No better 46″ LCD – period!, April 28, 2007

I searched for a flat-screen tv for a couple of months, and finally chose the 4665. I chose the size of the TV based on my room, and decided 50 was too big and 42 too small. This left me without a decision on plasma vs lcd, which was ok with me. Plasma has more basic issues, and going LCD was not a sacrifice – except I had yet to see a LCD with black blacks, so I was not sure what I would see in the 46″ range.

As for price range, I decided that I was going to buy the tv that I was happiest with. It was not that I have unlimited budget, just that I wanted to make sure that I would going to be completely satisfied with a 2-3k purchase. I really only knew about the plasma tv’s in 42″ 720p, so I had a lot of research to do to understand what to buy.

After reading hundreds of reviews and going to several stores to comparison shop, I was basically down to three Samsung models. I was considering the LN-T4665F, LN-T4661F and the LNS4696. Going straight by the…

I’m the guy everyone in my family comes to for product advice, so hopefully my story will help people if they’re on the fence. Most of the decision points are the same as other reviews, but here’s how I came to my conclusion, and the unbelievable bonus that makes the purchase even better than I could have hoped.

Do I pay extra for 1080p? In the end I voted yes for this. Why? Because at my core I’m a tech guy. I may cheap out when buying certain clothes or pack my own lunch, but when it comes to technology, I want to be ahead of the curve. I buy extra ram for my computer so it will take longer to become obsolete, and the same goes for getting the newer technology for my TV.

LCD vs. Plasma: I’m a huge sports guy so this one was tough for me. But in the end, I decided that the blurring on fast sports was probably imperceptible (I was right), I read some real stories about burn in, and I wanted the option to hook up my laptop if I wanted.

I don’t normally write reviews without owning a product, however.. I have ordered (the 4661) based off the following:

If you’ve never been to avsforum .com, it is a purely message board/forum style website where every manner of A/V is discussed. There are entire forums dedicated to discussing the various technical aspects of LCDs to Plasmas to projectors. Long story short, there is a month old, mile long thread that has nothing but glowing things to say about Samsung’s LNTXX61 and LNTXX65/66 series of TVs — how it’s refreshing to have a TV that doesn’t have clouding/banding issues. AVSForum is pretty much the site for technophiles, and the positivity is consistent, so it’s not just one or two jokers from Samsung trying to make their product look good.

THAT is the reason I placed the order for this. It has been a long time since a product line has received that much positive review on that site.

Most have said the detail improvement by…
