In talking with people who own Samsung DLP televisions, it is hard to criticize someone for buying one of these models. The J.D. Power and Associates award is something to consider because it says more people who bought high-end consumer electronics viewing devices believed Samsung provided the best picture for their money. And, that is a valid point because we are talking about televisions, right, where the picture is all the really matters.
What I saw while watching these televisions at Tweeter was an award-winning picture, but I’m still scratching my head over the lack of a built-in HD tuner and cable card slot. Also, I wasn’t overly impressed with the side inputs. I would’ve liked to see the composite and S-Video connections on the front because the side connections might be difficult to get to if placed inside an entertainment center. I also thought the video out should be on the side or front.
My final word is Samsung wins in picture quality, but needs help in layout and long-term digital options.
