I was shopping around for a sub-42", 1080p, 120Hz HDTV for at least 1~2 weeks. Finally, I selected Samsung LN37B650 and found Amazon provided the best pricing available.

But, after reading some reviews about the shipment service via CEVA. I was a little hesitated to place my order with Amazon. Given that Samsung provides good services & supports, I took my risks and ordered through Amazon (via CEVA). My thoughts were if anything goes wrong, I am sure Amazon and Samsung will be taking good care of me. So, I went ahead and ordered.

I received the unit last week and loved it ever since. It only took me about less than 10 minutes to set up everything and hook it up with XBox360, BD/DVD, and Internet. Through the Internet connection, I also upgraded the Firmware. The UI and set up menu are very easy to adjust. I think Samsung has really done a great job this time.

About CEVA, here are my thoughts (based on this purchasing experience strictly):

I thought CEVA was very responsible. They called me 1 day before the delivery and also 1 hour before the delivery. They wanted to make sure that I was there when they deliver the package. The LN37B650 was shipped from Reno, NV to LAX. CEVA actually delivered 1 day earlier before the scheduled time. If I have to give them a grade, I will probably give then 95 out of 100.

I think this shopping experience would have been 100% perfect if the paper/package box was undamaged. It could have been from the air shipment. In any case, I took the risk to accept the package and found the unit brand new and untouched. Other than that, it was a pretty good shopping experience for me.
