It is really evident in faces and sky pictures. I SURE AM GRATEFUL I PURCHASED THE 3 YEAR SERVICE CONTRACT.I have had this TV since December of 2006 and now have a second service call scheduled. The screen has developed black lines horizontally across the screen and has a watery quality to it. It is not displaying in HD.This is the same problem I had in November of 2006.There is no reason for something so expensive to be of such poor quality. If this repair doesn't take hold, I will be looking for restitution.
What started as a one inch shadow has become 4 inches in 3 months. "assisted" me by telling me I should have purchased an extended warranty and that if the TV was defective it would have been recalled by Samsung. Do NOT buy a Samsung product especially their DLP TV's. I finally was able to get someone on the phone who referred me to their exceptional customer relations departments. I can sleep better now. A cursory google seach shows other customers with same exact problem. The rep.
She did "help" me by putting my complaint on a level 2 status. I bought the 42 inch DLP model HL_R4266W and about 6 months after the 1 yr warranty expired, my TV started displaying a left shadow on the screen. When I asked how many defective TV's were required to demand a recall, she did not know the answer. I wrote 3 letters to Samsung's "customer service dept" and received zero replys. What a joke. Wow. This will be the last Samsung product I or anyone I know will buy as they do NOT stand behind their product.
This tv is unbelieveable, The picture is great, the hd- dlp make the picture so real. You wont go wrong buying this tv.
Watch the LCD DLP because they can't touch the motion smoothness of a true DLP. I believe this was the buy of the decade for me. Picture quality is great. If you don't need to hang your TV on a wall get a DLP. Better picture and the cost is less.
It is so worth it. I purchased this television after researching all my HD options. When I purchased it in June of 2006, the price was still $1499 at most places. Buy an upconverting DVD player. I haven't had any problems with the tv (although, I must say that mine is not hooked up to any tv signal and I only use it an average of 2 hours a day for movies and games). A couple of points:1.
The picture might take a little adjusting, but once you get it right, I think it offers more cinematic visuals than anything I've seen.4. It is the perfect balance or price, size,picture, and life span (of course, anticipating a lamp change). And use an HDMI cable with it.3. Great picture IF you use HD cables. I've gotten great performance out of three video game systems (PS2, Wii, 360) and an upconverting dvd player.2. The sound quality is surprisingly good.5.
My understanding is that a lamp change is likely, but that overall, DLP has a longer life than any other HD format.
