5.0 out of 5 stars believe the hype, March 22, 2012
By Eugene Yoon "randomly geek"
smart tv
I just received my TV, set it up and tested it out. First of all, installation was a breeze, camera and mic work beautifully as do the motion controls.
More importantly, the image is perfect. I don't know what these other reviewers are going on about but screen uniformity is phenomenal and on par with any of the other LED LCD tvs I've seen. Blacks are deep and inky and with the backlighting on the factory default, I saw no evidence of flashlighting or light creep.
3D works like a charm. Set the PS3 to recognize the new screen and the new 3D glasses pair with the TV quickly and easily and don't mind at all if I look away from the screen. Tested out Transformers 3D (don't laugh, I have 6 year old son and he loves them) and the image was crisp, detailed with very little artifacting or crosstalk. I fired up wipeout HD 3D and that performed beautifully as well.
For me, it was between this TV and the new Panasonic line up. While I agree that the plasmas handle blacks better than LCD screens, I prefered the image crispness of an LED LCD panel. I am not disappointed and more than happy with the smart tv.
5.0 out of 5 stars Reset Problem Solved! Great TV!!!, April 13, 2012
By Pen Name

I was having the same problem as some of the other reviewers here, i.e. my tv would shut down and turn back on every few minutes... However, after paying careful attention, I finally solved this annoying problem...
IF YOU HAVE TVMobli INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER, REMOVE IT!!!
Even if you are NOT even running it, it will cause your tv to power off (crash)!
After completely removing it from my Mac, it's working perfectly ( whew!)
I really love this set. I would give it 4.5 stars as the 3D glasses do flicker somewhat as compare to my LG which uses polarized glasses.
Overall, I love this set... Even my tech-hating wife loves this set. Kudos Samsung!
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Sharp Picture, Super Bright Screen., April 17, 2012By Venkata S. Pasumarthy "Subhash" (CA, USA)

I was forced to replace my 9 year old Samsung DLP TV that I bought for $5400 in 2003. I was more looking for OLED TVs to be available for replacement of my old TV.
We had no issues with the DLP TV until its motherboard gave up.
This forced us to look for a new TV. Samsung smart tv series Television was the most appealing for its bright picture and superior contrast. More than the
Gesture recognition or Internet enabled smart TV the picture appealed to me particularly. Over the Air HD TV broadcasts are stunningly beautiful. You got to
see to believe how beautiful the resolution can be. Its a delight to watch any TV program mes on this Television set. You cant go wrong. I highly recommend this TV.
I purchased 5 year warranty offered by Square trade to protect the investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an amazing tv! March 20, 2012 By J. Chace
smart tv
The tv got delivered yesterday and is excellent. The picture quality is fantastic once you make some adjustments in the picture setup menu. For some reason
Samsung ships their TVs with settings that have the backlight and contrast maxed out so once you readjust some the picture is amazing.
I replaced an older 46" Samsung with a large bezel and this fits in the same space and yet has the much larger screen. The way the picture comes right to the
edge is great and really adds to the experience.
On black screens the edge lighting does not seem to be a problem at all, you can see the lighting is slightly non-uniform but that is a black screen with the lights off
in the room, under normal watching it is perfect.
When I ordered the scheduled delivery times offered on the order page were for Tuesday the 20th but I opted for the stardard delivery and the company called me
offering delivery as early as the 17th The delivery service was very good, when they arrived the unpacked and setup the tv for me and made sure it was working
properly before leaving.
5.0 out of 5 stars simply amazing, May 16, 2012 By bbilt

I upgraded from a samsung un55d6000 LED tv...which I found to already have a stunning picture.
I purchased the new smart tv series and unboxed it. very nice. placed it on the wall using the ultra slim mounts...and off i went. For starters, I got a good
deal on the TV and was just going to try it and turn around and sell it. But after using it I said No way. I'm keeping it. It's just too freaking amazing.
Let's start with the picture. I can't say enough about how great my picture is...using my basic tv outdoor antenna. its truly incredible. after a month i still stare at it in
amazement. pure joy. and those who complain "on occasion" about the bleeding or whatever. who cares. its during a rare blacked out commercial. get over it.
has no issue when watching tv. the picture is stunning.
Now on to the small bezel. Well I thought this would be cool but a gimmick. wrong. simply amazing. its all picture...you are looking at. and from a sideview its super thin.
crazy. The thin bezel and lighted LED "samsung" at the bottom is very classy. it says expensive. i buy a tv as a piece of furniture just as much as something to watch.
beautiful in every way.
on to the features: voice control. i don't use it much. i sit too far away to use it by the tv microphone, and don't really use the voice control remote (tv comes with
2 remotes). so i don't really use it. Gestures: cool but doesn't work for me b/c my room is dark. only works in very lighted situations.
and even in the middle of day, my room isn't lighted enough. cool feature, and it does work, but i don't really use it much.
on the remotes: the touchpad type remote with voice control i don't care for much. i like the standard remote like with the other lesser tv's...and until i get the new
keyboard remote then i will stick with this.
netflix, vudu etc.. works perfect. no issues.
web browser: works good but hope they have the ability to make text bigger when you do searches. (font size increase??) otherwise you stand close to the tv to read
browser text. surely they thought of how to do it, but i haven't figured it out.
anynet+. works amazingly well with my panasonic bd320 bluray/3d player. plug and play. can use my one remote for that bluray player.
tv speakers: they stink. seriously. big deal. love the thin size and bezel. i bought an klipsch energy powerbar elite with 10" sub. amazing sound. done.
dual core processor: works great. no lag. no issues on smart tv apps etc like the older 2011 models.
fitness apps. nice addition. especially since its free on samsung tv's.
3D picture. really nice. i have to say. even avatar bluray no in 3d was amazing picture/colors.
allshare. works great. no issues.
dual view with samsung phone/tablet. works perfect. i use it on my tablet on my patio...to watch tv. no issues.
overall I think this Tv,PICTURE, bezel, microdimming... are truly stunning. my only complaint is web browsing (need larger text size), and remotes aren't perfect.
the new keyboard remote will help.
so nice to look at. its a keeper.

After having this TV for about two weeks now all I can say is that I'm very pleased. The clouding is almost non existent except in the darkest of scenes and the
flashlighting in the corners is not present at all on my tv. The voice command function technology isn't quite there yet. I set it up and while watching a movie it turned
on by itself from what
I can only imagine someone said something on the tv that sounded close to one of the commands. The motion control on the tv is too unreliable to be used
frequently, plus it's tiring on the arms.
But... I didn't buy this tv for those functions. I bought this tv for the great picture and thin bezel. The camera on top of the TV is actually pretty good when using skype
or when the GF wants to mirror herself on one of her workout programs.
I wouldn't think twice about recommending this tv to anyone looking for the top of the line 2012 flagship model from Samsung. Maybe I got lucky by not having the
more common problems other owners of this set have. Either way, this tv is fantastic.
5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, May 3, 2012
By Mike I simply just love this Television.
I bought it when it first came out. It replaced a Sony XBR1 that was purchased a long long time ago. It's not something i anticipate purchasing frequently (tv's)
so i splurged a bit.
I love their design. Tv looks good no matter where i put it. Hung it on the wall just a week or so ago. I am not sure if it's the color of the wall or what.. Tv just pops !!
The picture was soo good it almost looked fake to a point. 4-5 weeks of watching it and you kind of get used to it.
3D is is amazing.. I really do not have anything to compare to but, It is well above what i expected.
Voice/Motion commands are not set up. I will, just not a priority right now.
4-year old says people live inside our tv. Loves SKYPE, something i did not think would be a hit.
Tv is amazing, i would reccomend to anyone in the market for one. And it looks good off.

Just received my tv today and not noticed any of the complaints the other reviewer is having. The picture quality in HD and 3D is very good standard definition
is just standard it is not much any tv can do for low quality signal.
The voice and gesture controls were easy to setup and they work just fine. I have not had time to get into calibrating the color and other settings.
I gave the tv five stars because it was everything I thought it would be. I don't think any tv will be perfect, but is close.

My husband came home with this huge box, I thought he was nuts for buying it but after having it for a month, I have to say you can really see every detail.
Like pores on peoples faces, and if they are wearing to much makeup. It's great. I love how it's interactive. I love it now!
