Purchased the Samsung 55" 1080p Ultraslim as christmas present for my wife. It came with the Samsung BlueRay. The item was delivered to my home as Amazon promised. Delivery company contacted me to accomodate schedule delivery date to my convenience. Product arrived in perfect condition. The picture is just crytal clear. WalMart and BestBuy are no match for Amazon and can't beat what Amazon offer to shoppers. Thank you Amazon!

This is an amazing TV. The same LED HD TV sells in Best Buy for so much more, Amazon sent it with free shipping and a free blue ray player.
The TV is slim and sexy,It hangs like a picture frame and once it is up it looks amazing, BUT getting it up is tough.
We used the wall mount (which are extra of course..) and struggled with it for close to an hour,it is also tough to access the hdmi and ethernet ports so try to have all the wires hooked up prior to the mounting, and be sure to bury your surge protector behind the wall because there is no room to hang it behind this TV.
But outside of that one problem- the picture is excellent,I am super impressed: the blue ray picture it is perfect with HDMI pretty much out the book, I suggest you see Australia the movie with this new TV when you get it all hooked up.
Enjoy!

The first thing to understand about LED TVs is that they are actually LCD TV that are backlit with LEDs. You still aren't going to get true blacks and whites without getting a heavy and power sucking plasma. That being said, the picture is amazing! We've owned several LCDs and plasmas, and this is an outstanding product.
In my house, we don't particulary care for the Auto Motion while watching TV shows. For games and sports, it's great, but it seems almost unnatural while watching some shows. We bought this model because we knew that we weren't going to use the 240 Hz Auto Motion anyway.
I have a few things to point out about this TV though.
First, the power cord is incredibly short (At least the one we received from Amazon Warehouse Deals, it was.). This is a very important thing to know if you are mounting on the wall or above a fireplace that doesn't have a highly mounted power outlet.
Second, there is only one speaker, and it is in the back of the TV. This isn't particularly a problem for us because we use an A/V receiver, but don't expect the TV's audio to sound good on its own. Another thing concerning audio, is that it does not have Audio Out so that you can plug your components (DirectTV, XBOX, Blue Ray, Computer...) into the TV and have the audio be sent out to a stereo.
BE PREPARED TO BUY AN A/V RECEIVER.

Had to recently return my 50" Samsung plasma TV (PN50B860). Although the quality of the plasma TV was breathtaking the excessive buzzing was a deal breaker. This TV is bigger (by 5"), lighter (by 10 lbs), cooler (plasma got burning hot), quieter (zero noise) and more energy efficient (40% more efficient than LCD which are already more efficient than plasmas). Again the quality of the LED is not as superb as the plasma but it is still fantastic (black levels are actually blacker in a lit room). VERY happy with my purchase, would recommend to anyone.

What's great about it: Light Weight, Looks Stunning, Great Features
What's not so great: Off angle viewing, dark scene viewing, corners glowing, backlight is not uniform
"I WISH I LOVED THIS TV!
After being a plasma fan for years, I gave an LED-LCD a chance. Set-up was great. Features-a-plenty! Picture quality... AMAZING!!!.... sometimes. I played 'UP' on blu-ray. It blew my mind! Full screen, and bright colors; you will not find a tv with a better image. There is a definate sweet spot for viewing. Which leads me to my first complaint.
-Viewing angle: When your in the sweet spot. It looks great! When your one couch cushion over, you start to loose it. Contrast is lost, and dark images turn into a washed out blueish color. I was used to the viewing angle on my Samsung plasma, and deeply missed it after setting up the LED.
- Low Light: This is a Great TV for daytime viewing. Colors stand out. At night, in a dark room? Not so much. You start to notice that the blacks are not as black as they were during the day. Also, you will notice the corners of the screen starting to light up with a bluish tinge. Extremely distracting especially when watching a movie or show with a 1.85 or 2.4 aspect ratio.
-Backlight uniformity: What uniformity? In a very dark scene, you will really start to notice hot spots and cold spots when it comes to backlight. On an all black screen, it looks like black and blue camo. I even noticed Hot Spots during the olypics in very white areas. Again, distracting. This is most likely due to the side lighting as opposed to the full array lighting.
OVERVIEW! When you find that sweet spot, and play somthing full screen or with a native 16X9 resolution, the picture will blow your mind. But when you stand up, walk around, watch in a dark room, or watch movies that are matted on top and bottom? You will really start to notice a dissapointing amount of distracting problems.
I wish I didn't have to return it, but unfortunately I am going back to plasma."
