I have been living with this TV for about 5 months now, and I really can't say too many bad things about this TV. I had high expectations, bt had no idea they would be met so clearly.
Are there things I would like to have improved? Of course. But lets just start a list.
Picture clarity and color: Great. I haven't found the "Perfect" setup yet, but it came very nice out of the box and I am not in a hurry to sit and mess with it for a few hours for what would amount to a small incremental improvement.
Upscaling: Much better than the Receiver I have it hooked up to (Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver (Black)) which by the way is amazing, especially for the price. Use the TV for upscaling, not the receiver.
Performance: Great. I use for Wii, PS3 (Games and Blue Ray), and Digital Cable. No problem with high action games or fast movement. No special settings needed. Just played Batman: Arkham Asylum and Wet (no not adult) with great results.
Sound: Who cares, I use a receiver. But it is fine for a TV.
Size: Awesome, especially from my 10 foot viewing range.
O.K. there are some small gripes, but far from show stoppers.
Media Play through USB: It works great, but certain embedded audio tracks get out of sync more and more through the movie.
Also, COME ON, SAMSUNG! pay for the license for DTS. I have mkv files that I don't want to mux up and not be as good.
Also, would it kill you to be able to play a m2ts file.
I would especially like to see Media Play through eSata Port. No worries of file size then.
The new firmware update did add fast forward and rewind and a couple other nifties, but the above would be better.
Shipping and Service: Amazon was difficult at best on the order. I was on the phone with customer service more than 8 times to get the thing paid for and delivered, and eventially lost the interest free payment I was looking for.
When it was delivered, the box was severely damaged. I almost didn't accept it, but I got on the phone with the Big Screen Department, and they were great. They were ready to ship a new one and pick up the old that same day. I plugged it in and everything worked fine. (Did I mention the entire lower right corner of the box was ripped off, ie dropped). That caused the remote and extra junk to be missing but I ordered that through Samsung and the Big Screen Dept reimbursed me that day.
Aamazon Customer Service: Shame on you. Big Screen Dept Kudos.
Overall great set. When my wife saw I ordered it she said, "Why would we ever need such a big TV?" I looked at her because I didn't even come close to understanding the question.
Now she just looks at me and says, " We really made a great decision with this TV, it is amazing." HMMMPH.
