Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you are looking for the best picture quality for the buck, you have found it. Samsung put the money where it matters most and if you don't care about 3D or a bunch of inputs this is a great buy. This is the hands down winner for a Back Lit LED TV at this price point. Pros: Great Picture quality (with a few adjustments, see below) Really good Sound Quality. Better than most. Matte Screen (not Glossy), so low reflections in bright rooms Full Array LED backlighting (versus "Edge lit" Fluorescent as most LCD's have) Great styling. The angled corners on the bottom, the large base and thin bezel all come together to give it a sophisticated look. Cons: Stock picture settings. Picture is a bit soft and washed out with the stock configuration. You need to adjust the settings to get it to really shine to it's full potential. I used the Display Mate DVD to professionally calibrate the screen and I used those settings as a starting point. My personal preference is for a bit more "pop" and a sharper picture and I think I've come up with the ideal settings for this particular TV. I listed all the "Default" settings, the "Display Mate Calibration DVD" Settings, and my Personal Settings below. Hope that helps you find the settings that work best for you. Default Settings: Mode: Standard Backlight 18 Contrast 95 Brightness 45 Sharpness 20 Color 50 Tint: G/R 50/50 ****************************************** Calibrated with "Display Mate" DVD: Mode: Dynamic Backlight 20 Contrast 100 Brightness 45 Sharpness 0 Color 41 Tint: G/R 50/50 **************************************** My Settings: Mode: Dynamic Backlight 18 Contrast 98 Brightness 45 Sharpness 60 Color 50 Tint: G/R 50/50 * Color Tone "Standard" and "Screen Fit" in Picture Options.
