 Big and bright November 16, 2008
I love my new TV. It has a bright, sharp picture, and clean lines. It arrived in perfect condition, and it was easy to move and simple to set up.
Before my previous set died, I had already shopped Samsung and Mitsubishi DLP sets. I had seen specials on an earlier 72" Samsung model with more connection options and similar brightness, but it lacked the LED light system. I'm glad I bought the newer 67".
I wish it had optical audio inputs, but I understand that a dedicated AV receiver would be a better choice for sound. Sound clarity is important even with a twenty watt amplifier, but it meets my needs for a bedroom TV.
Great value and quality November 14, 2008
Having an older Samsung DLP (46") I was happy with the quality of DLP TVs. My primary concern about ordering another DLP was the questionable repair history on all models from Consumer Reports (problems averaging about 12% for all brands of DLP). Since I didn't have any problems with my previous DLP I went and looked at a set at a local store and was less than impressed with its picture quality (it turns out the settings were bad so it looked horrible). However, I gave it another look after the uniformly stellar reviews on it's picture quality.
The ordering and delivery process from Amazon: I am very impressed. The delivery was set for 9 days from the order date, but I was watching TV on it within a week. It helps to call the delivery carrier (CEVA in my case) when you see that it's at the local wherehouse instead of waiting for them to contact you (which was in the form of a postcard). The delivery was free from Amazon and the deliveryman was friendly, brought the tv into the house and helped set it up. This is well beyond what I expected (of course he earned a nice tip for his efforts). Between that and no sales tax - I will definitely buy more electronic items from Amazon.
TV quality - I am using Comcast HD and the picture quality is outstanding. The only concern I have is the normal DLP issues and the slight degradation (lowering in brightness, quality) when looking at an angle. However when sitting in front of this the picture is clear and brings out the HD content. I watched some football games on the NFL network and it's awesome.
The TV sits in a bright room and the screen diffuses light very nicely. Our old TV (55" Mitsubishi) had a reflective surface which was annoying -This is one of the best features of DLP's when compared to Plasmas and LCDs and one that is often overlooked.
As the kids play videogames I didn't want the problem of burn-in, so that was also a knock against getting a Plasma. LCD's currently aren't in this size (and the largest size they have is way more expensive). Three days with the TV and I am impressed - it is easy to set up and use and the picture quality and size have a significant Wow factor.
Drawback: the biggest problem I have with the TV is that when using picture-in-picture that you are required to use two TV inputs, i.e., you can't have one input be a TV signal and the other be from another source (like DVD or a video game). My old TV had this feature and it was nice to be able to sit with the kids while they watch a movie or play a video game on part of the screen while I could watch them but also keep up with a football game on the other part of the screen.
Overall a high quality product and a tremendous value at the Amazon price.

This is a great deal. All of the real estate for less than $2K is really quite amazing. I didn't get any white glove service that they talk about. They just dropped it at my front door but that wasn't any big deal. I have a 42" plasma in my bedroom and this TV's picture is simply not as sharp. It may be that I have not set it up right, I'm not sure about that. Analog channels are a little fuzzy. HD is pretty good although I get (can't think of the word - why they tell people not to wear stripes on TV) inaccurate images. By that I mean, for instance the grass seems to get all blurry when the guy is running down the field and the ref's stripes are just a mess - no sharp black and white at all. If anyone has any specific instructions as to where to fine tune this thing, I would really be appreciative. My review may sound a little harsh but I am really quite pleased with it just not as "joyous" as some of the other reviewers. It is certainly not as good as my plasma but none the less a very good set for a good price.
LED-DLP is A-OK November 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I just received this set from Amazon and it surpasses my other Samsung DLP sets to date.This is my third Samsung DLP. My first was a 50" then a 62" and now the LED 67". I paid less for this 67" than my other two sets,go figure! Anyway I was watching prices and when Amazon dropped the price to $1800 I pulled the trigger. It was delivered quickly with no issues. Colors are deep and defined. Running 1080I HD cable the picture is stunning and makes standard or digital input signals look really bad. Running 1080P with an up conversion DVD player the standard DVD's look a lot better. Not true HD but sharper. Time will tell with the LED light source but I have never replaced a bulb on any of my other sets. Construction of the set is very good. Nice case design and light weight.If I had to pick one detail that is weak it would be the internal speaker/s. The sound is just OK at best. Adjusting the audio to custom and tweaking the EQ it's a tad better but the standard sound is the only weak point on this set. The sound on my other two Samsungs is 100% better than this model. That being said it's still one of the best bang for the bucks sets available.
Best TV for the money on the market.. November 3, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I purchased this TV about 3 months ago. The TV is for a home theater style room so I was debating between a front projection set-up and rear projection. Deciding I did not want to mess with the front projector/screen difficulties, I knew i wanted DLP ( plasma & lcd sets didn't even come into the running due to price at this size )
It was down to this and the 73" Mitsubishi. It was really hard to tell the difference in picture between the two at the store. After looking at all the reviews for both sets, and because of the LED light source, I decided to go with the samsung at 6" smaller, even though I wanted my TV as big as possible.
Now for my experience with the set..
The picture quality on this thing is nothing short of amazing. The colors and images in HD almost jump off the screen. I have a 32" 720p Olevia LCD, a 32" 720p Samsung LCD, and a 50" 720p Vizio Plasma. With a 1080i or 720p source, even though its hard to compare the different screen sizes, I must say the picture quality surpases both of my LCD sets and rivals the plasma (I always loved the picture quality on plasmas). You will not see its true capabilities until you get it set up in your house! When looking at this set at the retailer, I thought the picture quality was far inferior to the LCD & Plasma sets they had on display which is definitely not the case. The way most of the lighting is set up in the stores, does not due DLP ( or any projection for that matter) justice. This was one of the main reasons I was hesitant on buying the set.
The sound is quality is good enough. I only use it for regular TV viewing. Everything else (BluRay/DVDs, Video Games, ect..) I have through my 7.1 Onkyo Surround. (I never could figure out why people negative reviews on tv speakers - expecting the sound coming out of them to be as good as your surround speakers...)
Now for the negatives..
The PIP set up is awful.. I only looked at it briefly as I don't really have much of a use for it, but It appeared you could only select your cable tuners as a source. I wanted to watch a football game through 1 HDMI slot & play a PS3 game through another HDMI slot, and it wouldn't let me do it. ( someone correct me if I'm wrong on this)
The screen is not very secure. I'm not sure this will ever lead to any issues, but thought it should be more secure.
Seeing as how this came out in '08, I would have liked to see more HDMI inputs. This is obviously the connection of the present/forseeable future, so why not include a couple more (DVD, PS3, XBOX, Cable Box, PC, ect..)? (I know you can go through a receiver down to 1 HDMI, but I prefer not to).. I also wish there was a connection on the front of the TV for devices I will be connecting/disconnecting regularly like a camera.
I also have an issue when changing channels through my time warner cable box (connected via HDMI). Whenever I change channels, it takes 2-3 seconds for the picture to become available again - about the time it would take to switch sources. I have another cable box attached to my vizio plasma where changing channels is instantanious. It is almost like the TV getting a new signal every time I chanage the channel. ( If anyone has any ideas on what this is due to, please comment )
Wish it came in a larger size! I know 67" is pretty big, but I was hoping for 80"+! (maybe I'm crazy)
Overall, I could not be happier with this TV (well maybe if my negatives were covered). The picture on it is phenomenal for its size. It has left me more satisfied than any other electronics item I have ever purchased (and there have been alot)! Highly recommended.
