Tv picture is awesome, sound is good, my only problem is the lag in the smart hub. Its so unbearably slow that i dont even use it. I would recommend getting a newer version if your interested in using anything to do with the smart hub (as i assume most people are).

I have had this TV for a couple of years now - the picture is great and it's so thin! Looks really nice. The picture is amazing in full HD. I like the apps and also being able to watch shows on USB.

Major downfall is the standard sound/speakers. Very poor - had to have it way up. Ended up buying a Samsun surround sound package which is excellent, however don't even think of purchasing this TV without a surround sound system.

anyone that sees this tv at my house comments what a clear life like picture. great refresh rate and smooth motion. it was a pretty sweet spot for price around $2300 for the 55" in 2012. I love streaming 1080p movies to it on 5Ghz, real experience, 3d is awesome as is 2d->3d function. As much as I love it I have to say it's CPU is slow for any apps including the TV Guide, it's a shame but I forgive it due to being such a superb set.
Vivid smooth picture, 5Ghz streaming
Slow guide and apps

We've had this TV for the last 5 months now and have not had a problem with it (touch wood). It is easy to use and we love the Smart Hub and my husband loves the AFL analyser.

The images are very colorful and sharp. The viewing angles are not restrictive at all.
Design and Smart Hub and Bigpond utilities and good internet browsing.
Very rare banding can be noticed during panning scenes in docos/grass in footy games

Purchased at start of September 2011. Have been more than impresed with its briliant colours, quality picture, 3D and Smart Hub. It has performed to and beyond expectations. Also the Guide and programming shows to watch, wi-fi interactivity with all devices eg phones, laptops, pc, internet TV and smart hub sees us spending more time using these features than normal TV. This TV has impressed everyone that has visited our home and several friends have purchased the same model.
Energy efficient, low heat, thin screen and attractive stand. Brilliant colurs and quality picture in fast action movies and live sports
Cost of additional glasses for 3D

We purchased this television in October 2011 and have been extremely happy with it. Obviously, the 2012 series 7 range is in stores now, so this model has been superceded. If you can find it in stock at a lower price, it's definately worth it. Otherwise I'm sure the 2012 model will perform just the same if not better. Picture quality on this television is great, displaying HD images and 3D images perfectly. The only couple of minor complaints have to do with the firmware updates, as some of the apps are a bit slow and unresponsive.
