This set ROCKS!,
by J. Doyle, 2010-07-16

I bought this almost as soon as it was available (ok, I waited a couple of weeks after it was released until the first package deal with glasses, 3-D DVD Player, and the stupid Monsters 3d movie), wanted to use it a while a while before I published a review.

I've had it about 4 months now, so it's time.

This television ROCKS!!! The picture is amazing, *everybody* who sees it is instantly jealous. Then I tell the to look from the side, and they are again blown away...it's 1" thick! I mounted it on a power-tilt wall mount...as soon as it comes on, it tilts down form the wall, and back up when I turn it off. They sell the mounts on Amazon, but I was in too much a hurry and got it from a local big-box store (for more $). Definitely a great accessory for this set, and at 50 lbs you can use mounts meant for smaller sets (as long as the VESA is right).

There are a bunch of apps (which seem to want to "update" precisely when I try to show off this feature to my friends...not a great selling point, but if I used the apps more often it wouldn't happen exactly when I was trying to show off!), that are neat and some are quite useful. It was easy to match my set to the different services. ***Computer required to look up website and enter your tv's unique number before using app***. Netflix streaming rental app is really nice (although the movies for streaming aren't the newest ones) and I ditched my Blockbuster mail-in service immediately after realizing their app only *sells* movies, no rentals, and the Netflix combo mail and streaming was cheaper anyhow. The YouTube app is great, have watched lots of those in full screen mode. Weather, traffic, and other stuff too. I tend to just watch TV on the set most of the time.

I bought the 3-D DVD player, too, which seems to have the same apps...so there's too much redundancy for my taste there. Also, as soon as I turn on the DVD player, it takes over the TV immediately...that blows, sometimes I want to give the DVD a chance to warm up and get staged while I'm watching the end of something else. No *real* problem, just grab the remote and switch inputs again...but annoying for sure.

The sound leaves something to be desired...but what can you expect from a 1" thick television??? I feed the output to a Samsung soundbar with wireless subwoofer and all is well!

Controls are pretty intuitive, all made sense. The remote is really neat and shiny silver, and there are strange (color a/b/c/d) buttons I have no idea what they do...but I could look it up if I wanted. They may be macros or something. The DVD player's remote is similar, and can control some of the TV functionality, too...which I like.

3D is...well...there, and still under development by broadcasters. I haven't done much with that, as there's not that much to do. I didn't realize some World Cup games were broadcast in 3D, or I would have tried to stand that horrible buzzing sound form those obnoxious horns to see how it looked. "Converting" regular signals to 3-D seems silly, but every now and then you can see an effect. A basketball game did look 3D-ish, for sure. The glasses are a bit less comfortable than I'd like, so I prefer to watch in 2D without them on. As channels are added with 3D, I may change my mind. The "kids" (adult kids) like messing with that stuff.

There is something about the picture...it's so High Def, so "real", that for a while everything looked like a soap opera. It's hard to describe what I'm trying to say. Everything seemed to have that "soap opera feel" to it, some stuff was kind of uncomfortable to watch for some reason. We got over it, I guess, because we don't notice it anymore...but visitors mention how "real" things look and I think they are noticing the same thing we used to see.

Very happy with decision to buy this from Amazon. Unit arrived exactly when it was supposed, to. The delivery guys called in advance, and were very polite. If I wasn't going to wall-mount it, they would have taken it out of the box and set it up for me. I bought the 4 year Square Trade warranty from Amazon, too...repairing this thing only once would have to cost WAY more than the price of the warranty!

Very satisfied, very happy customer.

Love this TV!,
by Jennifer Miller, 2010-07-22

I saw this TV in a store and was blown away by the picture quality. The price was too high so I didn't buy it. I checked on Amazon and saw the price was almost $800 cheaper so I bought it here. We have not had any issues at all with the TV (had it since April 24th) and the guys that brought it into the house were great. They set it all up and took away all of the boxes.

ETA: I have not had any color/light bleeding..the picture is amazing! Everyone who comes over always comments on how amazing the picture is!

Blow Your Hair Back,

GREAT TV!! Was debating between several TV's (Sony was the main contender), VERY happy went with this Samsung. First - it is amazing how slim this TV is (this was not the primary attribute I was looking for, but was a nice bonus). The picture quality is amazing - though there are a lot of personalized settings that you may have to adjust to get the 'perfect' picture for you. The nice thing is that the settings are 'relatively' easy to follow and adjust compared to my previous tv's. Sound quality is just 'okay' the setting options (you can focus on voice instead of music in the background etc) are nice, and while effective, could be better. Though I must admit I have never had or seen a tv with sound settings I am happy with. Picture quality is absolutely the best out there right now - so vivid and sharp - colors are amazing. the 240 hz processor can be difficult to get used to. With regular movies and tv it can seem that the movement is off. From what I am told it is because the picture is refreshing so frequently that it is weird to the human eye - if you can't get 'used to it' the tv has multiple settings to play with to get the 'perfect' picture / movement / processor speed for you. 3d feature is cool - but 3d movies WAY too expensive. Also can be nauseating after a while - but children LOVE it (kind of like roller coasters I guess). Anyhow - would STRONGLY RECOMMEND this tv to anyone in the market - so many additional features I can not even get into - TV is online - easy to use, samsung apps, netflix etc all right from your tv - pretty amazing!

Awesome TV!,

The best vehicle for 3D content,
by Ciro Silva, 2010-04-19

Acquired the TV while on a trip to the States and brought back to Brazil with me (a 55" by commercial flight!). My lab at the University of Sao Paulo has created stereoscopic 3D content for teaching and entertainment for many years. This TV has proved to be the perfect medium to show our material to small audiences. The images are cristal clear and the definition is superb! Thanks Samsung and all the others manufactures (Panasonic and Sony so far) for bringing this futuristic machine to reality in my time. I highly recommend it. Just be patient and wait for all the wonderful content (entertainment and educational) that will be flooding the marketing very soon.
