I purchased this TV for ,499 from one of the major retail electronics stores about 3 weeks ago and so far I couldn’t be happier. I’m loving this TV. I have other LCD TV’s in the house and the Samsung outshines them all as far as picture quality is concerned. I have it hooked up to my FIOS set top box and Blu-Ray player via HDMI and the picture is stunning! The blacks are deep and the colors are vibrant and accurate. I haven’t even played with the picture controls or calibrated it yet. But so far it looks great right out of the box. One thing worth mentioning is that when you have the 120hz enabled movies tend to look like they were shot with a digital video camera. They lose their film-like look. Sort of the way a soap opera looks. But if you disable this feature then movies will look more film like. Some people like the way movies look with the 120hz enabled. I personally like the look of film so I keep it disabled. I only enable it when I’m watching a fast moving event such as a soccer game etc. Another thing I’d like to point out is that the screen on this TV is shiney. It does not have a matte finish. I personally love the way the glass screen looks. I feel it makes the picture look clearer. I have 3 other LCD TV’s all with matte screens and they don’t look nearly as good. The same goes for my laptops. I have a laptop with a matte display and one with a glass/shiney display and the shiney display looks so much clearer. However, with that said, I can see where some people may not like the glass finish if they have bright windows sitting directly behind the TV. My windows are on the side so I don’t have that problem. Overall I couldn’t be happier and am so glad I decided to go with a Samsung TV. I orignally was going to get a Vizio but after comparing the picture qaulity between the 2 TV’s the Samsung was a no-brainer. I don’t see how anyone couldn’t be happy with this set?
