Does this give a good picture using standard definition. We don't have HD service.

I believe it does. We have both standard & HD and we end up watching standard most of the time except for sports.

@ NC movie man.Sorry, but not good. Your video quality probably looks good when watching cartoons or using a SDTV (non HD). The pixellation you describe - I have not seen. On my TV, a 47" LCD Flat Panel, lack of clarity is the problem. Picture quality is about as good as the worst SDTV Satellite channels that I occasionally watch.If you installed computer software when setting up your modem, it might indicate your download speed.

It's awful without HD cable. I had this tv for a month before getting HD cable and it was not enjoyable. Don't get a 1080 tv if you plan to watch non HD programs.

I believe it does. The picture looks great. My only problem with it is the lack of streaming options. I really like it other than that.

Image quality is very good, but is directly related to the quality of the source content and source hardware. HD from my laptop is best. Streaming from my iPad sometimes is not full screen, depending on the app I stream from. Overall, very pleased.

There is not. The system only has video. Picture quality is ok but not phenomenal. HD has ruined us for good! We have not had issues with it at all though and it has been running for 3 months.

It's an HD TV, but not the best resolution. My guess is the the salesperson was probably refering to the display resolution of this model - 1024 x 768. They are probably trying to sell you a more expensive set with better specs.

It is not designed as an HDTV player, but if you are playing .avi files you should be able to view them as good as your set can be!

I haven't heard or seen any of that. This is not an HD camera at all. The newest version on banggood includes a 720p camera. You can't tell by looking at the unit. You have to look at the box. It will have a sticker on it stating 720p

In regards to this TV, you just have to "zoom" the picture and it will display the widescreen correctly. This goes for SD signal letterboxed shows as well. It (of course) handles the HD signals appropriately with no user intervention.

Don't know, I don't use it that way. I love it though and it has a great picture

It is HD and the picture is very clear. Works well for our weekly skype staff meetings (offices In other states) in our conference room (wide angle lens).

It looks as good as a non-HDTV.From the few times I've looked at SD tv though, it doesn't utilize widescreen (It's still 4:3 rather than 16:9). So that's something you might want to think about.

I think we're experiencing image burn-in on our 2 1/2-year-old 1080p LCD TV. When an HD show is on, there are now visible vertical lines marking where the sidebars of standard definition programs would be, almost as if a standard size screen were placed over the widescreen. There's also some shadowing in the top half of the standard screen area. This is most noticeable when the picture background is light colored. We had no idea this would happen. We were considering buying the Samsung model you've got, but we spend more than 5% of our TV time watching standard definition programs, and many of our DVD/Bluray movies have black bars on top and bottom. Maybe we'll just get by with our current set until the image burn-in problem is eliminated.

The quality of the picture is not that great, especially since you get a free TV with 4 cans of Corn and a loaf of Bread. I recommend you buy a TV with HDMI or High Def. Good luck.
