Stunning LCD television's May 25, 2008

This TV does *indeed* exist ...I know because I'm looking at it right now. And what a TV it is!
I've compared many, many Sony's and Toshiba's and this Samsung came out above them all. Why? Because it edges it's rivals in all areas, except maybe the sound (which is a bit tinny), but this won't matter once you hook it up to a surround system or tweaked the onboard EQ.
Using the Samsung BD-P1400 with Casino Royale I spent a few hours getting the contrast/brightness/colour to as near perfection as a lay man can (leave the backlight on default level 7, it's one of the few settings to leave well alone). The picture quality is awesome and I found myself talking through the film more than actually watching it, it really does look that good. You will not be disappointed with this TV in any way. Spend a few hours tweaking and then sit back and enjoy.
Extras that are not well advertised ...it has a USB socket for mp3's and jpg's ...it has picture in picture, very handy ...when using the BD-P1400 you only need to use one of the remotes.
Amazon's fab delivery also takes some beating. After getting a 3 week runaround from Dixons I checked out Amazon's price and ordered at 1PM on Friday - the TV was delivered at 8AM the next day (yes, a Saturday) for less than the Dixons price. Thanks to Amazon I watched the Monaco GP in style.
I can't recommend this TV enough, and at such a cracking price.

Samsung inform me that there is no such Model..
There is However a LE40A556P..(Series 5) That seems to tie in with all the specs (30.000:1 Contrast ratio) etc..
Ive seen it running HD in PC World & it looked Gorgeous,
(Not(quite)as good as the Samsung LE40A656a But then thats (Series 6) has 50,000:1 Contrast ratio, 100hz Technology for SD Content, an extra hdmi Socket And costs 300 - 350 More (At time of writing)
Both are Stunning...
AMAZING TV FOR THE PRICE June 4, 2008

I was fortunate enough to pick up this tv for an unbelievable 599 elsewhere and it is an absolute bargain.
Setup was very easy,however the out-of-the-box factory presets across all three modes are NOT good.Luckily,Samsung have provided more picture tweak options than you can poke a stick at,so you'll have little problem finding something to suit your particular preference.If you get stuck then a quick search on one of the AV forums should sort you out.
One word of warning...this tv has easily the worst sound I've heard on any tv EVER (which is the reason for 4 stars only).
The picture quality on both analogue and Freeview digital is surprisingly very good and the blacks are nice and deep.Even in dark scenes there is a lot less crushing of shadow detail than several other top end lcds I've seen.
It doesn't have the 100 hz facility of it's more expensive sibling,the A656,but this is hardly a problem as the overall images really are quite stunning (once correctly calibrated).This is especially so when hooked up to an upscaling dvd player via the HDMI connection.It has brought a whole new lease of life to my standard def. dvd collection!
The tv comes with a shiny black frame and matt black panel which really helps keep nasty screen reflections to a bare minimum,although it is a bit of a dust magnet.
Highly recommended.

Purchased this tv a few days ago for 600 delivered after much research.
I am currently using the built in freeview (just moved house and only have an aerial in the loft at present).
I have to agree that the picture out of the box isn't great, but I had no problems finding picture settings on a few forums - 5 minutes to put them in and the picture is perfect, and thats on SD.
I'm waiting on a new HDMI cable and a freesat box coming through so that I can hook up my PS3 and check out the HD.
I haven't really noticed a major problem with the sound, but then I haven't really watched that much on it as yet, but I would imagine that most people would use a 5.1 theatre system anyway.
Overall, I think it is a great looking tv for the money.

This television offers me everything I was looking for .. and more!
Apart from the beautiful FULL HD display and the bright 30000:1 contrast ratio, it has some other features such as PIP and a powerful built in Freeview receiver.
The icing on the cake was the Wiselink USB port which allows me to directly connect my camera and usb stick to access music and mp3z.
Amazon's PRIME delivery was excellent - I got my tv within a day. I ordered on Friday at 2pm and it was delivered to me next morning at 7am!
