Very Disappointed2008-12-03
I bought the Samsung 850 because of all the great reviews and amazing picture quality. However, the tv was a big disappointment because when I turned the tv on my remote for my cable box would not work. Samsung tech came and replaced IR unit which did not fix the problem. Was told yesterday by Samsung that their engineers came up with a fix "main board replacement" 6-8 week wait. I'm returning the tv to Amazon and buying a Sony. Amazon was wonderful regarding the return. Shame on Samsung.
Waiting on Iit!2008-12-02
Well By the Reviews I have seen I just ordered My Samsung 52" 850 two days ago.
Now I need some help on this guys, First time having an HDTV ( current tv 50 inch sony plasma 7-8 years old)..

Wich HDMI cables are good. I heard Monster cables are over priced and alot of reviews state that there is no difference in quallity picture and sound between those expensive ones and cheap ones? I need them black between 6-10 Feet Long.
I Have a PS3 and a DVD with HDMI inputs. HDMI is new to me so i been doing my home work on reviews and such. But I wan't to know how many HDMI cables I need and of what speed?

Thanks in advance!
no refund2008-11-27
Be carefull after I got this tv amazon lowered the price $200 and would not refund my money. They do not have the 30 day price drop refund anymore.
Great set for the most part2008-11-25
Great LCD picture. Would rank it the same as the offerings from Sony. However my set had some clouding issues along with a warped panel! The set was bowed left to right and top to bottom. If your looking at it head on, no problem. If you view it from the side as in my home, you can notice it. Im in the process of having it replaced. lastly the sound is barely acceptable. You need to turn the surround sound on and crank the bass all the way up to barely get by. The Panasonic plasmas sound much better out of the box. if your doing a surround system its not a problem. The picture is as good as it gets for high def. The extreams between black and white is amazing! Motion is as good if not better than all the current high def panels. It is VERY thin but you need to understand that even though its only 1.9 inches wide, the imputs are NOT recessed so you need to get the set about 2 more inches away from the wall either on a bracket or stand. i also have a 1080p plasma and to be honest, Id rather watch the lcd. Theres just something about the back lighting that makes the image look 3D and super contrasty! Watching video taped material like games, boxing matches leave my guests with their mouths open, its that good. Hooked up to my PS3 or any blu ray player will give you true 1080P and some great images without the compression artifacts associated with cable tv (even if you have a hi def box). A great purchase even with the minor issues noted before. I guess they compromised the avail. space to install some good speakers for making the panel 2 inches thick which is a waste due to the need to get your plugs in the back which makes it more like 4 inches in depth. lastly, the Picture in Picture which is only found on the Samsung and Pioneer is fantastic! 2 games in hi def?!?!?!?! pure joy! Also has a USB port to display your pictures in a slideshow....Icing on the cake. I also play games on it and im very happy that there are NO burn in possibilities. All in all, a great buy even with the minor issues!
Better than Sony2008-11-18
Four months ago, we bought the Sony KDL52WL140 from Sams club. Three weeks ago we replaced it with the Samsung LN52A850. What a difference! (but, give Sams club a "thumbs up" because they took the Sony back for a full refund - no problems at all)

The Samsung has more dynamic color than the Sony and the color stays true from wider viewing angles. I know some people complain about the internal speakers on the Samsung but I cannot speak to that issue as we never use the TV speakers anyway. The Samsung is much cooler (as in creates less heat) than the Sony. The Sony was way too hot (even when the brightness and backlighting were set to low levels.)

The Samsung is thinner than the Sony and also has a USB port for playing videos and such from thumb drives, etc.

We could not be happier with the Samsung. Also, the deliver process was fast, smooth, and FREE! Gotta give this puppy 5 stars!

Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact. For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch. Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
