Let me just say that I was really excited to get this TV. So excited that I simply forgot to check the pixel response time before I went to purchase it. When I hooked my PS3 up to this TV via HDMI, I noticed horrible ghosting. This is not a fast display. If you’re going to be doing any type of gaming on this display, I would go with something else. Then, after I saw how bad the ghosting and overdrive was, I immediately went online to try to find out what the response time was and what do you know… there’s no response time listed for this model on ANY website. Even the websites that list response time put “N/A” in that section. Do yourself a favor and make sure you know the response time of your TV before you buy it. If it doesn’t list a response time, you’re probably in for trouble.
I also purchased the new 32″ LN32C530 and that screen also had the same horrible ghosting… again, no response time listed anywhere that I could find.
In conclusion, I was not happy with the performance of this monitor. If you want to go ahead and order it anyway, that’s your call, but I’m just putting the warning out that if you don’t like ghosting or overdrive, do not buy this. You’ll be disappointed. Note: I also saw a lot of ghosting in movies too.

I was a little worried about ordering this TV because it was a brand new model (March 2010) and the only review that I could find was a negative one. The tv just arrived today. I was quite pleased with the tv. The picture is vivid and the sound is excellent for such a thin tv. I purchased the tv for my home office and upgraded from an older 23″ Samsung tv which actually took up more space due to its side mounted speakers. If you are looking for a 26″ tv, I feel that it was worth the extra $$$ to get this LED model. This was my first LED tv. The picture is great and it only uses 40 watts of electricity. My old 23″ Samsung used 100 watts. I hooked up the coaxial cable wire to the tv directly and it found all of the analog and digital channels within a few minutes on auto mode. I also hooked up my PS3 via HDMI and it worked right away (The other reviewer wrote about his HDMI cable not producing sound.- Possibly he was using a defective HDMI cable or he had an audio output setting set incorrectly on the device that was connected to the tv…… because the HDMI output works fine on this tv). The only negative is that the tv display is 720p/1080i. The tv does not have 1080p but in all honesty on a tv less than 40″ you really don’t need 1080p. Final verdict- Pricey but worth it…. if this is the size you’re looking for. I only wish that I had room for the 32″ model. Don’t just take my word for it….the tv keeps selling out on Amazon as soon as it comes back in stock.

I now download my movies to my flash drive, plug in, select media player go, so easy and supports most formats, .avi, .mkv, .mov, etc….TV is super thin and light. Easy to move around, only wish the stand was adjustable though.

If you want a very thin TV for a bathroom or bedroom, this is probably fine – with a few caveats.
The screen is very clear and sharp when watching network news or anything that doesn’t include much movement.
Once you get much movement, this screen shows it huge weakness. There is something called “ghosting” (I believe I am using the correct term). That is, when someone is running across the screen it is as if they leave a wake. This is especially evident on channels (CNBC) where there is a scroll at the bottom. I guess this is a function of the refresh rate – which is listed as 60Hz.
Also, when you first get this the picture settings are crazy oversaturated – but those can be fixed.
However, my biggest gripe is with respect to the on/off timer. It seems that the on/off timer only lets you select from two sources (1) TV – which only includes things connected through the coax connection; and (2) USB – a thumb drive. It does not let you select the HDMI input. This is silly. 99% of people hook up their HD set to a cable/satellite box using HDMI cables. This limitation in the TV’s firmware effectively prevents someone from using the on/off timer for a HD source. I have confirmed with Samsung support (and the owner’s manual) that this is a limitation. I specifically bought this for my bedroom to use as an alarm clock. I thought I would be able to set this up to turn the TV on in the morning and it would pop on to the cable box (which is always on). It won’t do that because the cable box is connected over HDMI. This is the dumbest limitation on earth.
On the plus side, it comes with a nice stand, great instructions and has a very nice form factor. The menus are pretty self explainatory. Someone in another review complained about HDMI not giving them audio – they must have hooked it up wrong. I get audio and video over HDMI from my Fios HD box.
Three stars because of very poor HD picture quality and because someone seriously screwed up when designing the on/off timer source selections – hopefully this can be addressed in a firmware update.
