Great picture, sound, etc.

none that I am aware of.

Purchased from Best Buy. Excellent picture, never had any problems with this television. Wanting to sell at this time.

Reliable, quality picture.

Heavy.

Had it since 2001. Never had any problem with it. Moved about 5 times. It's still in perfect condition. Go SAMSUNG!

Great picture, price. Flexible inputs. Good looking.

Not reliable, will not last. A TV at this price should last 15+ years. I feel like I rented this TV. It comes on at random times, I have to keep in unplugged when not in use. And now the picture is shot, it only uses the middle 50% of the screen and is shaped like an hourglass. The RGB guns are offset by over an inch. Useless! I got three good years, which comes out to about $466/year. Rip off! One more thing, the converence has to be set manually and only has a single point of reference and no auto-correction - so pick which part of the screen you want to look sharp, and ignore the rest. (until it goes and all looks terrible)

Was a great TV but has major reliability problems. Do Not Buy.

Who doesn't have a lot of TVs? This TV is a high performer but quirky... like my Sharp 32" (another story!)

My samsung PCK520R went out after having it for approx. 2 years, I guess I was fortunate enough to have bought the extended warranty. However, it is now Sept. 6, 2003 and my TV has been out since June 26, 2003. After several attempts to fix the TV, leaking tube, bad deflection board, another leaking tube, beside wrong parts sent by Samsung time and time again, nothing has worked. So I sit here paying for NFL Ticket and can't watch the first game of the season. Best Buy has not been very cooperative and neither has the only service center in town. The stories I have received from both have not only been contradicting but unbelievable. I am fed up at this point and do not recommend this product to anyone. Unfortunately I am forced to buy through Best Buy again because of the warranty and have come to find out it will cost me 2 x the cost I originally paid for this defective Samsung Big Screen because of all the HDTV models now available. Best Buy only has 3 TV's that are projection without the HDTV feature. I am seriously thinking about taking the store credit which is what they give you and purchasing another TV somewhere else. Frustrated in Florida

What a deal for the price great picture &sound with all the features that I wanted. (just remember you get what you pay for)

I was lucky that it lasted longer than the others Durability is not an issue with this TV so if you want a short term TV that's cheap go for it and to the people that haven't had any problems well try looking to see if you can find that same model and you better pray that this won't happen to you me I wont by anything with Samsung on it

I'm another buyer of a 2000 model Samsung PCK520R Big screen tv bought Oct. 2000 I thought that I did all of my home work comparing different brands & models and went with the Samsung with a service plan well all was ok till July 27 then it went out no problem called Best Buy to get service2 days later shop picked up tv returned 5 days later only to go back out 2days later shop picked up and after 3 attempts in the shop now Sept23rdwas told by shop owner that problem was with bad Samsung parts and was waiting to find out if warranty company would by back tv since they were not making any money trying to repair tv. well after that I called Best Buy and finaly talked to somebody that would do something and started the no lemon procdurewon't know till atleast Oct9th.well then I wrote an email to Samsung to let them know what a pile their Tv's are. well i recived a reply 9/28 asking me to call 9/30 so we will see.

I thought I was buying a good T.V. when I spent over $1,300.00. The T.V. ended up braking a couple of months after I got it. It has already been fixed 3 times and now the problem is back.

Had a great picture and was relatively inexpensive for what I thought I was getting...a TV that would work past it''s 1 year anniversay!

Samsung not backing their products..

Same unfortunate story as the other 2 consumers who bought a 2000 model year PCK520R. After one year the TV just stopped working. Took the TV to a Samsung Authorized Service Center..after getting the warranty extended by them to cover the cost. The service center had the TV for 5 months..no joking. I lost it on them and the TV was fixed 2 days later. One month later the TV is out again. I don''t know to what extent anyone else went to get satisfaction or at least acknowledged accountibility from Samsung..but I plan to deal with them until I do. I can''t imagine spending this kind of money and not at the very least get a sympathetic customer service representative. They count on people giving up and letting it go making it just that more difficult for others to get them to step up when they know this model is defective.

Price, picture, easy to set up and use.

None so far.

Great TV for the price, I also got it with 0% financing for a year and a half at Best Buy. I will ride this baby for a few more years until the widescreen HDTVs go down in price. For my needs right now, it is perfect.

As for the 2 reviewers whose TVs broke after the year warranty. If you buy from a place like Best Buy....ALWAYS purchase the extended warranty on a major purchase like a Big Screen TV. For a couple hundred bucks (tops), your TV is guaranteed for at least 5 years and you get peace of mind. You two are proof that it is well worth the money. There are bound to be lemons in every brand, so you got to cover your behind! ;-)

cheap, good picture

broke twice in the first 13 months, warranty only covers one year

It first broke 6 months after I bought it, it's still under warranty--no problem. It broke again at month 13, guess what, the warranty expires after one year.
I am still making payment on the TV, but the TV is worthless now.
I would not recommend this TV to anyone. Spent $300 more and get a more reliable brand.
