Great Buy - Problem with InfoLink
My first LED TV and I am very pleased. Picture in HD is outstanding. Set up is simple and uncomplicated.Touch of red adds a little class. The only reason I will not rate it five stars is I am having problem accessing the info link (purchased the linkstick)feature. Have had to phone tech support numerous times with different solutions based on what technician you get. Now appears to be a problem with my router blocking this feature and neither Samsung or my ISP provider seem to be able to solve this. I did download the software upgrade.Aside from this disappointment we love the TV. Fortunately Amazon offered the Samsung soundbar FREE which enhanced the quality of the sound considerably as the TV sound is just average. For the price I paid from Amazon it was a good buy.

Amazing picture, great television
This television is amazing. I don't care that the sound isn't that great because I have a surround sound system...most people should when investing in a nice television. The picture is difficult to beat. The complaints of the poor picture from side views are completely false. THere are always going to be a few bad apples in a review of a product because people will always find something to complain about, either that or they got a damaged TV. Picture looks as good from the far angles as it does in the center. There are many nice features such as the mp3 input and ethernet capabilities. This TV is a nice purchase!

Love it
I just go my new Samsung UN40B6000 & absolutely love it. Easy to set up & has a beautiful picture. I love the energy saving aspect as I am an environment friendly gal. The sound is great too. My hearing isn't what is used to be & have been pricing out Bose 3-2-1 system because I don't want to run a bunch of wires around, but was amazed at the sound from the tv at a low volume. The Samsung warranty for additional 104.99 is a bargain too. I didn't buy mine throught Amazon (wish I did), but found it somewhere else for 0 cheaper. Didn't have free shipping though so actually saved 0. The other website (will not name) tried to push me on a 3 yr plan for 9. If you are someone who likes to insure your high end products (like me but I didn't pay 9) buy through Amazon & get the warranty.

Great set, great price!
This is my first HD TV, so my impressions might be skewed, but I just love this TV. I did a lot of research on different TVs, and have always loved Samsung. I was looking at LCD sets until I saw this in person at Best Buy, and when the price here at Amazon dropped to just a couple hundred above my preset limit of B001UHMV90,000 (at the time of purchase!) I decided it was worth the extra cash. Easy to set up, and picture quality is outstanding.

Great Picture
Dilivery was on time and the driver helped take the TV upstairs. Comcast came and hooked up a HD DVR and the picture was great. He used a very large component cable. He said it would be as good as HDMI.
We noticed a buzz from behind the set that was intense at times depending on how dark the picture was. I ordered an HDMI cable from Amazon and hooked the set up with that. The buzz went away and I believe the picture looked a bit better. The sound seemed to improve also.
The set produces a great picture. We are very happy with our purchase.

Samsung LN-S4695D 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Manufacturer: Samsung
The quintessential 46" flat-panel LCD screen is capable of producing 1080p (progressive) image resolution that takes HDTV to an even higher range of detail. With up to a 6000:1 contrast ratio blacks are blacker and white are whiter for images that exceed anything previously displayed by other LCD TV screens. There are over two million pixels resulting from the 1920x1080p resolution of this screen that is fully capable of displaying HD images in the true 1080p ideal. That's about twice as many pixels as a typical HDTV LCD screen (at 1366x768). Most other screens can only display 720p or 1080i in HDTV modes. When considering new external high-definition video sources, this LCD takes you to a higher realm than typical HDTV. It is capable of displaying over 12.8 billion color combinations. The new, optimized game mode and fast 8ms response time will thrill avid gamers with its movie-like visuals. The audio system is equally impressive, with hidden bottom speakers that offer SRS TruSurround XT sound. A 178-degree viewing angle and convenient swivel stand let you enjoy shows from anywhere in the master bedroom, living room or den. We should make a brief pause to discuss the achievement of 6,000:1 contrast-ratio from an LCD screen. Contrast ratio deals with the integrity and optimal range of black and white shading on your screen. While most large LCD screens previously achieved about 1200:1 or 2,000:1 readings, plasma screens delivered up to 10,000:1. Offering 6,000:1 means delivery of the best picture available on a home LCD flat-panel. It also makes a great PC monitor. This is high-definition as it was meant to be! Fast 8ms response time + New optimized game mode Includes Swivel stand but may also be optionally wall-mounted with a VESA compliant bracket ?Hidden? bottom speakers SRS TruSurround XT 10 Watts by 2 channels power output Connectivity - 2 HDMI / 2 Component video inputs (Y,Pb,Pr) / S-video an

Model: LNS4695D

BEWARE, THIS IS NOT A 1080p TV
The Samsung LS-4695D is advertised as a 1080p TV but it does not support a 1080p signal. The Samsung website even states that this TV does support 1080p [...] "The Component input jacks of the 2006 LN-S4095D and the LN-S4695D accept 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p signals."
The user manual states this TV only supports 720p and 1080i. I have tried multiple 1080p signals on this TV and it DOES NOT support 1080p. I am extremely disappointed by Samsung and false advertising should not be permitted. Amazon should not be listing this as a 1080p TV either.

Nice TV for a while...
I bought this television in early 2006 when I moved into my new home. I needed to get rid of my tube HDTV due to space constraints, and I needed a panel to mount above the fire place.
I spent a very large amount of time doing homework on the specifications, and narrowed my search based on price and my requirements (1080p, LCD, etc), and arrived at either the Sony XBR or the Samsung LNS4695d. After hitting the pavement, and seeting the set in the proper viewing places (avoide Best Buy and other big box stores, as they split the signal too many times, and have varying signals between different sets depending on where they sit on the daisy chain) and decided the Samsung offered virtually the same picture quality and specifications as the Sony, and for less money.
The set treated me great for 3 years, with only one exception. During very fast motion, such as a football game (American) where the ball was thrown past the crowd, or a car race, I would experience macro-blocking, and the set's 60hz simply could not keep up with very fast moving HD broadcasts (via cable). There were other issues related to this, but suffice it to say, the TV processed too slow to keep up, and artifacts and other symptoms showed that. I also had minor ghosting in some circumstances, but I find that is visible to the experienced eye even on the Sony sets and other CFL backlit models.
After 3.5 years, just out of warranty, the set recently started showing horizontal white and colored lines. flashing and intermittant at first, over 8 weeks, they slowly became more static, and eventually made the TV unwatchable. The condition appeared across all sources, and after much troubleshooting and time on the phone with Samsung, the TV was determined by them as "at the end of its useful life." For the price I paid, I found this conclusion utterly unaccetpable. After further research, I've determined the board that processes the horizontal information had failed. The part is 0 from Samsung and a handful of other providors, which equates to what I could purchase the same television for now on ebay. There are essentially zero Samsung service centers, and no in-home service options. I would have been forced to ship the television out of state for analysis and service, with no guarantee it could be repaird. I decided not to bother attempting to repair it, as purchasing another working set would have been the same or cheaper than other options.
I've since upgraded to another brand, with more current features, and have been very pleased.
While the failed hardware isn't a widespread issue (though it does exist if you look closely online), i simply couldn't reccomend this product to anyone any longer, primarily because of Samsung's determination that a $x,xxx television set should only last 3 years. The other issues were annoying, but I was able to live with them, however the set I use now is flawless, and cheaper, and more advanced. My advice, continue to avoid paying for the Sony brand, and Samsung is not the solution. With some homework, you can do much much better for the money.

Great TV
This was my 2nd LCD tv purchase. My first TV was a 32" Samsung purchased in 2006. I decided to upgrade in 2007 from 32" to 46" because 32" was too small for the living room. After 2 years of use, I can say this TV has been great and provided us with many hours of entertainment.
If you are shopping for TVs now (2009) and run across this TV at a really good deal, pick one up. Some advantages to current models is that the standard HDMI inputs are 3-4 whereas this model has only 2. I only use 1 input since I channel everything through a reciever anyways. The newer models are also 10-20 lbs lighter (and even more if you are buying an LED). Lastly, the new models may provide a little better contrast ratio. If buying a used TV, you need to find out how many hours of use the TV has been through and check the condition.
In today's market, the top competitors in the LCD market seem to be Samsung and Sony. Other companies like Pioneer, Toshiba, Visio, and Panasonic also have a considerable market share, but Samsung and Sony lead the way in sales due to excellent picture and competitive pricing. Comparing Sony and Samsung, Samsung seems to provide more vivid colors while Sony's colors are more natural and less vivid. As far as which TV is better, it's a matter of preference. I picked a Samsung because it was at a lower price-point than the Sony I wanted (Z-Line).
My next upgrade (52" 120hz) will probably be the same (based on prices/deals at the time). I would not hesitate to buy another Samsung.

Stopped working withing 2.5 years
Got brand new TV about 2.5 years back. Now it has horizontal blurring lines across the entire TV. I called Samsung and they asked me to take it for repair to authorized repair center for after-warranty repairs. However TV-Unlimited, the supposedly authorized repair shop in San Jose has C- bbb rating and 1-star yelp rating.
I called a couple of other shops and am told that the main board has gone bad. It is better to throw this TV away and instead get a new TV.
I wish, I got Sony instead.

Best Bang For Your Buck
Got this TV awhile back and it is an outstanding TV for the price. The picture is crystal clear. Very good features for a TV in this price range. The sound really stands out with rich bass and enveloping surround effects. I have both an XBox 360 and a Playstation 3 running on full 1080p and they look incredible! Blu-Ray HD movies playing on the PS3 look amazing on this TV's 1080p resolution. With 2 HDMI ports I have the PS3 and a cable box, The 2 Component inputs connect the 360 and a DVD Recorder, S-Video input houses a Playstation 2, and there's still 2 coax antenna inputs left! This tv not only looks great but has the hardware to hold all of your electronics, making a perfect foundation for any home theater.
The only thing I don't care for is the high gloss black finish surrounding the screen. It reflects a lot of light but that's just a minor gripe.
Shipping was an issue. We paid for expedited shipping and it took a week to get here. I had to call the seller and they refunded the price of expedited and only charged me standard shipping. Very nice to work with. They corrected the issue without hesitation.
If you're looking for a TV that gives the most bang for your buck, this is it!

Expensive, great construction, is it worth it? It depends...
Yes, these are expensive cables. The main selling point, in my opinion, of Monster brand cables is the excellent construction quality. I have Monster Cables that are several years old, and they are just as supple and oxidation-free as when I first bought them. There are some reviews saying there is no noticeable difference, but it depends what type of system you plan to use them with. For latest-generation TVs with LCD refresh rate 240Hz, 1080p resolution, LED TVs, OLED TVs, and Blue-Ray, these cables are probably over the top of what you need. However, what I like to do is buy a top-of-the-line cable that has very high transmission bandwidth capability so I don't have to buy a new cable in the future (e.g., 3D TVs). When the next HDMI format comes out, these cables will be up to the task. One thing is for sure, though. I will never buy Monster Cables in a retail store; I find them much cheaper on-line.

Monster did not arrive
The cable MONSTER MC 100HD did not arrive in the hotel on time, and did not followed the time proposed by the Amazon. The other requests except one (canceled by the Amazon) arrived on time.
We cancel the payment in the credit card
I would like to request the amazon cancel the bill in the credit card.

Monster Cables...always the best!
I bought this for a friend. He had been told by friends of his that an HDMI cable was a waste of money. I told him 'they' wasted their money by not getting a decent cable. I told him that Monster Cable was the best out there. He said he couldn't afford the prices all the box stores were charging. I told him I'd find him one. Now, every time I see him he has gone on about how much better everything is, picture quality, sound, deepness of the blacks...He is a happy man!
I thank Steve Miller of Miller Electronics for offering a great deal on the cable. AND, I want to thank Amazon for allowing me to one stop shop for so many things at great prices.

Bandwith, Bandwidth, Bandwidth
Its all about bandwidth people. Yes, the signal is digital, sending binary code. However, the AMOUNT of code that the wire is capable of sending is the issue. For HDTV or an Xbox 360, any cheap old wire can handle the signal. However, for Blu-Ray players and the Playstation 3, there is substantially more (3x cable, 2x Xbox) bandwidth, and cheaper cables can't handle it. Some reviews have mentioned sound loss. Well thats because the cheap wire being used cant handle the HD audio transmitted. The same goes for the precise video signals. Data will be lost if the wire cant handle the bandwidth output from the transmitting device. Its really not rocket science.

Overpriced and packaging nightmare
All these line of cables are way overpriced and represent a real packaging nightmare. This company could be redefined as "The Monster of environmentally unfriendly packaging". I just bought six of their video cables. After unpackaging them (which was not a simple feat, due to their horribly hard and sharp-edged clam shells), I ended up with an amazing pile of hard plastic garbage.
