Great TV and was going to purchase but the TOC Red personally looks terrible and is a distraction to me. Decided to go with the UN55B8000. A slightly techcially advanced set, 240Hz vs 120Hz refresh and 2 ms pixel response time vs 4ms. TOC on the 8000 is Gray/Clear which IMO looks much better.

This purchase was just so very simple we couldn’t believe it. We are sold on shopping this new way for us. We absolutely love our TV. The men came in, took it out of the box, set it up and pluged it in to see if it worked and we were set to go. So simple. Also we couldn’t believe the price. We did shop around to see what we wanted. Amazon can’t be beat.

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.

A great television at a great Amazon price!
This television is the ultimate for picture quality and performance.
We have a LCD Samsung 52inch but this unit cannot compete with the LED version.
One will never regret to purchase the LED Samsung 55inch unit!!!

I got this Samsung UN55B6000 to replace a dead Sony KDL52W3000 that was just shy of 20 months old.
For the price, it came down to this or the 52XBR9. I took the Samsung cause the picture looked sharper at the store and while still smarting from a Sony reliability issue.
Once set up at home, I started to reconsider my choice. While the dark levels are definitly darker, the glossy screen is a nuissance during low lit scenes.
The bezel design is such that the speakers have nowhere to go but behind the TV which relies purely on the condition and distance of the wall behind it. Compared to the Sony, the sound coming out of this TV sucked.
Samsung defaults their screen with 95% contrast level. So there’s not much room for increased contrasts if you ever need to. I believe this is how Samsung obtains their contrast advantage, raise it to max then cover it with a glossy screen.
The slim design also limits source input options. It comes with 4 HDMIs and only either a component or composite source. With the Sony I can connect all my sources redundantly so no need to boot up the power hungry receiver 100% of the time.
So if you hook up all your components into the TV via HDMI, the sound going into your A/V receiver depends on how well the TV can pass it through.
Another thing I’ve noticed, viewing angle is somewhat narrow before the picture quality start to fade. Definitely narrower than the Sony. Shoppers don’t typically compare this attribute at the store, which is not easy to see because the stores almost always display bright scenes in a bright show floor.
