Fine picture but needs more inputs

I wish I would have paid more attention to the rear panel inputs before I purchased this TV. It only has 1 set of RCA jacks for video/audio input, so if you have more than 1 device that uses RCA jacks, you cannot use it.
I assumed it would have 3-4 sets if inputs like my 6 year old plasma has......
It has a fantastic picture, and I love the remote control and overall ease of use. The owners manual is too vague.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: needs more basic inputs
I would recommend this to a friend!

Still new, but I like it

I've only had this TV for a little while so far, but after adjusting to calibrated settings I found online, the picture is amazing.
My only complaint would be the hideous X-style "chrome" stand (a bright silver stand with a black TV?) , along with some minor annoyances about the menus system and the Smart interface. But none of those make me regret getting this TV. Kind of wishing I'd gotten the 8000, but all things considered, I'm loving this TV.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: hideous stand
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: Realistic color

Super Fast Start Up of an insanely Life-Like Picture! Luv it!

This is my first Smart T.V. I researched for a solid month before purchasing this t.v. Through research, I discovered the negative hype about plasma t.v.'s basically stems from uneducated rumors or competitor ploys to squash this superior product. I couldn't believe the quality of picture, ease of set up and control of features on this product. I love it and highly recommend it! Don't forget, this t.v. can upgrade to future technologies so you won't have to buy a new t.v. every couple of years.
3D TV's are just becoming popular and many of them do not have a good picture. This model outshines most and may be the best. Very pleased
Pros: Realistic color

Great TV at a great price!

Bought the 51" TV on clearance at Best Buy a little over a week ago. Good picture out of the box and great picture after 5 minutes of calibration. Hooked up to internet without a hitch. Apps lag a bit when loading but not annoyingly slow. Speakers are fine for a bedroom but would be inadequate for a living or family room. Was originally looking a the Panasonic ST series but after reading reviews for a few days found them both to be comparable. Both had excellent reviews on picture quality, but the Samsung had a better Smart TV interface and better Apps. And, with the Samsung $100-200 less, it was a no-brainer.
