Samsung LN46A950 46" 1080p LCD HDTV with 120Hz refresh rate and LED backlighting
This is an absolutely awesome TV. Being an engineer, I spent weeks reviewing the technical specifications and reviews of many models. My technical specification reviews led me to the Samsung LN46A950. Then of all the LCD or Plasma TV's in the world today, several reviews rated this TV in the top 3, only slightly behind one Plasma and one LCD model costing over 3X as much. The LED backlighting with a million to 1 contrast ratio provides stunning picture quality. The USB port to connect to your PC or a thumb drive enables displaying your pictures on a vivid large screen in the comfort of your family room. If you're buying a high end TV it is absolutely worth the extra cost for this model with the LED backlighting.

This TV replaces a rear-projection 55 inch Mitsubishi. That TV was bleeding edge at the time, but now its firewire, separate HD input, and lack of 1080p have already made it near obsolete. This new TV operates with its features all streamlined. All channels are on the same input (if you didn't have an older HDTV then this won't mean much).
The picture -- well what's there to say. It looks great. If you're super super nit-picky then you may notice some blooming in dark scenes with white lettering or high contrast. But the deep black level makes up for it. And at this point in time, LEDs are not as small as a pixel - will they ever be? The screen is quite shiny, which causes some reflections during the day.
I don't notice the off-center difference that much as my viewing area is fairly narrow. And by default it comes with auto motion turned on which I personally detest. It makes film look like video. I turned it off for all inputs. I DO like the cinema look and I believe it comes pretty darn close to the settings you'd achieve using a calibration tool like Avia. I have not done this yet, so this is just a guess, but it looks good for a preset!
I hooked up the ethernet cable and the instant weather and news is nice, but the picture slideshow coming from my desktop (this needs software that runs a 'server') doesn't display my 12 megapixel images large enough. They look like tiny thumbnails. The TV is supposed to be capable of much larger images. What gives?
However, those are little annoyances at features. The picture quality is amazing with HDTV and with a bluray player viewing 1080p material. The input selection is huge and works great with my older non-upscaling dvd player and my older 5.1 receiver.
great tv.
