Granted I've only had this Tv for a short time but for the price it's pretty hard to pass up this set. 1080P is where its at and this Tv delivers. There is a multitude of connections so most everyone will be able to hook up thier electronic goodies, from the past ten years to the latest and greatest. If all you have is $1000 or so budget buy this TV!

Pros: Picture is Great!
Connections galore.
Set-up is a breeze.
Great Value

Cons: It is a DLP so the viewing angle varies depending on where you sit.
Standard Tv Sound (But its the norm for the most part)
Really most anything bad about this set is minimal at best.

I also have a Sony 3LCD DLP purchased last summer. This Samsung blows it away. The picture is extremely crisp. It's pretty light. I could actually move it myself.

I receive it one week ago. Very good picture (spectacular in fact), the size is really big by any standards and the price is among the best at this level of quality. Delivery was quick, in a couple of days, but the guys that put it in my home were sloppy and took advantage of my wife being busy with our daughter and did not installed and checked the TV but fortunatelly it was in perfect condition and this is not about the quality of product. The image on the HD chanels is unreal, very good colors, details, black levels, simply amazing. From an upscaling SONY NS700H DVD player the image is really very close to Bluray and HD DVD at a fraction of the price and with regular DVD's that are suddenly HD converted (I will change the player with a Philips DVP 5992 that is code free and has more formats and probably the image will be a little less in quality). The standard chanels are very good as well, significantly improved actually, it could be the Verizon digital cable signal that probably helps. I used HDMI connections and this is also instrumental to activate the entire potential of this TV set.

I didn't think that for 1068$ you can get a TV set at this size and this quality genuinely comparable with the very best and expensive ones. The only concern will be the life of the bulb and the additional cost to replace it but we will see about that, I took the risk to trade 700 less in price for not being a LED projection TV like the 750 series. I almost forget: this is 3D technology and while the idea is rather new and I am not certain how good is in this respect (you need additional googles and more broadcasting/games in 3D) it sounds rather exciting.

We did our research for months and this was the "best of breed" for us. We wanted a display that would do it all, games, HD, PC, HD-3D, and this was the ticket! The first unit that arrived was defective, visible line along the bottom of the screen which looked like a manufacturing defect and did bend the image. Amazon was very cool and shipped out a replacement in three days. WOW, great customer service there! We now have HDTV, Karoke, Wii, PS2, XBox, PC, Laptop, DVD Player-1080p upscaled, all connected and not a problem with any of them! This unit will not hang on the wall but the slimline footprint is great and it only weighs 50 pounds. Lots of connections on the side, we connected the optical out to our home theater (JVC) and processing the 5.1 surround sound is done very well. Fast action sports broadcasts in HD look spectacular on this TV, no ghosting or image bleeding as with our plasma TV. Overall we are very satisfied with the unit, the finish is very rich looking. We were worried about the light that comes out of the back of the TV during operation which is normal but it didn't become an issue at all. The images are crisp and sharp and there is a ton of customization that can be done with the picture through the menu tools. I am sure that someone will find fault with this display but that won't be us!! This was our first purchase through Amazon and they came through with flying color!!
