The hi-def is awesome. Brilliant colors and clarity. The remote is very easy to use. I used to worry about burn-in. The built in protection, "pixel shifting," obviously works. My wife is bad about leaving the guide up for long periods of time. NO pro

QuickTake:

Pros: Exceptional picture and fast action video. Great price.

Test patterns in 720p format showed excellent picture resolution for all the Samsung's high-def inputs, although a slight degree of edge enhancement could also be seen with an HDMI connection. The component-video input, on the other hand, looked comparati
