With a brilliant 1080p display, 60,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and multiple HDMI inputs, this HDTV provides a stunning focus for your multimedia center.

My only real complaint is that the TV only has one component input - my Wii, PS2 (yes... PS2), and DVD player all feature component as their only hi-def output (technically the Wii only supports enhanced definition). I'll be getting an HDMI-supporting DVD player soon, but I'll need to get an external source selector for the Wii and PS2.
The good news is that the TV has 3 HDMI inputs as well as a VGA input (with RCA sound inputs). I can hook up my laptop using high resolution (and watch Hulu.com in hi-def!) and the 3 HDMI inputs mean I have room to grow for a few years.
I'm picky with TV brands, so while Samsungs may cost more than say, Vizio or Sceptre, I'm comforted by the fact that it comes from one of the top manufacturers. Having worked in a TV repair shop, I know that Samsungs are much easier to get replacement parts for and also repair manual availability is higher. This means that if the TV ever breaks after warranty, repairs will be much cheaper and less stressful.
What's great about it: Trim looks classy, the picture is amazing, and sounds great as well
What's not so great: Only 1 component input, remote's a little clunky
I would recommend this to a friend!

is 60 hz enough for using the TV as a computer monitor
We want primarily to use out TV as a computer monitor, we want to watch movies from internet (f.e. Netflix), would it be enough for a good picture quality 60hz?
My LCD monitor can only support 60Hz and 70Hz anyway, so if you were in my shoes you would be fine. If you have a monitor which supports 120Hz already, you ~might~ notice a difference on the TV, but most monitors only support 60-70Hz anyway.

what's the difference between a 60hz and a 120hz tv?
120Hz means the TV can refresh the image twice as fast as a 60Hz set can (technically 120 times per second). This helps when watching fast sideways-moving images because there will be less tearing or blurring. I only have a 60Hz TV though, and I honestly could not tell the difference when comparing the two at the store.
