 DO NOT BUY Jan 26, 2010
The Samsung 8 Series has an issue with the IR signal being too strong. It does not work with Set top boxes from any major cable provider (Cablevision, Comcast, Time Warner). When Samsung informed me that a new part and service would be requested for me, I was very pleased. TWO MONTHS LATER AND NO SERVICE I recieved a phone call from Samsung that they no longer make the part and would not replace the television with a similar model. They offered me a refund to walk away.
After being sold a defective model and the poor quality of customer service, I WILL NEVER BUY A SAMSUNG AGAIN!
 Danger - Samsung Warranty - No Wireless Support Dec 07, 2009
I will Never buy another Samsung Product again. Why, you ask?
I purchased this TV (LN46A850) 10 months ago (Feb.'09). One of the main reasons I selected this TV was for its wireless LAN ability. I'm just now getting around to adding this function so I can connect the TV to my wireless network and I find that Samsung does not support this function even though its in the specifications and in the User's Manual. It requires a Samsung wireless LAN adapter (pt# WIS-08BG2X) that is only available from Samsung.
Problem: Samsung does not sell this item any longer and there is nowhere else to get one!
I attempted to do a warranty claim today and the customer service people tell me its too late, that I should have returned the TV within the first 30 days if I didn't like it. This TV is still under warranty and Samsung will provide no technical support, no firmware fix, no wireless adapter and no warranty exchange! I'm stuck with this TV that has no wireless capability and Samsung says, "Sorry, can't help you!" I just wanted to warn anyone what to expect from Samsung in case you are foolish enough to purchase one of their products. I learned the hard way. Samsung, never again!
 Networking and DLNA support Oct 26, 2009
I bought the LN46A850 120Hz LCD TV for the networking capabilities. This included: Internet widgets (weather), news headlines, DLNA Digital media servers (DMS), Digital media players (DMP), Digital media controllers (DMC),Digital media renderers (DMR). The TV device is unique in that it plays (renders) VIDEO. Most of the more basic DLNA devices just do pictures (e.g. JPEG) and audio (e.g. MPEG). Other codecs are supported but I've not tried them all yet.
In retrospect the video capabilities are fairly limited in the codecs they support. I'm trying this with Windows 7 (Windows Media Player) and still doing some testing. Keep your expectations low with video and consider a PC-attached media server if you plan on actually using "slide show" photo control, but I understand a remote control (v. keyboard) is a very attractive option for technically challenged users.
The 120hz is a big win over older technology especially when viewing sports. I'm unaware of any significantly better performance using 240Hz. My older Samsung 32" HDTV has had some modulation processing errors on HD audio. On my older Samsung HDTV, I often had garbled sound when watching HD / QAM. On this HDTV we have not had this problem. The LN46A850 is fairly thin and wall mountable but IT's A TV! --- not a piece of art. A

Bad backlight bleeding, crappy UI Jul 18, 2009
When watching in a dark room, there's massive backlight bleeding, meaning there's big white-ish areas in the bottom left and top right. The color is of course completely washed out in those areas. Going to try exchanging it first, in hopes that it's just this unit. Typically this type of thing results from shoddy design, though.
Other thoughts: picture scaling on over-the-air HD channels is horrid. You have to go thru 4 submenus, and then your choices are, center smaller images in the middle of the TV, distort the hell out of them, or zoom to the point where much of the image is cropped out. Make your choice, change to channel a channel with different resolution, and you have to repeat these steps. How embarrassing! The UI for the rest of the functions on the remote is equally poor, and the scrollwheel is unusable (thankfully you can click through it as an alternative). Clearly they need to hire a usability nerd away from Sony or Apple.
The bezel (and the display) is so shiny it'll mirror any direct lighting in your room right back to you.
Save your money.
 amazing Jun 17, 2009
After much research, about 6 mos worth, this is the HDTV I selected for my anniversary gift. It is all and more of everything written about it! I am amazed at the picture, clarity AND it was pretty darn easy to set up!

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
