I am extremely happy with the Samsung 6000. Very cool look on the wall and wonderful picture. It was easy to hang as well, I made my own suspension system with parts from the local big box home store. I run the audio through a receiver, so I cant comment on the “problem” with the poor sound of the Samsung. There are couple “points of interest” that I have with this set:
#1. At times, the picture is a bit too clear. The motion flow can create a picture that is almost too good at times. This, however, is not a problem, just an observation.
#2. You can see some bright spots in the periphery of the screen when its completely black. It looks as if a few of the LED lights are too bright. Once again, not really a problem, unless you watch a completely black screen all the time.
#3. This set does not auto format the picture to the input of the picture size. This is only a problem if you switch between HD feed and analog feed. I do this frequently, so it is a bit of an issue, having to adjust the picture size constantly.
#4. On certain channels, you will get flickering white bars at the top of the picture. I have not isolated when this happens, however it is associated with #3,,,,,not having the correct size ratio based on the picture feed.
Overall, great bang for buck. Very happy.

I am very satisfied w/ the purchase. Good pic. quality. I would recommend
this product for good portable viewing.

This is a great TV. It’s large. It’s 240Hz for smooth motion. The quality of the color is excellent when you select the THX picture setting. The menu is simple for things like channel selection, but it has the advanced picture settings when you need to do minor tweaks to the picture quality.

I was trying to decide between the Samsung 8000 series and this one. The Samsung model had network connectivity, but no Netflix connectivity. Other LG models had Netflix connectivity, but this model has no network connectivity. The Samsung had a glossy display, and the LG has a glossy border with a matte finish for the display. Due to the lighting in the room with the TV, the matte finish made more sense to reduce the reflections from the lights in the room. Both have no significant picture difference between them, and they’re among the best picture quality you can currently find. The Samsung is much thinner and lighter than the LG model. Both currently have the lowest energy consumption ratings for their size, and that’s because of the LED light usage in the TV. The LG model has no S-video input, but it has several HDMI inputs, which is what you really need.

The biggest difference between the two models was price. This LG TV was a few hundred dollars cheaper for the same picture quality. At least I couldn’t see the difference in various TV stores.

Some other people mentioned that there were some sound sync issues, but I haven’t noticed it (with and without my audio receiver). Based on other reviews, it seems like it depends on the version of the TV firmware version and the video devices you’re using. You can request an update if you encounter it, but with over the air TV and the Dish Network receiver, it wasn’t a problem. If sound quality is really a concern, get a real sound system with a subwoofer.

If you still occasionally watch standard definition TV, and you’re watching within 12 feet of the TV, I wouldn’t go larger than this size. This issue is not unique to this model. Pretty much every TV this size or larger has a fuzzy picture for standard definition video when viewed up close. Also if you’re not using HDMI cables for your video, like RCA cables (yellow/white/red colored cables), you’re reducing the quality of the video. You really need to use HDMI cables when viewing a local high definition source.
