I spent a long time looking for a new TV. I knew I wanted at least a 58" and a plasma and this TV is perfect. I usually don't write reviews for things, but this TV was worth a review. I debated getting the 6000 Samsung series without the 3D capability - boy I am glad I didn't. The 3D is unbelievable! I have direct TV and they currently have three 3D channels - more content will come. The 2D picture is amazing on this TV as well. I have had the TV for about a month and no buzzing at all. I think this problem was fixed with all the later Samsung models. Can't really comment on the sound from the TV - I have a surround sound system. The 2D to 3D conversion is OK - more depth perception than anything. Overall if your looking for an amazing TV this is the one for you.

Great picture in non-fast scenes with judder cancel off. With it on, it is amazing to see fast scenes but in slower scenes (especially with tv/movies) it creates a surreal look that I don't like. I keep it off 90% of the time and there will be a distortion with really fast moving objects. This was a big dissapointment for me as I selected a plasma due to the 600hz and figured I would not have this issue. I think overall it's still a better tv than the new LED's though. It's much heavier than the LED, though. There is also a pretty good reflection but I hear the newer LCD/LED's have a reflection as well.

Ok. I've owned this tv for over a month. First off this tv is beautiful both on and off. I have to take my hat off to Samsung's picture quality. Blu rays are stunning in 2D and 3D is almost perfect (a little ghosting issue but with the latest firmware it's almost gone). Best tv i've owned so far. Looked at the un55c8000 but had too much blur and ghosting. Returned a Panasonic vt25 because of lack of features plus looks ugly in camparison to the sammy. I've owned the 71 series LCD before this and never thought I'd own a plasma. I loved the brightness and pop of LCD's. Surprised to to see that after calibration this set is just as capable and for 3D it's plasma or nothing. Speaking of 3D, the 2D to 3D feature is no gimmick. Have you ever Seen Avitar converted to 3D? Better than in the theater. Have You ever played Zen pinball in 3D. Wow. If you haven't then it sucks to be you. Bottom line great tv. The only con I can think of is its power consumption. Here my settings for those who like the brightness and pop of lcd.

For the most part I am in full agreement with the reviews that have been posted. Picture quality is great, Nice clean look, I am not experiencing any noticeable noise/buzz from the tv. Delivery from CEVA was not as smooth as I would have liked, I chose scheduled delivery 12 - 4 PM, I did not receive a call the night before nor the morning of the scheduled delivery. Rather than trust fate, I called CEVA at 9 AM they were surprised that I had not been contacted and did apologize. They then indicated that I would get a call from the driver an hour before the delivery. Being that it was a Friday rather than waiting for a call from the driver, I decided to leave the office a little after noon. It was a good thing that I did, when I arrived at home (around 12:30) the delivery truck was there and the driver indicated that had another five minutes gone by he would have left. Bottom line, you definitely want to be proactive if CEVA is delivering.
Delivery issues aside, two other items of note. There are currently no games available from Samsung Apps for the plasma TV model. This is not well advertised, even Samsung Tier 1 and Tier 2 support were unaware of this. It took me a week of calling Samsung before this was disclosed to me. Apparently more focus is being placed on the LCD/LED TV where Samsung Apps is concerned. I've posted my initial chat transcript below for those that are interested.
One other, in my opinion, odd limitation is the default behavior of the TV when the Samsung Blu-ray player is turned off if using the Anynet+ feature. Anynet+ is Samsung's implementation of HDMI CEC. This feature is pretty handy, for example when I turn on the Blu-ray player the TV is automatically turned on and the input is automatically change to the HDMI input that the Blu-ray is on. The behavior I don't like is when the Blu-ray player is turned off the input on the TV is switched to the Antenna (TV) input. That may be fine for most folks but it sure would be nice if that default behavior could be changed to automatically switch it to another input such as HDMI1 which is the input I'm using for my CABLE STB. It's not a huge issue I just find it strange that it's hard coded and cannot be changed.
Ultimately despite this, I still would have purchased the Plasma TV over the LED TV.
