"I am truly awestruck with this television. I absolutely love it as does everyone that walks through the door, The picture quality is the best I've ever seen.. If I had to find fault it would be that it consumes so much of my time that I have to be reminded there is more to life than watching television."

"I have owned this TV for 4 months and its amazing, every one that has visited our home cannot believe the picture quality, and i think this is possibly the very best purchase I have ever made. The 3D feature is amazing, I watch 3D blu ray films using my Playstation 3, things just come out of the screen at you I have never seen anything on another TV that even comes close. This Samsung TV is the only one on the market that has full 3D HD. Totally recommend it. You may think that its price is a little high but when you compare what you had to pay for just an normal HD TV a few years ago and the amount you get with this TV its a really good price and value for money and it can be upgraded next year with the latest software just like the play station is, so no need to have to replace it for a newer model."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Excellent TV overall

Posted18 August 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"Love the TV! and has great sound for an LED! Picture is superb and is very easy to use.
Have some issues with voice control, it sometimes doesnt respond, but I dont quite expect it to be on a 'Star Trek' level quite yet so this is acceptable.
The back lighting looks patchy on some black screens, and there is no 'audio out' apart from optical, to connect to a surround sound unit, also no scart, only an adapter that will not work as phono out, so the only way to connect this TV to an amp is by the headphone socket! meaning no sound coming through the TV! hence the 2 external small speakers on my photo, very frustrating however everything else is fine.
The smart hub is ok but virtually impossible to use the web browser unless you use a wireless mouse, and the samsung apps are very basic! It has a long way to go to reach Apple standards, but apple dont make TV's so its fair enough."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations

From an Image-quality Obsessive

Posted09 August 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"From a stickler for all things related to image - I am borderline obsessive regarding the basic image quality and enhancing it to personal preference via settings - this TV is quite simply the best I have ever witnessed.
It produces the contrasts, black levels and motion seen on the best plasma TVs with ease, and almost no backlight bleed whatsoever. In fact, having traded a plasma for this LED, the plasma actually had more obvious bleed issues...and was a Panasonic model that is currently being hailed as 'perfect' on the major online review websites.
I say this not as someone who has made a compromise and is trying to justify it....this TV really is BETTER at blacks and has BETTER illumination that a TOP RANGE PLASMA. That's either a fact, or I have been the luckiest buyer of this item ever.
In terms of image clarity. Not open for discussion really, the best TV on the market and - like digital camera resolutions - I think this has killed any additinal improvements in this screen size. It is so sensitive to input that it actually exposes any BluRay/TV signal etc that is not of the best quality.
Even the "poor" inputs look brilliant in general though! Motion blur and judder does not exist either, and the gaming mode is perfect for gamers worried about 'lag'; this setting will also apply only to the input you assign to your console, so no fiddly swapping about between input streams with your settings.
One tip, out of the box the motion plus bits and bobs are all on "high". This causes artifacts around the image - very noticable. Suggest you turn them all 'off' and then use the manual controls to edge back up to a level you are happy with. I am currently revelling in natural film FPM, with no blur or judder and not an artefact in sight.
It's an expensive outlay, but I won't be buying another TV for at LEAST 5 years based on this one. It'll then be a Samsung OLED, 100%.
In a word...IMMENSE!"
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, black levels, response to input
Cons: initial high outlay...but justified!

Unbelievable

Posted06 May 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"I am totally in awe of this set. The amount of technology that Samsung have managed to squeeze into this wafer thin set is amazing. The 3D is the best I've ever seen from BluRay and it even handles 3D stills in .mpo format. It's a lot of money but it's a lot of TV.
There's a built in FreeSat tuner as well which was a pleasant surprise.
Skype, Facebook, recoring to USB or HD, you name it - this set does it all.
The concept of the evolution card to upgrade the electronics is a master stroke.
The best advice I can give anyone who is reading this is very simple - go buy one, it's currently the most advanced set available today and thanks to the evolution kit, it probably always will be.
A triumph of design and state-of -the -art technology."
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, futuristic design, convincing 3d

"Wow is all I can say about the quality of this TV. Hook it up to a 3d Blu-Ray player and it'll blow you away! HD channels are also crisp and colourful. Sound not 10 out of 10 but it is wafer thin so this is to be expected, just get a surround sound system in."
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, excellent 3d capability

I understood this TV comes with the Super AMOLED screen as in galaxy phones/tabs. Dsappointed it doesn't as this is the best quailty screen currently

Posted06 April 2012

"Great TV but the stand is weird as it cannot readily fit with a sound-bar underneath the TV, which I think is the sound system of the future of these TV's [no cables swimming around the room]. Shame it doesn't have the Super AMOLED screen I was led to believe was in this release."
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight, Bright display
Cons: tv stand weird, no amolite screen

A good TV but too many gadgets that don't work

Posted29 December 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"Have owned this TV for 3 months now. Voice and gesture control are very basic and easily confused. My TV regular thinks I am waving or talking at it so the voice or motion controls appear which is annoying. I have turned both off. It also has a habit of saying it is about to power down so you have to find the remote to stop it doing so. Picture is excellent in 3D and 2D but motion control not the best. I love this TV but it is by no means the best out there for picture quality. Overall I would recommend it but don't buy it for the voice and motion control as you will be badly disappointed. It looks fantastic and is great to watch files on. The smart features are useful but I prefer using other devices to browse the net not my TV."

Has features which you will soon tire of

"Unless you are facing directly in front of the tv,the motion sensors etc simply do not work ! If you are at an angle to the tv,the sensors do not see you as they only rotate vertically and not horizontally.bthis makes the much lauded features superfluous . Might as well buy the much cheaper without these and save the money"
