I have researched every brand of TV via internet and store visit in the last 6 months and narrowed it down to Samsung. After deciding I wasn’t interested in 3D, I looked for the best 2D TV with the best Picture. With out a question, this is the best 2D TV on the market today. First, the out of the box plug and play was super easy. I was expecting to calibrate the settings and had CNETs suggestions ready. To my amazement the factory picture settings were almost spot on. The main take away from this review is that the picture quality is really the best I’ve seen. If there is only one con to this unit, like other LEDs, the picture’s colors do get slightly washed out at very extreme angles. Other than that no other issues (no corner ghosting). Even the sound I really believe is better than average, but I will upgrade to a sound bar for that theater/sports volume needed. Again, picture picture picture quality is amazing and you should buy this TV.

I only gave this TV three stars at first because movies were unwatchable on it. I had tried the suggestions to no avail. Today, after switching the “auto motion plus” feature off on the correct (blu ray player) input (not the LED motion plus – you can turn that one on if you like), the movies look like movies again and they look great.
So now I no longer have any complaints about this TV and I am a very satisfied customer.
Great blacks, no bleeding, great picture (some adjustment may be needed), internet@tv is neat, sleek looking, I could go on and on.
5 stars now. Good job Samsung.

Like many other people, I purchased this TV after an extensive research on the net in addition to side-by-side comparison at Best Buy and Costco warehouse. Costco doesn’t have exactly same model but it was same line with lower number, UN55C6300. This Samsung LED TV simply blew away the competition by big margin. The other LCD and LED models looked simply pale and pallid in color.
I ordered this TV on July 5, 2010 and received it on July 8, 2010, just 3 days after I clicked ‘Place Order.’ There’s no need to say it was a very prompt and fast delivery. The picture quality is just as many other people said who purchased Samsung LED TV. It’s stunningly clear and so life-like. My wife and I were watching a Boston RedSox game on New England Sports Network the other day, and she commented that the game looked like being played right in front her. My living room is rather small for 55-inch TV, but I wanted a big TV as this is going to be my main TV replacing 40-inch LCD I had last couple of years. I tweaked the TV settings a little bit before I went back to factory setting, which should satisfy most of the people. I tested this TV with Avatar Blu Ray using PlayStation 3. Boy… You should see the clarity and crispiness to believe it. It was jaw-dropping experience for my whole family. After I closed my jaw, I took the Avatar Blu Ray upstairs to see it on 46-inch Samsung LCD, curious to feel the difference between LCD and LED. The difference was rather obvious. I thought LCD was clear enough. The color on LED was much brighter, more vibrant, and richer. Deep-richer… This is not 3-D, but it looked as if we were watching 3-D because of its richness in color and clarity.
The sound from the TV is very impressive as well. Some people mentioned about their dissatisfaction with TV speakers, but I thought it was more than adequate and loud enough. Many times I have to turn down the volume because my daughter watches her Nickelodeon programs too loud. The only thing I am not quite happy about this TV is the remote control. It does its job but it looks a little cheap.
By the way, your cable provider makes a whole lot of difference in picture quality. I have DirecTV as my satellite service. I received a number of calls from AT&T U-verse asking me to switch to their service, and decided to check their picture quality at one of their stores in Southern California. I have to tell you, it’s not quite the same. DirecTV service costs more but when it comes to picture quality there’s no comparison. No matter how superb your TV is, if the source of the program is not up there, your costly investment won’t quite satisfy you. Even the most expensive LED TV is not a magic box which can turn fuzzy 480p into clear 1080p.
So, in conclusion, it’s quite a premium to pay another $1,000 to buy this LED TV over comparable LCD model (LN55C6500), but I am glad I decided on LED purely based on its unequivocal picture quality. At least, I could pay off $2,400 over 24 months without paying a cent of interest.

After having burnt pixel problems with a Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV about 5 yrs ago, I was hesitant to get anything LCD related again. But I did all my research and bought this TV and I am truly impressed. First thing I did was shut off the “Motion Plus” — because only idiots want to watch film content in a cheesy video-like motion. This was the absolute first thing I made sure that I could change if I bought this TV. And thank God it had that setting to change, because they certainly didn’t advertise that part. Picture-quality is excellent, colors vibrant, black levels nice (precision dimming is great), etc. I have my cable box and PS3 all hooked up w/ HDMI. Samsung did a pretty nice job with this. I didn’t test out the internet functionality, but honestly, I don’t care for this — I think there’s something called…a computer?

Tried IPTV and Samsung Apps. They are extremely slow or not working at all. I have Comcast high speed internet (15Mb/s). Tested the Ethernet cable to TV using computer and it shows at least 4Mb/s. But, TV’s speed test shows only 200kb/s or no connection. Contacted with Samsung tech support, they answers are “The TV works as expected. Your connection is slow or IPTV service maybe blocked by your ISP and you need to contact your ISP”.
Tested the same LAN connection with a Sony Blu-Ray player BDP-BX37. Everything works as expected including Internet features. Access YouTube from Sony player just like using it on my laptop. All I feel is that Samsung tech support just want to hide the problem of their product by fooling around their customers. However, as a computer and internet Veteran for 20 years, I don’t buy their arguments.
