      Wow this is visual Nirvana. I use my beautiful Samsung TV mostly to watch movies on my surround sound system. The picture quality is wonderful. I use Wiselink to watch movies I download and the function is seamless and worry-free. show picture clarity I have never seen before in a television. The Blue lighting blends perfectly with the white decor I have. This product has been worth every penny paid and then some....Wow,...again

        Home theater setup; built-in sound is weak of course. Motion in 120hz is handled without noticeable distortion. Very effective and adjustable brightness that overcomes ambient light without being blinding in dim light. Black is great and wonderfully true color.

        Service and delivery comments:

        Very prompt delivery, with convenient scheduling. Driver helped carry to room location.

        The picture is really awesome. Can't say enough about it, even off angle isn't that bad. I have it hooked up to my home theatre system, so the sound really doesn't make a difference to me. Set up wasn't bad. There are plenty of connections and options, so that shouldn't be a problem for most people. Got it at a great price at Abt. They weren't the lowest price, but they matched the price that I had found cheaper at another retailer. [...] No problems, no hassles.
