-200
I bought one when they just came out R29 999 ... could not live with it. Samsung's image processing is horrific ... motion jitter, false contouring, blue/red bands when panning across people's faces. Image is better with NTSC material, but these okes never tested properly at PAL refresh rates (and no, it's not a case of me not knowing how to set/callibrate the thing), they had new firmware out to correct some of the issues, but the SA models will only accept a specific firmware update, and they have not brought that out yet. I wanted a really good TV and knew that Pioneer's KURO was the absolute best, but then saw that I could have this Samsung at 10G's less and it has FullHD!
Anyway, I then convinced the shop to source me a 508XG KURO and paid in R10K. The best R10K I have ever spent. Image quality is lightyears ahead of anything Samsung has. If you can afford it, get a KURO while you still can, really worth it.
