I like it, took a good hour or so to finally bite my lip and get it. There is so many different aspects to look at when getting one of these. I never really payed much attention until it actually came time to get it.

Nice choice, that will be a great TV! Samsung rocks right now.

Re: New TV today!
 

Nice! We just picked up a new Samsung as well. First one actually died within a week. The free replacement is working peachy. NFL in HD FTW!

Re: New TV today!
 

Yeah I'm not going to get screwed on another TV, Bought the 3 years service with this thing. Worth the extra 300 bucks if it ever shits the bed.

Re: New TV today!
 

We have 20 more days to decide on the service plan, not sure what we will do yet. Our first one just wouldn't turn back on after last sunday. We picked ours up from CC and they have been great to deal with, quick delivery of replacement was a nice touch.

I love my Samsung. CSI Miami in HD rocks.

I have been looking into a nice HD LCD now that my g/f bought me one of those XBOX360 Elites. Nice choice.

Re: New TV today!
 

Which cable do I need to hook up my laptop to the TV? So many different things out there just confuses me..


With audio too btw..

Re: New TV today!
 

My buddy across the hall (I live in the dorms) has a best buy brand 34"? HDTV and that shit is bananas, I can hardly fathom what the samsung must be like. The broadcast HD channels kick ass, I cant go over there when he's watching TV because whether I am into the show or not I end up watching it because the picture is so clear. Nice purchase man.

Re: New TV today!
 

The link you posted said it had a PC input, which means it should have a VGA hook up, just like a monitor has. Usually a VGA plug is blue in color.

Once you get your first HDTV, you end up watch 10x more TV than you use too. And then you keep asking yourself, why you didn't buy one sooner. ;)

later,

Well ordered up the VGA cable and speaker cable and new coaxial cord. The TV and I are going to have quite the future together.. hehe.

Yes Hughes, I know I gotta get the Talon going.

Re: New TV today!
 

Nice buy! I looked at the larger ones but 40 inches is plenty big for what I'd want.

Re: New TV today!
 

I must say, Having the laptop hooked up to this tv is the shit. Using a 40 inch tv as a monitor is fucking awesome!

Re: New TV today!
 

Question: My TV is a 720, I feel as if I am kicking myself about this. I have until the 21st to bring this back and upgrade to a better 1080 i or p. What should I do? I gotta act quick if I do! Opinions and and comments are much welcomed!

Re: New TV today!
 

For a 40" I wouldn't bother, once you get over about 50", then you want more. If you are going to use it as a monitor for the lappy a lot, then you might want to upgrade.

Re: New TV today!
 

In most cases I can't even tell the differance between 720 and 1080. If it's more $$$ and you use it more for standard tv and as a monitor you could just leave it as is. If it's not much more and you want to change it, do it now.

The only thing you can even view in 1080P is PS3 games (like a handful) and blueray movies.

If you can get 1080i, it's ALMOST the same. It does make a difference, but until 720p TVs are gone and 1080p is THE standard (meaning they can't charge extra for it) I will wait on getting a 1080p TV.

The TV you got was a great choice, I love my Samsung DLP. Curt is also completely right, I didn't watch shit for TV until I got mine, and now I spend at least a night a week vegetating in front of it.

Re: New TV today!
 

Yea there is a major price jump between 720 and 1080 so I figured it wasnt worth it... And the difference is not hugely drastic like HD vs analog.
