"As nice as this tv is with all of the features that it has. It's stand is pretty bad. The tv wobbles. So far, everything else about this tv is geat. Hd and 3d both look amazing. The sound is also good. Which actually is better than most tvs of this type. Soundbar is not necessary.

Have only started playing with the web features. There's alot of content. I've not taken away a star for the stand because unless your going to be bouncing around the tv it will not matter. I'm just amazed that as gorgeous as this tv is in both appearance and visuals. It's stand is quite questionable. Guess they had to skimp somewhere.

All in all though, best tv I've ever owned."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, great hd, great 3d

Cons: tv stand

"My family loves this TV. The HD picture is awesome. Setup takes a little while because of the software upgrades, but with the dual-core processor, this machine responds fast.

I'm not sure I like the touch remote and we don't have any periperals that will work with the IR blaster. Our blu-ray player is our PS3 and we can't use the universal remote with the PS3.

I'm looking forward to the evolution upgrade when it becomes available. Samsung has made a great product with this TV. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a high end picture."

We haven't experienced and digital pixilation nor ghost or halo effects on this set. Giving it 4 stars only due to the fact it is still a new set. But this isnt our first set, this one is Great so far."

Plasma's the way to go.

PostedJanuary 17, 2013

I would recommend this to a friend!

PostedJanuary 17, 2013

"After reviewing LEDs, LCDs and plama TVs, it was clear that Plasma was the way to go. The problem was that there are very few makes of Plama anymore. Between Panasonic and Samsung, I felt like I was getting more for less. It's been a month and Love it so far.

A couple of things that I would've liked.
1. The HDMI ports need a 270 degree adaptor, not a 90 degree. Found out by trial and error.
2. Calibration is a pain. No, the default home setup doesn't fit my needs or my room. Found out in the FAQs that if you see a ghost on the picture, try using a component cable. Worked, but it took me a month to figure this out. for calibration purposes, it would help if there's a static image on the screen while you are changing the settings."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Realistic color

Cons: calibration

SMART TV is not so smart

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedOctober 2, 2012

"One of the reasons I purchased this TV was its ability to access the internet. MY disappointment is with the fact that it uses an older version of FLASH (10.3). NFL Sunday Ticket needs FLASH 11.2. I was told to monitor the website for updates to the firmware. I suspect that it won't be available until after the football season is over! I would not recommend getting a SMART TV until it is" FULLY capable"."

Samsung "smart tv" falls short of expectations

PostedMarch 5, 2013

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedMarch 5, 2013

"I have had this TV for about 6 months and have been extremely disapointed with it's performance. As for "regular TV" performance such as picture quality, sound, etc it is ok. However, if that is what you care about you can get a much better tv for the money. The only reason to pay a premium for this TV is for the "smart" internet connectivity. In this category the Samsung falls short compared to competative products. If this tv is unable to connect to samsung the web/internet interface they call smart hub is completely disabled. Even when it does work it is extremely slow and buggy. They pre-populate their choice of apps that you can't delete. If you are in the market for a regular tv, save your money. If you want a truely smart tv look elsewhere."

Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, smart hub is slow and unreliable

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
