Okay I've been doing some research and reading all the reviews. Firstly, I've owned Samsung HTV's before and have always been happy with their equipment. During my review of a bedroom replacement HDTV I came across the Samsung PN42B450. Since I recently removed all my cable boxes in the house except for the HDTV/DVR (Comcast Georgia) I needed a HDTV with a built-in tuner to scan Comcast signals using IRC. Thankfully this HDTV rocks and found everything I originally had and even though some channels aren't HD picture quality is still amazing.
If you need a HDTV and have Cable feel confident in knowing this HDTV will indeed pickup all your Cable (unscrambled) channels... not just 12 but I'm talking about 130!! I don't have anything else added to it yet but looking into a DVD/R and will update accordingly. FYI Audio Output is indeed optical only so beware for your bedroom home theater people... you might need to upgrade.
Awesome and at a Great price.

This has been a great TV. Vibrant colors, no problems with action or fast motion artifacts. Deep blacks. I highly recommend this unit as a great value for price TV.

The TV set is very good, the shipping company Pilot is no good, they are a bunch of lazy men, at least in my town.
Amazon is a weird place for shopping, if they knew some items are hot, they,then jack up the price, so look out for the dishonest Amazonians, they are not as nice as they may seem.
