Samsung UN46B8000 46-Inch 1080p 240Hz LED HDTV

First-- the picture is superb. The 2010 Winter Olympics were simply stunning with the brightly-colored athletic gear. Great sources look, well, great.
The animated movie "Up" looked almost 3D, absolutely jaw dropping like you were in the movie with the characters.
Some modes need to be adjusted for the source. Motion smoothing does weird things to film-based sources making them look like video. Some may like it because there's the sensation that you are right in the room with the actors, but I find it less than appealing. On other material such as sports, it looks good.
With this great picture why the 3-star rating? The TV arrived with a bad remote-- a hugh hassle since the remote makes the access to all its features a snap. Samsung sent another remote but the second was also DIA. Samsung refused to send a technician to the house because "they don't do house calls for remotes." If this situation is not resolved, it will be a major blow to our enjoyment of the TV, something we intended to be in our living room for years to come. I will update this review if the situation improves but the 3-star rating will stay.

This TV has an absolutely fantastic picture. I looked at many LCD/LED/Plasma TVs in the stores before making this purchase and this looked the best. From the comfort of our couch without the distractions of the store it was even better.

***BUT*** It just stopped working after 4 days or about 25 hours.

I started searching and there is a known problem with other Samsung TVs.
Do an Internet search on "Samsung LCD TV won't turn on" or "Samsung LCD TV clicking noise"
Another note: I purchased the USB wireless device for the TV and it was not able to pick up a signal it did not even see the access point, but the Sony play station and my laptop are able to pick up a usable signal. The signal to the other devices are weak but at least they work. I will move the access point. Being this is one of Samsungs top models you would think the wireless access would have been included or if having to pay extra at least it should work better.

Hopefully it won't be a hassle getting it replaced. I saved a chunk of cash buying it on line. Time will tell if I should have bought locally.

Putting the viewing experience into words is very difficult. Watching movies that I've seen several times over is like watching them the first time, in a different perspective. It is definitely like watching things in person, you just have to experience it to believe it. I have my PS3 and Xbox 360 hooked up via HDMI. The picture with movies and games is absolutely amazing. Even HD channels have the feel of "being on set."

I was seriously on the fence about purchasing a new television to replace my 40" Samsung, which is only two years old. I was stalking this TV at Best Buy for quite a while (BTW the standard in-store demo does not do this TV justice). I am certainly glad I was able to find a fantastic deal on Amazon to give me the justification to make this purchase. I must say if you can afford the purchase, I certainly recommend this TV to you. I have not experienced any issues at all with this TV (sound, picture, operation, etc.).

This is by far the best television I have ever seen. It makes the characters seem like they are in the room with you. It takes some getting used to because it seems so real. The ultra-thin design lets it sit close to the wall. Well worth the money for an excellent television. Samsung is ahead of its time.

Excellent Product; great value! All I expected it to be, and MORE! Very quick delivery.
