  Ok, i'm incredibly happy w/ my Sammy 650, but now Samsung has release their LED backlit line up, which just makes me drool. Even higher contrast ratios, brighter picture, even sharper motion and only 1.2" thick. Mmm...

  The good news for me is the current retail prices are significantly higher than what I paid for my version 4 mos ago, so I can't really regret my decision.
  
  i haven't seen one in person yet, but hope to soon.

    Stop looking! Your TV is great. Just wait a few years and you'll be rolling the screen out on your wall and hanging it with thumb tacks.

    I know, I know. But can't they at least give me 6 months of complete and total satisfaction before putting The Next Big Thing under my nose? Ah, such is life...

  Just hooked up the optical out of the tv into my speakers. Things just got better.
  
  The 650 would have been good enough now. No need for the subwoofer in the tv

    Update: Directv via hdmi does not work with audio passthrough, so the subwoofer does come in handy for regular tv

    Weird, I could swear the HDMI cable from my DTV box, which feeds into my receiver, which feeds the Sammy, is passing audio too.

    I got from DTV to TV and then use the Optical out from TV to Receiver. I will look a bit more tonight, but so far I did not see why it would not work.
    
    I was so psyched at first. It made everything so simple

    Just looked at my setup and the only cable connected from my TV is the HDMI cable, which means it's supporting the picture as well as surround sound.

    My receiver only has video pass through for HDMI. Maybe Scott's is like that.

    So, I figured out some of the settings and now it looks even better. I may have to ask to borrow your wagon today to go get a stand....or maybe we can go together so you can peek at some of the other tvs.

  WOW! First off, Amazon rocks. Fast Delivery. Guys came in and set everything up. Tested it All. Took my TV out to the garage. More then I expected they would do. Super nice and fast.
  
  The TV fits perfectly. In fact, I am thinking of going bigger now.
  
  The red accent is so perfect for our room. So happy with it.
  
  The blacks on this TV are wild. I didn't realize that I needed my blacks to be blacker. It makes things so much better.
  
  The "content" might just be the dumbest invention of all time. The Games are so lame, and the info is silly. Will upload a movie soon. Who cares though.
  
  I have everything running through HDMI and set it all to 1080p! I didn't realize I was only running at 720p on my Apple TV up til now.
  
  I am psyched. Really Psyched. Now to get a new base table....

  Was just heading out for work when the phone rang. First I thought it was Noel, then I looked and didn't recognize the number so I thought it was a telemarketer so I gave it an angry "HELLO!". The guy on the other end just says, "Hi, I have your Amazon order on my truck and I was wondering if your home for me to deliver it?" "Wooooah! Sure, come on by!" That was pretty fast!

    I started the camera rolling right after the phone call. Although I forgot to capture going into my secret lair where I had stockpiled a pile of HDMI cables for this day. But then realized that the Joker had taken them all on me!

  Buying a new tv, although a samsung, is just what our economy needs. Who needs a bailout?
  
  Hell, tM single-handedly has everyone out scrambling for better technology. Good stuff.
  
  I'm picking up the Lumix and an new Blu-Ray next week.
