We went to completely internet based TV viewing. It comes with the common internet TV service pre-loaded. It was also easy to directly connect as a second video monitor for our computer and anything it doesn't come pre-loaded for can be shown that way. Great picture quality, especially with Blueray. A little weak on sound.

Comments about Samsung UN55C6500 55" LCD TV Direct LED - ATSC - HD TV 1080p - 16:9 - 1920 x 1080 - Dolby Digital, DTS:

This tv is phenomenal. I previously had a 42 inch plasma and they are now sitting side by side on football Sunday so I can watch multiple games at once. The picture quality on this tv blows the plasma away. It takes awhile to get used to the clarity on regular tv shows, its almost as if you're watching a live play instead of a tv show. If I were to nitpick I'd say the sound quality doesn't blow you away but its still very good.

Picture clearity of this TV is like watching a home video in high definition! Feels as if I was watching through the camera lens when the film was being shot! Setup is a breeze, TV walks you through setup. Watching TV from angles is no problem, so no need to place chair front and center. For being TV speakers they sound good. No pixles were damaged when I first powered the unit up.

I'd like to see a bit more in the way of connectors, but what is provided is adequate. I'm a bit disappointed that Netflix can not be browsed, and the TV can only access the instant watch cue.

The set is extremely cool in it's networking capabilities with DLNA compliant devices and servers. The picture is great and the adjustments for it are almost unlimited.

It's almost too real. It's like you are sitting on the set of the movie or the TV show. Netfix application is like having a movie store in your TV. PS3 and blue ray is extremely crisp and clear. I have not noticed any ghosting in the corners, except when the TV first comes on to black screen, there are some white blotches in the corners.

Comments about Samsung UN55C6500 55" LCD TV Direct LED - ATSC - HD TV 1080p - 16:9 - 1920 x 1080 - Dolby Digital, DTS:

Overall excellent set. No complaints. One surprise was that when I read in the fine print of the manual that the optical audio output only outputs 2 channel audio for HDMI received components. You need to run audio direct from the component to your 5.1 or better receiver which you may be doing anyway. I am not sure this is typical but I did not expect it from a set like this. But workaround was luckily fine for me.
