Love the wireless network features. Can connect to my home PC to watch movies stored on it. Has Netflix and Hulu Plus built in. Awesome picture quality.
Great television a little light bleeding in the corners when a letter box view is used, and the sound quality from built in speakers is horrible like all flat screens. But for the price a overall great television.
Our family is very satisfied with this product, the quality and functions of this newest generation of TV is superb, the ease of image and audio adjustments is simple adding to the viewing experience. While installing this unit with a flush wall mount is simple, due to it's light weight and ease of handeling with two people, it also makes for a classy presentation in its simplistic design. The multiple intergrated features in this product can make this TV an asset in any household with contempoary communication needs. Well Done Samsung.!!!
the features are well deisgned. Accesing internet sites is easy and works very well.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, access internet
I would recommend this to a friend!

Couple of issues

I have owned this television for just over a week and now and have noticed a couple of annoying things about it, which I hope they can fix at some point soon.
1. I have seen other complaints about this and wonder why it is not fixed yet. The blackout on the TV while viewing Netflix movies. The screen goes black, but the audio remains. Additionally, the jitter that occurs occasionally. Surely an update will eventually fix this.
2. Here is a really annoying part for me as someone knowledgable about software and application development. Never ever force application features on someone and not give them the option to remove it. I am referring to the recommended applications on SmartHUB. ESPN ScoreCard constantly popping up and taking screen realty away when I have not told it to do so. The lack of an option to remove such apps does not fair well with me. Just because Samsung or whoever is responsible for the SmartHUB and apps wants to push such an item does not mean I have to use it. STOP FORCING IT PLEASE! Another one is the 3d application...my TV cannot run 3d so why is it installed at all. ALLOW USERS TO REMOVE THESE APPS PLEASE! If this is considered advertising...I did pay the price I did for the TV for advertisement.
I know Samsung has some really good developers...why these issues are such and, as in number 1, not fixed is beyond me.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, lack of user control
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best TV Ever

From the picture quality to the built in technology, this TV is awesome. The image is so clear and sharp, and so much better than a former LCD screen that there really is no comparison.
The network connectivity, including Netflix streaming, makes it a real winner. I stream media from a PC (using Mezzmo) with no issues. I recently plugged an external hard drive into a USB connection and the movies on the disk were immediately available for playback.
All in all, an awesome piece of technology that is more than a TV.
A great TV for those looking for the all-in-one solution

I must say that I have been immensely impressed with this TV. The ability to access services like Vudu, Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc. have essentially made my existing investments (XBOX 360) obsolete in terms of providing added value to my home media center. In addition, its ability to let me watch movies that I have ripped (I own them) onto my Home Theater PC has made this a perfect all-in-one device. My only complaint in this area is that it lacks the ability to play WMV files and so I'm having to convert all my media to MP4. I also know that this next request is probably not doable either, but the ability to access my Zune Pass and ESPN3 would be nice as well (but those are both Microsoft deals right now).
As for the quality, I generally enjoy the TV, there is very little glare from lighting behind me. But, I have not yet figured out the motion smoothing features because it seems very jumpy when displaying movies (and I have ruled out the movies themselves as they play well on other devices).
All-in-all, I am happy I made this purchase. The size is perfect, the quality is perfect, the fact that it doesn't heat up the entire room is great!
