I was down to this set and a sony that was on sale for $799.00 but was last years model and not in stock. I decided to go with this over the sony even tho it was $100 more due to better contrast ratio, compairable color and sharpness of the picture and Samsung's good rep. I got it home and set up, which was not that hard at all. picture on analoge cable is good, clear digital programs on comcast are awsome. I connected my old Apex DVD player with composite line in jacks and the picture was better than I expected. The sound is perry good but could be a little better with more bass to it,but if you connect a surrond sound system to it this is not an issue at all. The remote is nice and has big easy to read buttons but its not a universal like some other brands include. I have Sony remote that I set up to use for all my stuff so thats not a problem anymore.
over all I am very pleased with this set's picture and a price match to this weeks sale price of $799 has me loving it even more.
What's great about it: good picture great blacks for an LCD
What's not so great: No S-video input for older DVD players, remote is not multi brand universal
