My Experience: I have had this HDTV for 2 months now. I am very pleased at the ease of use and features. This is my first HDTV, and i must say i am glad i got a Samsung as their products have never let me down. DVD's and regular broadcasts look very good, it doesnt create any pixelation. The image is soo smooth. You cant tell the pixels, even when you are close. HD OTA broadcasts look very good. Cant wait to put a Blue Ray movies. I also have my PC conected thru VGA, and it looks very smooth. Theres no screen door efect. Image is sharp and easy to stare even under high sun light. Viewing angle is good. I can even control and play music and pictures from my PSP from the wiselink feature. Plenty features to make it an ultimate HDTV.

Problems: Speakers are good, and can be loud, but they arent top of the line speakers.(just 10w speakers)
No picture in picture.
A 1 second delay while changing channels, but faster with fav chan button.

Obviously not a 1080p.
