Excellent TV! by GamerMatt
Well now that i've spent some time with this TV, i'll give it a review. I've had roughly 6 weeks with this TV. First off, im a gamer, and a movie watcher. I was dead set on finding the right 3D TV for my needs. Primarily used for gaming, it was very important that the television didnt have input lag. So i needed the "game" mode. While im on that topic, i'd like to mention to others that even when game mode is off, the input lag is NOT noticeable. I was very pleased to find that. As thats very important to gamers. Being VERY satisfied there, i didnt waste any time, i had to test the 3D. Honestly, its the best presentation of 3D i've seen on any demo, TV, or theatre. Im hooked on it! Im very pleased with my purchase!!! Not much else to say, its an excellent TV!!!
Superbly Entertaining by Mark R Mazza
I've been an audio/videophile for 30 years. This is my 9th HD set. I purchased one of the first CRT HD RCA 39" (275 back-breaking lbs.); paid 5k for a Mitsu projection (big box), and I have a 5k Sony SXRD 60" in the living room. I could talk specs, but I'm not going to bother. Picture and sound quality has reached a plateau in electronics. Sure, you can argue details, but follow me here if you can. This Samsung in just a few words: provides an extremely pleasing entertainment experience. The clarity is stunning, the brightness is immensely satisfying, and the eye-popping color is just beautiful. The TV has a unique feel in a dark room sitting 4 feet from it. The thin bezel makes the picture appear to float and the motion of the characters in scenes is smooth in a very distinct curious was. I was very surprised at how, even a simple made for TV series like Legend of the Seeker, came alive with a vibrancy that I've never seen in a flat panel. In a word this TV is stunning.
The second point is the 2D to 3D conversion. In my opinion it's fantastic. No it doesn't look just like 3D, but it's a very admirable, clean feature that delivers exceptionally well. In fact, I prefer watching 2D with the 3D converter on....it's just brings you into the story. Remember everything any of us are saying is subjective and you can't know for sure that you're going to like something unless you try it yourself.
The final point is 3D. Now I see what this is all about. 3D implementation in today's home theater market is what I'd characterize as somewhat unnatural. What I mean is, it's not like you're in the Grand Canyon while watching Freeman's River At Risk in 3D. It's like you're looking at cutouts at various distances from where your sitting. Don't get me wrong, running the rapids in the canyon was awesome and a very cool experience bringing you way closer to the real thing than standard 2D video. The most important point about 3D that I've discovered is the effort made during the digital processing of the movie. The Canyon DVD had a lot more ghosting in it and it was a strain at times to sort of focus because the technology tricks your eyes and strains them in a weird way. But then, I put Clash of The Titans into the player and it had uncanny definition and barely noticeable ghosting. In fact most of the time, I didn't notice it at all. So from these 2 DVD's, I've concluded that the absolute best program material is required to produce exquisite 3D. COT was an experience that I loved period. So don't get into 3D on the cheap. You need a good set like the 46D7000 and high quality program material.
Great TV by Chris Fulton
I just got this TV and I must say it is a very high quality TV.
As far as complaints go, there is only one in that I do notice a little bit of clouding. For those who don't know what that is...it's when the screen is on a black picture (rarely) and it appears as if there are clouds all over the screen or just in each corner. This is only a problem if you're scared of clouds, otherwise it doesn't affect the picture at all. I guess that's not really a complaint because it doesn't bother me.
A lot of people were also complaining about the HDMI sockets being on the side of the TV. This is not true, it's at least 2 inches in from the right side on the back of TV and I don't see any cables coming out of the side.
Overall, this is a great item and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
