 Spectacular picture! October 11, 2007
27 out of 28 found this review helpful
After reading the reviews on the predecessor model 65, seeing the LNT5265F in the showroom, and reading initial reviews for the the model 71 (LNT5271F), I decided to go for the 71 as soon as it was available in September.
Purchase Experience: The price dropped pretty rapidly from MSRP to $3445 and I ordered it at that price. Two days later the Amazon price was down to $3299. An email to Amazon asking for price protection, and they credited my account for the difference within a day or two.
Shipping and Delivery: Not quite as good an experience here. The tracking email notification gave a date range to expect contact and delivery. Those dates came and went with no contact. I eventually had to contact Amazon and Eagle shipping in Phoenix to initiate the delivery process - ultimately about 4 days late. Once scheduled, the actual delivery was on time, and included unboxing the set, hooking it up and making sure things worked properly. This last part was somewhat awkward because the Samsung needs to go through a multi-step setup process before you get a chance to see a real picture. If there are any satellite receiver or cable box setup steps, the process is even longer. The delivery guy was patient, however, and waited until the setup was done, the picture was checked and he took the packaging material and left. He politely refused a tip, by the way.
The LNT5271F: As previous reviews have mentioned, the glossy screen can reflect bright lights and windows in some situations. Brightness, contrast and black levels produce a picture so nice, however, that your mind very quickly adapts and after a few days I don't notice any reflections at all. Overall the picture quality is terrific. There is very little drop-off in picture quality at even pretty extreme viewing angles - much better than the old projection TV it replaced. Sound quality is just OK, both in standard and TruSurround XT modes. A feed to a good sound system is advisable for an immersive viewing experience. I see very little difference between the settings for the Auto Motion Plus 120Hz feature. A slight jerkiness during very fast action can sometimes be detected, but only if you're looking for it. Some menu features seem to be available only with certain connection types or in concert with other settings, and these are not well documented in the manual.
Bottom line: My overall experience with the product and Amazon was very good.

I researched LCD's for 6 months, was about to buy the Samsung 5265 but the Amazon price spikes on that over the summer made me wait. Then the 71 series was discussed, saw one on display at Bestbuy and pulled the trigger over Labor Day - used the 12% off coupon ($3850 was the price for the 52 delivered), got 3 years no interest, plus 60 day price guarantee. Over the weekend, Amazon had this same unit for $3,375 + free SH. Went back to Bestbuy yesterday requested a price match to Amazon or advised I would return the set, they not obly matached Amazon, but also gave me 10% of the difference. Nice deal, love the set so far.
Great TV December 16, 2007

For openers let me say that I love this TV. The picture is great with vivid detail and rich true colors. Hi def picture is great and standard def picture is very good for this size set.
The following is included for those who may run into this problem with their set.
I received delivery from Eagle. They were on time. The TV was delivered from van rather than a larger truck and showed no signs of wear on the outer carton. The delivery man unpacked it and helped me set in on a low table (temporary until I could get help to attach it to my Omni mount). After plugging it in the delivery man attacked the auto set up like the mad clicker from hell. At some point during his clicking the red stand by light started blinking. When he left I signed for the TV as having no picture in case I couldn't fix the problem myself. After a few days of frustration I called Samsung. None of their techs were able to suggest a solution. They put in a repair ticket. At that point I unplugged the set and left it unplugged for a day.
Amazon customer service was great and offered to replace the set.
When I tried plugging it in again the problem was resolved and I canceled the replacement.
I saw 1 posting with the same problem. The bottom line is that the TV needs more than the suggested 15 minutes to reset.
If you want a great picture this is the set for you. Buy it and enjoy your viewing.
Great LCD! Good price from amazon! September 21, 2007

Well folks, I am not a technology whiz by any stretch of the imagination but I did a bit of research on this one as it was a big purchase. First off, I am very easy to please as I love my lower line VIZIO TV's in high def. Right out of the box this TV was amazing. It is very sleek and the soft touch function on the side of the bezel make things very easy when you misplace the remote (even the most detailed menu functions). I ran out and got an HD receiver from my cable company the next day and the picture is unbelievable. Standard TV is OK but HD is much better. Forget about the Blueray Discs! The images are so real with the special motion enhacement function. All in all a great buy. I went to my local well know electronics store and saw the tv for $1100 more than amazon and that is not even including state tax of 6.5%. Only downside is all TV is not yet available in HD so I cannot experience the TV's full potential with standard programming.

I first saw this TV in BestBuy and CircuitCity, and one of them had it set-up with a Blu-ray disc player. I was totally astounded! I decided to go home and do my research, and found that Amazon had a much better price, free shipping and delivery. It was an easy sell. I ordered it right away. From the time I ordered it and the the time it shipped, the price went down and I asked Amazon to adjust the price which they did. a few days later I received a call from the delivery company, on a sunday! They set up a time to deliver it the next day and showed up promptly. I was not disappointed with the TV at all and the shopping experience with Amazon was very good.
