The Good:Once calibrated, amazing picture quality. Huge amount of features and incredible slimness

The Bad:Expensive?

Bought this TV a few weeks ago and I think it has amazing picture quality which I would put up there with the Pioneer plasmas. Can't go wrong with this TV!

The Good:thin,stylish, lots of features, great mounting system

The Bad:wireless software.

This is actually my second one the first one stopped working after a week.after the unit was mounted the screen just went white. i googled the problem and it has happened before with overseas units.
samsung replaced the TV without question.
Tv still rates high with me
