Other than the clunky Smart Hub interface this TV is perfect for our use case. Movies and the nightly news.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Networking is awsome.
Missing the full keyboard feature was a little disappointing, but after finding the Samsung remote app it is not a problem at all, this app is so great, real thanks to Samsung, very thoughtful.

Limited Smart TV Support
on April 29, 2012
Posted by: Superjeef19
While reviews talking about picture quality and tv design are correct, this tv can not be recommended over alternative Samsung tvs because it is regularly is on of a small handful of tvs that are not compatible with the most useful of apps. One example is MLB.tv. This app worked last year, but what was described as a server upgrade error at the start of the preseason turned into the need for an app update "targeted for the before opening day." Weeks in there has been an update for almost all tvs except this one!!
A second app that doesn't work is the HBO GO app. This is something that I was highly anticipating using and this tv is one of only a few that cannot support this app.
For the premium in price paid for this tv (it was their second highest tier of plasma when it was released) I'm shocked that they do no support it with their best apps. The reason you buy a tv like this is to take advantage of this integrated functions and avoid the purchase of a roku or similar device.
Until Samsung figures out how to support all of their tvs and not arbitrarily leave a handful out, this tv cannot be recommended.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, poor support for smart tv apps, no mlb.tv support, no hbo go support
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Powerful Plasma Set!

Still learning how to operate all the many features. Extremely clear picture. The quality of the sound when in regular TV mode is disappointing, but it may be something that needs to be adjusted or may be because the speakers are not in the front of the set.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: speaker location
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've owned this tv for nine months. I'm very pleased with it's service and picture quality. There have been no performance issues so far. It would be great if this tv proves as durable as the ones made in the USA 20-30 years ago!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Suffers from motion blur
on October 22, 2012
Posted by: Hurley
from Cincinnati
Expertise:Intermediate
TV from day one suffered from motion blur during sports ~ specifically when the image is panning, all detail and precision from the image is lost. When watching normal daytime TV, the more static type imagery is bright and detailed.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good, but could be better.
on November 7, 2012
Posted by: PupDoc
TV looks very nice and the picture is nice as well. There is no Amazon Video app which hurts the value of the SMART TV. The SMART TV can be clumsy and very slow to maneuver through. The remote locks up often when using the SMART TV too.
Pros: Realistic color
Cons: weak selection of on-line apps, smart tv is only ok
