Yay for no-name $400 TVs from Fry's. :heart:'s his 32" Emprex 720p LCD; it doesn't look half bad with the contrast up, I think I'm gonna get one of those calibration DVDs you were talking about OP, how much was it?

It was about 40 bucks...

Gran Turismo HD looks awesome on that set! I'm jealous

..ya. they do have that warm fuzzy look.

Different strokes for different folks. Anyone should be happy with that set regardless.

of course, for $2800 I wouldn't have thought twice about getting the Pioneer 5080 instead....

which reminds me, my local BB now has the 5080 (720p) and the 5010? (1080p) side by side for easy comparison. I know I'm crazy...but I actually preferred the picture on the 720p. I think they must have been calibrated differently or something, but I noticed more issues (jaggies) on the 1080 model. weird...

Payed $2600 shipped for this from Amazon a little while back, great TV, just wish Samsung would email me the firmware update like they said they would!

I can email you the firmware! I saw it for 2699 at amazon shipped, but I just wanted the convenience of returning it if anything happens

Sweet, thanks! But before you go through the trouble, what is the version they sent you and do I have to worry about a revision number of the hardware or anything?

no revision of hardware is necessary. I upgraded from 1009 to 1013

Does anyone know the differences between the "65" series Samsung and the "71" series besides the 120Hz feature of the "71"?

I just checked and it looks like I have to use the 2.x line of firmware for mine (current one is like a 2.002? whatever that shipped with it). But thanks for the offer
