Thanks, Tolik - you helped me decide- upgradability and the game modes are big things. The Samsung seemed to have more power but I've learned you can't really rely on what they say the wattage is. I haven't owned enough Samsung equipment in the past to know what to expect - the TV is great but a sound system is another story.Mark - thanks for the CD info - for some reason I thought I'd get even better sound with a dedicated player ... if you can give me the model # on the Kenwood I might be interested (with over 400 CDS, a changer is sweet.).Don

I have the same question! I just ordered a Blu-Ray player.But my guess is it will be better than standard DVD quality. Like an HDTV broadcast! But I think stadard DVD's look fine anyway!

I already purchased this LCDTV. I got it down to as $1500 or maybe less using Amazon gift cards purchased at Ebay with Live.com cashback.

Thanks for the response. I did expect that to be the case to some degree. I did some re-adjusting recently and am pretty happy with what I have now.With the dvd issue I used component video instead of the rca and it's a huge improvement. It turns out to be pretty solid tv after all.

Hi, The TV is excellent. Very good quality for a non "name brand". I will gladly purchase another one when this one dies.

This has been quite a while, but I've gotten mine today, and yes, it is true 16/9. Looks pretty good on a tv too.

I found it very useful. I have my tv, dvd, amp and directv on it. If it doesn't have a code for your tv you can look on the internet, and then you can learn most of the codes if no codes work.

Hi,This is a pretty good machine with no obvious shortcoming that I could find (I have this one for a few weeks). The best thing is this is one of the best buy for this price range. I will be cautious about the DVD drive thought - it seems somwhat flimsy./Abhijit

I agree with all that responded. My stand has been great (50' TV) do know they can cause problems though. Be sure to use the proper screws, do not over tighten, you should be fine. AND I agree Sceptre customer service is fantastic! A+++ from personal experience.

Depending on the TV you buy, you may now end up saving more than you would have saved by that Combo. For example, if you bought the tc-p50GT25, you are going to save $180 more than you would have 2 weeks back. the price for the starter kit hasn't changed from the time it was a part of the combo. I would suggest you wait one more week and you'll probably see better offers. Do continue to monitor the inventory though and pull the trigger if the inventory is falling.

Check Monoprice and Blue Jean cables for your needs. Don't buy the expensive cables - but do buy good ones from one of the two I mentioned. They are both good suppliers - I have bought from both.Which cables you will need will depend on the devices. For example; is the the DVD equipped with HDMI or component or S-Video? RCA plugs for sound or optical.Better let your son know about each one ASAP so he can get the proper cables in time for him coming home for the installation (that's what I did for my mom recently).Good luckYou will really enjoy your new Samsung - it is a fine piece of equipment.Geo Check Monoprice and Blue Jean cables for your needs.

I don't know. I haven't been able to get the dvd part of the tv to work. My son - the electronics "expert" - has not been able to get it to work. He says I should contact the manufacturer. I bought the tv online, it's not worth my time and effort to dig" just to get the dvd player to work, so I just don't use the dvd part. The tv is fine. I can probably contact Amazon, but I have not -- too much trouble for such a small amount of money. The moral of the story is, "You get what you pay for" ???? ...or maybe I should contact Amazon. I don't think a stand-alone dvd/blue player costs that much. The price (even for just a tv) was good, I thought.

Guy's,I need a little advice. I know nothing about LCD TV's. I'm moving into a house and ran into a guy that wants to sell a Samsung 40" 4061. The TV has been siting in his bedroom and is hardly used as he watches a bigger set in the living room. The set looks and works great and he's asking $500 for it. I think the set is several years old. Does anyone out there have any advice on buying this?Anything to look for? Is this a good price on a set with prices coming down this Christmas?Thanks for any input,Rudy

Guys I placed order last night for this TV+DVD+Glasses combo deal $1290. I got 3y warranty and I pay NY sales tax so total is close to $1600. Wish I had a %20 coupon... Still overall a good deal and I can always return it with Amazon excellent service. Will post review in few days. If you have coupons pls send I will try to apply it.

Yes. I'd reccomend it. Had it for a few months now and it has been reliable - with DVDs of all regions. I was a bit concerned at it was so inexpensive but it has worked out well.
