You have to play around with the 240HZ settings for a minute to get a good balance of picture quality and smoothness of picture. <br /> <br />The only downside is that when dark scenes occur, the entire picture goes dark to get a true black. White writing looks grey when this occurs. The other downside is third party wall mounting. The screws in the back of the TV are too short to accomodate a 3rd party wall mount. So you either have to go out and buy longer screws, or buy the Samsung brand for $250. <br /> <br />Overall a great TV. Got it on sale on Amazon for $1,850 and it is worth every penny.

Delivered by a second party distributor in perfect condition with a helpful truck driver to unpack in minutes and inspect. Highly recommend this product and Amazon arranged delivery.

It has a very clear picture and it is fun to surf the web on it as well. It is hooked up into our stereo, speakers, computer, dvd player, vcr player and web connection. <br /> <br />I recommend this product over other similar products because it is a high quality TV.

Review internet tech and review sites for Samsung power board failures prior to purchasing. 14 months after purchase of a new LCD HDTV from Samsung, two hdmi ports have failed (causes green vertical lines on the tv screen) and the power board failed (the tv won't even turn on). <br /> <br />Sadly Samsung is using old/cheap capacity resistors on the power boards which conveniently fail once the 1 year warranty has run out. Despite the resistor manufacturer recommending not to use them anymore back in 1999. Rating: 1 / 5 Beware!
