This Samsung is not a high quality HDTV. At 65", distortion can be seen at the sides. Only has 1000 lines of resolution, thus the picture is less clear than a smaller screen with same lines. For a 65", you should sit about 10-12 feet away. Yes, it's more screen for your money, but my advice its, spend a little more and get a quality HDTV that has more features and specs. Hitachi Ultravision, in my opinion, is the best for the money.
