Wow, Great replacement for my 5 year old Hitachi 50v500 LCD rear projection TV. Love the looks. Plenty of inputs for my Blu-ray, HD-DVD, Cable and sony 400 dvd changer. Hdmi input on the side for connecting video camera.
The colors, you will have to tweak a little. Movies will look like soap opera, but once you set them up correctly, you will love it. (Check the samsung forums)
Best feature:
Though the USB port you can connect a flash drive or hard drive and this TV will play most audio and video format. I play High definition movies encoded using H.264 format. I heard this can play files as big as 10GB in size. I have played 2GB file size with no problems. Download HD movie trailers on mp4 format and put it on a flash drive and watch in HD. I use freeware "Handbrake" to encode dvd movies into h.264 MP4 format. 2 hour movie will take about 2.3GB space. Much less space than DVD/same quality.
Also like the fact that it has a toslink optical out from the TV. Great so if movies are encoded in Dolby Digital the audio gets sent to the home theatre reciever in digital format. Great if you want to play your favorite mp3 tune on you home theatre stereo.
The price on amazon is no longer the best. I found it over $400 cheaper at local Fry's store. With tax, delivery and 3 year warranty, fry's was still less.
