The UN55ES6500 55" Class Slim 3D LED HDTV from Samsung is an ultra slim 1080p HD panel with Samsung's own Smart TV technology. You will be able to watch your favorite movies while you browse the Web or explore the smart hub. Access all your apps and download new ones, such as Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Hulu Plus and Twitter.
Samsung's Smart TV has retooled its smart hub feature to further expand its access to a world of online entertainment. Smart hub enables multitasking and delivers an optimized viewing experience with single point access to the content that's the most important to you. It also allows you to search through hundreds of apps and use the fully optimized Web browser for a seamless user experience.
Plug in a USB thumb drive (not included) into one of the set's three USB ports and view a JPEG picture file slide show while you listen to a soundtrack of MP3 files from the same drive. It's a pleasure to listen to also. Just two stereo speakers (10W x 2) can create an uncanny surround sound illusion thanks to the wizardry of SRS TheaterSound HD.
The UN55ES6500 features AllShare Play, which enables your TV to wirelessly access and stream content from any compatible device, like a PC. That means you can share movies, photos and music all through a single device - your TV. Now with the benefits of cloud technology, you can access and even share content when you're away from home.
Finally, the UN55ES6500 is Skype compatible. With built-in Wi-Fi, all you need is a Web camera accessory and you can Skype with family and friends right on the big screen.

This was the easiest TV setup I have ever had.
Even though it had WiFi and other SmartTV options, the setup menu was self directed and straight forward. A couple of minor color tweaks to our preference and all we do is enjoy it.
Being without a large encasement, I wish we had bought a little larger TV, maybe a 60".
The picture quality is top notch, as expected.

Everything works well with this TV. Set up was easy. The only issue I had was getting my TV delivered. It took longer than expected. A few emails to B&H & they got the ball rolling with $ off. The TV has a nice picture, color & so far, it's a hit. Thanks again to B&H for staying on top of things.

Samsung is a company I trust and am very comfortable purchasing...It's our first Smart TV and we find it's easy for the whole family to use, and we enjoy all the apps that are available.
I would definitely recomment this model to friends and family!!!

Comments about Samsung UN55ES6500 55" Class Slim 3D LED HDTV:
I went from a dull projector tv to this amazing colorful experience. The colors, once you adjust slightly from the box, are excellent. Dont see any pixelation in action. Also loving that I dont have to use a wire to connect my iPhone to play Pandora. I can either play music direct from my iPhone using blue tooth, or play the app from the tv. The sound needs enhancement so I brought a sound bar. Works great with it. I love having apps, but getting them all to work is a bit problematic. Some you need to buy and the purchase process is not clear. I also purchased a keyboard to use for apps and browsing. Works OK for browsing, but not in Facebook. And had trouble connecting sometimes. My only real complaint is that to get this up and running with the apps I wanted, the sound bar, the keyboard, took about 5 hours. It used to take that long to set up a computer, which now takes 1 hour! But for this price, this TV is an amazing value!

Comments about Samsung UN55ES6500 55" Class Slim 3D LED HDTV:
Easy hook up.../ clean picture with close to no outer border frame.../was surprised that is has 3D that runs on Samsung software on non HD shows...works well but headaches like I always get with 3d in 10 minutes.../ tons of widget apps which work great but typing a bit clunky with the remote...
Over all by far best bang for the buck...light and thin to lift it over my head if needed...and free delivery by a shipping company that was prompt on time,letting me pick best day and time for delivery...I will be back to B&H for my next tv for bedroom next month.
