This was the first large purchase I made from Amazon. Originally I was interested in purchasing the sister model UN46C6400 from my local warehouse club store on a "coupon sale". However they had raised the price $80. the day of sale to then take off $230. I checked Amazon and was able to buy the TV for $218 less plus free delivery and set up. The delivery and set up was on time and completed in less than 15 minutes. I was pleased with this service.

The standard picture setting was different than what I saw in the store, with movies having more of a video quality than film. Once adjusted the picture was excellent and when viewing Blu-Ray movies it looked beautiful. The sound is average like most flat panel TV's, however I was able to coax better bass and treble by using the equalizer. I have the TV hooked to the surround system when I want to view a Blu-Ray movie anyway.


These are the picture and sound settings I use.
Mode Standard
Backlight 12
Contrast 70
Brightness 50
Sharpness 75
Color 45
Tint G50/R50
Eco Off

Equalizer Settings
100Hz 100%
300Hz 75%
1KHz 50%
3KHz 75%
10KHz 85%

The power usage is very low (92 watts at #12 backlight setting), which is why I opted for the LED backlight. I have not had any problems with light leakage from the edge lit array. Overall I am satisfied with this TV and would recommend it to a friend.

PS Don't forget to purchase a HDMI cord like I did, I bought the Amazon cord separately and had to pay the extra $5. for shipping and handling.

I shopped around for a long time before I bought this TV and I don't regret purchasing this one at ALL! Free delivery including set up made it even more worth it. The image quality is the best I have ever seen, and the slim design is amazing.

At first this TV was fantastic, but as I watched it I notice that the picture seem a bit "choppy" on a lot of channels/programs. The Auto Motion Plus settings do not seem to do anything about this, even though the descriptions of them indicate that they will smooth the picture out.
I own another Samsung LCD TV (not LED back-lit) and the picture was fine, but seemed to start to "crap out" after about 2 years (it took about 30 seconds to turn on and then the picture was usually filled with green and purple pixels. Re-starting the TV usually solved the problem, but I feared it would completely die very soon).
So, I bought this tv as the price seemed very good for the product and now I know why it seemed so cheap. Almost every program I watch on the TV ends up looking like stop-motion animation as the picture seems very very choppy. It is very very annoying and I cannot seem to find any way to smooth the picture out. I have tried adjusting all of the picture settings available and not a single setting resolves the problem. Since this was not a problem with my other TV I believe it must be a problem with this TV.
I am starting to believe that Samsung products are not all that well built and I will start looking for another brand that hopefully will be better on quality. With technology as advance as it is, no tv sold these days should be choppy and not be able to keep up with the video without sputtering.

The picture on this TV is the best I have ever seen. Amazon's price was unbeatable. Delivery was slow. My only real complaint is that the audio quality of the built-in speakers is amazingly lousy. This was easily resolved by switching off the built-in speakers and hooking the tv up to my tuner and a small set of Polk Audio speakers and an Advent center channel speaker.
