One of the best LED's on the market

I always bought the uber high end - my last one being a 65" Mitsubishi Diamond Series.
High end model after high end model was nothing but a sequence of fix it events.
During this time I noticed my best friends Samsung, not only did it look great, but he never had a service issue during the same period in which I went through 3 TV's.
I decided to pull the trigger and get the latest LED - and the voice in my head kept telling me not to even consider anything else than a Samsung. So I did!

The apps that you can use on the TV are functional, but I'd much rather just have a computer hooked up to it for such content.
Pros:
Beautiful picture, beautiful case, the bezel is amazing, the hidden button in the glass bezel are a nice touch. Feature rich. Pleanty of inputs and outputs. Easily on par with some of the best LED units on the market - especially in the 65" size range.

Cons:
I love the look of the 1.1 inches of thickness, but it does become a pain when you actually have to hook up cables to it. Many of the high end cables are just about as thick as the TV is and Samsung does not leave you much room to play with.
The factory stand is a bit weak, could be a bit stronger.

Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: space left for inputs is a bit too tight, the apps are a gimmick, needs a quick access button for automotion plus
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great TV

I bought this to replace a 4 year old 65" DLP that I had put a third lamp into last year. I did a lot of research and based on what I wanted to spend and the reviews, this was the one. I have one other LCD tv and it has a great picture, so I thought I'd get on the LED program.
I saw this set in a store and it had a very high quality picture, so I knew with some tweaking of the settings, I would be happy. I found some tweaking values in an AV forum and they were pretty right on. I also used the THX calibration tool and got an excellent setup for my Blu-ray input. Blacks are very inky and color is awsome. I've run the Wii into it with component cables and it looks fabulous.
I have the unit wired to ethernet and use it for Netflix streaming. Works great (retrieves content faster than using my networked Blu ray player). I also pipe the audio through my home theater system, which is what you need to do with a set this size.
I love that the set swivels to gain access to the inputs.. This was not the case with the DLP which was a 150 LB. gorilla.
My only two peeves are that the stand seems less sturdy than it should (you can "wiggle" the screen fore and aft...am thinking of earthquake movement), although it comes with a wall-mountable "tether", and that the remote is kind of hokey. This is not really an issue, since I use a pro universal remote that I've programmed.
I'm extremely happy with this unit and highly recommend it to anyone. It's going to be calibrated Thursday, which I'm sure will only improve an already outstanding picture.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, many adjustment options, consumes less power
Cons: hokey remote, stand seems flimsy
I would recommend this to a friend!

I wish I had paid the extra cost for the full array led un65c8000, but I didn't want the 3D. The un65c6500 has noticeable streaks on the the screen on solid colored scenes, such as soccer games and sky shots. This is not noticable on dark scenes or scenes with a lot going on.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: noticable streaking from edge-lit led
I would recommend this to a friend!

65 inch LED is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've owned this TV for 2 months and it's Awesome. The picture is INCREDIBLY CLEAR. Watching the NFL is amazing, watching any good content is amazing. If you don't need 3D , and I don't (kids might like it) this is the set for you. I did all the research and the black levels, brightness, features (multiple HDMI inputs) are all execellent. Note: Remember the broadcast dictates how good the picture is.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Picture I've Seen
on January 2, 2011

Stellar picture when the source material is high quality 1080p. The video processing in this unit is really good. Video noise is nonexistant and mpeg artifacts are very difficult to see unless you look very carfully at material that doesn't compress well. You can't see any artifacts most of the time and you never will if you don't know what to look for. If the picture looks deficient its the source and not the tv. The factory settings work really well, but there are lots of adjustments if you want to tweak the video response.
I haven't seen a design from any other manufacturer I like as well as the larger Samsung LED TVs regardless of price.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, lots of advanced picture adjustments
Cons: poor instructions for setting up online accounts
I would recommend this to a friend!
