> It would be nice if you could post some images of the set.

I'm at work but I'll post photos tonight if I get the chance.

> How is the glossiness of the screen? Disturbing?

Definitely not disturbing. I actually really like the glossiness.

> Is there any high pitch or any other (unwanted) noise coming from the TV?

No, nothing from mine. I have got down behind it to check and there was nothing. The USB harddisk makes more of a hum than the TV.

> Is there any clouding, bleeding etc.?

I'm not an expert in this field but I've had a look with the lights off and a black screen looks completely uniform to me.

> Did you try any gaming - if yes. Is input lag disturbing?

I'm running the XBOX 360 over the VGA connection and it seems to run without any perceptible lag. However, a signal from the PC via HDMI/DVI has a clear and disruptive lag which I haven't worked out how to remove yet. Game mode (which largely eliminates the lag) didn't appear to be available over the PC HMDI port although I didn't spend much time looking for it.

> So if I understand correctly, streaming of video files through DLNA (ethernet) does not work? I always had a feeling that it does. To bad .

Unless you make an effort to re-encode your video files to meet the DLNA video requirements, then no, it doesn't work. Samsung ought to reconsider this in a firmware upgrade (which is possible over USB) as it defeats an otherwise extremely useful feature.

> What is your overall opinion about the set?

I am extremely pleased with it. The AVI and MKV video compatibility means the TV can use its internal upscaler on those videos (rather than relying on XBMC), and the output looks amazing.

> Can you let me know what the sd picture it like.

SD stuff looks great for me on high bandwidth channels like BBC, ITV, BBC NEWS 24. The BBC wildlife program about whales was jaw dropping, especially with motionflow enabled. The low bandwidth channels do look awful IMO (music channels, QVC etc). I don't watch them anyway.
