Level design, there is no denying it: it is beautiful !!! The outline provides end made it very unusual (for me), it was almost like watching the video without screen! Superb !!!
Quality Level, I expected to see the flaws of an Edge LED and ... And I really expected everything but not in picture quality as beautiful. This TV is replacing an LCD HD 1080p 40 "Samsung bought there 3 years, yet there is a world of difference between my old LCD and LED! This is monstrous! The blacks are deep, the colors not bad at all (as far as can bring out an Edge LED ^^) and again, the fine outline finalizes everything perfectly!
Of course, there are some clouding (white clouds in dark images), but in a movie you really focus on it to see it. I looked first in Avatar Bluray and I can tell you that I rediscovered the film compared to my LCD! Seriously, the picture is beautiful ...
Level features, the "SmartHub" is very nice. I'm not too users of this kind of gadgets (I have too much stuff like: AppleTv, Box, PS3 ...), but it has some cool features and is very well done. As some say, text entry (for the browser, for example) is Bitchy via remote. If you have an iPhone (or iPad), download the app on the App Store, it's great practice!
Unlike some brand model, the parameter settings are numerous (image, sound, 3D ...)
Level: I will not comment because I have always had the same opinion on the speaker TV: "it's all rotten." So I go through an amp (currently a Yamaha RX-V371, a killer) and everything is perfect. So I do not think so much built-in speakers of the TV, but I am under no illusions :)
3D level, I tested:
- Wipeout HD on PS3 3D gaming, this is the best! The thing is that Wipeout can already do a headache 2D 3D ... So, it's well falter brain. But otherwise it is stunning!
- Other film clips in 3D (Shrek 4, Kung Fu Panda 2, etc.): here we see that this TV has a good 3D rendering, not the best it is on (some time image duplication time but I think we should get used to the 3D active.), but it does it well!
- The 2D / 3D adaptation of TV programs: that's no good and absolutely worthless. 3D, it is on targeted content (Bluray, games, etc.) but must stop believing that everything will look 3D ...
In general, for 3D it must be in the dark (the darkest possible), rather in front of the TV, especially not tired! It uses many, many, many! But again, I think that the brain needs a little time to adapt.
Small positive note (in addition): 2 pairs of 3D glasses were in the box (model purchased: 46 ")
Latest news: the slab is bright enough. It reflects light if the room is too bright. Not to put a window in what was :)
For the price, I do not regret my choice! Come on, what are you waiting?
[EDIT OF 05/10/2011]
I've tested a bit better 3D !!! Yesssss!
- Other movies in HD 2D: I remain impressed with the quality compared to my old LCD. On, we see a little clouding in dark passages, but this is quickly forgotten compared to the overall quality of the film. Wonderful!
- Green Hornet 3D / Pirates of the Caribbean 4 3D / Rio 3D: finally, I am not disappointed with 3D movies. The animations (like Rio) make it a little better than the real films (logic you might say), but in general, it's really nice. It tires me less than I expected, my wife likes it (and believe me, she was rather mixed on 3D) and the whole is very enjoyable to watch.
- Uncharted 3 in 3D on PS3: a killer !!! 3D takes its magnitude in the game. Moments, we are left even to be bothered so we are in action (fall of a hero building = it seems to fall with him is great!). I did not think I enjoy 3D games at this point.
