Summary: BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
Comment: I SURE AM GRATEFUL I PURCHASED THE 3 YEAR SERVICE CONTRACT!
I have had this TV since December of 2006 and now have a second service call scheduled. The screen has developed black lines horizontally across the screen and has a watery quality to it. It is really evident in faces and sky pictures. It is not displaying in HD.
This is the same problem I had in November of 2006.
There is no reason for something so expensive to be of such poor quality. If this repair doesn't take hold, I will be looking for restitution.

Summary: TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
Comment: Do NOT buy a Samsung product especially their DLP TV's. I bought the 42 inch DLP model HL_R4266W and about 6 months after the 1 yr warranty expired, my TV started displaying a left shadow on the screen. What started as a one inch shadow has become 4 inches in 3 months. A cursory google seach shows other customers with same exact problem. I wrote 3 letters to Samsung's "customer service dept" and received zero replys. I finally was able to get someone on the phone who referred me to their exceptional customer relations departments. What a joke! The rep. "assisted" me by telling me I should have purchased an extended warranty and that if the TV was defective it would have been recalled by Samsung. When I asked how many defective TV's were required to demand a recall, she did not know the answer. She did "help" me by putting my complaint on a level 2 status. Wow. I can sleep better now. This will be the last Samsung product I or anyone I know will buy as they do NOT stand behind their product.

Summary: Samsung DLP (Texas Instruments DLP Technology)
Comment: I believe this was the buy of the decade for me. Picture quality is great! Watch the LCD DLP because they can't touch the motion smoothness of a true DLP. If you don't need to hang your TV on a wall get a DLP. Better picture and the cost is less.

Summary: Great TV - I've had no problems
Comment: I purchased this television after researching all my HD options. It is the perfect balance or price, size,picture, and life span (of course, anticipating a lamp change). When I purchased it in June of 2006, the price was still $1499 at most places. A couple of points:
1. Great picture IF you use HD cables. I've gotten great performance out of three video game systems (PS2, Wii, 360) and an upconverting dvd player.
2. Buy an upconverting DVD player. It is so worth it. And use an HDMI cable with it.
3. The picture might take a little adjusting, but once you get it right, I think it offers more cinematic visuals than anything I've seen.
4. The sound quality is surprisingly good.
5. I haven't had any problems with the tv (although, I must say that mine is not hooked up to any tv signal and I only use it an average of 2 hours a day for movies and games). My understanding is that a lamp change is likely, but that overall, DLP has a longer life than any other HD format.

Editorial Reviews:

Featuring compact lightweight "floating screen" design, Samsung's 42" Widescreen DLP TV delivers the ultimate HDTV experience in true 1280 x 720 resolution. You'll enjoy lifelike, razor-sharp pictures in stunning color, contrast and clarity, thanks to the ultra-fast DLP and Brilliant Color technology and the DLP chip from Texas Instruments. A contrast ratio of up to 2500: 1 captures blacker blacks, crisper whites and images that burst into life. And the unparalleled speed of the DLP chip, with millions of tiny mirrors that switch on & off over 15, 000 times per second, delivers a precise, razor-sharp picture making the HL-S4266W ideal for sports, fast-action video and gaming.
