Crisp, crystal clear HD picture is my first thoughts of the 860. The first movie I watched on my LN52A860 was The Dark Knight on blue ray. The first scene of the movie appeared like a realistic 3D picture, so clear it was scary! I felt like I was right there in the movie. I've noticed that other reviews at different sites state problems with IR interference (infer red) from the back light with different remotes. Does not effect Directv receiver or my Onkyo 706 or blue ray BDP-S550. The TV does have slight clouding on the corners (seems like all will have slight clouding due to the slim design and the back light). This can only be seen on black scenes. Nothing really noticeable to shake a stick at as far as clouding. Again it can only be seen on a black screen and does not effect any picture quality. The interface is easy to use. The auto motion Plus is really neat. Be sure to see it in demo mode were it shows half the screen with the motion plus vs non motion plus. Warrantee: 18 months plus the 3 months added on when registered with Samsung for a total of 21 months is just awesome. One can not really see the touch of blue color unless there is light behind it or in a really bright room. Not too many LCD's have this clear of a picture IMO. If you can't see an 860 on the show room check out an 850 as they are very similar as far as picture quality. The TV can pull movies and pictures off your network if you have them on your computer to share. Really neat to show a slide show on a 52". No regrets here.. Very happy!

Samsung's LN860 model by far the most sleek (Ultra thin) and delivers the best picture quality. It also contain multiple input ports (4 HDMI, S-video, 2 AV etc) to connect multiple devices. Mini (pebble) remote in addition to the regular remote is very convenient. Its Energy Star compliant I.E (Lower electric bill). Overall an excellent choice!

Great TV. I was going to buy the Sony 52" LCD but when I saw the picture on this Samsung there was no comparision! You won't regret buying this TC and Abe's of Maine had the best price.

This is our second Samsung TV. Our first was a Plasma that we thought could not get any better until we got this LCD. The picture is bright and beautiful. There are many menu options to adjust the picture. The blacks are very black. We don't notice the difference between my plasma and the LCD. We just can't say enough good things about the TV. It is perfect!!!!!

Just received this TV and all I can say is WOW! The picture is unbelievable. Sound is OK but I used an optical cable to my AV Receiver and it sounds excellent. The "WiseLink" feature allows you to use your computer as a server and stream photos or music etc from your computer to the TV. The "InfoLink" is very cool to have weather or stocks or news on the TV at your finger tips. All you need is a Lan cable plugged into your router or modem and hook into the port on the back of the TV or you can buy the wireless adapter, plug it in the back of the TV and it will talk to your router. The TV comes with Samsungs CD "PC Share Manager" and this allows you to share files between your computer and TV.

The difference between the 850 model and 860 is that the 860 has blue "Touch of Color" versus red.
The 860 has a S Video jack on the side and the 850 has it on the back. The other main difference is 12 month warranty on the 850 versus 18 months on the 860. Samsung gives you 3 additional months if you register online.

The one issue I have is figuring out how to watch one cable channel while recording another. The TV I replaced had 2 ANT IN terminals for connecting cable. I used a splitter and split the two cables between the TV and cable box Tivo. Then you could watch one channel and record another. This new Samsung only has 1 ANT terminal. Still working out the details on how to solve this.

Other than that minor issue this is a great TV and I am very pleased with my purchase. Would buy the 860 again..

Buy this TV and you won't regret it, and this TV will last longer in term of technology wise since it has the latest LCD technology. And will last a long time for the picture quality like other Samsung product.After comparing and debating for several weeks between Sony and Samsung , I finally chose this Samsung LN52A860.
