Guys, what kind of TV stand are you using for this massive TV?  Where to buy?

Successfully installed the unit via wall mount this evening, special thanks to Samsung Davao's technicians. Indeed, this is one of my BEST BUYS!...Excellent PQ even via default "standard" or "dynamic" picture settings. Used the recommended setting/calibration (via a link in this thread)...a definite STUNNER! Beats the hell out of my Toshiba 39" LED TV...VERY HAPPY! :D

Some screen shots:


*NOTE: Apart from "cropping" the above image, no other editing/enhancement was done


Thanks for looking! :D

need to line-up those HD movies for marathon :)

you'd really appreciate the PQ if you have an LED TV to compare it with

Need advise pls.

Am choosing between this 51F5000 and 51F4900, both offered at same price (P31k). I understand that 4900 is 3D while 5000 is not. And 5000 is FHD while 4900 is not.

But for my untrained eye, what would you suggest? 3D might come in handy for the kids. And do you know of better offers than this price for either of there 2 models? Other alternative brands/models at comparatively similar size/price?

Thanks a lot.

personally, i would go for the 51F5000 because of FHD capability, the advantage on resolution is something that you would regularly use until the time you let go of the tv ... 3D and Smart features are something that you would use in 2-3 weeks time then forget about it - first off, the smart features, however intuitive they are on commercials are really not that user friendly to use, you would be better off using your computer ... then the 3D, in my own experience (having another tv with 3D features), it was a big hit especially with the kids on the first 2 or 3 weeks - my tv with 3D is barely 2 months old and that 3D feature is forgotten ... just my opinion and my own experience anyway

another thing, i would not recommend Samsung for 3D because they use active glasses - free glasses are few, and additional glasses are expensive

+1 go for FHD than 3D.  I also have this unit and with a good source, this can produce very decent PQ.
