 One of the clearest HDTV I've seen! April 30, 2010

PRO:
The clarity of this TV is astounding. With this TV, I can honestly say that I feel like I'm just peering through a window when watching HD content. There are times, three weeks into our purchase, that my wife and I exclaim "it's so clear!" while watching shows on 1080i. This is a big deal to me because we have a 65" Pioneer Kuro PRO-151FD in the living room, but now I prefer watching on this unit.
Blu-ray at 1080p is just beautiful and jaw-dropping. I played Ratatouille using a PS3, and the hairs on the mice and blades of grass are so detailed. I also noticed that the SD commercials seems clearer, and on some of them, someone with an untrained eye might mistake for HD if the pillars were not present.
I haven't hooked it up with a receiver yet, but the sound of the unit is more than adequate for our bedroom. We only go to "8" on the sound, which is animated as a blue circle on the lower left as opposed to a bar at the bottom of the screen. The "8" setting corresponds to about 1 o'clock, so you can go really loud if you wish.
I connected a PC to the unit and it can go up to 1920x1080 pixels at 60Hz, which is the max for my graphics card on that particular computer. Although it can display all those pixels, you can notice shadowing on the images and text. Not enough to give you a headache, but just enough to be noticed. If you do not plan on hooking a computer to this TV, then this is not a big deal. Actually, it's really minor considering you can watch Netflix and it does DLNA (accessing media files you share on your network).
I have this connected to my router via Ethernet, and even Netflix came out clear. I saw Dead LiKe Me and it still had that peering through a window effect. We watched Food, Inc. and was pleasantly surprised that Netflix serves that up in HD.
CON:
All HDMI inputs are located on the side. Although it's a good idea for game consoles and on the fly connectivity, I believe it would have been better to have one in the back and three on the side. This would give the users the option to use the rear connection for wall-mounting.
SUMMARY:
This is a great TV for around 8-10 feet of viewing. There are a lot of extras that you may not even touch, but if your main concern is clarity, you can't go wrong with this unit.

Just got this machine and I love it. Setup was easy, internet connectivity worked like a charm and the picture is so real it even movies look like live TV.
Speakers are not the best but a quick hook up to a real sound device solved that problem in about 5 minutes.
I would have given it 5 stars except for the speakers.
The menues are quick and intuitive and the remote is functional without a manual.
The whole TV out of the box without the stand is very light and easy to maneuver.
I mounted it on a wall mount, plugged it in, turned it on and was watching my Netflix in about 20 min, including packing up the trash.
Great TV - Horrible Shipper July 15, 2010

This TV is great. No complaints with the product. I upgraded from a 1080i to this one and I can notice a big difference from the 1080i to the 1080p in the clarity and depth of color on the screen. I had a 1080i-32 inch Sharp and it was a nice flat screen TV but after doing research and reading reviews on the Samsung I chose to upgrade to this model. I am really glad I did because the picture, when watching high def shows, is much better than my old TV. I haven't hooked my blu-ray player up yet and watched a blu-ray movie but I purchased an HDMI cable for it so I know it is going to be fantastic. My only problem was with the shippers Amazon used to deliver. (I chose the free shipping option). I won't go into details since I have since returned to this product on their web page and they are no longer offering it until further notice (one of the reasons is their shipping method). Mine was delivered by CEVA (total nightmare). They don't pinpoint the issue but my money is on the shippers and I feel good that they will take the effort to try and resolve the issue. Overall I really like my new TV and enjoy shopping at Amazon.
AWESOME! June 13, 2010

No Apple Support for Samsung TVs September 4, 2010
Bolivar3 (SouthEast USA)
My 40" Samsung LED HDTV (UN40C6500) has a great picture, but is not compatible with Macintosh computers. Maybe one day it will be, "when Apple lets them in." But until then, if you want to connect your MacBook Pro laptop, to this TV, using one of the HDMI inputs, to create a DROP-DEAD-GEORGEOUS monitor, FORGET IT! For now, to use as a monitor, you're limited to using Apple's DVI to Video adapter, with a COMPOSITE or S-Video cable, which is just above the VGA-quality range (I think). And if you want to upgrade the firmware on the TV, find a friend with a Windows computer to download the file onto a USB drive for you.
I ordered a bunch of cables from Amazon, including a DVI to HDMI adaptor. I've been spinning my wheels for 2 weeks. I spent 1 1/2 hours on Samsung's live Tech CHAT yesterday, and called their higher level TEIR 2 Customer Support today. The Customer support lady solved my problem rather quickly, responding to my problem with: Samsung TV's aren't compatible with Apple. Maybe one day they will be, when they let us in. Until then, it's 'Windows Only.' (That was strange, since I've read forum posts from successful MBP users (although some were glad to get any picture at all, and were moving up from a tube TV). Maybe it was my 15" laptop; maybe she took care of a lot of future calls today, with one brush stroke.)
I was teased with all the extras I read about in the Samsung Instruction Manual (part of doing homework before such a big purchase). The instruction Manual showed where to connect a Mac computer (it would always connect to HDMI1-- I tried that first).
You can still connect your Ethernet cable to it, or the Wi-Fi Adaptor-Dongle, for the Samsung apps. You might also be able to share computer content via Ethernet & Wi-Fi. I'm not quite sure. I'm brain-dead at the moment.
Oh, well, I'm sure of one thing. If you ever get up-tight, stressed-out, and have reached your limit because of all this techie stuff spinning around in your head and making absolutely no sense -- before you smash something expensive, or say something hateful/stupid to someone near & dear to you, remember, you can always use this Samsung as a TELEVISION, and you know, kick back & watch TV. It is a very, very nice TV.
