This picture is amazing. I purchased both a Samsung and a Sony home theater to test it with at home, and the Samsung home theater gave a much better picture. The 2D-3D up-convert gives depth to all my old DVDs as well, including black and white shows from the 40s/50s. Wife talked me into a 60" and I couldn't be happier (do the math (area=length x width), 60” is 23% larger than a 55") Super crisp, depth, colors - it's like seeing all my movies over again for the first time. I bought 3 movies with 3D to try, and I was not impressed. The 3D works okay, but it is hardly worth the hassle of wearing the funky glasses (I do plan to buy "Avatar" when it comes out in 3D to give it a last try). You get a few moments of good 3D, but the Blu-ray is just about as good without glasses. Overall this is an excellent TV that I would recommend to anyone.
I have been a lifelong, loyal $%&* customer, until I experienced this set from Samsung. The television is literally 1" thin and the picture is incredible. While it is a 3D television (with glasses), watching the set in normal mode is akin to watching a live play unfolding in front of you. The image quality and detail is the best I have ever experienced. Couple this with on-board WI-Fi and you are only limited by your imagination. Since purchasing this set, I have purchased two (2) more Samsung's, a 40" LED and a 32" LED. I am now a lifelong, loyal Samsung customer.
This is something you gotta have in your livingroom, Too bad you need an enourmous livingroom then to view the right angle vs size.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Too big
I would recommend this to a friend!

Don't Let The Critics Deter You

I was about to purchase an 8000 series due to the color uniformity issues I heard about in reviews, and I'm glad I saved $1000 and didn't do so. There definitely are a few uniformity issues, even with microdimming, but you primarily see that when you have a band of gray going across the screen. For instance, when Netflix is loading you have gray bars and you can see it but you have to ask, how often do movies use all gray? Blacks are fine, and can be tweaked to a deeper level. I would highly recommend this tv as the only LED comparable was the Sony XBR which is much more expensive.
