An Outstanding TV with Some Quirks
on July 30, 2013

Overall the picture quality is outstanding and it keeps getting better with firmware updates. However, the TV requires a considerable amount of adjustment to get it just right. I find the built-in Netflix app does a mediocre job of upconverting SD material to 1080P compared to Netflix on an external streaming device that another company considers its hobby.
The major problem with the TV is the "microdimming" in the standard mode, which really should be labeled "macrodimming." If a good part of the picture is dark, the whole picture gets dark. For example, if one is watching a concert where the performers are spotlighted, the spotlighted area dims excessively when the rest of the stage is dark. Bright white credits are reduced to a dull hard to read gray when they are on a black background.
There should be a settings control that would allow one to control the amount of microdimming, such as "Off, Low, Medium or High."
The other problem is the clouding of the screen noticeable in very dark scenes.
These two drawbacks are why I gave the TV four out of five stars. Even if Samsung just gave a settings control to the microdimming, I would give the TV a 5th Star.
I bought this item recently. Setting it up was easy. I do not have a local TV provider (I use IPTV) and could not program the IR Blaster to work with my box. The sound is low. I had to use external speakers (through analog) which you can't control the volume through the TV remote. I tried the 2to3D option, not great but acceptable. The picture quality is excellent right out-the-box. I did not calibrate it yet. The remote control is excellent also with an excellent trackpad. Did not use the MIC feature yet.
Cons: can't program ir blaster, very limited app selection, very low audio volume
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Smart, Simple and Convenient TV - The Best!

A great TV....like being at the movies! Very clear picture and brilliant colors. You feel like your in the scene. Love the smart features and apps - great to be able to play movies without a DVD or Blu-Ray player and music without a CD player - all streamed! Highly recommend to anyone who loves movies, apps, and quality tech stuff.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, great picture quality, easy to use
Cons: no numbers on remote control, expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

Remote Controll

I wish this Smart TV came with a remote with buttons and numbers.............. Other than that so far good.
Excellent clarity and SmartTV features. Excellent brightness.. WIFI connectivity and 3D performance are very good. Color is very good but not as good as the best plasma TV's.This TV is not as good as Samsung's UN60F8000 in clarity or absolute reproduction of colors(especially reds). This new slim design is excellent, perhaps the best in the industry. Unfortunately,sound quality is lacking in this TV, but that is true of most plasma and LED TV's today. If you cannot afford the 60 inchF8000 and you want an LED TV, buy this set.
Cons: black levels are so-so, colors very goodnot great, speakers mediocre
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best TV I've seen, with one caveat
on July 6, 2013

Outstanding picture quality - stunning HD and 3D performance - and rich in features. Only negative is problem seemingly common to most LED TVs - screen uniformity, otherwise known as "cloud" effect. Noticeable in screen corners in dark scenes, otherwise not an issue. Overall, a big bang for the buck.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: screen uniformity
I would recommend this to a friend!

LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT

I love the design of it. I came into the store wanting to buy a 60" Samsung led smart on blackfriday week. i saw it, looked around just for fun. Then i was driven to another 60" led smart TV that was 3d TV, and next to that was this jem. i saw it and i loved it. the brightness, the color, speed, the size, and the look, all this for a great value. after a full week of using it. i can honestly say that this TV is the best for its value. and its class. it doesn't even really need a sound bar because the audio is so much better than most led TV now days. and getting 4 3d glasses was a steal. I love the smart remote that it comes with unlike some smart TV Samsung. the voice control is fun to work with and the simplicity of the remote is great. having being able to control everything with it. Why get those cheaper one when they will be outdated in a year. get this TV and im sure you wont be disappointing for a lot of years to come. think about it a TV is a good investment for you. you use it more than other stuff. so go big or go home.
