I am interested in purchasing this set and was wondering if it is as good as some of the reviews I've read.

Will be interesting to hear your thoughts.

it owns
possibly the best LCD set out there
price is a bit high, but then again, you get what you pay for.

Go for it. you won't regret it.

Awesome picture quality, brightness, design, and many input options.

..looks a lot like the Bravia 46". Sony and Samsung are in collusion in the LCD biz.

it's strange why the price is still high as they're trying to get rid of the model as it has been discontinued.

I have a different model samsung LCD and like it. The only real complaint I have is the black levels. I do see ghosting every once in a great while, but it is only during very specific circumstances.

I think my friend has one. It doesn't do 1:1 through HDMI. That means it takes a section of the 1920x1080 HDTV or computer image and stretches and interpolates it to the display's 1920x1080 pixels... for no reason. Might as well buy a 1366x768 TV.

Sony TVs do 1:1.

I'm pretty sure mercanucaribe is talking about the overscan that the samsung does over HDMI, but I'm not 100% sure.

I have it's little brother, the s4095D (40" size) but same specs. It's truly an awesome TV, best bang for the buck.
