Beatiful image quality on standard defination, older movies look new due to the 200Hz scan. HD picture quality is really really good, must be seen to be believed! As good as the Sony motion flow.
-
Stand assembly initially a little tricky, also not quite as aethetically pleasing as our older oval Samsung stand. Other than that no bad points at all.

Overall a superb TV
The 200hz makes a big difference to the picture quality
Internet connection is useful via the widgets, not enough widgets are available though
-
Static dust attraction is quite high
Sound quality is average (not enough bass) compared to the other fantastic features of the TV

Team this screen up with a good quality Bluray home theatre and you have a winning combination, I have the Panasonic BT 200 and together they give an amazing viewing experience picture quality is absolutely stunning highly recommended, I looked at hundreds of reviews and Iots of screens and I can honestly say this was a really good decision.

As to be expected the sound is fairly average as the speakers fire downwards

Very asthetically pleasing TV. Packed with features such as USB socket, 4 HDMI's are a bonus for connecting all your other bits and pieces such as games consoles and sky box, homecinema etc... Nice remote control, good design and good picture quality.
-
Sound is rather poor compared to other makes and models. However, most HDTV's are pretty flat on sound these days so h/cinema system is worth it if you are spending this amount on a TV to complete the home cinema experience. Menu systems a little lengthy to work through.

Sound quality needs to be adjsuted on the bass and trebble settings to make the tv sound acceptable. Not a big issue as we use a 7.1 surround system

if i had to give a fault about this tv, then maybe the quality of sound without surround sound system is a little bit dull, but don't let this put you off, overall its simply the best i've ever had.

Nice sleek design the tv case is very stylish
Excellent delivery time from Currys
Excellent sharp image and great sound
A great TV for the money spent overall but BEWARE! It does have its drawbacks...
-
Idiotic interface when using the Tv guide - why show every useless channel instead of favourite channels only? Comms with Samsung confirms no fix for this problem.
The media stuff IMHO is pointless, especially if you have a PS3 or 360 etc...
The remote control is a bit too chunky. It is also a very weak remote - you specifically have to point it at the corner of the TV near the IR receiver to get a response which is also incredibly slow to react.
It would have been nice to have a preset function allowing you configure the 200hz function and game mode for one HDMI source but for different uses, especially since the PS3 is a games machine (where games mode is best but sacrifices movie quality) and blu ray player (requires 200hz technology) but all is run by one HDMI cable.

An excellent TV with lots of features and a lovely design. Have not used the internet@tv at the moment as I have not purchased a dongle for it as think they are a bit pricey. Picture quality is very good and with an added blueray player films look great in hi-def. Even better managed to get this TV for just over £700.
-
Sound quality is poor, I have tried adjusting the settings and it is still awful. I don't think that this is particular problem with Samsung's but with flat screen tv's in general. Would benefit from home cinema which I will be getting asap.
