 Beautiful TV with great DLNA support May 11, 2010

Got this baby a little cheaper about a month ago -- Amazon's 2 year interest free promo made me jump.
I find myself to be a tech geek and this TV filled my needs. WMP sharing on networked computers works well with the built-in media player the TV has. As long as it has an avi extension, it will show up (and play). I watched a 1080p MKV that just needed the mkv extension changed to avi. Quality was stunning. Have not encountered anything that the media player can't play.
I noticed an update for the TV yesterday, which finally fixed the Netflix and other Internet@TV stuff. Netflix streaming works well for anyone familiar with the way it works.
ToC is barely noticeable (but who cares really).
my setup:
Samsung 7.1 (interacts with TV)
XBOX 360
UVERSE HD
HTPC
using HDMI/Optical only
Happy buyer!

This is my first HD TV and I have to say its pretty awesome. The picture is crazy good, sometimes it almost seems too good. Like you're no longer watching a movie, but rather actors on a set. It was a little trippy at first but it was easy to get used to.
The first time you turn on the tv it will walk you through a set up routine. I liked this because it got me familiar with the tv and everything got set up right. Using all of the features is really easy. Like navigating through all the menus and features or switching between different components. Speaking of components I just found out that when the tv is off and you turn on your blue ray, the tv will turn itself on all by itself and automatically switch to the blueray input - pretty cool in my book.
The reason I picked this TV was because of the great Samsung reviews on CNET and for the ability to play Netflix. I've got to say that Netflix on the TV is awesome. It's way better than watching movies on your computer, way better.
The only issue I have right now isn't really the TV's fault. My streaming from Netflix gets spotty sometimes and the shows I'm watching will stop and re-buffer multiple times. I blame my internet connection and not the TV.
One unexpected benefit I've gotten is pulling up the weather on Yahoo!. In the past I would have to turn on my computer to check the weather and this could take a couple of minutes. Now I just turn on the TV and click the Yahoo! button, click on the weather and there it is. I can be in and out in 30 seconds. I'm pretty happy with my new TV.
Great Samsung HD TV 2010 July 11, 2010

Awesome HDTV
Contrast ratio rivals a plasma TV. The only time you notice that you own an LCD Tv is when the lights are off in the room & the video includes shadows or dark scenes.
Great TV and Great Amazon Service July 14, 2010

Great TV and a very responsive Amazon customer service after a troubling start.
I was extremely disappointed when I found a big dent on the back panel after I unpacked it from the box. It looked as if something big and sharp dropped on it. I hooked it up anyway and found the picture amazing despite the TV looked like something that should never have left the factory (the QA must be sleeping that day).
I wrote Amazon about it and within 24 hours, they took the initiative and ordered me a replacement unit and to be delivered within 3 days. The delivery crew was polite and helped me to disassemble my original TV to take it away in the original box. No hassle and no problem.
Great picture quality but the sound system is a bit on the low side. It also generates a lot of heat. Nevertheless, overall, this set is better than the other non-Samsung sets that I own. Will go back to Samsung and Amazon for my next purchase despite the premium price paid.
 TV is great - Netflix not working June 2, 2010

The TV itself is great: picture quality, sound, design.
BUT: If you are thinking about buying this particular model because of its internet features: Think twice. Until today (06/01/2010) I have not been able to play a single movie from Netflix. Also the most recent update did not resolve this issue. I can connect to Netflix and even see my Instant Queue, but the TV freezes when I select a movie to watch. I have to unplug the power to make the TV usable again. Yes, just like a Windows computer.
Since I wanted to buy a Blu-Ray player anyway, I now bought an LG-BD550 which is actually able to stream Netflix properly. With the combination of TV and Blu-Ray player I am happy now - except that I have to use 2 remote controls to watch a streamed movie from Netflix.
So my advice is... if you want to stream Netflix from this TV, save the extra bucks on the internet feature from Samsung and buy the model without it.
