So far, I am very impressed with this TV. My on complaint is the base stand, which seems poorly constructed for the TV's weight & size.
Pros: Inexpensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Ridiculously flimsy single post stand base. The TV is angled backward 10 degrees, un-level side to side and the base is not lined up with the TV. The TV wobbles just walking by let alone touch it. Push the power button on the bottom and the TV rocks side to side for a few minutes. I'll need to buy an after market stand that bolts to the wall mounts or mount it on the wall. Hard to believe you'd provide a single post stand for a 55" TV. Really disappointing. (Yes the stand is mounted correctly!)
Good remote, settings and menus. Struggling with display settings to find the right tones and brightness. Factory settings need help. Vivid is awful. Can find many suggestions on the internet by third parties but haven't found one I like much yet. Samsung has no calibration suggestions other than factor settings.
Needs more analog connections on the back. Had to buy an optical audio converter to plug into an older stereo. Wifi for apps is very slow. Much improved performance using a Google Chromecast. Very limited use with a wireless keyboard. Not impressed with the "smart tv," features.
Picture quality is decent but should be better when I can find the right settings. Brightness is good. Blue Ray plays very nicely on this TV. Sound quality is about all you might expect from a flat panel TV. Not so good.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, good remote layout
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, terrible single post base stand
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome television! Needs more HDMI connections an difficult to connect new Samsung HW-HM45C sound bar and subwoofer that was purchased with TV. Very satisfied otherwise.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: only 2 hdmi connections
I would recommend this to a friend!

I would highly recommend this T.V. set. Like I said, Great Picture ,Great Value !!!!!!
Just got this model and discovered shockingly bad sound. I have a Samsung 32 inch that is great and so bought this larger model thinking I would get the same quality. Not so. The picture seems fine, although my viewing has been limited, but the sound is absolutely terrible. I am aware that the flat screen cabinet makes it difficult to put in very large speakers, but if a quality speaker can be put in a 32 inch, then why not in a 55 inch? I am going to have to spend a couple of hundred dollars to get this solved. Be prepared to do the same if you buy this TV.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, terrible sound quality.
