I bought this TV at the end of December with the idea that it would be a bedroom or study room TV and it has more than exceeded expectations visually. Calibration is everything and once it was done properly, it looked great for broadcast TV, DVD's and a Wii. If you are not a calibration pro, as I am not, finding good starting points for settings can be found online by searching for calibration settings for this Samsung. Fine tune to taste. The PC input has worked acceptably for streaming video sources, too. The only downside has been the audio. The sound out of the built in TV speakers is ok, but I was really disappointed to find that the digital optical output does not send a 5.1 surround signal to my stereo receiver- this makes watching broadcast HD shows slightly less enjoyable. All things considered, though, its been a great purchase!
What's great about it: Picture quality is great, price was fair
