I bought a Samsung 55" TV a couple of years ago (I forget the model) and hated it. The dynamic contrast control, even at the lowest setting (impossible to turn off on that model) was ridiculous. Playing any game with a dark scene meant looking at a black screen. Any time the credits came on after a show/movie, you could barely make out the names. Samsung support was beyond useless. Picture quality was mediocre even on normal scenes, IMO. It had other issues, too. Slow, unresponsive interface, shitty SmartTV functions, etc. For about a grand, it was extremely disappointing.

I took it back after 2 weeks and got a Sony W790. It had its own problems out of the box, but it didn't take long to fix them (which was essentially disabling the power saving options, though it took a little bit to figure out that was the cause). Quite happy with the TV aside from the occasional Netflix issues.
