The good: The Samsung ES6500 is a decent performer with excellent design and a good mix of features. Colors are fairly accurate and vibrant. Shadow detail is very good, lending weight and texture to images.
The bad: Black levels are not up to par with the model it replaces, and uniformity is fairly bad.
The bottom line: The Samsung UNES6500 is a well-featured midrange television with good color but otherwise ho-hum picture quality and value.

Summary: I did a lot of research and showrooming. It's not worth the 50-100% increased cost for slight improvements. For a dark room, I might have gone plasma. I'm comfortable buying TVs from places like Amazon or Crutchfield. However, I took an internet quote to a big box retailer and got the tax removed, free delivery and bask setup free. Also, an easier return (not that I intend to).
