We're very happy with this TV... it's picture is surreal, I mean literally surreal, it honestly seems 3D when watching movies, not even Blu-ray but regular DVDs or even HD TV broadcasts. It actually takes a little bit of getting used to, since it is so much clearer and more 3D-ish than previous plasma screens. But we really like the effect.

We did have a minor issue when watching some broadcast movie channels that the picture seemed just a little bit "jerky", but we found a forum that talked about how some movies have a different transmission or screen refresh rate that result sin the timing being a little off, and suggested changing one picture setting on the TV. we haven't had the problem since.

I saw one review that said that the edges were darker than the middle on LED TVs of this size, but I haven't seen anything like that on ours.

UPDATE 9/6: Yes, this TV is still incredible 2 months after purchase. A user asked me what setting we were referring to that we changed in the above review: it was the auto motion plus in the "picture" menu. Haven't had any problems or any jerky screens since.

Incredibly thin both in thickness and bezel. Looks incredible on the wall. Minus one star for backlight issues.

Check avsforum: many users, including myself, are a bit unhappy about what may be called flashlighting, or clouding. What may be an inherent problem with thin, edge-lit LCD's in general (worse as they get larger), the backlight is not of consistent brightness across the entire display. When the screen goes completely black, there is a sort of X pattern on the screen, which is slightly lighter than the rest, across the entire panel. It's only noticeable when fully black, or on credits, as far as I can tell right now. Overall it may be a reasonable tradeoff to have a thin screen, but one any buyer should be aware of up front, especially when they are not inexpensive.

I also don't think the ambient light controls for backlighting work well enough. I have a lot of light in my room during the daytime, and I have to manually adjust the backlight up during the day, and back down at night. Apparently the auto setting is just too limited.

A great TV and got a great deal from Amazon. Now for the review only one problem I found with this TV so far is the light bleeding during a very dark scene or complete black screen this is an issue with a lot of edge lit led sets but i think a little more pronounced on this set. I did manage to set the TV so that this light bleeding is minimal please see my settings below. Otherwise this is an all around Great set sleek design and very energy efficient sound is good too the 60" set has 15watts x two speakers. Enjoy!!!

First I must say im surprised more people havent reviewed or purchased this tv. I was really loving the sharp quattron in the store as this model wasnt available to see but the sharp was always a bit more on here. I know sharp tvs have had issues before and wasnt sold on the whole 4th color thing so the timing was perfect when this samsung dropped drastically in price. I received this tv in 2 days of ordering and one word HUGE. this tv is huge and super thin. The sound is great and the picture quality through an hdmi is top notch. I do agree with other reviewer who needs the 3d hype when you have picture quality this great. no it doesnt have internet but who goes online through their tv thats what a computer is for. bluerays on this tv look superb and you can really appreciate the quality. Even regular tv looks great on this model. the bezel is thin, the touch of color is just right and for the money this in my opinion is the best 60 inch model out there right now. Samsungs rock!!! thanks again amazon for a smoking deal on a great tv .

Excellent picture quality even better than Sony Bravia,,, sound quality is very good.. Glad I bought the 60 inch, it looks and shows really great in our bedroom.. You must turn OFF the Auto-motion feature so that some movies won't appear a bit jerky... Overall VERY happy with our purchase and AMAZON had the best price plus free shipping... LOVIN it!!!!


10/17/10 ~ ***UPDATE concerning "Auto-Motion" feature!***

When I first saw a show with the "Auto-Motion Plus" turned ON and set at STANDARD ( default ), I was like, wait a minute, this looks kinda weird.. I was not use to seeing a picture with this much clarity, realism, and an almost 3-D look to it... So,, I turned the "Auto-Motion Plus" feature OFF.. Then later, I turned it back ON and also changed the the P (icture) MODE setting on the remote to DYMANIC, and watched Smallville. WOW!!!.. It really gave that show an incredibly LIVE appearance instead of a plain-ole' ONE dimensional movie appearance... Needless to say, I'm hooked on the "Auto-Motion Plus" feature.

What some people are referring to as a "Soap-Opera look" is actually an almost Live 3-D appearance with extreme clarity when the "Auto-Motion Plus" feature is turned ON. This feature gives the highest picture, again, almost like 3-D!

Occasionally, depending on how a show was recorded, it will have a slight JERKY-ness or "skipping frames" with the "Auto-Motion Plus" set on STANDARD.. So, tuning OFF this feature for that particular show will solve the problem of slight Jerky-ness.

To change the setting or turn off the "Auto-Motion Plus" feature, simply go to MENU>MODE> scroll down to PICTURES OPTIONS>AUTO MOTION PLUS.

I even watched an old Spider-Man 2 dvd with this feature turned on and set to STANDARD and Picture Mode set on DYNAMIC.. WOW!!,, It was like watching Spider-Man 2 for the first time all over again... The "Auto-Motion Plus" feature definitely gives NEW life and a NEW viewing experience to all of your non-Blue-ray DVD's... I highly recommend this TV for it's outstanding picture quality, it's many features and it's many adjustments to help you get just the right picture to suit your own taste!

i have a phillips 52 in one one room, my brother has a 58 in plasma samsung, my parents have a 55in rca proscan 240 hz, have seen a few more lcd tvs in the last year, my mother in law has a 52 in sanyo, i thought my 52 in phillips was great, and it is a good tv, i paid a grand for it, good deal,

now to this 60 in samsung led tv, i find it hard to believe there is a better tv out there then this, the picture is so surreal and crisp and clear, the colors are over the top, we compared it in the store before i bought on amazon and saved 600 bucks, we compared it with a 55 in sony led, we thought the samsung looked better, we have had the tv for around two weeks, and after playing with the settings i got the tv so my wife and i love it, unlike alot of sonys you have to set this tv for your taste, and its worth it, what sold me was the two year financing and the fact we keep our living room tv for at least ten years so i can't afford to make a mistake, and im am so happy with this tv,

as far as the clouding issue one reviewer put down, that is the led lights and you can set the tv so there is no clouding, there is 4 modes, dynamic has no clouding, standard has some, natural is my setting and has very little, and movie mode which darkens the screen, its almost like watching a white movie screen, but its a black tv screen, all four modes have their own settings, so you can set each mode for the way you like to watch the picture, the picture is different then a lcd tv and that is a plus for the colors are so vivid its unreal, yet you feel as if you are watching the show or movie the way it actually is, very clear tv with many features, it handles low light movies so well, you can see the different shades of black, colorful movies like planet 51 look like 3d, everything just looks real, low light movies that go to high light are no problem for this tv,


my settings i like the best are in natural,
backlight 14,
contrast 80,
brightness 60,
sharpness 60,
color 70,


in the picture options menu, my settings are, color tone, cool,
hdmi black level is normal,

film mode is auto 1
, might give you a start then you can adjust for your own taste, i love the way peoples faces look, natural,

i honestly have not seen every tv made, but out of the ones i have seen, this one is the best, my living room is pretty big, and this tv fits well, i would have gotten a 65 inch but they only have lcds in that size, watched some football and that is great also, no problems with the backlights being brighter in any areas, or no x on the black screen,

my only cons is there seems to be no controls on the tv itself to turn it on and off, strange for if the remote goes ill have to unplug it until i get a new one, if there is one on the tv me or my wife can't find it, the other con is it ruins you when you see another tv, my 52 in phillips in the other room just pales in comparison, and when i go over to visit family all their tvs dont look nowhere near as good as they used to,

my wife told me not to be a tv snob, and this tv wants to make you one, this is my first samsung tv and really didn't buy the fact so many people are saying they are the best, i'm not enough of an expert to say either way, but i can tell you this is the most amazing tv i've ever had or saw, led rules, thanks amazon for the 4 day delivery and to the other reviewer who helped me make a great decision to buy this tv, will be enjoying myself for a long time, it was well worth the extra money, i was waiting for the sharp 60in quad 240hz tv to come out, but seeing sharp in the store i noticed some grain in the gray colors, settings on the tv might have fixed that, i don't know, but after seeing this tv i had to have it and hope it lasts for years to come, some tips,

the manual says you should try to fill the screen as much as possible to avoid ghosting, the good news is that when you fill the screen even with standard programs this tv does not have that mirrored effect on the edges i saw in other lcd tvs that i hate, widescreen movies look fantastic, the guide says watching 16/9 modes is the standard mode to watch, it says to avoid watching 4/3 mode too much which i don't use at all anyway, i have dvd recorders and some old movies and filling the screen with a movie that was not filmed in widescreen still looks great, good luck and hope i covered with enough information for you to make a decision...if i get any more tips or info i will update later, take care....

update, as the other reviewer mentioned, the auto motion seems so far to have no use, since i have had no motion blur, i leave the setting off, also there is a 65 in samsung and i think it is an led, but at 4000 plus i'm glad i bought the 60 in and saved the money.....

update, thanks to the last reviewer, and the instruction book, there are tv controls on the tv, bottom right on the front in light grey, can barely see them but they are there

The 55 inch Samsung is 6 months old and is FINE and has been relocated to another room....I own Two 55 inch Samsung LED's. One is about 6 months old and the other is about 9 months old..I Just wanted the Larger 60 inch size.....SAMSUNGS ARE FABULOUS!!! From the sleek thin barely there frame to the swivel base...The LED picture is absolutely breath taking. They are fairly light weight (approx 70 to 85 pounds) The set up is simple as are any adjustments you may want to make to picture or sound...LED's do not run nearly as hot as LCD's and certainly not as hot as Plasma's...Although they do through off a bit of heat the fabulous picture makes up for any con's this TV may have....I would suggest a bit of your personal picture adjustments (I perfer vivid adjustment) and an HDMI cable as they don't have many ports for your dvd/surround systems. I was apprehensive about buying this from ABL through amazon but it was a smooth transaction. I will save the box for a time just in case but I'm sure I'll not be needing it.....I couldn't be happier with Samsung for making a wonderful product...You will not regret the upgrade to an LED especially a Samsung*****ONE MONTH LATER-----STILL THRILLED----NO PROBLEMS---NO WHITE SPOTS----GOOD WITH ALL MY ROOM LIGHTING or WITH LITTLE OR NO ROOM LIGHTING-----NO SHADOWS----NO SPOTS OF ANY KIND****** LOVE THIS TELEVISION*****

I purchased this TV in early September, and was absolutely amazed at the picture quality. Both definition, & color are beyond anything I looked at. I did a side by side comparison with the Sharp Aquos, LG, and the Sony Bravia of the same size, and at all three stores, the picture on the Samsung superceded the competition in clarity, definition, & color. The only thing that I can't comment on is the expected longevity for this TV. I would speculate however, that the overall reliability of this TV would be comparable to all other Samsung products. The picture quality is so vivid, that even recorded shows from our satellite receiver, look like live broadcasts. I read a review that said the screen showed an X from the LED edgelighting. I can honestly say that I haven't seen it on the one I purchased. I would highly recommend this TV to anyone interested in quality comparison shopping.

I ordered because the picture looked sharper in Box stores than others on display, picture is great, I have a 3 year old 58 inch 60 Hrz Samsung plasma and here's the difference, energy consumption, LED about 1/5th on my panamax compared to plasma, blacker black with this LED, picture about 10% better with one exception, LED viewing angle drops off big time compared to plasma, if you have any side viewing greater than 60 degrees the picture washes out, screen looks white with the colors fading out. I missed this at the store, also Tools say broadcast at 60Hrz for cable TV, so I'am not so sure about 120hrz improveing picture for cable TV, my computer also shows 60Hrz. DVD's are really eye poping good. I don't see any edge fade or lighting issues. The picture just takes a little time to get used to compared to plasma. There are only a few TV's that can compete with this one without spending $3500 plus. I still like plasma slightly better, but energy cost makes this the right choice.

Great TV. Very thin, sleek looking, speakers work fantastic. Easy to set up and start watching. Been playing x-box with the kids on the TV. All I can say is WOW.

I have not seen any X pattern on the TV when it is on. There is some backlight bleeding at the bottom corners but only when there is a completely black screen. I Believe this is expected with LCD and LED tv's. The swivel stand is key. Returned a sharp TV because there was no swivel.

The brightness of the TV really sold it for me. This was the reason why I went away from the Plasmas. I keep the settings on Dynamic - High for everything. Just an incredible clear picture. Sports, X - BOX (Gears of War, Dead Space), movies all look incredible.
There are so many settings to play with to get the picture you want.

Amazon has been very easy to work with on these large items. Shipping and return from my previous order went as well as exepected. Brought the TV downstairs to the basement, unpacked and made sure was working before they asked me to sign on the dotted line.
Purchase and also have the 30 day free return policy. What else can you ask for.
No tax and free shipping....
