"Outstanding picture."
Pros: Great black levels, color accuracy, loads of tweaks, good screen brightness even in brightly lit rooms, benefits of 240 Hz are notable, good contrast control for shadow detail.
Cons: The picture can be a bit garish out of the box and needs a bit of tweaking to approach perfection. A bit expensive at MSRP. Look for it at 2200 to 2300.
Summary: This TV has probably the best picture I have seen yet in a LCD screen. The colors are crisp, and the picture is as close to completly free of jaggies/artifacts that I've observed. I would recommend watching a movie right out of the box without making any changes to the picture settings to get a feel for its potential then go to the suggested setting levels recommended by c-net and make small adjustments from there. Out of the box the colors can be a bit garish. The factory brightness and contrast settings will make even the best cinemaphotography look a bit like a soap opera by overwhelming the lighting polarization and overemphasizing reflections on skin. Once the colors, contrast, and brightness are adjusted be prepared for a great cinema experience. Dejudder and antiblur are good with few noticeable jaggies in all but the most intense motion. The film Watchmen was pure eye candy. If you haven't seen it yet this movie raises the bar in home cinema experience. A good 5.1 surround system only adds to the wow factor. I've been an amateur photographer for about 25 years and color accuracy, contrast, color saturation,and shadow detail make or break film or photography. I didn't think there would be much difference between 120 and 240 Hz but this screen blazes new territory for the home theater. This screen represents the next level of LCD video clarity and smoothness. The Sammy LCD provides the best balace between price and picture quality yet. There may be one or two TV's out there with a slightly better picure but for the price this is at the top of my list. As for any expensive appliance, get the longest extended warranty available. Check out Best Buy if there is one in your area to see this one.
