These speakers are incredible. I bought the whole package for a 5.1 bi-amp surround setup. I have two of these, the dual 5 1/4" center channel, two 5 1/4" bookshelfs, and the 10" sub all hooked to the Denon AVR-3100W receiver. I cant imagine needing better sound, the clarity is very impressive allowing for action sequences and spoken word to be heard flawlessy without having to constantly adjust the volume. I would recommend bi-amp wiring these as you can't reach the speakers potential without doing so (receiver alone cant send enough power on 1 channel). I have these set up in a 22' x 22' room and i cant get above 70% volume without risking bleeding from my ears. BEWARE - don't be turned away from these speakers because of the sound at the store display, they are way more capable than best buy has them set up to be.

I got this TV on a great deal at Best Buy. I planned on purchasing the 75" version but was able to get this 65" for half the price at the time. The tv has amazing picture as do most current hdtvs but i bought this model based on the 240hz refresh rate. I would not buy a tv this big without going with a 240hz refresh rate. The bigger the picture the more blur you will notice if the tv is not refreshing the pixels fast enough, spend the extra money and upgrade to 240hz. I would not advise upgrading to the 4K version however. No television service provider, blu ray player or video game console can send a 4K signal at this point and most still dont even send a full 1080p signal. You will be dissapointed in the small increase in clarity on a 4K. Stick with a 1080p 240hz and you will not be dissapointed. The picture is clear and does not show any motion blur while playing action video games, or fast moving movies. I don't use the smart features as i have a PS4 that handles that better than most smart applications, but the menu for the smart app is very easy to navigate and use it seems. Not sure on the sound either as i have it hooked up to a receiver with Klipsch speakers. This is the third Samsung i have bought and i cant see myself ever buying anything but Samsung. They seem to last and produce great picture for a long time. Buy this with confidence.

Bought this receiver expecting good results but got amazing results. I hooked it up to Klipsch Reference speakers and sub. It is powering two 8" reference towers, a dual 5 1/4" center channel and 5 1/4" bookshelfs for the rear. I have never owned a high end receiver before and i realize now what i was missing. The setup is very easy as it uses the television as a monitor to give you an easier display than the front of the receiver. It allows me to tell the receiver that i would like to run a 5.1 bi-amp system among many other options. The two Klipsch 8" towers allow for you to bi-amp from the front and rear secondary channels producing excellent sound. The receiver allows you to change the gain on each individual speaker or opt for the easy to use Audyssey setup that configures your speakers using a wire mic. The bluetooth and internet radio is amazing. I have also enjoyed the many options for sound. I can set the receiver to multi channel stereo and receive the same sound from all 5 speakers or opt for a surround sound experience. My theater room budget was just over $5000 not including furniture and this receiver fit the bill perfectley. I would highly recommend checking this thing out if you are looking for a 7.2 channel receiver or check out the higher end denon for 9.2

MADDEN'S BACK

World's Better than Madden 10. I played Madden 10 for about a day and hated it so much that I traded it in immediately. This game is a huge improvement. If you are a madden fan than I highly suggest Madden 11.
What's great about it: Revamped Gameplay, Graphics, Features
What's not so great: Nothing I Can Think Of

![The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy [Extended Edition] [15 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/2629/2629119_sa.jpg)
Overall
1 out of 5
1 out of 5Is this what I've been waiting for?????
By trduchien
from St Johns, Fl
I don't understand, why in the h*ll is this 15 disc? It is nice that it isn't the recomended $120, but with so many releases of these films, all I want is the EE of the films. This should be no more than 3-5 discs. Put each movie on one BD (maybe the ROTK on two) and scrape the special features. How much can they possibly be different then the special features that everyone has already paid for in other sets, plus they are on DVD, not BD!!! I will wait (EVEN LONGER) till they get just an EE BD movie only release. Why waste money on cr@p I already have?

PRICE!!!
June 29, 2011
What are you complaining about? The Price?? Consider the extra's free of charge, you are paying $70 for three Blu-Ray Movies, thats only about $24 a piece. That is pretty standard pricing for new releases on Blu-Ray. Do the math, the extra's are free.

Which model to purchase?
Both items are on sale and priced the same. Should I buy this model:
Samsung - 60" Class (60" Diag.) - LED - 4K Ultra HD TV (2160p) - Smart - 3D - HDTV
or
Samsung - 65" Class (64-1/2" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - 240Hz - Smart - 3D - HDTV
The first offers the UHD 4k and related features. The second is bigger and a beautiful model; however I am leaning towards advanced technology. Although 4K is not commonly used, it may become more prevalent
Any views or personal experience would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I would recommend the 65" 1080p 240hz. I agree that 4K may be feasible in the future but that is going to take a significant amount of time. At this point most broadcast hd television from dish, directv, and cable aren't evening hitting the 1080p mark. Most blu ray players and game systems don't send a 1080p signal as well. If i am not mistaken i believe the 60" 4K is only a 120hz and that can show motion blur on a tv this size. Go check out CNET.com for articles on why you shouldn't buy a 4K tv and enjoy the savings from sticking with the 1080p. I do own the 65" 1080p version and it is so clear, i cant imagine needing anything more than that.

I have seen this model TV elsewhere. Is this included with two remotes? "smart" and standard?
Yes you get two remotes in the box. The standard remote looks and feels just like a normal Samsung remote they have had for years. The smart remote has the ability to activate speech commands and makes typing in search or wifi passwords a breeze. Just point the remote at the screen and dot appears that allows you to highlight letters and number and hit the ok button on the remote.
