 Fantastic Looking Television, Awesome Price to Performance May 02, 2007
By R. Monge
"down4afall"
This TV was made for me. As far as HDTVs go, this was extremely inexpensive, it's lightweight, and really thin. The picture looks incredible, but the view angle is not terribly good (it gets pretty dark if you're outside of probably 120 degrees or so. The HDMI inputs are great, and the TV's comb filter does such an incredible job with 1080i on my Xbox360, you can't even tell that the picture has been interlaced (though there is a lot of shaking when I hooked up my PC and ran it in 1080i). The VGA input does a great job, and doesn't over scan the way the DVI/HDMI port does. The speakers a great and LOUD, but make sure to get yourself a nice surround sound set, it's worth the money. Overall, you can buy a better TV, but I'll be confounded if you can find a better price/performance deal that this one.

 Did you see the price!!! Jul 10, 2007
By speedpellet
I have owned the Samsung HLT4675S for nearly a month and have been very pleased. What a bargain for only $860!! The high definition picture is incredible in both over the air HD broadcasts and through HD cable. I also purchased the Samsung HTTX75 home theater in a box system, and the upconverted signal is awesome on the television. I don't know how I've lived without HD up to this time. The 720p resolution has been totally satisfying. I don't think spending the extra money for a 1080p would be worth the money at the present time.
My only complaint about the television so far is the complexity of using the same remote for the Samsung television and the Samsung home theater system. I am contemplating buying a universal remote so I don't have to juggle three remotes (tv, home theater, cable) to watch what I want and control the volume. I have also noticed a slight high pitched whine from the television on occassion but my wife has been unable to hear the same sound. Both are minor inconveniences.
Finally, I would caution a potential buyer not to buy a television that is too big for their room. I owned an older 45" Mitsubishi and thought if I was going to buy a new television I might as well go bigger. I'm glad I did not. With the HD DLP's you need to make sure you can sit far enough away from the television so it does not appear overly pixelated. Had I gone with a larger set, there is no doubt I would not have experienced as clear a picture as I do with the 46" Samsung. In addition, due to the wide screen format of the new television, it seems huge compared to the Mitsubishi.
I give Amazon five stars for delivery and price. I ordered the television on a Thursday and it was delivered via UPS on Tuesday. Regarding price, I thought I got a killer deal when I bought the television for $960. A few weeks later, I noticed the price had dropped another $70 so I contacted Amazon. Within a day they had given me a credit for the full price drop pursuant to their post-purchase price guarantee. Excellent delivery time and customer service.

"It's the meers" Aug 01, 2007
By D. Enstad
After a LOT of online research, I decided on this line of DLP. Samsung seems to have the DLP market pretty much cornered with quality and features like "slim fit" and "ultra slim fit" tv's. Very lightweight (+/- 44 lbs.), I mounted mine on a large floating shelf.
Bottom line: This IS a DLP...there IS a color wheel, the IS a light bulb inside that WILL burn out over time (turn the brightness down a little bit to conserve bulb life), and if DOES have a cooling fan. The wheel motor is not audible when set is on. The fan is not audible when set is on, unless you put your ear near the vent. And the bulb, although seems archaic to change a bulb every year to 3 years, seems a lot easier to change a bulb and retain lossless picture quality while your friends have burned out pixels on plasmas and LCDs have their backlights dim overtime. Those are disposable sets.
Picture quality is only as good as the signal it receives. Some HD channels are better than others, simple as that. Standard def is good but not "WOW," but hey, this IS an HDTV. SD is no worse than any other older bigscreen.
The Good:
Stunning picture. HD is very nice....Discovery Earth HD is a good test for natural colorful scenes. HD movies are more cinema-like than any other microdisplay or fixed pixel display (LCD, plasma). I find plasmas to be "TOO" perfect and bright. Unnaturally so. LCDs remind me of watching tv on my laptop. DLP captures that natural tone that a cinema would. Very color accurate once the settings are fiddled with. Sports programming is where this set truly shines, which is primarily the purpose i bought this for. Getting very excited for football season, but will deal with baseball right now. The detailed grass, individual pebbles in the dirt infield, bright white home team unis....etc.... Although this is only a 720p set, this is the best native resolution to have for sports. Almost all sports channels are broadcast in 720p (espn, fsn, abc, etc...) as opposed to higher resolutions as it is faster to capture motion. This paired with the very quick DLP chip, and you'll forget all about your friends' picture-frame overpriced plasma.
The Bad
Not much here, just picking at it. If researching this product, although you may read elsewhere, this set has no "cinema mode" or "my color control". I was actually looking forward to the latter feature, but oh well. I believe this is the primary difference between this model and the HLS-4675s. Minute but nonetheless misleading. Also, due to the bright bulb used to illuminate the screen, light pollution escapes out the fan vent on the left rear of the set. It casts a bluish white light. Only really noticeable when in full dark room, but not a big deal. I put a flourescent back light (warm white) behind the set for watching the tv in the dark to reduce eye strain and actually improves the eye's ability to process the picture quality. SO....the warm white cancels out the byproduct of lighting the screen.

Good TV for the price Jun 12, 2007
By stratdude83
I did a little bit of searching around...I was in the ballpark of spending around a $1000 or so and headed off to BestBuy. I had a 12% off coupon so i figured now was a better time then any...i got a $200 stand and the TV for about $1300 bucks so i was fairly happy with it...now i'll talk about the performance.
SDTV - standard definition is respectable...sometimes it gets a little grainy...but all and all it is livable and its really not THAT bad...you can tweek the picture by messing with the cable box settings as well...i have a Comcast DVR setup and i chose 480i for the 4:3 override which fills up the screen. 480i vs 480p i think that the 480i personally looks better on this TV then the 480p. The 480p looked grainy and not as sharp as the 480i...so try it!
HDTV - The HD channels look freakin awesome...this is where this TV shines and the XBOX 360 looks really good as well...there is some silk screen affects however but thats only in some very rare occurrances.
Leave the settings on standard and mess with them from there usually there OK but if you want to make it look a little better mess with the color and brightness those are the big ones.
Make sure you configure the settings in your HD cable box to support your native resolution (720p)...this is for all HDTV's as well
Overall - You really cannot beat this TV from any other manufacturer...you get the Samsung name, 46" inches at 720p and for about $1100...its lightweight and doesn't take up a lot of room...so overall i'm am pretty happy with it and i'm sure you will be too...everyone else that complains about the picture and blah blah is a baby and to remind themselves that this isn't a $3000 TV its for consumers who want a big screen HDTV for under $1000...now thats a steal in itself
I'll keep this for a few years and probably upgrade to a LCD HDTV but for now i am very happy with my purchase its a great TV

Everything I had hoped for Aug 23, 2007
By MikeB
"Mike"
I bought this TV after seeing a friend's 42" Samsung. Samsung is one of the most well-known manufacturers of DLP TVs and that was what made me look at these in the first place. In the interest of writing a short review I'm going to do a quick pro/con/conclusion:
Pros
- Very bright picture
- Great color depth
- No pixel spacing like in LCDs
- LOTS of inputs (and input names are customizable in the menu interface)
- Very light (as in pounds)
- SlimDepth
- Great for gaming (14,400rpm color wheel eliminates image ghosting and artifacts)
- Native HD resolution
Cons
- Not a very wide viewing angle, make sure your couches are within 30 degrees left or right of center or the picture will fade just a bit
- Only 720p
- Control buttons on the side of the TV make it hard sometimes to see what button you're pushing without using the remote
Conclusion
Despite the cons listed (which are really nothing, I'm just a picky tech geek) this is a great TV. Samsung DLPs are high quality, look great, and will last a long time. 720p HDTV is amazing to look at regardless if I put it in pro or con. If you purchase this TV I guarantee you will like what you get. I am very happy with my purchase.
