I love this TV for its picture, Smart TV features and value. I have two major cons about it.
One being that there is no Amazon Streaming App for it. There are tons of forums on the web where folks are shocked its not available and no hints as to why not. There was one thread that said Amazon will not be on any 2011 Samsung Products... but no reason why. This is ridiculous and I sincerely hope Amazon and Samsung work out their issues. In the content wars of the last decades the losers are always the consumers and this is another prime reason why.
The second gripe is that you have to adjust your picture settings for each input. This should be blanketed for all the inputs so you don't have to adjust the color, picture, sharpness etc... on each and every input you have. This took so much time to setup for each input I own.
Other than that, I am glad I bought it and would not trade it in for anything else. If I don't see an Amazon App for the TV in the next few months I will probably purchase a Roku Device so I can get Netfilx and Amazon Streaming on the same device. This means I will not be using Samsung's app interface which is probably what they should try and avoid by making the most popular apps available to their devices.
Cons: picture adjusting by every input is annoying., no amazon app.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung Smart TV 6000

Set up is very easy. Excellent picture quality and clarity. The design is sleek and lightweight. This TV is more like a "machine," with PC capabilities I'm still figuring out how to use.
My only complaint is with the manual. It greatly lacks information and instruction, and the onscreen "E-Manual" could go into more detail as well. Are accessories available? I have no idea. Does my Model have PC capabilities or not? I'm not sure now because of the wording, and it was the main reason for the purchase of the 6000 model.
Sometimes I don't want to reach for my Notebook or sit at my Desktop and would prefer to sit with a cup of coffee and a good manual, but this is my only complaint.
I love this TV so far and will certainly update this review after I learn more about it.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, set-up and installation., web multimedia, samsung applications
Cons: manual poorly written and lacks much needed info
I would recommend this to a friend!

My wife and I love the Samsung 46" LED TV, love the quality of the picture, the ease of installation, and with the addition of the Sound Board we can hear so much better. We have owned it only about a month but thus far it is excellent.
The TV was very easy to set up and connect components to. The Blu ray set itself up, almost. The home theater system sounds great with this TV. We love it and is was perfect for our home theater room. We have an older Samsung 19" that I bought in the early 80's and it is still working fine, I use it in my workshop.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, the air search added 19 channels we never got
