Comment: I can't say enough good about this unit. Image is sharp and crystal clear from almost any angle. Even in a daylight room. Remote controller is a bit awkward, but that may be due to the set-up. Highly recommended.

Summary: GOOD UNIT, BUT EARLY PROBLEMS
Comment: I bought one of these units Jan 15 07, took delivery Jan 24. Had it delivered and set up by Best Buy with the 4 year warranty. The install was fine but it went, here is, have fun, good bye! Screwed out 200 bucks for delivery!
Not being familiar with HD /TV it took about a week to figure out that the unit was not working correctly. I called for service they come a week later. Tell me the HD tuner is out. We need to order a new one. A week and half later the wrong parts come in. The right parts come four days later.They are installed and the set looks great, now I know what I paid for. The very next morning the lamp is out? I call service, they say they will be back tomorrow Thursday first thing. The next day they don't show, so I call them back. Service tells me we had a tech call in sick we have nobody to come and fix the set until next Tuesday? "And you were going to tell this WHEN"? By now I blowing a gasket! I get on the Internet find the number for Best Buy Corp office, and give them a call tell the story. Corp has me file a report, tells me to go see the Best Buy store manager. He sets me up with a new TV, new model because the S6186W has been discontinued. Today Best Buy delivered the new TV model HL-S56187W. Stand by for an update on this model, it's looking good today? Best Buy did this with almost 60 days past the original delivery date.

Summary: Impressed, but ...
Comment: I purchased this TV becuase I was looking for the largest screen for the money. I received my Samsung DLP in early March. The delivery was just as Amazon and Eagle promised. I was impressed with the delivery.
But after returning home from work and plugging the unit in I noticed a noticable high pitched humm coming from the back of the unit. I may return this and get a higher priced model. I was concerned with the price of this unit. The fact that it was about $500 less than comparable sized screens. The humm is not real noticeable, but you can hear it when the room is quiet and the unit turned off, like in the morning when I am putting my shoes on for work.
The viewing angle is also kinda off. You need to be right in front and sitting down to get the optimal picture. Great for regular watching, and movies. But I like to watch TV from the kitchen when drinking beer at night, and the picture quality is a little off when off to the side, and a little higher.
Overall, I am impressed with the picture quality, aside from the viewing angle issue. The first DVD I watched with this set was 'Bullitt' last night. I could make out a little "rainbow effect" during more black and white scenes. But it wasn't too annoying.
For the price, it's not a bad unit. And this is my first large screen TV so I have nothing else to gage by. My only major complaints would be the high pitched humm, and viewing angle issues.
I got this TV for 'March Madness', and 'March Madness' thus far, looks pretty good on this unit.
Like most of these reviews. Most are posted shortly after people receive the units when they are most happy. I will try and post here after having the unit for several months.
