Samsung LN46A860 46 LCD TV 120Hz widescreen 1080p (FullHD) HDTV piano black with deep blue trim Fantastic TV-great customer support
 
Review Date: February 2, 2009
Reviewer: K. Wilson,
This is the best TV I have ever owned and if you are in the market for a 46" LCD, Amazon has a great price. I purchased mine back in October for $700 more than the current price - sometimes it pays to wait I guess. Sound, picture, features are all fantastic. After checking many review sites I went with this unit and am glad I did. The touch of color (TOC) is subtle but shows just enough to add a nice aesthetic look.

I rated this TV five stars although I did have a minor issue detailed below. Samsung took care of the issue and the overall TV has continued to please. The only negative, which I have to preface is known by Samsung and they take care of promptly is a rare "chipping" issue with the TOC frame setup on some of the 750s and 850/860s due to a few bad shipments (happened to mine). However, Samsung promptly fixed this free of charge with no known reoccurrence (as per the repairman that has done several of these repairs). Samsung's customer service, at least on LCD TVs, is outstanding with both email and phone call followups to insure that the customer is satisfied with the repair work. The repairman assigned by Samsung came out, replaced the entire TOC frame on the TV and I haven't had any other issues. As stated above, the actual electronics/LCD elements of this TV itself are fantastic and with Samsung readily and promptly fixing the frame issue, I still have to say that this was a great purchase.

The Super Bowl never looked better and the 120hz performed beautifully. Our friends couldn't get over the picture they were watching as the Steelers one upped the hapless Cardinals in fantastic receiving catches.

You might be able to find the March 2009 issue of Consumer Reports at your local library reference area. They scored tvs based on size category of 52", 46", and 30". In the 46" LCD category the 850 model was scored as BEST out of all tested 46" LCD televisions!!!

The 850 model is basically the same as this 860 model. It is just the touch of color frame that is different. I bought this model because the blue is much better looking than the red.

The picture quality is A+++ EXCELLENT. Even when I was using regular cheap $10 rabbit ear antenna to pick up channels 2 to 13, the picture looked super sharp and super realistic.

I have an Xbox 360 elite, and a Panasonic BD60 blu-ray player. Both devices work perfectly with this tv, and blu-ray movies look incredibly amazing!!!

You will definitely want to get a blu-ray player with this television. You may be tempted to purchase the Samsung 3600 player, but I should warn you that it cost a lot more than the above mentioned Panasonic player. I personally recommend the Panasonic because I have not had any technical issues with it, and the picture looks just as great as more expensive models.

Also, as of May 2009 most stores started to stock the "B" models instead of the "A" models. The B models are NEWER and they have a full black color frame. So you may want to consider one of those B models instead of this A860. But if you do decide to purchase this A860, you will definitely be happy with it. I love the one that I have.
