Excellent TV for the price. Samsung delivers again

First of all, there have been people bashing this TV because the lack of inputs. Do your research before purchasing a product, if you aren't happy with it because you didn't know how many inputs it has or doesn't have before you bought it then that's your fault, not the company's.
I bought this TV as a Black Friday special and got a great price, cheapest 65" television that I've ever seen and it was the Samsung brand which is one of the best in the business. I have been using this television for a couple of weeks now and cannot be happier with what it does. I have watched life NFL games, blu ray movies, and played PS3 games on it with seamless results.
Now here's the deal, this is a basic LED television. It's not wi-fi, smart, 3D, blah blah blah. It doesn't have a multitude of inputs or work on voice commands, nor will it make you a sandwhich or take out the trash. I wanted a TV for just that, to display a HD picture from my sources. I only need 1 HDMI input since all I have hooked up to this is a Direct TV receiver and a PS3 that both go through an automatic HDMI switch. With that said, it works flawlessly. There was no reason to buy a Smart tv when I can access Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Pandora, etc. from my components.
I have read reviews where people are complaining about the out of the box picture quality and how bad it is. Here's the thing, if you buy a tv just to take it out of the box and turn it on then expect the best quality picture without trying to calibrate it at all then that's no different then buying a new car and not changing the radio/sound settings to your liking. I went on the AVS forum and did a search for this model number TV to see what others are using for their picture settings and have to day that after 2 min of changing them it was AMAZING! I ended up purchasing the Disney World of Wonder blu-ray disc to cailbrate the television picture even further and the images are incredible. My family was over for Christmas and the look on my dads face when I did a demo with the new Man of Steel movie was priceless. He couldn't believe how crystal clear the picture was and how dark the blacks were for an LED TV.
This television replaces a 51" Samsung LCD that was about 5 years old and I paid $200 for Best Buy to calibrate it using ISF standards and the picture seems to me to be better on the new 65".
Now to the drawbacks. About the only thing that I'm not completely satisfied with is the sound. Granted, as thin as tv's are these days it means the speakers have to be that thin as well resulting in a flat, lacking low end and mid range sound. Now the volume can get extremely loud but the sound quality isn't the best (never is in these newer tv's). With that said, the best option is to purchase either a full surround system with seperate speakers and receiver or go the soundbar route. Samsung makes some really nice options for the soundbar which uses an HDMI input. Most other brands use an Optical input (fiber optic cable or TOSLINK) which this TV does not have. So, one can either stay with Samsung and use the HDMI cable or purchase an HDMI to TOSLINK converter in order to use the Optical input of other brands of soundbars. Now, I knew this when I purchased the television because I actually read the specifications and it still fit my needs, you should do the same and make the best decision based on your personal needs.
I got it for $999 on black friday from the listed price of $1499. I probably wouldn't pay the full $1499 price for it just because for that money there are other tv's just a tad smaller with more features but for me this was a no brainer at that price.

Very accurate scale with many built in features

My old digital scale bit the dust so my wife and I decided to purchase the Fitbit Aria as it's replacement. I was a little hesitant to spend that much money on a scale but looking at all of the features we decided to give it a shot. I can tell you that it is worth every penny. I am a bodybuilder so keeping track of my weight daily and body fat percentage is very important and this scales does it flawlessly.
Set up was a breeze following the included instructions after creating an online account free with Fitbit. We had to create two separate accounts for me and my wife to keep track of everything separately but it was really simple. I love the fact that when I step on the scale it automatically detects that it is me and syncs directly with my account wirelessly. No having to plug it in or select which user is getting ready to step on.
I find this scale very accurate and tested it with a 25 lb dumbell, it was right on.
Went with the White scale because were were afraid the black one would show water spots or get dirty easily with the glass top. A little windex once a week and it looks brand new.
My wife and I also purchased the new Fitbit Force activity trackers (bracelets) to go with it and love how everything works seamlessly with each other.
If I had to do it over again I would purchase this scale in a heartbeat. I bet they would sell more of them if they dropped the price $20 but for all of the features it's a deal.
