I have owned this set for about six weeks now, and I love it. The picture is exquisite, and far outpaces the three-year-old Sony VEGA set it replaced (the old set only did 720p, for one thing...).
Good stuff:
This TV is a real conversation starter. It's enormous, and very glossy (both on the screen and the bezel). The gloss makes fingerprints very obvious, and seems to attract dust...so you'll want to do some routine cleaning if you want to keep it looking nice. People sit down in my living room and just stare at the set, even if it's turned off. Some have compared it to the monolith in "2001: A Space Odyssey." That's...good, right?
The picture is stunning. The reviews here are right: the LED backlighting really makes things look great, and makes rich black really pop.
I recommend turning off the power-on LED (the little blue bar under the display) using the onscreen menus. When it's on, you can actually see the reflection of the power light on the bezel around the screen,

I have had my Samsung LNT4681F for over 2 weeks now and I could not be any happier. The colors that are produced on the screen are amazing, when my wife saw it she said "WOW!" I had a rear projection TV before and my wife and I love to watch movies. Whenever we rented some DVD's I would always steer clear of the ones in widescreen. I could stand the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. Very noticable, and if I did happen to watch a widescreen DVD I would change the screen ratio to stretch the picture and remove the black bars. With the Samsung LNT4681F there is no need to do any of this because it produces TRUE Blacks. I can quite easily watch a DVD in wide screen now and not for a minute do I even notice the black bars. I would highly recommend this TV to anyone.

I am in love with this TV. It has the best picture than ANY HDTV I have ever seen; LCD, Plasma, or otherwise. It's like you are looking through a window at the action in an adjacent room. Just unbelievable. I have absolutely no complaints. And the sleek glossy black styling looks great in your room also.

I traded up from my LN-T4671 to the 81 last week due to a service issue and Samsung was unable to provide me with a new set due to a long backorder line. Samsung was nice enough to allow me to pay the extra money and trade up to the 81. I am so pleased with it. The Black's are unreal.
I must really tell you that Samsung Executive Customer Relations in New Jersey for the most part was very uncaring. Most of the staff I spoke with sounded like they were stressed and burned out and could care less. I think Samsung has gotten too big for their brithces.
Samsung makes a great product. BEWARE OF THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY the price is OUTRAGIOUS. Twice that of Sony.
Aside from that I am quite pleased with the set, not so when it comes to the company itself. Samsung's web site is at best mediocre to poor. When I phoned them to complain about some non functioning links to service and lack of info re: extended warranty's the customer service people told me they were well aware of the problems and

When you see numbers like 5000:1 contrast, etc, it's hard to put a meaning to it, but when you compare this set against a CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) you discover why LED backlights are the wave of the future.
First we had NTSC with it's inability to produce deep reds due to the severe limitations on its color gamut, now we have ATSC with a digital RGB signal that is a hundred times better than NTSC when it comes to color. The final piece of the puzzle is viewing it on a system with red, green, and blue produced by LEDs instead of phosphor chemicals in a lamp tube. The bold, rich color of HDTV comes alive with this LCD TV making the others seem washed out in comparison.
Sure, the contrast ratio is great, but it also will outlast 2.5 CCFL based LCD TVs because of the reliability of LED backlighting. If you are in a commercial institution such as a restaurant where the set will run 12 hours a day or more, that can add up to some substantial savings.

This TV has a great picture right out of the box. Pretty easy setup. Quality I have come to expect from Samsung and the reason I bought this set. Plenty of inputs. Sound is also nice, but I use a Home Theater so I don't really rely on the TV's speakers. Very well-designed and looks gtreat on the wall. The stand which comes with the TV is also nice and could rotate a little more, but is nice and stable. The glare issue is not a big deal and I for one am glad Samsung is keeping this panel in the new generation LED sets. This has much less glare than a standard glass tube TV screen. In some settings you might be concerned about the glare, but the screen is wonderful and necessary for the overall picture quality. I used to watch TV with my glasses off because the fine grain stood out too much. Now I have my glasses back on because the picture is so sharp. The blacks are black, you can't get blacker than this. The detail amazing and I have not even watched a HD movie yet. I was
