Had it just over a year and its still the best thing that happened to my living room! If you are having troubles on deciding look no further. Do yourself a favor and pick it up ASAP! It has price on it but as soon as you plug on your Playstation3 and run a Bluray or game you can easily forget about that price and just enjoy this trophy of labor. Cheers!!

I have had my set for almost a full year now. I have found a couple of problems that could have made this a great tv. * The first thing i want to point out is that the PIP (Picture in Picture) sucks like there's now tomorrow, you can only use it to watch RF signal, which means that if you're on your HDMI and want to watch HDMI/DVI 2 at the same time you can't. and in order to hear the sound from the second signal you need to go in a witch hunt, go into the audio options and change the audio setting, it sucks. *On the network settings sometimes the TV will change the connection setting by itself, I usually have it on wireless network but somehow it changes to the cable connection even though there's not even an Ethernet cable plugged in. *I recently had a Samsung technician come to my house to attempt to fix my TV set. The frame became unglued from the top right corner and on the bottom right side of the screen had a dark spot appear. Well the tech came prepare to change my screen and now it looks much better, but for the frame he said he's never seen this problem before and that Samsung's warranty doesn't cover "cosmetic issues" and he recommended that i fix it myself with some crazy glue or something, i dislike this idea very much. Too bad that my warranty is going to expire in four days. *The controller sucks, i also bought a 550 series and the controller on that TV set doesn't have the annoying wheel (the wheel is very unresponsive) (The set does give off a lot of heat, that combined with my PS3 and i don't have to turn on the heat during winter!!) This TV has excellent Video (the RF signal has the white lines on top after 10 minutes of use). Sound is OK for built it speakers. Info link is alirght but it could have been a lot better. I love the fact that you can plug in almost any external device. Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) is a great feature if you own compatible devices. Other than that this is a very good set. I just hope another firmware comes out fixing some of those issues.

I love this tv everything looks fantastic. I watch blu-rays via PS3 and the pitcher is amazing. I also watch netflix instant via the computer and you can't even tell it looks like it a DVD. The remote has a type of click wheel, its hard to use and i don't care for it. I have the tv hooked up to the internet so with a push of a button you get news and weather.
