"Beautiful set and great deal! Perfect except a tiny bit of glare."
Pros: excellent contrast and blacks, 24hz 5:5 pulldown, online prices are low
Cons: some glare from glossy panel
Summary: This set is fantastic! The black levels and brightness give this set amazing contrast capabilities. Colors look good too. Very customizable picture in Standard mode.
The AutoMotion Plus 120Hz is a cool effect and I love using it for video games. For movies, I don't like it because removes the film feel by making the motion very smooth (like a TV soap opera). Luckily you can set it individually for each input.
The main advantage of the set being 120Hz is that the TV will accept a 24Hz signal from Blu-ray or HD-DVD and do a 5:5 pulldown. This gives pure judder-free motion from 24Hz sources.
You will want to recalibrate the set; the out-of-the-box settings are far to vivid for normal viewing, and are obviously meant for show-room pop. Fortunately, the menus are easy to use so calibration isn't too difficult.
There are some amazing online deals for this set. I went to my local Circuit City and got them to match buy.com's price, and now amazon.com has it even cheaper.
My only complaint about the set is the glossy panel. There is some glare evident if the room is bright and the scene is dark. But it's not as bad as I feared it would be, and I'm keeping the set. If you have a bright room, wait a few months for the Samsung 69 series. Otherwise, don't hesitate to buy this set!
