Samsung LN46A860 - 46" LCD TV - 120Hz - widescreen - 1080p (FullHD) - HDTV - piano black with deep blue trim Reviews
While searching for a tv via various sites over a period of about 7 months I noticed a recurring theme- I became overly concerned with the negative feedback and starting ignoring good deals on great tvs. I then noticed that a lot of the negative feedback was either delivery related, service related or otherwise rare occurrence related. I then came to the realization that there will always be a chance that a product that you buy will be defective- that's life.
I had been tracking this tv for about 6 months and saw the price vary (on Amazon) from 00 to about 00. Ever since the new Samsung LED tvs arrived on the scene, the old top of the line HD LCD tvs have lowered in price. Perfect timing. I went through Crutchfield which has listed the price at ,499.99- the lowest I have personally seen...ever.
So I finally pulled the trigger. FREE delivery, no sales tax, delievered within a week, perfect condition. 100% happy. Just a quick note, when I was doing my research I thought that some of the posts were from salesmen or written by a member of Samsung- please let me assure you that I'm just your average Joe who just purchased an amazing tv.
The good:
1. Excellent picture quality
2. Blue TOC matches my decor much better than the gaudy red TOC.
3. Easy setup.
4. The 120 Hz matched with the 4 ms refresh rate makes every channel so realistic it's scary. You can really notice the difference- makes every HD channel look like a blu ray disc.
5. Easy calibration- it is automated so you don't have to do anything. Best buy charges about 0 for calibration- ridiculous.
6. Extremely thin- amazing. I chose to mount this tv to a stand so the small depth allows me to push my stand very close to the wall to provide a "wall mounted effect" without the inconvenience of hiring an electrician to wire it up.
The "Bad":
1. The sound- please read further...I put "bad" in quotes here because the less than desirable portions of a tv of this caliber cannot really be considered "bad". For example, many posts suggest that the sound is "bad". Honestly, this tv is ultrathin so what kind of speakers will fit into a tv that thin? Garner expectations intelligently. Buy a Samsung soundbar. They are ultrathin and will give you ten times more bang for your buck than trying to rely on stock speakers in any flat screen tv.
Take my word for it, awesome tv. Awesome bang for your buck. Just remember, save yourself some time don't read the negatives.

Exceptional TV and Service - S. Cowart -
I purchased this set in June 20009. It's worked great ever since. I used the DVE calibration DVD to properly adjust the settings and the picture is superb. Great blacks for LCD, nice and bright, of course, colors are brilliant. The user controls are more extensive than on many sets I've seen with control over Gamma and all color levels. I prefer to watch with image enhancements turned off including 120Hz option. The picture is even better with a Blu-Ray player hooked-up via HDMI. Connectivity is wonderful with plenty of video connections, optical audio, PC RGB connector, and two or three USB ports. It also allows for an ethernet hook-up to local network and an optional dongle for wireless connectivity. I connected my 17" Apple laptop and the picture was great with many options for resolution settings. I must include a fantastic rating for Crutchfield. They are by far the best dealer I've ever had the good fortune to purchase from. And their technical support is first rate. Their prices can seem high but with no taxes and free shipping their price was actually lower than any of the other reputable outlets. Three days after receiving my set I noticed that Crutchfield was offering a free Blu-Ray player with the purchase of this tv at the same price I paid. I called them about it and received a free player in a few days. It doesn't get any better than that. The only negative comment I have about the tv is the sound. However, for such a thin set I really can't imagine built-in speakers could sound any better.

Samsung 46a860
I researched and waited for over 6 months before finally deciding to acquire the Samsung 46 inch 860. We are extremely pleased with the decision. Great picture and it was easy to install. Preferred this LCD because it is easy to manuever and although the size is almost too big for the bedroom, it is enjoyable to be the last thing you see before closing your eyes for the night. Highly recommend Crutchfield in their response and delivery....Thanks
