Highly recommended. This is after six months of ownership. I would recommend adding a Samsung BluRay device with SmartHub for best results."

I had read that sometimes with the LED, the blacks aren't a true black and so that was one of our reasons we went with the plasma, besides the amazing price. The picture quality is outstanding. We have watched a few things in 3D and I actually got motion-sickness the first time lol. I would definitely purchase a samsung again. Great experience so far!"

It looks great, the 2D to 3D conversion is...weak.But, so what? 3D movies and video games look AMAZING!Regular 2D tv looks AMAZING! This set is 720p but, it looks WAY better than my last 1080p set. The colors are deep and rich, the blacks are actually black. I'm just over the moon on this purchase.(3 months later by the way)I have zero regrets on getting this set."

We do use the Netflix app and this works very well."

"This TV is beautifully designed and an excellent value. The fact that it's only 720p doesn't matter much since the majority of programming from most cable companies is scaled up 720, rather than 1080 anyway. Very nice picture. It's great to get 3D at this price point so the only drawback we've found is that this model doesn't work with the Samsung LinkStick wireless adapter as the Samsung website recommends that it does."

"I own numerous Samsung displays from 22" to 55" but this is my first 3dtv and it's the perfect size for a 14' x 14' bedroom. The 3d works amazingly well with the Samsung Active (battery) glasses and both my ps3 and Samsung BD-D5500ZA blu-ray player. Speakers sound surprisingly well for such a thin bezel but I still recommended a home theater sound system. Colors, deep blacks and rich whites shine and running my pc to this tv looks amazing playing Battlefield 3 and Dead Island with 3d vision enabled. I highly recommended this unit for an affordable 3dtv.
***Note: My devices do detect the display as a 1080p (2d & 3d mode) but remember the native resolution is only 720p."

Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color

Cons: not true 1080p but i don't mind.

"Great TV for the price, and excellent for night time viewing/gaming. The 3D is a real bonus. It has some good settings to prevent burn in. & At this screen size you can't tell the difference between 1080p and 720p, especially if you are sitting at the correct viewing distance and besides, most content (except for Blu-Rays) is 720p."

i hope this last longer than the other tv i bought, but it's already 10x's better in features and looks.

the stand alone is impressive. :)"

Best entry level 3D tv out there

PostedJune 28, 2011

I would recommend this to a friend!

PostedJune 28, 2011

"Trying to figure out what's better for you?Well remember at 40" and under the human eye has a hard time seeing the different between 1080p and 720.This TV being 43" is close enough to that 40" mark to make it very very hard to see the difference.So why pay a hundred or more to upgrade to 1080p in this size range?
This TV does not have online connectivity.But I haven't seen a 3D blu ray player that doesn't already have that built in.
The USB port supports many different file formats.Here's a little tip.I found this out by accident but work 99% of the time.File formats that the TV it self doesn't support my Samsung Blu ray player does.And vise versa.
Lets face it.If you are looking at this you are in the market for 3D.The 3D is awesome.The glasses are light weight and the batteries last about 70 hrs.I guess my only draw back would be the 2d to 3d option.I really don't see that much of a difference.
One of the first things you will want to do is a quick and easy firmware update.There is a built in E-Manual that will show how.It's very easy."

By Far An Awesome TV

PostedJune 19, 2011

I would recommend this to a friend!

PostedJune 19, 2011

"I don't know why some others gave this TV only four stars for performance since this new TV out performes my other HDTV's I had in the past that cost much, much more. I give it five for an excelent performance. I also would not say it is an entry level TV just because of the price it out performes many other HDTV's I have seen still in stores today that have four digit price tags (not counting the cents digits). It also has many more options than the other ones I have owned in the high price range and again in some still selling today. The only thing I can say that I would have liked to see in this Tv is four HDMI connections. Also The 3D is well all I can say about that is WOW! and the glasses are far better now than they ever were and you can even view from farther angles I even tried lying sideways and I was able to still enjoy the 3D and they came two pair with the TV for free. I think the audio is also much better than many other TV's even ones much bigger than this one but if you want real theater sound you will have to connect it to the proper audio system. In conclusion I am extreemly happy with my purchase and plan on sticking with Samsung because I don't think any one else can offer such excelence for the price period."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, excelent performance

Cons: only 3 hdmi connections hence 4 stars for features

The menu of this years model is much more pleasing to the eye and matches the great new design of the TV.
Full of user adjustable options for picture along with preset picture modes make this TV great for experts and beginners alike. 3D functionality is great for Gaming and movies alike. One of the most affordable 3D TV's on the market with a fantastic 3D Picture. Would recommend Highly."

Returned it to the store and exchanged it for the same model. Worked beautifully for 6 months. Woke up yesterday, turned on the TV only to hear that same clicking noise. That was TV number 2.
