Summary: I don't have all the gadgets and software to be able quantitatively
evaluate TV's but my eye's know what they like in TV's. I bought the 55" version of this series and found it to be good price to performance ratio. Bear in mind my perspective I'm coming from is an HDTV almost 8 years old. I found the color reproductions to be overall "good" and it didn't seem as bad as CNET's review put it. Also, I was very satisfied with the black levels as well. You can see 3 different shades of black on one persons clothing in Star Wars Blu ray movie. However, I spent good amount of time tweaking the settings on the TV to get there. I agree with the CNET review that the settings for video is lacking when compared to higher end ones. Video processing is average for quality. It does get blurry in some very fast action movie sequences. The resolution for 85-90% of your watching is very sharp and eye appealing. When I compare this TV to top of the line TV's it does well for the price. When I bought this TV the top of the line TV's were going 4 times more than this one for the same size. It does not have the best video processing and you will see artiacts of some kind in some places. The color accuracy is good but not excellent. User interface could be better. The streaming services work adequately. Wi-Fi took me less than 2 minutes to hook up to my 5 year old router. For 1/4 of the cost of the top of the line TV's most people would be satisfied with this TV's performance.
