1. I like it’s ultra slim design and its light weight. I didn’t needed more help than little help from my wife to carry the whole package to the second floor. I did it alone to carry off of my minivan and I’m not a wrestler. I did assembled the stand in a few minutes very easily. This is my first HDTV. I have been following HDTV technology for years but was until now that I was able to purchase it. I have watched a lot of TV’s since 5 years ago in every store display with every combination of inputs and I think I can notice when a movie is Blue Ray connected through HDMI or composite video to when a TV set is connected trough other Video inputs and video sources (DVD).

2. We just upgraded from a 10yr old huge tube tv to this. Granted that anything would be awsome in comparison, the picture is fabulous, its very light, thin, and energy efficient. It is weird not having any buttons on the tv itself, but I can kind of see why. Since it is so thin, the wire placement in the back is a bit strange, or different I should say from the monster tube tv we had. We had to get a HMDI cable to go with it to connect our DVD player, but other then that, no other item was needed. If you are going to mount it on the wall, you will need to purchase that separately. Luckily the DVD player we had was new enough to be an upconvert to Hi-def.

LED TV’s, a concept just a few years back, are now making their way into consumer homes. They are still expensive, but for those who appreciate the energy savings, and the excellent picture quality of a LED HDTV, they are worth it. And like other technologies, the cost is on its way down, and will keep on decreasing with time.

1. Fast motion is excellent. White is white, black is black, and reds and blues are beautiful. Clarity is excellent. Once in a while I’ve seen intense yellows and greens where I’ve wondered if it was an accurate depiction, but I’ve not made any adjustments yet. But, it’s hard to get all these qualities, especially whites, in plasma. I’m not a professional, just my observations based on a few months of shopping.

2. I love the set. it’s extremely thin, and I the color is brilliant. I haven’t noticed much flashlighting, triple ball effect, or other problems which effect most standard LCD sets. If you’re relying on factory settings for picture quality, you should seriously go to [...]
Do not use the slim wall mount if you have one. It’s magnetic and causes some problems w/ the set.
Be aware that there are no true LED sets out there. This is an edge lit set. That means that there are some LED’s along the edges of the screen providing backlight to the lcd screen. The next series, 9000, will feature local dimming LED which are spread in zones throughout the set. Not a true LED, but closer, however .. more than likely.. you’ll pay the price.
