"Garbage, Picture Quality is horrible thanks to DNIe"
Pros: Multiple inputs, HDMI. Built in Tuner.
Cons: Horrible picture, Lots of Pasterization. Wrong Colors. DNIe DNIe DNIe!!!
Summary: I had this TV for more than 3 months. I wish I had returned it while I had the chance DNIe makes the picture look so bad. People faces look terrible with blotches of gray, pink, and sometimes green, there is so much pasterisation in the picture that some material is just unwatchable. Dark scenes have green tint and look smeared. For example some closeup scenes in LORT look really bad and this is not a low cost production dvd. Not even HDTV channels look good. The only time this tv looks ok is when there are no people in the picture because its hard to compare picture to the real life and what the true colors should be. And you can forget about Standard Definition material, you can't even look at it. DNIe is the reason for all of the problems it ovedrives the contrast and overmphasises colors additionally it crushes detail in dark areas. There is no way of turning it off even in the service menu. I know this problem is not isolated to my tv because i've checked other ones in the store and they all have the same problem. Too bad I've done it after the fact of buying this piece of #$@#. If you want to see it for yourself bring your dvd and play it on one of the TVs in the store, look at peoples' faces in the movie and how bad they look. No amount of calibration will change that, trust me I've tried it all. I even spoke to certified ISF technician and he told me that there is no way he can make this TV look any better because of DNIe dynamic adjusments. So do yourself a favor and stay away from SAMSUNG TVs that have this piece of garbage called DNIe in them. Unless Samsung realizes what terrible product thay made and gives you the option to turn DNIe off. But they dont care about consumers all they care is to trick you into buying their TVs by false promises of DNIe "enhancements". Buy Panasonic or Philips instead and save yourslef the frustration, I wish I did.

This tv has an awsome picture second to none . The clarity is perfect even with people . Someone does not know how to set up a plasma or is being paid by the competition. IMO
