Don't let someone tell you that you will get as good a picture from a comparable $800 big-box special because you won't! Much of what needs to be said has already been said so I will only reinforce the stunning picture quality of this tv. Most people will never see HD at its full potential, be it blu-ray, the airwaves, cable or the dish. You will never look at a picture and think the tv is a window unless you're connected directly to the source, digital compression is the culprit. Anyone that thinks otherwise either needs an eye exam or seriously has not seen true hd, sorry, the FCC, rules of the airwaves and greed will always hold the quality back. With that being said, out of the box this tv looks about as close as you're going to get. Over the air signal is probably the least compressed followed by either blu-ray or cable (How do you think the dish people get so many channels on their birds anyway? Heavy compression - No, I am not slamming the dish, just stating a fact)
To show how good the picture is out of the box, very little needs to be changed to achieve full professional calibration. Even watching dvds this tv has a way of making them look clear as glass. I recommend NOT using an upconverting dvd player/HDMI as it passes on digital compression, if you use Component instead, the tv is expecting a certain amount of analog noise, the input filters do their job and it looks fantastic. Want proof? Watch the intro to Stargate SG-1, say the last season, the Antarctic scene is very full of digital noise if you use the HDMI input, try it again with Component, it's almost speckle free. Same series, any episode, when they're in the Colonel's office sitting, the door is usually open at a 45 degree angle. HDMI, very speckled, Component is almost perfect. The input filter doesn't appear to cut down the resolution of the image, it just handles digital noise differently.
Cons - I bought this tv because of the bad reviews on the LED series sets. The complaints that the menus were slow as if they had to 'load' each option and that certain functions were greyed out/inaccessible. Well, much to my disappointment I downloaded a setup guide from tweaktv and started plugging away on this tv. Calibrating this set according to the guide is no substitute for a professional but based on modern manufacturing techniques, you can come pretty damn close as every unit is close to identical! The same problems that plague the LED series exist here as well. The menus are so slow to pop up sometimes you wonder how well the remote reception is working as it is quite nonresponsive. Certain items were greyed out/inaccessible much like the review of the LED series. I have asked around how to overcome this issue and no-one knows, even Samsung is unable to provide a useful answer. To change video sources, much like the LED series you have to hit several buttons. I don't remember my 71 series being this difficult because it wasn't.
Don't let my Cons be a deterrent to purchasing this tv or even the LED series, how often do you go into the menus or switch video sources? It's only a minor annoyance on an otherwise great tv.
It should be noted they released a firmware update on Nov 9th, I am in the process of downloading it now on my slow connection, what it addresses is to be seen, I didn't see any readme notes prior to downloading.

I've owned this TV for around six weeks... Could not be happier with it. The picture quality is perfect pretty much out of the box, although there are a few preset video/audio types which fine tune it based upon what you're watching (e.g. sport, vs movie).
I use the DLNA features extensively, streaming movies from my Mac to the TV. I use the wired Ethernet port built in, however there is a wireless option which I have not tried. It's perfectly happy streaming 1080p video over DLNA and the interface to manage the data isn't horrible either.
I paired it with a Samsung HD-BD3252 HT system, which rounds out the setup pretty nicely. The audio from the TV as default is pretty good, but the HT addition really sets it apart.

I am writing this review as a former ln46a650 with red touch of color owner. The quality of that set is tremendous but its small size and red color got annoying after a while. I sold the other one and picked up this bad boy for about $1760 last month and wanted to give it some time before writing a review. The piano black finish with the barely noticeable gray at the bottom looks excellent and high class. The touch of color is no longer a distraction. The 240 hz is very smooth and makes all movies including older movies like those from the 50s and 60s on HD channels look very crisp. The blacks are deep and you can tell the contrast ratio is top notch. 1080i uverse looks great. The preloaded art content really shows off the quality of the TV when displaying quality content. You can wow your sophisticated friends with this one. There are about 7-8 impressionist paintings and you should really check out the Manet in a boat one. I don't use any of the widgets as they are laggy and kinda useless. If you are looking for an LCD that has all the features and you wont have to upgrade for a very long time, I'd grab this one with a promo code. The USB input is a nice feature too. The only drawback is I wish they made a 55 inch version of this or bigger. I use a 5.1 yamaha surround system so I cant comment on the audio quality, but who buys an LCD for the sound anyway??

After watching the ads/prices for months and months, I finaly made the plunge for our first big screen HD. We're overwelmed with the quality of the picture of this set, and can't be happier (so far...it's only been a couple of weeks)!
Went through a couple of cable box changes (box problem, not TV), and cable connection changes, we have an unbelievable picture, without any fine tweeking yet. Don't want to touch any of the fine adjustments yet. There are more features on this set that we haven't even found.
Amozon shipping was quick; we were contacted within days to set up delivery date. I will say it was good I was home to help driver carry in and place TV. After that, I was on my own to make connections.
So far, we're very happy with the sharpness of the picture, and the quality and look of the set.
