For the value, a fine LED Television, one drawback

I'll start with the good stuff. The picture is amazing. It's large, light weight, the stand is substantial compared to the Sony in the same size. You don't really need the mounting straps, but after my cat knocked over my 2 month old sony, I put it on anyway. It's easy to set up. The menus are intuitive. 3D was beautiful, but it really needs a larger screen for better affect. Glasses are light. Channel up and down, pause and play works great with the X1 box. Now for the bad stuff, and why I knocked a star off. My system includes an X1 cable box from Comcast, a Xbox One, and a Sony blue ray home theater in a box. I have my hdmi out from X1 going to my hdmi in to the Xbox One, to the hdmi input 1 on my surround sound, to the HDMI 1 (ARC) on my tv. It worked flawlessly on the Sony that this tv replaced. I turned on my xbox, my tv would turn on, my surround sound would turn on, and everything was on the correct input. Volume and channel controls worked great with the X1 remote. After setting up the Samsung tv and enabling ARC control, when the tv turns on, the surround sound would switch from HDMI 1 input to TV input. There was no way to change this behavior. It took a day or two to figure out, but I had to reroute the HDMI cable from the input on the surround sound to HDMI 1 on the tv, route the output of the surround sound to HDMI 2 on the tv, and then run an optical cable from optical out on the tv, to optical in on the surround sound. Now everything works great, but the cabling is much messier. And you can't set the output to dolby digital. The remote is horrible. I can appreciate the touch pad on the remote. And I can appreciate the remote functioning as a pointer when interacting with the TV's menus. However, if I'm using the touch pad, it should disable the pointer like function and vice-versa. It makes for selecting a menu option difficult. The remote also lacks a number pad. While it makes for a very comfortable form in your hand, it also makes it very difficult to use. If you want to tune directly to a channel, you have pull up the number pad on the tv, and then select the channel you want. The design of this remote is horrible. The tv does 3d well, but you really need a larger screen size to get a better 3d affect. I watched Pompeii in 3D mode, and while the tv did a very good job at rendering scenes, there were parts where you could tell the affect was meant to have a larger scale. Like embers floating around, it was limited to the screen size, it didn't fill your entire view. Also, I'm not sure if it's because of the setup I have, but if I ordered a movie through Comcast, I had to manually turn on the 3D mode on the tv, and then turn on the glasses. Which brings me to another problem...the button to turn the glasses on is very small, and almost flush. Also, the glasses are powered by a small cr2016 battery that really doesn't last very long. I'd much rather have a pair of glasses with a rechargeable batter. I think I'm going to try a pair of active 3d glasses from NVidia. All in all, I'd recommend this tv. It's a nice tv, if on the pricey side. The tv is quiet, cool, light, has a great stand. But I'd also warn people to look at their entire entertainment center. I don't know if a Samsung receiver would have the same issue with the changing input or not. You might also want to consider getting a Harmony remote for this, since the remote can be a challenge.

This TV is more of a pain then a help I would not dugest getting a so called smart TV

Can't write a review in 50 characters why even try

The picture is not consistently sharp and the lower 1/2 of the picture is occasionally pink. Yes---pink. Need better instructions for use of remote and features such as Utube.

I got this just to upgrade my TV to something thinner and better (LED). It was much more than that. I found that this TV changes 2D HD content to 3D. The 3D is menu adjustable. Baseball, Golf and many well shot TV shows take on new depth. I actually like the 2D to 3D picture better than the 3D programing on DirecTV or the 3D content in the Smart Hub. It has a more real feel/look. Can not wait for NFL this fall to see if it will be enjoyable to watch in 3D. HBO GO built in along with most the apps anyone uses on a regular basis. Goodbye Roku Box. Built in TV guides for your local service - OTA, cable or satellite. This came with a free Samsung 3D Blu-Ray Player, two pair of active 3D glasses plus it was on sale. I played a Blu-Ray movie last night and decided to see if it would switch 2D to 3D. It did. This also has possibilities of being something fun to watch.

Love this 3d TV it is very easy to use after you get use to the new smart remote. Love voice command option!!

Beautiful Design, Fantastic Picture and sound quality

THE INSTRUCTION ARE NOT TO EASY TO FOLLOW. I REALLY DO NOT KNOW TO USE A LOT OF THE FIXTURES. TOO COMPLICATED.

After owning a samsung I will never get any other brand of TV. The clarity is amazing and this TV has so many useful features that I actually make use of on a daily basis packed into it for its price.
