Samsung makes a pretty good panel. If it looks good then get it if you don't think it does then don't. Here is a link of some owner reviews. You can also check what people on amazon have to say.

oh i think that the TV looks amazing. I've never seen an LCD with black levels like this TV has.

I was just looking for some more opinions on the set, thats all

Yeah, I'm not sure Samsung gets much airtime here-they are kind of a middle tier company in terms of units sold........I looked at some in Costco I think and the picture was stunning.......what is the price point? I looked at the quik manual and it has plenty of features to hook up to. Two hdmi in ports.
I don't follow the hdmi thing much, but I think two is pretty good.

You'll get better responses to questions if you give more info rather than saying- "is this unit any good?" What is your father looking for? Is he a movie watcher? Is this tv going to be hooked to a nice home theatre audio system, or just a set top cable box? If your dad is a senior is this tv easy to operate?

One thing to look out for is the amount of reflection of this particular series (65). If you have a lot of uncontrollable light in your viewing room, you may wish to look at a different lcd with a matte fish.

Otherwise, you should really elaborate more on your particular application when asking "how's this tv?" If the set looks good to you and your dad, and even better when compared to other sets, then go for it.

As far as Samsung being a "middle-tier" lcd brand, I couldn't disagree more. Just my $.02...
