I bought it at Costco, mine was a returned item so there was an additional 25% reduction in price. I got it for just $1025, regular price was $1425. Three things it doesn't have, 3-D, Skype or internet browsing, more on that in a momment. Those would cost another $1000 to have in their newest and best models. I soon noticed that when the whole screen is black, there seems to be some kind of faint light spill-over from behind the screen. This may cause me to return it, but I have time to decide about that, but once the screen has a picture, it's not noticed. The remote has the familiar four direction arrows and centered Enter key, the problem is they are not each defined by touch alone, so you are almost always forced to looked at the remote to be sure you are using the right key. I noticed the newer remotes have fixed this problem. Ok, so the picture it makes is really great!, but how about the Smart TV? When you go into the Smart TV screen, which is beautifully arranged, you... Read more

I purchased this tv at SAMS for 1400.00 and its totally awesome. I previously owned another SAMSUNG LCD (still in use) and a VIZIO LED. This TV beats them both in every aspect. I compared this tV at Best Buy (where it was selling for $200.00 more)and the color and clarity could not be mathched by any of the other brands that they had on display. I placed the TV in our upstairs TV room and connnected to my wireless N (cisco) with no problem. NETFLIX looks awesome when compared with my other two TV sets. Like any of the new TV sets that come with a good group of APPS, navigating with the controller does get irritating but thats an issue with all of the TVs that are on the market. Invest in a remote with a keyboard and that will resolve your issues.
This TV beats out the Sharp AQUOS (with QUATTRON) and the new Sony Bravia's. If samsung makes a 60 or 70 inch version of this TV I might buy it.
AWESOME TV.

This is an amazing TV. The picture is fantastic, as is the sound. Another reviewer here said the sound was lacking, but I have no idea what he was talking about. I have the TV mounted above the fireplace mantle, and the rear-facing speakers can bounce off the flat wall, so perhaps that's why mine sounds better.

I got this TV primarily because it connects to my wireless 802.11n network (it supports both the 2.4GHz and 5Ghz bands), and it supports DLNA. I have an extensive video collection that I stream to my PS3's using software called PS3 Media Server. This is just a DLNA server, so I wanted a TV that could stream using my existing server. This TV fits that bill perfectly.

The way you select the DLNA server is using the Source button on the remote. The DLNA server appears as a source, just like HDMI, DVI and PC. Once there, you just navigate the folders to find the video you want. It couldn't be easier.

$1500 plus tax at Sam's Club.
