I have had this TV for over 2 years and the picture is great. High Def. looks outstanding...I have not had a single problem with it. The bulb that needs replaced every 2-3 years to brighten up the picture is 185 dollars at samsung.com. This TV will give you are great picture if you can get it at a good price. I would not pay over 2000 for this TV today b/c of what you can get now for 2000...but if the price is right...this is a great tv.

I purchased it Oct. 2005 from another e-store at super price of $2443 shipped. Its a great unit but it may be a good time to go 1080P and consider flat panel. One MAJOR CAVEAT that I am learning is that the lamp will last about 2000 - 2500 hours and cost $200-400 and its seems to vary by models. I was told it has 7k life by Samsung but my particular lamp has started to fade after 2000-2200 hrs. The cost of 9 to 10 lamps over 10 years even at do it yourself route at $200 a pop makes Plasma and flat panel LCD a better choice. Plasma has 40,000 hours life and no maintenance and it may pay over time. In 2005, 60" plasma was 7k vs. 3 k for 720p DLP, but now the price differential is not that great, and picture quality is awesome for Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and LG.

3 months after my warranty expired, the color wheel failed...looking at the internet, this is a fairly common problem with Samsung DLPs.
While the picture is great, I'm concerned that it barely lasted the warranty period before needing repair.

We have had this tv since November 2005 and have really enjoyed it. We had it delivered via the amazon delivery option. The delivery guys unboxed it outside the house and placed it on the floor because we hadn't yet found an appropriate tv stand. My father in law and husband then spent the day getting everything programmed. The picture quality is clear and I've grown dependent on the tv guide which comes with the tv. We've had no problems with the tv. We definitely liked the ease and competitive pricing amazon offered. I know some people have had difficulty with the shipping. We've found that the delivery people will give you a call if you request it, so you don't need to wait around all day. As for another person having a problem with the delivery people not hooking the tv up for him, I've never encountered delivery people who would do that. I was ecstatic when the guys who later delivered my tv stand actually took the time to place my tv on top of the new stand.

This TV is huge. I was originally planning on purchasing a 50-55 inch TV at the $2K price range. There is a lot of value in this TV.
HDTV looks awesome. It even looks better than DVDs playing through over the component cables. This TV doesn't have 1080p support (it has 1080i though), but you're not really missing anything because most HDTV programs aren't transmitted higher than 720p (which this TV fully supports). This TV also supports Cablecards if your cable provider has them available.
The other semi-problem mentioned earlier was that there wasn't enough high end inputs (hdmi, DVI), and it's true though there are enough component inputs if you prefer that. The Anynet function and TV Guide feature was useless for me, but it's always nice to have extra features.
One of the neatest features is plugging my computer into the TV through the D-Sub (15 pin monitor) input. Though some care has to be made so you don't accidentally set the resolution to something that can't be displayed properly on the TV. It is pretty finicky when it comes to what resolutions can be displayed unlike a regular monitor.
One other minor issue I had was the viewing angle. The TV doesn't come with a stand, so some thought has to be put into the placement of this TV. For optimal viewing, you want to be able to be eye level with the center of the TV.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this TV purchase and recommend it as a very good DLP solution for those that don't need the 1080p or a lot of the higher end digital inputs.
edit - The newer 61" 1080p model (HL-R6168W) from Samsung might be more value for only a few hundred dollars more as of the prices posted on Amazon today (4.3.06).
