Great television
 
Review Date: July 24, 2010
Reviewer: robtk14,
This is an amazing TV. My first LED-TV and the picture quality seems perfect. Great colors and blacks are, well, black. Haven't gotten around to test with top quality video games, but everything looks superb so far. The TV is also extremely thin and light.

The only complaint I would have about it is that there is no S-video input. I'm not going to dock the TV for it's sound because you don't buy a TV for the sound quality, you buy a TV for the picture. It kills me when people will criticize it simply because the TV speakers don't sound like surround sound, get real.

I have it hooked up to my PC (HDMI to DVI cable) with the audio going from my PC to external speakers I have for watching movies from my PC. I still can't figure out how to get sound from my PC to play on the TV speakers because the TV separates sound/video source DVI/3.5mm stereo input from the HDMI input (from what I can tell so far). That's why it may be smarter to go with just a straight up DVI cable if you want to play the sound from your PC to the TV speakers. One of these days I'll invest in surround speakers and receiver to make the set up easier to manage.
The best

Love this TV. Very slim, great picture, very smart technology. Gorgeous design. Just bought a second one for my bedroom. Would not buy any other TV.
Good TV - Samsung was not ready to support
 
Review Date: April 3, 2010
Reviewer: John Robert Hight, St Petersburg, FL United States
We purchased this TV as soon as the 2010 models were available.

The Amazon purchasing experience was what we have come to expect: easy, with delivery as expected.

We had problems out of the box that were not related to the TV itself, but rather related to our cable provider, Brighthouse Networks. In attempting to resolve the issue, I first called Samsung on about March 11, 2010. The Samsung folks were unable to identify the model based upon the information I gave them from the label on the back of the TV. Finally, I was told that Samsung representatives had not yet been provided with any information on the new 2010 models. They were unable to help me at all. I was told that someone would call me back before the end of the month (Remember, this was March 11, so Samsung was are promising to call be back within three weeks!). I find it strange indeed that Samsung would begin delivery of products they are not prepared to support.

That said, the problem was eventually diagnosed by Brighthouse and was related to their system not to the TV itself. The TV has a fantastic, almost unbelievable picture. Other than the fact that the speakers are marginal, I have not discovered anything I do not like about the TV. I'll have to hook it up to play through my receiver, but given the thickness of the TV and the limited space for speakers within the unit itself, it's hard to believe the sound is as good as it is.

This is a great product. Hopefully in future years Samsung with have the sense not to sell new products before they are ready to support them.
Perfect TV except for Media Player

I've had the TV for a few weeks now and love the picture. Its crisp with the right amount of saturation and amazingly lit. However, I am not satisfied with the media player feature. It only sees a very limited type of video files (none from iTunes) and is not compatible with apple computers which I exclusively use.
Media Player does not support CJK Characters

Reviewer: Kelvin,
This product is great so far. Excellent colors, super thin and great price.

My only gripe for the less than satisfactory media player - when I try to play mp3 or media files that have any character other than a ASCII character, say Chinese character, the name of the songs/videos does not display properly but appear as squares.
