When I purchased the 55" television, I was expecting just a television. But this connects perfectly to the internet, set up was extremely easy and thorough. I didn't expect it to stream videos, Youtube, Netflix, and more with such a barely any load time.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, amazing refresh rate

Incredible TV at any price

I just bought this yesterday but I've been researching it and looking at it for quite a while now. I've looked at other TVs but just kept coming back to this and really wanted to find a way to validate getting it to replace my aging 720P Plasma. Black Friday came rolling around and several places had this on sale for a huge amount off the regular price all weekend. I simply couldn't resist any longer.
First, getting it home and out of the box. I don't have a truck or van so had to have it delivered. Getting it out of the box and putting the stand on was very simple. I put it on a side table and basically yanked the HDMI cable out of my old TV to plug into this to see how it looked. I knew it looked good in the stores and really wanted it there, but there is nothing that compares to seeing it in your own home. After about 10 seconds of watching to see what it would look like I got a grin on my face that probably didn't go away for an hour. In it's default setting, it was a little heavy on the red and a small amount too bright. I dropped the back light brightness from 14 to 10, and dropped the color saturation from 58 to 50, then changed the picture from standard to natural, and that's all I had to do. Colors are vibrant but not overstated. Skin tone is natural, and picture looks absolutely beautiful. I could describe the picture to you all I want but there is simply no way to fully comprehend how good this set looks. Perhaps the closest you might come is comparing a color picture in a newspaper to one on high gloss photo paper.
One of the things that makes this set so nice is the extremely high contrast ratio. Now, some stores you go to these days, they will tell you contrast ratio doesn't matter (the ratio between the lightest light, and darkest dark). Well, that's not exactly true. If you get a low end LCD TV that has a contrast ratio of 4000 to 1, it's not going to be near as nice a picture that has a contrast ratio of 50,000 to one, and a 100,000 to one ratio is even better. Depending on your needs, any of those may be acceptable, but when you get into the 4 MILLION to 1 contrast ratio of this TV, you're entering a totally different game. The difference between 4 million to 1 or 5 million to 1 is most likely never going to be even slightly distinguishable for most people, even most experts, but each time you add a zero to the end of that number, you enter a new area in picture quality, and you can easily notice it. The 4 million to 1 contrast ratio of this TV basically means the TV can display the darkest of darks, and the lightest of lights, all in the same scene, and have a smooth graduation from one to the other without any haloing effects. That's one of the things that bugged me about my old plasma but this TV is absolutely perfect! This is also what gives your picture such an incredibly real quality and makes the people look like they could literally crawl out of the TV and into your living room.
Sound - I can't comment on this since I run everything thru a sound system, but when I did try the volume control it has the coolest volume on screen display I've ever seen. It's not that old style bar running across the bottom that looks like it's from a TV from 20 years ago (slightly exagerated but you understand). It's a circular style with the circle getting smaller the lower you turn the volume. As you look thru the menu and other features, it's easy to notice it's lots of the little details like this that really make this TV special... as if the picture wasn't enough!
Anyway, hope this has been helpful. Enjoy... I know I certainly am!!!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Realistic color, Lightweight, extra touches
Cons: that i didn't get it earlier
I would recommend this to a friend!

I upgraded this unit from a JVC 56' DLP this is by far a superior product, the features on this unit are spectacular! I am completely in awe of the picture quality and the color palette is extremely vivid. The internet experience included and the available apps makes this a complete entertainment piece. I am completely satisfied with this television and would highly recommend this television to my friends and family!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

The best 55-inch Smart Apps enabled Samsung TV!

I was looking to purchase a 55-inch flat LED full 1080p HDTV with Smart Apps and inbuilt WiFi capability to stream videos and it could not have gotten any better than this TV. I personally do not care for 3D capabilities and therefore this TV turned out to be of a great value for its reasonable pricing. The TV comes with a wide range of inbuilt apps to suit every form of entertainment. The picture and sound quality is great and the Smart Hub is very easy to navigate. And, of course, one cannot put a price tag on the superior reliability and service promise that comes with Samsung TVs!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

An excellent system for the cost. The TV powers up and changes channels quickly. The smart features are cool, entertaining and rich, very intuitive and easy to use. The content sucks you in. Be sure to invest in the wireless keyboard, it's a must have in order to surf and navigate the experience.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color

This is my second Samsung TV I owned. So I was looking to add to my 32'inch and decided to explore my options. My biggest concern is to find a 55'inch LED w/out 3D and still had top performance. I haven't regret my Father's Day #treatyourself purchase yet. This TV is awesome!
