Rating: - * Samsung TV ... The TV arrived sooner than promised and and has performed well since it came out of the box. Amazon was the only place that had a white TV in stock. Rating: - * Looks really nice on the wall ... Ordered this T.V. for my wife to put in the kitchen. It looks great in the kitchen with white appliances works great and she really likes it Rating: - * Stupid Marketing and Horrible Customer Service ... This TV comes with a sticker on the front, which did not come off without leaving a GREAT DEAL of glue residue on the front of the TV. Called Customer Service a number of times, and wasted hours of time. After suggesting a ton of "home remedies" for removing the glue, they caused stains to be left on the monitor. Then I started wasting more time dealing with Customer Service to figure out how to get an exchange, but Customer Service refuses to recognize that the problem is their own fault. Customer Service promised to get back to me within 48 hours; it has been almost two weeks, but still no resolution. Samsung Marketing team is just plain stupid -- why would you put a sticker on the front of a TV and risk ruining it with glue residue? Samsung Customer Service is horrible, and I am extremely frustrated. I used to be a loyal Samsung buyer, but after this experience, I will have to rethink my brands. Rating: - * Okay HD TV for the price! ... I bought this television based upon the customer ratings and specs. The first television arrived (early) and had a stuck blue pixel. Amazon's return process was great and I had a replacement in a few days. However, the replacement also has a stuck pixel (only red not blue). I realize stuck pixels are somewhat common, but I still don't like it. For $360.00 it should work great! I haven't decided if it's worth the hassle to send this one back also. Rating: - * Perfect except for the \"sticker\" ... Everthing was perfect except for that damn sticker they put on the screen and side of the TV. I spent forever trying to remove the glue from the screen and the chassis. As far as the TV goes, even my wife could figure it out right away. Nice picture once you get the glue off. I would buy another one but keep some car "bug remover" nearby. |

Where the NBA Dynasty series (the other initial entry is the slightly meatier Los Angeles Lakers: The Complete History) outdoes Ultimate Jordan is in the six playoff games--one for each year--as they were originally broadcast, minus halftime and commercials. Having the nearly complete game (usually running 90-100 minutes, from the TV introductions to post-game interviews) means you can skip straight to John Paxson's clutch basket or what was expected to be the final shot of Jordan's career. Or you can savor each game in its entirety, all the better to appreciate the artistry of Jordan in his three-pointer barrage against Portland or his "flu game" against Utah. You can see other great players too, of course, including Jordan's teammates--Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Dennis Rodman--and those opponents unfortunate enough to face the Bulls--Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Karl Malone, and others. Because these are all NBA Finals games, you won't see Jordan's shot over Craig Ehlo or his 63-point coming-out party against Boston, but the 1990s Chicago Bulls were a team for the ages, and merely having their games--some of them all-time classics--available for home viewing is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi

While last-minute heroics tend to be the standard by which we define excellence, there are many other moments that have left an indelible impression, many of them highlighted here. The video clips fall into 10 categories: Dunks, Alley-oops, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Teamwork, the Clutch Shot, Moves, Hustle, and Buzzer-Beaters. At the beginning of each section is a brief introduction. Before showing the top 10 dunks of all time, for example, we learn about the evolution of the dunk--from the first slam to the man who could fly, Michael Jordan--and we hear background commentary from NBA legends such as Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Dr. J, and Bill Russell. This video recalls familiar moments of NBA lore that you will want to own for countless repeat viewings. --Jeremy Storey
