The TV takes a little time to setup. You need HDMI 1.4 cables all
around for 3D to work. You can plug and play your television but you
really need to fine tune your picture depending on the source and the
lighting in your particular room. I found tuning guides online that
helped me adjust my picture. I wish you could universally adjust your
picture for all your sources however after spending an hour fine tuning
my cable input, I realized I have to fine tune my PC, Blu-Ray, and PS3
inputs separately. This is probably the biggest gripe I have about the
television. So plan on spending an afternoon one day fine tuning the
picture. The menu’s are the most refined either. They are nice but they
could be better. Why is the “gaming mode” buried so deep in the menu.
That should almost be a button on the remote!!! I mean, the remote is
nice and handy and has about 150 buttons on it, why not make just one
of those a “game mode” button? Also, plan on running a wired network
cable to this TV. The wireless doesn’t work very well. The sound
quality of the TV is as expected. You really need to hook up a surround
system.

Despite a few shortcomings, you’ll love this TV. Once you get past
the initial setup you can’t beat it. The picture is near flawless and
the 3D is the best on the market. It really pops out of your set. With
any TV, there are always a few quirks. But this Samsung easily makes up
for them. The inputs are so nice. They handle things flawlessly. I just
plug something in and it recognizes it. Especially if its a Samsung
product.

Blu-Ray movies and 3D blu-ray movies look spectacular. I received 2
free pairs of glasses with the TV and sent in the mailer for 2 more.
They took about 2 weeks to come in the mail. The 3D glasses are light
and comfortable. The fit my 4 year old and also fit me just fine. ESPN
3D is also very cool. Comcast carries it in my area.

Pairing the remote was easy. Just make sure you are right next to
the television. There is no instruction booklet. Samsung decided to
include the online version which is a real pain. There is a learning
curve with this TV. You will need to spend some time setting it up and
learning its features. But wow, is it worth it! I love this TV. The
picture is second to none. Don’t believe me? Just head to your local
best buy and compare this with any other TV. This will blow anything
away! A little pricey but that’s because it’s the latest technology and
the best on the market. If you can swing it! Get this TV!

*** P.S. IF you will buy this TV I suggest you have compare price before you decide at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Foffer-listing%2FB004N866SU%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Ddp_olp_new_map%26condition%3Dnew%23&tag=slashgear.com-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

I do miss the slimness and cool to the touch of the LED, but I’m stuck with the heat and awesome response of my current TV.
