Pros: Excellent picture quality, deep blacks, colorful, wide assortment of connections, beautiful styling with slight metallic sides next to speaker housings and touch panel controls, decent remote control, decent AM tuner, swivel base, and a GREAT number of settings and preferences.Cons:A feature called AMP (Automotion PLUS)-which is a technology that helps to smooth out scenes in movies and television making the image crisper and clearer, almost life-like --currently has problems. This feature is spotty at the moment and Samsung does not have a proper fix yet. WARNING: There are at least two versions of this TV with different firmwares--FW 100x and FW200x. FW 200x sets seem to be less prone to problems with AMP, while FW 100x have problems with stuttering with AMP on any setting (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH). AMP may cause artifacts to show up when it is on.Other problems with this TV: some panels with dead pixels and Samsung has a lax policy on this as you need a certain number of dead or stuck pixels or several together to get a replacement. Some TVs have issues with light bleeding through the edges or poor backlighting. This TV does not have true picture-in-picture to my knowledge. The glossy black cabinet collects dust easily and must be wiped with a special cloth that Samsung provides with the TV to avoid scratches. It has a glossy screen (however this may be a PRO to some as it gives it vivid colors and deeper blacks, but it can show reflections in a light room).
