Samsung LED LCD is a Superior TV

Sorry, but the other comments about reverse vignetting or edge-lighting are sheer nonsense. You can see anything if you look hard enough - and that is the point. I originally bought the Samsung UN46B8000 (46 inch LED) and observed no such issue whatsoever - just a superb picture. After nearly 30 days I got bigger screen envy, so I went back to Best Buy and purchased the UN55B8000 (55 inch), and traded in the 46 inch. Once again a fantastic picture with no edge-lighting. No issues at all. Samsung has hit the sweet spot with the 8000 series. This 240Hz version is especially wonderful when viewing action scenes.

Anyone who has seen my set is blown away by the superb picture, rich colors, color contrast, etc. - and these are comments from my friends, the Geek Squad installers, the Dish Network guy, and so on. This set was worth every penny. You will pay more, but you get what you pay for. And on top of all that, this set allows me to go wireless and online with the built-in widgets (the Samsung USB link is extra).

My problem is that I have to get up each morning and go to work instead of staying home and enjoying this TV. Sheer torture .
