effect" is caused by the motion-smoothing feature on LCD or LED sets. The effect can be reduced or completely turned off. Many Samsung sets also have a split-screen "demo" setting that lets you compare the image with and without the feature.

If you are seeing Samsung (or other-brand) TV sets with too-vivid colors, chances are they are poorly calibrated. Get a calibration disc and you'll be much happier with the results.

Saw one at Fry's the other day and thought the picture was really beautiful. Some models of Samsung LEDs are better than others, depending on worthwhile features.

... I use a 32inch LED lit LDC Samsung HD TV as a computer monitor.

I have very happy with it after 10 to 12 months of constant use.

I have hooked it up to a blu ray player & DVD etc when I first got it and remember I was quite impressed with it.

I quite like the bigger models, 55 inch, I have seen in the shops but I personally prefer Plasma for use as a TV or playing digital discs.

IMHO Samsung products have improved out of sight over the last dozen or so years. (they needed to)

I�d get a Plasma TV but I can�t recommend what you get as I think you need to decide which technology you prefer for your needs.
