i bought this tv to replace an old crt hdtv that was so outdated it didn't have hdmi inputs.

i have a mac time machine router and it is just not connecting when i put in the samsung usb device.

it literally makes everything you watch look like it was filmed with a consumer grade camcorder rather than pro grade cameras.

3 hdmi inputs allowed direct hookup of my u-verse dvr, dvd, and pc, bypassing the a/v reciever (the sony had 1 input).

set up is fairly easy -- the set auto detects your inputs (great feature for the technically challenged!).

it is easy to switch between the different inputs.

setup was a snap, and the new device menu only shows me what inputs are actually attached rather than making me scroll through all the possibilities like the old model did.

i couldn't understand why a 1080p tv would make a difference with this size of tv, since i sit about nine feet away and at that distance i don't think you could tell - at least the pc input is small
from www.amazon.com
my only complaint is that there are not enough of the type of video/audio inputs that i need for the type of components i have, but i was able to work around it.
from www.amazon.com
the options were exactly what i wanted: computer input, 2 hdmi cable inputs, and multiple component inputs.
