Good Gift for 9 yr old.......2007-12-25
My daughter received this from her brother for Christmas. She has played previous versions at friends' houses and still found this one entertaining.
Pros - The system is easy to set up and use. She was able to begin playing with little to no help. The graphics are improved from previous versions. There is more to do inside the game so she didn't make it through all the options in one sitting.
Cons - I don't think children much older than 9-10 will enjoy this game long term. Children used to gaming interactions (ie Sims) may find the friend and job interaction overly simplistic.
If you liked Dream LIfe, You'll Love Dream Life Superstar!~.......2007-12-09
I bought this for my 9 year old niece and she can't seem to get enough of it. She is totally hooked on this game. I read the other review and we did not experience any of the same problems that reviewer was having. The other reviewer, complained that you have to "earn" your Superstar status. Well, hello, that is the challenge of this game. If it came easy how fun would that be. As with everything in life, you generally have to work hard to get what you want & to earn it! That gives this toy it's educational value!
options don't work right; disappointing overall.......2007-12-09
My 8 year-old got this today. Between the two of us, it is very hard to understand. We can't figure out how to save her game; we were saving it as the manual said, but there is nothing saved next time we turn it on. Since she can't save it, she has to start over every time and can't seem to reach "star" status. My daughter was disappointed, thinking she'd be able to immediately be a star, on the red carpet but instead you have to "earn" it all. Conversations with friends are just written dialog on the screen. There are very few options regarding decorating your virtual bedroom (nothing like Webkinz, for example!). Also, the graphics are pretty bad Lastly, you never see your character except when you are in the closet (no pun intended) choosing clothes.
All in all, a big disappointment.

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!.......2007-12-26
I bought this game at Target and right when I got home I started to play it. I thought this game was sooooo fun! You get to design and create fashions, enter them in fashion shows, and show the judges your fashion skills! In each fashion show you enter, the judges give you a score on which designs are the best. There are some picky judges, and some judges that love everything you design. If you like fashion and designing clothes, Designer's World is a great game for you! I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!
What a Fab Game.......2007-11-10
i thought this game was a lot of fun! The graphics arent the best, but besides that i think it is sooo great.
PERFECT AND TTL FUN! .......2007-05-26
this game is sooooo much fun but it kinda gets limited after a while. i mean the designing and the fashion shows are sooo much fun. u get to choose where to have ur next fashion show. but each location has certain themes. like: earth tones, red, polka dots, etc. sure u loose and gain money but u can get it quite easily but ending ur session and getting an income. the music is decent and its 100 times better than dream life. trust me, this game got me hooked for weeks and i still am! have fun playing it!
Budding designer.......2007-05-15
My daughter LOVES this game! I find it a little repetitive, but she is greatly entertained!
Awesome!.......2007-04-01
This game is so much fun! I am 11 (almost 12) and got it for a present after a surgery. It was a great way to have fun when I didn't really feel like getting up. I love to design fashion and love the idea of getting to be a fashion designer, whether it is in the real world or just on a screen. You pick a fashion show with three judges and design outfits based on a theme and judges prefrences, just like in real life. You then pick models and music and send them down the runway. You can also design fashions without the shows. My friends and I play it ALL the time and I still haven't gotten tired of it!

Customer Reviews:
Packs a Punch...or will eventually!.......2007-12-26
Let me start off by saying I own an HD DVD player as well, so with this I can be pretty objective. I got this as a present for Christmas when they dropped the prices down to $299. I was very impressed with the actual picture of the player and the sound. This player will upscale your regular DVD's although I think the Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player will do it better. This player is also only one of a handful of players that has analog 5.1 outputs, which lets you enjoy all the Lossless and Uncompressed soundtracks on Blu-ray discs without an HDMI receiver. It also is 1 of 3 players that actually bitstreams these tracks via HDMI(True HD, DST HD MA) to a HDMI 1.3 capable receiver for decoding, which in and of itself is impressive. So Picture and Sound wise this player does it all.
Okay, Features. As you may well know this player is not 1.1 compatible. Although rumors have circulated online, that because this has an ethernet port that it would be 1.1 upgradeable through a firmware update. I don't know the hardware specs for 1.1 and what this is capable of, but I will say I really don't care about picture in picture commentaries...even on my Toshiba HD-A2. This player will do just about everthing you need it to do as far as watching movies. And in defense of this player: THE "RESUME" FEATURE IS A FEATURE RELATIVE TO THE DISC NOT THE PLAYER. Play Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix it resumes when you hit stop. Play Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer, and it does not.
So overall, why am I giving it only 4 stars then? Well I like some of you have experienced some playback problems through the latest firmware 1.2, though mine are very minor in comparison to the other reviews. I had a little video stutter on Pirates 3, and a little on the Order of the Phoenix. I do think they need to update the firmware soon and I think when they do this will be one of the top players on the market. Pretty impressed.
What a wonderful Christmas!!! Thanks a lot, Samsung!!!!.......2007-12-26
I received the Samsung BD-P1400 on Dec 24th. The first thing I did was to go to Blockbuster and to rent 3 movies to test and enjoy my brand-new player. Before testing the 1st movie, I did the firmware upgrade, following the instructions from Samsung, and everything seemed to be fine. I started playing "Live Free or Die Hard", and the image and sound were just amazing, and, at that moment, I was really happy with my purchase. I stopped the movie (and powered-off the player) after about 1 hour to go to a Christmas dinner. When I came back, I tried to turn on the player, and nothing happened!!! The player was not responding to any command and I couldn't even EJECT THE DISK THAT WAS RENTED FROM BLOCKBUSTER. On the following day (Dec 25th), I called Samsung Support. The guy asked me to unplug / re-plug the player, press power for 10 sec, press Fast-Forward for 30 sec, and things like this. Nothing happened! So, I decided to return the player to Amazon. The movie from Blockbuster is going inside the player! I hope Amazon can also send me a new movie together with the replacement of the player... Yes, I ordered a replacement, and not a refund, because I want to give a 2nd try. Maybe I was unlucky... maybe all the many other guys who wrote bad reviews on this product were also unlucky... this sounds like a naivy comment, don't you thing?
So, net-net, this is what happened:
1) I bought a blu-ray player that worked for just 1 hour
2) I will be charged for the disk that got stuck inside the player (notice that I couln't even watch how the movie ended!!!)
3) I will need to pay the rent of two movies that I couln't watch
4) I bought an expensive Monster HDMI cable, which is now useless, until I receive the replacement of my Blu-Ray player.
What a wonderful Christmas!!! Thanks a lot, Samsung!!!!
Beware - don't buy.......2007-12-26
Do not buy a Samsung Player. We bought one, had to upgrade it to see 'Rise of the silver surfer' and it broke. So right now we have a player that has a Blu-Ray disc stuck in it and the only thing it ever does is greeting us with 'Hello' on its display when powering on and saying 'goodbye' when powering off. We tried to got support but unfortunately all they said is, that it is all our fault. Actually we have been accused very badly for doing something illegal. We got the feeling that they would have loved to put us in prison for trying an upgrade....
Nice player with stunning picture and sound still needs to have some kinks worked out (probably with further firmware updates).......2007-12-26
The Samsung 1400 has become one of the popular selling Blu-ray devices because of price and the general quality of the picture for the device. Overall, this unit is a good, solid performer but it does have its drawbacks and some of the firmware fixes that Samsung has posted lately haven't completely eliminated some of the problems. I wanted a secondary player that was relatively inexpensive, easy to use and could play most of my discs whether they be audio or video. The Samsung 1400 lives up to that need delivering a stunning picture and audio. I'd give the unit 3 1/2 stars and will reserve the right to upgrade (or downgrade)the ranking based on the firmware updates that come through. The price is certainly right for this unit and if you are just diving into Blu-ray this is a solid little performer that has some issues you should be aware.
If you are looking for a Blu-ray player that will be able to play ALL special features in the immediate future this probably isn't the device for you. The hardware is 1.0 and 1.1 WILL be able to play special features such as picture in picture commentary, etc. while 2.0 will be able to play internet capable discs.
The picture is truly stunning in both 1080i and 1080p. The picture can be adjusted to a variety of settings depending on what you prefer. The remote is clear and easy to use and any adjustments you want to make to the player are also petty easy to do as well. Audio sounds terrific and there are jacks in the back for 5.1, 2.0, an HMDI cord is included as well. The True HD sound comes across with remarkable clarity as well. The 1400 played DVD-R's, DVD-RW's, CD's, DVD's and Blu-rays with equal ease and did a stellar job with all of these formats. It does take a bit for the 1400 to start the movie but once it does the operation was pretty smooth and quick.
There is also a internet jack in the back for firmware upgrades something that some other models (including the Sony model currently nearest in price and comparable features)doesn't have which means you should be able to upgrade as needed should you have any problems.
There are a few negatives that consumers should be aware of as well. I haven't had any problems with jitter (unlike some folks here)but even after the firmware update (as of 12/24/07)I still do have occasional problems with audio/video synching (where you have lip flap because the lips don't match the audio). Usually this is pretty easily corrected (I push stop and then push start again) but it shouldn't continue to be a problem AFTER the firmware upgrade. I'm hoping that Samsung will have this issue fixed fairly soon. It's only happened on two discs ("Ghostrider" and "Star Trek: The Original Series" when I wanted to watch the non-HD-DVD side of the disc on this player)so far but it is annoying. It's not an isolated problem related just to the 1400 as it has happened with other players (and HD-DVD players as well)but it wasn't a problem that I ever experienced with a DVD player. Keep in mind, however, that any Blu-ray or HD-DVD player has more in common with a computer hard drive than it does with a DVD player). It's a minor annoyance but, again, something that shouldn't be occurring on even an irregular basis.
The booklet that Samsung has included reminds me of a poorly edited Reaader's Digest version of a novel--you get something of the story but miss the significance because so much is missing from the story. For example, when I had problems updating the firmware, there wasn't enough information to help me problem solve the issue. I figured it out on my own just fine but it could have been resolved much more quickly if there were more information on how to deal with firmware issues.
The update for the firmware took about 30 minutes from the moment it began downloading the changes until it asked me if I wanted to update the firmware. I suspect that most of that had more to do with internet traffic than with the firmware update itself (or at least I hope so). When I did have questions for Samsung and elected to call them vs. accessing them via their website, I couldn't get through at all. It seems to me that it would behoove Samsung to have more information with easier access outside of going to their website and struggling through the large variety of options.
Overall, this is a solid performer that has its quirks. I say quirks because most of the minor problems can be fixed up with competent updates to the website for download. I like the ease of use and the image/sound quality beat out the Sony that I used for comparison. Also, it had some nice bells and whistles missing from the Sony (for example the internet port in the back for updates). I'm pleased with the performance so far although I would like to see the firmware issue with synching audio/video (a big issue for me)be resolved asap.
The purpose of my review isn't to get folks to agree with me or disagree but to try and pass along some challenges with this unit and some of the positives. If you disagree do the most challenging thing--write a review and let all of us know.
Sending it back to Amazon.......2007-12-25
I don't think this is the worst Blu-ray/DVD player, but I have experienced inexcusable problems during playback in which a player of this price range just shouldn't have. Every five to ten minutes, the frame rate would unexpectedly slow down for a second or two, causing the video to become very jittery. It also had a really hard time playing back a slightly scratched Blu-ray disc from Netflix. When I tried the disc on my Playstation 3, none of the playback problems were apparent.
The Samsung BD-1400 definitely needs to go back into the oven for a while longer because it's just not done yet. Hopefully a software update will be issued soon to address the technical problems this player has. I advise any potential buyer to be aware this player is not going to offer 100% trouble free performance. For the price and value, I would still recommend the Playstation 3. It offers better Blu-ray playback, as well as future proof updates to upcoming Blu-ray software profiles.
Amazon.com Product Description
For people looking to step up to full 1080p resolution in a 46-inch flat-panel LCD, Samsung's 2007 model LNT4661FF is a good choice. Besides offering full 1080p resolution the LNT4661F also features a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for rich blacks and subltle texture display, an 8ms response time panel for smooth motion, hidden side speakers, an NTSC tuner, and 3 HDMI ports.
Compared to other Samsung Models
The primary differences between Samsung's LNT4661F and the step-up LNT4665F LCD HDTV is in the contrast ratio and video processing power. The pricier LNT4665F offers a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio compared to this model's 10,000:1 ratio, and also offers full 10bit video processing over this model's 8 bit system. The more expensive model should display finer gradients of shading making for more detail in darker scenes. The video processing difference should ensure smoother motion in fast moving scenes for the LNT4065F.
Video Processing
The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.

- Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
- TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
- The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

Fantastic TV - and service!.......2007-12-26
I love this TV - it is better than I expected. Delivery was so prompt and the delivery company was awesome. I have never bought anything this large or pricey from Amazon (although I have shopped Amazon many times before), but it was an amazingly positive experience and I recommend Amazon to others. I will shop Amazon in the future!
You can't go wrong with this HDTV!.......2007-12-26
Much like the other prudent shoppers who have purchased this HDTV, I spent over two months researching and looking at TV's in the stores. It is very hard to compare units in the stores because the demo material they show tends to show only the positive aspects of most sets and they are turned up as bright as possible. I had previously purchased and returned a Toshiba 47HL167 because the picture had a slight green tendency that could not be adjusted out. This green tendency was not noticeable in any of the showrooms for the reasons I just explained.
I purchased the Samsung from Amazon and it was delivered only 8 days later. The white glove delivery was NOT exactly as advertised. Eagle USA (bought out by another company) did not make their 10-2pm delivery window and showed up about 3:30pm. I had to waste most of the day waiting! The delivery person was nice enough and did call about 1:50pm to let me know he was running late due to heavy traffic, but still.... He delivered the TV into my house (with my help, only a single person delivery team) then asked me to sign without unpacking and checking the HDTV as the white glove service is supposed to do. I guess I could have insisted, but I did not notice any damage to the box and he said I should note near my signature that the TV was not inspected. That way, if there were any problems discovered when unboxed, I could still have the delivery company come back and take it back. I agreed and he left to deliver his last two LATE HDTVs for the day.
The Samsung LNT4661 is everything I expected and you have read about in this and other reviews. The colors are very accurate and pleasing. A first rate picture right out of the box. I am able to display 1920x1080 @60Hz from my computer VGA out on the Sammy and the picture is incredible! This is something that not many other HDTVs with computer inputs can do. The picture of broadcast HD material is terrific as is DVD movies shown through the Component inputs. The upconversion capability of the Samsung is pretty good. I compared the picture with an OPPO DV-980H through the HDMI at 1080P. The oppo is widely regarded as one of the best DVD upconversion players on the market. The OPPO was very slightly better, but the difference was so small that I returned the OPPO saving my $182.
If I have any complaints or nitpicks, this would be it:
1. The way of doing channel adds or erases is a bit labor intensive when compared to so other methods. To delete channels, you must go through one by one.
2. Same for designating Favorite Channels, you must add them one at a time rather than providing a list method that some other manufacturers provide (Toshiba).
3. The picture in picture feature somewhat limited in flexibility. You can only have one of your main video inputs (COMP1, COMP2, HDMI1...) as the main picture and ATSC tuner image as the sub picture.
As I said, I am nitpicking. This is the lowest price 1080p 46" HDTV that Samsung makes and it has many other features that other brands don't (USB port, JPEG viewer, etc) and still one of the most accurate color pictures on the market equal to Sony models much more expensive. If I had to do it all over again, I would purchase this set again in a heatbeat and especially now that everyone is dropping the price down to the $1300 level. You won't be sorry if you choose this HDTV!
Great Buy!.......2007-12-25
After much research, my family purchased this TV as a gift to the house and we couldn't be happier with the purchase. The picture is good (blacks and colors look good), there are ample inputs for hooking up components, viewing from various angles is good (TV stand even swivels!) and it sounds amazing through my home theater system. Watching DVDs is like being at the movie theater. Some older DVDs look a bit grainy but I think that has more to do with my old progressive scan DVD player or the DVD transfer itself since the newer DVDs all appear fine. This may be resolved with a HDMI hookup (my DVD player doesn't have it) or an upconverting player, but I'm not too sold on that technology as I've read some poor reviews of even the leading upconverting players.
Note: Since Best Buy couldn't deliver the item before Dec. 31, we decided to purchase the TV from Amazon and were happy we did. Amazon's price was nearly $200 cheaper with free shipping AND they did an amazing job getting it delivered to us a week before Christmas via their equally impressive delivery service. Thanks Amazon!!!
Great TV.......2007-12-25
We really like the tv. Great images. They came and set it up and made sure it was working before taking off.
Great television.......2007-12-23
The Samsung LNT4661F 46" 1080p LCD HDTV was our first HDTV. Prior to that we watched a 27" analog set and the difference is amazing when viewing in HD. Analog programing on this TV is grainy because of the size of the screen. I like the fact that this set has 3 HDMI ports, makes hook-ups really easy. When we registered the television on line with Samsung USA we received an additional three months of warranty.
We purchased this TV through AMAZON and the free white glove delivery service was great as they unboxed the TV and set it up to insure it worked. Our first one did not (if it had this review would be a five star.) We called Amazon Customer Service while the delivery people were still on site and Customer Service advised us that we could refuse shipment and they would either refund our money or send us another Samsung. We chose to recieve another unit, so the delivery service reboxed the original set and returned it. all at no additional cost. Within a week we had another set delivered and set up. This one works great! We are satisfied with the TV, and the service we recieved.

Slingbox Pro
The Slingbox Pro ensures that you can watch all of your favorite home theater entertainment anywhere you go, with the ability to watch and control up to three standard definition and one high definition video (via component connection) devices. Using an Internet connected computer or compatible mobile phone (with purchase of SlingPlayer Mobile software), you can watch and control your home TV, DVR, basic cable, digital cable box, or satellite receiver anywhere around your home or around the globe. With a Slingbox Pro you will never be separated from your favorite TV shows, sports broadcasts, breaking news stories, digital video recordings, or video on demand.
The Slingbox Pro also includes the free Slingbox Finder service to locate a Slingbox from any network location, in or out of the home.
How it Works
Slingbox Pro is a small device that connects to your cable box to redirect the TV signal to the computer of your choice--providing high quality video, no matter the distance, so long as there is a high-speed Internet connection. This technology also allows you to access and control your TV from anywhere--and your TV doesn't even have to be on.
You can enjoy signals from a digital cable box, DVR, satellite receiver, or DVD player on any computer at home, on the Internet, or on a compatible mobile phone. One of the video sources can be an HD component device.

SlingMedia's patent pending SlingStream technology delivers the smoothest and best video quality possible. SlingStream delivers up to a 400 percent video quality improvement over the original Slingbox. SlingStream is powered by a programmable engine that is capable of running the latest video compression algorithms. SlingStream dynamically adjusts to changes in network conditions, video content, and Internet bandwidth.
At Home, At Work, or on the Go
At home, Now you can watch TV in whatever room in the house you choose. Say goodbye to the days of having to watch your child's favorite DVD over and over again. Now you can watch your soaps in the laundry room. You can watch your fix-it shows in the garage. Or you can watch your cooking shows in the kitchen. You'll never get stuck having to watch shows you don't want to now that you're in charge of what's on, when it's on, and where it's on.
Now that you can access your TV wherever you have your computer, the clock won't be the only thing worth watching at work. You can watch your news and business channels to stay updated. You can catch the big game while tending to business. Or, you can watch your favorite shows during your downtime. In any event, work will never just be business as usual.
With the SlingBox you can travel to another country and actually understand the programs. You can visit the in-laws and not get stuck watching The Weather Channel.
You can change channels and control your TV on your computer just as if you were in your living room. The AV and Pro models add remote control options for your home theater devices. Smartphone support is available with purchase of SlingPlayer Mobile software.

WOW!.......2007-12-25
I actually purchased the Slingbox for my boyfriend for Christmas. He opened it up, plug it in and BAM, we had TV on the computer. It was simple to set up and so cool... now, he can watch tv and movies on down time when he is away from home. I would totally recommend this to friends and family.... I want one of my own too!
PS... purchasing through Amazon was simple too... got the best price, delivered to me! Fast and easy!!
Works In Singapore With Starhub Cable.......2007-12-21
Ability to use with Singapore Starhub cable including the virtual remote.A really good buy.
Setup is easy and remote viewing produced reasonable picture quality depending on your internet connection.
I really like this product.
Excellent Product.......2007-12-18
I purchased this product because i was being sent overseas for a project for my company and i didn't want to miss out on my football games while i was gone for 3 months. This product was simple to install and within minutes i had it up ad running and when I finally got overseas i turned on my laptop and logged right in at my hotel and i was able to watch my games. This is an excellent product and i would recommend it to anyone.
Gambling with your money.......2007-12-16
The Slingbox's ability to control your device is the key issue. They provide a number of control codes, but not nearly enough. In my case, I was out of luck - the Slingbox was not able to control either of my DVD players. Since you don't know if they support your device or not, are you going to take that gamble?
Perfect for college students and those who travel..........2007-12-16
I am a college student and a big Philadelphia sports fan. If I wanted to watch the Flyers and Phillies games down at school, I needed a Slingbox. I bought the pro back in July as I knew I would soon take full advantage of its capabilities.
I was impressed that the Slingbox came with all the needed cables and splitters and such. They were of respectable quality too. I hooked up the cables and put in the installation CD and just watched it do the setup and configuration on my computer for me. I was amazed at how easy this was, my mom could have done this (which says a lot). We have since upgraded from Comcast to Verizon FiOS. I reconnected all of the cables to work for digital TV instead of analog and I redid the configuration within the Slingbox program and became amazed again at the quality, thanks to FiOS TV and internet. Its almost as good as watching it on the actual TV.
Another feature I didn't think about when I re-hooked up for the digital cable was I still have access to my favorites and the built in TV schedule and the DVR if I had one.
The Slingbox is a must have if you are on the go a lot or a college student. There is no need for a TV in my dorm room, it only waste space.
However, the Slingbox is not perfect. I can only expect them to fix or readd these features in the future...
1. Make it so I can record what I watch!!! If I can do it with a TV tuner or a DVR, why not a Slingbox? Please add this feature again!
2. Make it have built in wireless capabilities. My Slingbox is in the basement and the internet connection is upstairs, I had to run a wire all the way through the house for the hookup. And I don't want to buy a Slinglink.
3. Relabel your HD cable that should have been included with the pro. I wanted to buy it, but since I learned it doesn't really give you HD capabilities, I thought it was a cheap advertising scheme.
Other than that, it is a great product, with a great future. I highly recommend this to everyone.

Crummy video, vapid content, no educational value.......2007-12-12
My daughter (age 8 1/2) has been begging for this for months, based on the constant barrage of advertising on children's TV. I quickly checked the reviews here and saw that it was highly rated and inexpensive, so I bought it for her. I am stunned and appalled at how awful it is. It's similar to any one of the online sites such as Be-bratz, WebKinz, and Club Penguin, in that you create a character, move through various rooms and areas, do tasks and chores, earn money, and spend it on stuff. The video quality is awful compared to any of those sites, the music is tedious. The graphics are simple and ugly. Worst of all are the blatant stereotypes in the content - you can be "athletic" "funny" or "brainy," you can say dialog like "I think I just failed my math test" and you can have boring conversations with your friends like "I like your necklace, did you make it?" The main purpose is to get money and buy stuff. I wish I could throw it out the window.
I will add that my kaughter is delighted with it, so far, after one session.
hmmmmmm.......2007-12-11
this game is fun in the first place but then as u keep playing it gets boring cuz u alway get to do the same stuff and dont get to expirence something new. u cant actually go swimming,play tennis and go ice skating(i was disappointed) u can just sign up for them
Awesome!.......2007-12-02
I love Dream Life! It is very realistic. You can shop 'till you drop, go to the hair salon, go to your friend's house, school, dances and parties, and much much more! You earn money to buy things by signing up for jobs and doing chores. If you get good grades, your parents will let you get a TV, phone, or computer. I recommend buying this toy to anyone who wants to have fun!
Also, I just want to say that if you are on a Made in China boycott (like I am) that this toy is made in China.
So, buy this toy and have a LOT of fun!
totally fun!.......2007-08-19
I have Dreamlife and it ROCKS!!! You can go to school, the mall,salon,rec center,your BFF's home,and your home.Each game is 90 days,but school days are only like 3 min.and weekends are like up to 5 min depending how long you do stuff.Another thumbs-down is that parties and dances are stupid.I mean all you can do is talk,talk,TALK!!And when you get a computer all you can do is study and IM a friend.but other than that it's SOOOOO much fun! So don't just sit there!BUY IT!!!!

DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.
High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
- Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
- TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
- The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
What's in the box: Samsung LNT4665F 46-inch 1080P LCD TV, remote control, 2 AAA batteries, Power Cord, cleaning cloth, owners manual, warranty card.
Customer Reviews:
Great TV with Crappy Remote.......2007-12-26
I bought this TV on the Thanksgiving day sale in 2007 from Amazon. It arrived on time (although I had to call them first to schedule...learnt from reading previous reviews)...i have been using this TV since 12/3/07...the picture quality is amazing, blacks are the best, sound is not bad ... I am thinking of a home theater system so it won't be a problem...however the remote sucks...i am an engineer and ergonomically this is a very poorly designed remote....for example the numbers (for channel) are on the top and to click OK, you have to move down...cannot do it in one grip...not enough lighted buttons...very hard to see at night in dark (where you usually watch the TV)...
Very solid - I am pleased with my investment.......2007-12-26
Most people do not consider a television an investment, but I do - the TV is an investment in improving the quality of my leisure time.
This Samsung TV is an excellent product but it took a number of hours to get everything configured the way I wanted. I purchased a Samsung home theater system to improve the sound and it was worth it! The TV and the home theater complement each other particularly when playing video games.
A few caveats - I played the XBOX 360 for several days before I remembered to set the resolution to the highest available on the XBOX. What a difference! If you don't feed the TV high definition/resolution signals using component or HDMI cables, you'll be missing out and wonder what all the fuss is about.
If you take the time to set up all your components this TV produces a wonderful crisp image. It has all the connectors you will probably ever need.
Great TV from a great merchant........2007-12-26
I couldn't be more satisfied with the TV or the way my order was handled. The order went through late on the Friday afternoon after Thanksgiving. Eagle called to arrange a delivery just after noon on the following Tuesday. The delivery men brought the TV into my home, unpacked it, put it on the cart, and verified that it worked. I could not have had a better experience in buying this TV. It is awesome. The thing is only 4" thick and weighs about 60 pounds. The picture is so bright that I use it with the power saver option activated to dim the screen a little. I am using the HDMI input from my cable box and I have my PC connected to it. I give Amazon an A+++.
Great Quality Picture.......2007-12-25
I purchased this for the entertainment room, and it is awesome. The picture is great, and I have a computer with blue ray / hddvd hooked up to it via hdmi, and a philips soundbar, and all the components work great together.
The picture quality is amazing, with the 15,000 to 1 contrast ratio. I am enjoying the television so far, and would highly recommend it.
Fantastic!.......2007-12-25
I received this tv faster than the original estimated delivery date! The TV itself is awesome and I do not regret at all going with this model. The picture quality is beyond amazing and my games look great! It makes me now want an HD/Blue ray player!! I also loved the quick response I received from customer service regarding a "30 day price guarantee" They refunded my account the next day! They actually found a better discounted price than I was aware of and advised me they would refund me the difference! This act made me want to be a customer for a long time to come!! I was intially worried about purchasing a big ticket item like this online (was worried about the tv being damaged en route), but the delivery went smooth. TV came in excellent condition and the guys tested my TV before they left. VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER and INCREDIBLE TV!!!!!
