Someone here complained that the television "isn't bright enough" and that the "contrast was better on his old TV
Before I purchased this television, I read almost all of the reviews here. There are some complaints, which made me research the product further. I was apprehensive as delivery day arrived. The television has exceeded my expectations. All of the things that people complained about are non-existent. Someone here complained that the television "isn't bright enough" and that the "contrast was better on his old TV." I have no idea what he's talking about. The factory default settings on the television weren't optimal, but on the Samsung main menu (on the television) there's "expert settings" to decrease the color saturation and increase the contrast. And even leaving the brightness setting at the mid-range level, the television is plenty bright enough - more than bright enough. Someone else complained that viewing the television from the side created blurring. Nonsense. I was nearly looking at a profile of the screen and could see plenty of detail. Someone else complained that the built-in speakers weren't the greatest. Maybe they didn't know that under the Audio expert settings there's an equalizer, which is a moot point, since my television linked to my Sony sound system flawlessly. As a matter of fact, linking all of my systems (cable box, sound system, game systems, etc.) took (at most) five minutes, and everything works fine. Other people here have said that we should save our money and buy an OLED television instead. Nonsense. The picture on this television is absolutely stunning, and I now understand why some people commented that the picture almost looks 3D - it's that good. What surprised me the most was watching The Simpsons (don't judge me:^) On the newer episodes the color and detail are phenomenal, but on the older episodes (S1-S5), they're now the same quality as the newly run episodes today. I cannot explain that, since the older episodes on my last TV always had a "watercolor" look to them. Since the Amazon delivery service installed my television in about 10 minutes, there is absolutely nothing that I can list as a negative here. Absolutely nothing. Given the current price of this television on Amazon, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it if I were you. Maybe wait until Black Friday to see if you can get it a little cheaper, but if they sell out, you'll be sorry. Trust me.
