    "Best tv ever made"

    by lvllcbl on September 25, 2008

    Pros: Pros: The tv itself is stunning. The picture quality is equal to that of even the new Pioneer Kuro.

    Cons: A bit pricy, but considering the soon to come competition, this tv is going to be a bargain.

    Summary: "Every year a new piece of technology comes out and makes last year's equipment outdated. Well, I had just bought the 81f (last year's top model) and then came across this beauty in the store. Why did I choose this tv?

    1. I will put my money towards a Samsung product any day. Sony products look nice, but you end up paying more for the name.

    2. The tv can render images that you might think can only be done with 120mhz refresh, but yet somehow this tv with the 120 turned off still renders amazing views.

    3. The tv can reach black levels that no other lcd can. Given, there are new lcds coming in a month or more that will compete and they will boast a 200mhz or greater refresh rate. But, they will cost at least 1k more.

    4. I am not a big fan of the 120 mhz refresh rate, but since I can turn it off and have near Plasma tv like imagery, I find myself more than happy with this tv. Also, the 120 and above refresh rates really bother my eyes. It might sound odd, but I can catch the tv while it does that and it bothers me for some reason. Given, 120 allows for some amazing images, it just is not for me.

    To summarize my poorly written review, I must say that this is the best tv out there right now. The other televisions that will soon be arriving stateside will boast the same tech and might have some shiny new gadgets, but from what I have seen from IFA this is going to be in the top three list for tvs in 2008-2009.

    One last thing. The pre-loaded content and the RSS feeds are nice but not noteworthy. Buy this tv for its' amazing picture quality and great technology

    I think you are confusing 120hz with Auto Motion Plus and although 120hz makes AMP possible they are not the same thing. What 120hz also makes possible is 24p film output without 3:2 pulldown which looks amazing on this tv.
