Reviewing Samsung HDTV Reviews

Samsung HDTVs are some of the highest rated, most affordable high definition television sets made. Don't take my word for it, though; check out what other Samsung HDTV owners have to say about Samsung's picture quality, reliability, and other features of their Samsung HDTV.

I must, however, warn you to beware of online reviews. These days, there are companies that pay freelance writers to log on to popular electronics sales and review sites and write reviews praising certain products, raising the level of buzz around a product. These paid product reviews are a marketing tool that HDTV manufacturers and web site developers use to generate excitement about their products and the sites on which they are sold.

There is no way you can tell that a reviewer is paid when you read the review, but there is one way to decide which reviews may be suspicious. Most paid product reviews are required to have a minimum word count - usually 25 or 30 words. If you see a lot of short, vague reviews written by people with anonymous screen names for one particular product, keep in mind as you read those reviews that they might have been written for pay.

One way to spot genuine reviews is to look for reviewers who use their real names. Although there may be security issues associated with using one's real name online, a review written by someone who uses their real name has a sense of transparency and honesty that other reviews may not have.

Just because a company pays its product reviewers doesn't mean the product is no good. In fact, a smaller company may have an outstanding product that would never get noticed were it not for paid product reviews. But take online reviews with a grain of salt, and never base a purchasing decision on online reviews alone.

That being said, let's evaluate some Samsung HDTV reviews.

Samsung HDTV Model No. LNS3251D 32" LCD

This Samsung HDTV is perhaps the highest rated model Samsung makes. Of 236 customer reviews, 168 customers, or 71% of customer reviewers, gave this Samsung HDTV a five-star rating. A product with a lot of reviews usually means the reviews are more believable than a product with just one or two reviews.

Vadims Kosolapovs, who writes reviews under his real name, reviewed this Samsung HDTV after he had owned it for nine months. Overall, Mr. Kosolapovs was very satisfied with the quality of the picture and the style of this Samsung HDTV, but he also mentioned some features that were not as well thought out, warning other potential purchasers about them. That is the purpose of an online review, so his review was very useful.

To summarize, do consult Samsung HDTV reviews before you buy your next Samsung HDTV, but don't make online reviews the only factor in deciding which Samsung HDTV to buy.
