Great TV, Takes a little setup to get a great picture, but looks amazing once it is done!
The setup was very quick and it had no issues connecting to my Wi-Fi. I had the TV up and running in about 15 minuets after its arrival at my door. Netflix is much better than it is on my xbox and loads quickly even with my slower DSL connection. I have not tried the 3D settings yet, but 2D looks great. I also have it hooked up to my surround sound and so I have no idea what the TV audio actually sounds like. I'm sure it isn't any better than any other flat screen TV. Here are the settings I used for picture quality: Start in Movie mode and change these settings: Color Temperature: Red Gain: 84 Green Gain: 90 Blue Gain: 100 Red Offset: 110 Green Offset: 100 Blue Offset: 100 Advanced Picture: Color Enhancement: Rich Color Adaptive Luma: Strong Film Mode: Off Smart Dimming: Off Ambient Light Sensor: Off The only other change I made was to increase the backlight from 55 to 65. This just causes a brighter or darker screen. These settings take care of the yellow tint that the TV starts with and makes pictures look great. If you want it darker or lighter you can cut the color temps in half or increase them by the same ratio in order to keep quality colors as well.
