This tv is sleek and nice looking, looks expensive. You can turn the remote sideways and it becomes a controller for the game disk, very smart! The volume is loud enough and the picture is amazing!!! I bought is for my 3 yr old son for Christmas . He loves it and we received many compliments and is envied by many. The screen is a good size, looks great in our new 2012 Buick regal! Hope this helps!

I recently purchased this tv and I'm pleased to say that this is a great tv. I love the new sleek bezel, picture quality is smooth, and the sound is indeed crisp. I luv it so far. More updates will be posted soon...

For quite some time, my husband and I made due with a small, rather old TV.  When it finally came time to buy ourselves an HD, he did a lot of the research, being more technologically inclined than I am.  After reading rafts of reviews, he suggested that we purchase this model.

First and foremost, the picture quality is phenomenal.  There are issues with glare, so we do have to keep the blinds directly across from the TV closed for the most part but that's a very minor annoyance in comparison with the richness of the colors and the depth of the picture we now enjoy.  Sports in particular are breathtaking on the screen and sitting and watching in your living room truly does feel almost like being there when watching an event through this model.  We haven't progressed to the Blu-Ray phase yet but the picture quality of our DVDs is also quite nice.

One of my favorite features of the TV is the USB port.  It's so easy to plug a USB stick into the side of the TV and view pictures, watch videos, play music, etc.  I didn't fully realize the potential of this feature until we got the TV and began to use it in earnest.  We now frequently make use of it.

The USB port is also handy for the home A/V kit that came with my recently purchased Microsoft Zune.  Thanks to the subwoofer that's built into the TV, the sound quality is quite good.  I can easily connect the A/V kit to the TV and use it to play music on my Zune while I'm doing things like cooking and cleaning and I also frequently use it to play music for my daughter while she's playing.  Again, this is another feature that I wouldn't really have thought about but now that I have it, I find it pretty indispensable.

The overall look of the TV is very sleek and the slight hint of red along the edges helps give it an elegant look.  I never found TVs particular attractive in the past but I'm happy now to have something that looks good in my living room, even when it's turned off.  I also truly and passionately love having a flat screen rather than our old, cumbersome TV.  It's much easier to handle, much easier to keep clean, and now I don't have to worry about my husband getting a hernia when he has to move the TV.

All in all, I'm extremely happy with this purchase--which is good, considering it was a major buy.  We haven't had any problems with the TV whatsoever and it was very nice to be able to bypass one of the big box electronic stores and have the TV shipped directly to our home rather than having to figure out how we would transport it here.

I bought this TV for myself as a Christmas present, and I love it so much! Regular TV programs and video images looked beautiful right out of the box. The color is vivid and pictures from my new progressive DVD also looked very sharp and gorgious. I do not have HDTV so I can't say anything about that. The only complaint I have is that all the connections are in the rear, and since I placed the TV in a shallow bookshelf close to the wall, it's not very convenient to connect/disconnect game box or camcorder. The TV itself is heavy - I imagined it to be very light like a picture frame but it's about as heavy as, if not more than my 20" CRT TV. However I have nevered owned another LCD TV before so I have nothing to compare with other than my 17" computer LCD monitor. Overall I am very satisfied w/ this TV. Its quality is probably about the same as those name brand sets that cost twice as much for the same size. I bought it from Target while on sale and even including tax the total price comes to less than $950 (shipping was free too).

This is a really nice TV.  However, there are wrinkles you might want to consider:

1.  Not all Samsung Smart TVs are the same - even within a given series.  The 6000 series will NOT do Amazon VOD (because it doesn't support the Yahoo! Widgets).  The literature will lead you to believe otherwise.  This has to be a marketing gimmick to drive you to a higher model like the 6300 or 6400.  I was hoping to sign up for Amazon Prime, but since I was fooled, I don't think I will.  Of course, you can just buy a Roku.  Seems weird that Skype is included (if I buy a $$$ Samsung usb camera) but Yahoo! Widgets are not.

2.  Picture clarity is superb - for HD content.  If you have 480p or 480i, you may not be as impressed.  Since my Apple TV is upscaling for most of my content, it's not a problem.  However, I also use the antenna, the 'retro' channels are a little rough, may start watching them at reduced size.

3.  Remote and apps are pretty clunky.  For example, my old Sony had a 'punch thru' on the channel selector.  No matter what input I was watching, hitting the channel indexer immediately put me in antenna mode, a nice feature.  Maybe the Samsung remote is configurable, but you have to hit a few buttons to move around and traverse most of the remote to get there.

4.  Still fiddling with settings, wish I could define settings for specific TV channels and not just an input.

But I still give it 4 stars for picture and value.

I love this TV - it's got a great picture, small footprint and elegant looks, with very nice features and easy to use menus, with an array of inputs. I've hooked my laptop up to the PC port, and many resolutions displayed just fine watching an XVid movie. Then I hooked my PC up to it and played Half Life 2 on it - image fit in perfect - great smooth video at 720p (my video card in my PC would be too weak for 1080p). The zoom modes have been very helpful in watching widescreen DVDs.

This is nice! I love it! It is very sleek looking and the image is nice and sharp. Viewing angle could be better but I am very happy with it at this price. My friend has one of the big brand photo frames, I think it's an HP, and the image is very grainy. I don't have the heart to tell him when he shows me pictures on it. This one has a clear image. I had a question on setting the auto-start/stop feature and emailed the manufacturer, they were quick to send me detailed instructions. So two thumbs up on that as well.

Oh, one last thing: this didn't come with any memory, but it's simple enough to use with a sd card. It also takes USB drives but sd cards are easier IMO.

This is a very nice 4K HDTV. I've had for about a month now and love it. Very sleek with a nice sliver trim. Has many different modes and can adjust it to your liking. I was a little disappointed that this tv doesn't come with 3D glasses for the price, so be prepared to buy some seperatly. Gave 4 stars because I was not impressed with the 3D viewing experience. Could be the Samsung glasses I bought seperatly will be trying a different pair but the 3D just does not look that great on this tv. Overall very nice hdtv and happy with the purchase. Would recommend.

I bought this tv on sale at best buy for 900$, which was 200 over what I had stated as my maximum price. I had my doubts at first about spending so much money on a tv but once i plugged it in and saw the picture quality and all the features it had, all my previous doubts were gone.

The only reason I couldn't give this tv five stars was because it is extremely heavy and large. That wasn't a concern for me going into buying it, but after trying twice to carry it up a flight of stairs and not being able to make it I was forced to return it. The TV weighs in at about 190Lbs. I still ended up getting to enjoy this tv for a long time though because i managed to get my dad to buy one.

If size or weight isn't a factor for you, I didn't think it was for me until I got this TV, then buy this TV. Every other thing about this TV is flawless.

For starters I'm very happy with this TV (799$ i don't belive) , its design features a remarkably slender (barely 1cm) bezel adorned with a lovely brushed metal finish.
Multimedia thanks to three USB ports, an SD slot, LAN and built-in Wi-Fi network options, and a D-Sub PC port. The USBs can be used to record from the tuners as well as playing back a solid selection of video, photo and music files, while the LAN/Wi-Fi options can be used for either streaming the multimedia from networked DLNA PCs or for taking the TV online, with Panasonics Viera Connect service.
DT50 performs fairly well but fails to really set itself apart from the LED competition with its oversaturated (undersaturated at times) colors and subpar black levels. On the other hand, DT50 has fast response time, wide viewing angles, low crosstalk for an active 3D LCD-TV and high detailing in both SD and HD content.

Pros
 Gorgeous design
 Bright, colourful material looks excellent
 Terrific 3D performance
 Built-in Wi-Fi.
 Powerful audio.
Cons
 Black level depth is unimpressive
 Dynamic contrast system is clumsy
 No backlight adjustment
 3D glasses not included.

This is a fine TV. The picture is great and viewable from most angles.

Pros:
Great Picture
Decent internal speakers
Nice stand, though mine is now on the wall.

Cons:
Only 2 HDMI ports
Most ports are located in the center of the back, where many wall-mounts have backing plates
The Optical audio port exits straight out, which is a problem as the cable is not very flexible
External audio is not controlled by the TV remote

  This is a great TV for the price. My mother has had hers on all day for years with no problems.

  The first one I ordered arrived DOA, the screen was shattered by poor handling by FedEx. As usual Amazon shipped another immediately.

  The only problems I've had concern the optical audio. The Toslink adapter works fine but the fiber-optic cable is stiff and doesn't like to bend in the small space between the mount and the wall, resulting in occasional loss of signal. It would have been much better to have the port at an parallel to the back instead of straight out. It's also tough to get the connections made after the TV is on the wall. I wish the connections were not in the middle of the back, but this isn't an issue if it's not mounted on a wall. I think the stand is stylish and very stable - you don't want this TV falling over.

  The main thing I wish is that I'd gotten a bigger one!

I am overall satisfied with this tv, I love its design, the fact that it is white and good looking, similar to my iMac computer, and I wanted an energy star rated tv, that uses less wattage than my 1984 Mitsubishi 19" tv .  The picture is not quite as good as my old 84 Mitsubishi, but it is reasonably close. I still have to use my cable box (which I hate) from Cox cable to get some channels, though I can get many channels without the box. The pedestal is excellent, it tilts up or down to give a much better viewing angle, and the picture is easily viewable from any angle in my living room of my condo. The pedestal also has excellent non-slip feet that gives it a good footing on my tv stand, plus there are straps you can tie the tv down with (as I have to the stand itself).  I just have to figure out if I must have a receiver to add a couple of better speakers, an amplifier, or what. Overall, i am pleased with this purchase.

This is a TV for the design geeks. It's beautiful, glossy white (not unlike the ipod), clean minimalist design is featured in Wallpaper magazine and is just stunning. I got it for #1) design, #2) name brand/quality, #3) small size. 23" is perfect for my tiny NYC studio apartment.

Is it loaded with features? yes, but probably not enough for the uber-technophile. I shopped this tv around to my technogeek friends who ultimately said, "it's a good tv, but only if you use it to mainly watch tv." If you're a gamer or want a bigger screen for the money, then this tv is not for you. The picture is good enough for me; i can tell the difference between HD and non-HD; but for now, even though HD is possible on this tv (you just subscribe and it will adjust to the HD feed), i chose not to have it and the picture's still good. uber-sharp? no, but it's good enough.

My husband and I have had the same 20" TV/DVD/VCR combo box since college.  We don't have cable or satellite but frequently use Netflix or similar on our pc.
This year, we decided to finally get a new tv.  We set a price and specs, then said we would buy one as soon as a TV showed up meeting those requirements.  This TV met those with a lightening deal, and I was lucky.
Easy to put together, very sleek looking.  We didn't do a wall mount.
When viewing a full 1080p stream from Netflix or itunes (we got an Apple TV to go with it), this TV is IMO indistinguishable from the Samsung TVs we saw at the mall.  Lower quality streams look fine too, just not HD.  Sound is fine too.
The interface on the TV is adequate, not fancy.  Cannot pull up a network TV guide like I could with my old CRT TV and converter box, but perhaps I haven't looked hard enough.  The remote is not great and requires a concentrated point at the TV, but no biggie since I typically use the Apple TV anyway, controlled with my iPhone.  I just use the TV remote for volume.
So far, we are extremely happy with our purchase.  We paid a very low cyber Monday price, so this was a VERY good deal for the money.

Update - remote lost power button and volume down function just under 2 years after purchase.  Now about 3 years after purchase, the touch-sensitive control area on the tv malfunctions, making it difficult to turn on the tv.  It also scans through channels randomly.

I bought this set during Cyber Monday when it was on sale for $800. I read the CNET review, like many others, and was a little uneasy when purchasing.

The first thing I want to address is the washed out colors and dull blacks. I have to say; if you purchase a TV and don't bother playing with the settings, you will be disappointed with a great deal of them. Out of the box, the TV does look decent. 10 minutes in the menu and it looks great. Honestly, it's that simple. Absolutely no issues in that regard.

PROS: Sleek design, the apps are nice(although interfaces are somewhat clunky), picture is great, good menu options, really thin (both frame and thickness of the TV itself), 240 HZ is strong but not overbearing, pairing 3D glasses is effortless, 3D looks really good, and there's a good amount of inputs for various components.

CONS: Glasses sold separately, glare from the 3D glasses, Remote control has no keyboard, HDMI inputs are so thin I can't put in one of my thicker cables, the Panasonic emblem glows at the bottom (kind of annoying.)

Most of my issues are small. Biggest one is probably glare from the glasses, which actually affects viewing. I didn't really expect a keyboard on the remote, but it definitely would have been nice. Next up is finding a way to turn off the lit Emblem.

I still think it merits the 5 stars, given the features and minuscule cons.

This is a fabulous TV. I'm a professional photographer and stare at images and screens all day long, and I'm fussy. I shopped around a ton and settled on this 4K / 120hz 32-zone local-dimming model with the VA panel & real Surround Sound. It's by far the best specs for the price.

Specs however don't make a great TV. I had my doubts about the 4K upscaling idea - more pixels does NOT mean more resolution, people - but it actually is pretty stunning. The smoothing effect is really good and many types of media - especially animation, CGI and games - look close to real 4K when upscaled from 1080. The pixels are small enough you can't see them and the image quality is markedly better than 1080 when upscaled.

Real filmed video though, live action shows and movies, benefit less from the 4K. If anything, the better resolution draws attention to the need for streaming services to use better compression on their served media - the TV can handle way more image data than Netflix and the like are willing to stream you. Even their limited 4K shows are still compressed - there may be 4K pixels, but the movie compression algorithm causes artifacting. They need to scale up. Still, the 4K overall is an improvement. It may not be as good as it could be if you were watching everything in native 4K rather than upscaled and unlimited by bandwith, but, it's still really nice.

Brightness - this tv is blazingly bright. And stunningly dark. It surprised me so much at first - during loading screens in a game, for example, where the screen was dark except for one small logo, I thought the whole thing had turned off. Nope, it's just the amazing dimming. The blacks on this TV are black-hole black. You couldn't get more contrast than this. In fact I had to really tweak the settings so it wasn't over-contrasted. The bright LED panel and the gorgeous rich colors are stunning. I spend tons of time just reeling through beautiful landscape footage because it looks amazing.

You do have to spend time fiddling with the settings to get the image to look the way you want, but I imagine that's true of any TV. The remote is less cool than more expensive TVs - it's a little plasticky and clunky. The keyboard, however, is a huge timesaver. If you want a fancy remote, you can buy a universal remote.

The audio is also great. This is one of few TVs in its class (or any close to it) with real Surround Sound, not simulated surround. Even with only the built-in speakers, you can clearly hear sound pan left to right as action moves across the screen. It also has pass-through surround so you can use real surround satellite speakers - again, not the simulated surround many TVs offer. It's great - the sound is really immersive even with the basic speakers. I plan to add the Vizio sound 5.1 surround soundbar & satellites.

This TV has made my life better - it's a really gorgeous and rich experience. I have a 50" and I sit about 5' away, which I think is perfect.

I've always liked the Sony brand, but to find outside the United States and reside in a country where exchange controls, ($ 400 per year for internet shopping) it would take three years to accumulate the amount of a TV more expensive. I recommend this LG TV for its price, and excellent image quality.
