I have only had this product for a few days. Right now, it is amazing! So many options, but so simple to navigate. It also makes a GREAT pc moniter!
BUT:
Keep your recipt. Set up everything and make sure you inputs work properly. The first model I brought home had issues with the HDMI inputs that rendered the whole purchase obsolete; I WANT HD AND BLUE-RAY! Anyway, I took it back and exchanged it for the one I am using now. No problems. Perfect!

A friend of mine and I both got TVs around the same time. I got this, and she got a 60" Mitsubishi. At first I was jealous that she had a TV over a foot bigger than mine, but then i saw the difference in picture. We both have Nintendo Wiis, and using the same game her picture quality was much worse. Samusung TVs are the absolute best on the market if you have a tight budget and want the best picture quality available. Samsungs are also the best deal! Of course, the ABSOLUTE best TV is the Pioneer Elite 60", but it is way to expensive and the Samsung is a not-so-distant second, even as a 40"!! I really do love this TV, and I recommend buying it!

I bought this TV in May 2009 to watch NASCAR races.Picture tube went in November 2009.Contacted Samsung customer service for repair.Could not find my ORIGINAL SALES RECEIPT so they told me NO warranty coverage.This works out to $200 a month for this 40" TV.Even the 3 Mitubishi's I bought in the eary 90's(which were know for bad picture tubes)lasted 1 1/2-2 years.And Mitubishi at least paid for parts.If you enjoy throwing your money away this is the TV for you!Worst TV and customer service ever.

Wow, did I luck out! I did very little research before buying, (which goes against my usual process) but knew enough of the basics to know that I wasn't getting burned too badly. After hooking this TV up to a blue ray and spending some time in front of it, I can say that most of the reviews here are spot on. There is a little bit of ghosting with the 60 hz. version I own , but other than that (and the fact that the remote does indeed need to be pointed well at the tv) this TV is of superb quality. My neighbors are upset that they spent much more money and aren't as impressed with their picks as they were with this Samsung. I was able to find it for under $800 and it was worth every cent. Some considerations are that it is a smaller HDTV, but if you put it in a bedroom, it will be perfect. Also, it took all of five minutes to set up and the sound is fine as long as the room isn't enormous. I am hard of hearing and there is plenty of audio there! I reccomend it!!!!!

Bought this TV back in November 2008 and it has proven to be a solid performer. Naturally, as with all products of this type it was obsolete the minute I opened the box, However, "obsolete" has become a relative term because the replacement model for this TV is exactly the same. The only change is a letter in the model number. This is done for marketing to make people think they are getting a new and improved product when it really is not.
(Now they have the new line of LED slim TVs, but they are way overpriced).
I have read and heard many complain about the black levels and motion on LCD TVs, but often times it's merely a matter of adjustments where the black levels are concerned. As for smooth motion the Samsung LN40A530 has no problem with movies or TV shows and the like. (It's only as good as the source after all). If you are a sports enthusiast you may want to go with a 120hz TV if your considering LCD. Although this TV is not terrible by any means, a 120Hz model will give you that edge in smooth motion that is missing from any 60Hz model.
As I stated, this TV is a solid performer and very adept at giving the best picture possible from any source and any broadcast form including 1080p which we still have yet to see come over the wire.
It even looks good just sitting there when it's off with its black piano like finish. (I don't like the "touch of color" models with the red personally so I am glad I chose this model).
The only con I can think of is that the controls on the TV itself are impossible to see in any light, so there is no way to control the TV should the remote fail from other than dead batteries.
