Received the unit with free shipping incredibly fast. Had to be delivered by a special shipper other than UPS or Fed Ex but arrived without blemish. Unit was easy to set up. Very happy that it comes with so many connection options including 4 HDMI which is very handy. When we first plugged it in to our high def cable box, I was pleased with the improvement in image quality but expected more. After a few minutes, I realized I had to go to the specific high def cable channels. My jaw dropped when I saw the incredibly intense and sharp images that almost looked real. 1080p is the way to go with a set this size. Sound quality was actually quite good on this set, but if you adjust the equalizer settings to boost up the base, you begin to get some distortion with the volume turned up. To really enjoy this set, I purchased (also from Amazon) a Sony soundbar with 3.1 sound. Talk about amazing sound to go with the amazing images. Highly recommend this system. Don't let the LCD believers fool you. Image quality is fantastic no matter where you sit. No LCD can do that.

This TV has an excellent picture. Unlike the other reviews i have not noticed any buzzing, but i do have the TV inside a cabinet that backs up to a wall which may be absorbing the buzz. Hooking the TV up to the internet was easy and the widgets work great. I am disappointed that Samsung placed the RF eye on the lower right hand side of the TV since this is somewhat blocked by the cabinet. I'm sure this is unique to my situation so it probably won't impact other users. I have to admit that i never considered where the RF eye would be located on the TV, but i will next time.

This was a replacement Plasma for a Vizo 50" we got around six years ago. The Vizio cost us around 3K at the time. Obviously prices and quality have come a long way since then.The picture quality is superb. The richness of the colors are night and day compared to the Vizio. The setup of the TV was also very simple and it is significantly lighter, making it much easier for us to mount on the already installed wall mount. We enabled Internet TV via the Samsung LinkStick. This is annoyance since it's proprietary and costs about 3X what a regular USB wireless adapter would cost. But, other than the cost, the setup is very straight forward and while the widgets are a bit slow to load, the functionality is great. Amazon Videos work superbly in HD. This is first generation but has significant potential.The only complaint we have is the reflection that often shows up in the frame of the TV. It is highly reflective and the smallest amount of light can cause a reflection/glare.

For the $1139+tax that I spent, I couldn't have asked for more. The colors and black levels are great. The TV looks great. Samsung's attention to design with respect to the remote control and on the on screen menu's is much appreciated. Widgets aren't the best but I knew that from the onset and don't use them much anyways. The bezel and the screen do reflect a bit of light, but the picture still remains ok.
