TV picture is excellent, various functions are nice to have and device hook up is easy.
All content used: Comcast Cable TV, iPod, Home PC (photos, music and videos), DVR and VCR all look great. Using an up convert Samsung V9800 DVR/VCR. Have not purchased a Blu Ray yet, waiting for BD 2.0.
The internet access is really nice; the widgets of news, weather, etc. look good, easy to use and fast.
Ability to display art and other content is ok. Art looks very good. Would be nice to access content updates from the internet, but so far only from USB, which I have not tried.
Updating the firmware, done twice so far, is simple.
One issue is the slow (sometimes very slow) ability to show photos when there are many photos on your PC. TV appears to be hung, but actually just cataloging. Samsung needs to fix this if they are really serious about multimedia. Would be nice if Apple music played. And why can't you play music with your photos? The included Media Server software is dismal, and I'm being kind. Use windows media player instead. And you can't find updated Samsung server software online.
Hanging the unit was not fun. Recessed mounting holes don't match the mounting kits various screw sizes. Ended up using the long ones and used the spacers to make up the space. (this was a kit from Costco, great price) I suppose if I paid for a Samsung mount this would not have been an issue. Lifting the TV is difficult since the "touch of color" is just a plastic piece with no strength, and the TV itself has no secure handles. I wonder how many people have dropped the unit or damaged the plastic border. Now that's its mounted though, it looks great.
One last item, if you remove the power too long you lose your settings.
Net, would buy this again. Looking forward to firmware/software updates to fix the above issues. Hopefully Samsung is working on them.
