I am extremely happy with the Samsung 6000. Very cool look on the wall and wonderful picture. It was easy to hang as well, I made my own suspension system with parts from the local big box home store. I run the audio through a receiver, so I cant comment on the “problem” with the poor sound of the Samsung. There are couple “points of interest” that I have with this set:

#1. At times, the picture is a bit too clear. The motion flow can create a picture that is almost too good at times. This, however, is not a problem, just an observation.

#2. You can see some bright spots in the periphery of the screen when its completely black. It looks as if a few of the LED lights are too bright. Once again, not really a problem, unless you watch a completely black screen all the time.

#3. This set does not auto format the picture to the input of the picture size. This is only a problem if you switch between HD feed and analog feed. I do this frequently, so it is a bit of an issue, having to adjust the picture size constantly.

#4. On certain channels, you will get flickering white bars at the top of the picture. I have not isolated when this happens, however it is associated with #3,,,,,not having the correct size ratio based on the picture feed.

Overall, great bang for buck. Very happy.

Last week while watching this tv with my grandkids it went dead.I had just purchased it less than 2 months ago. After unpluggging the unit 3 times for about 10 each I decided to call Samsung. They said they needed it needed a service tech to look at it. It’s been 4 days so far and not a word from a repairman yet. My guess is it will be almost a week at the earliest before I get a call for an appointment. After spending over $3500 for the tv and other Samsung products to accompany the tv. One would fiqure that the customer might be treated somewhat better. When I first bought the unit I told my family about it and one actually cosidered buying one but since it went dead less than 2 months later and the customer service that was nonexsistent. They changed their mind and decided to buy another brand instead.

This purchase was just so very simple we couldn’t believe it. We are sold on shopping this new way for us. We absolutely love our TV. The men came in, took it out of the box, set it up and pluged it in to see if it worked and we were set to go. So simple. Also we couldn’t believe the price. We did shop around to see what we wanted. Amazon can’t be beat.

but if you start adding motion, all i can this is the MOST AMAZING piece of junk ever. with amp on, it looks like a cheap video camera filmed content. but if i turn it off, it looks better, until you get a lot moving content on screen like an explosion or race cars. i can’t decide to to turn amp on or off. so i decided to turn the tv off and give plasma another turn. what’s the point of paying an extreme premium, to get less screen and features you don’t want on, can’t decide to leave on, or have to turn on/off to watch this or that? let’s not mention the poor lighting issue. damn tv can’t make up it’s mind. i could go on and on about couple of other issues, but i’d rather just let you know that samsung uses 2 other companies panels on these tv’s and it’s makes for horrible, and i mean HORRIBLE viewing angles. if for some reason you like lcd’s deficiencies and samsungs, make sure you get a SQxx or SSxx panel, but preferably a SQxx. it’s on the side of the tv, and hopefully on the outside so you can be sure.

Great TV and was going to purchase but the TOC Red personally looks terrible and is a distraction to me. Decided to go with the UN55B8000. A slightly techcially advanced set, 240Hz vs 120Hz refresh and 2 ms pixel response time vs 4ms. TOC on the 8000 is Gray/Clear which IMO looks much better.
