“This television is perhaps the best I’ve ever seen in it’s own right, but then combine that with the price that’s being offered and you really have an unbeatable deal! Picture quality is astounding, in that colors, blacks, whites, and grays are all accurately and sharply reproduced, and I really don’t see how you can get a much better picture than this on any TV out there. Plus, you don’t need to turn contrast and saturation up to “fake” a solid picture – put this baby on THX mode and you’ve got all the color and contrast you need in a picture that truly does match the intended output of the source material. All sources I have tried look great – Blu-Ray is absolutely astonishing, upscaled DVDs really look like HD, and both standard and HD television look as great as they can. “ – Dave (Philadelphia, USA)

“This 3D TV is just amazing. It is actually much better than what I expected. The picture quality is definitely better than I ever expected. The 3D is very cool and so life like. Some reviews mentioned some double images but I barely noticed any and think it is a non issue. To pay the extra money for the 3d TV as compared with the standard model I think is a non brainer to just get the 3D TV. I also bought the 3d surround sound which is really cool too. I think anyone will love the TV for many years and you may as well get the best out there rather than buying a TV that will soon be obsolete.” – KC Reap (USA)

“Amazing picture. Sound not so great as tiny speakers aim down from the bottom ridge of TV. I cant believe how thin the television is and how bright the picture is. It plays most everything I’ve thrown at it in perfect color and very little pixelation. No warm up time like Standard LED TVs and much easier to watch. I highly recommend this TV. If you’re going to buy an LCD television…make sure it is backlit with LEDs. Samsungs out-perform all the other brands.” – R.Lewis (AZ,USA)
