Review

I had this tv for a few months now. Like someone said before picture quality is very inconsistant. It seems the longer I watch it the worse picture quality gets. Especially skin tones look very unnatural. No matter whether its HD or standard programming or DVD. I tried adjusting the picture with AVIA DVD, only marginal difference. It seems that DNIe is the reason behind bad pq however there is no way of turning it off. I even contactes samsung about this, no luck. This is a well known problem with samsung plasmas and yet they refuse to fix it. Stay away from this piece of junk.
