Good: Looks great, great picture quality with movies and DVD playback
Bad: Very poor picture quality if you are like me and are a football nut, ghosting and poor backgrounds, dark areas appear to move and look two-tone! Overall disappointment.
Comment: Tomorrow I am changing it for a Panasonic plasma in the search for that great footy experience.

Bad: Remote is a bit fiddly
Comment: Good connectivity - works well with camcorder and memory cards (sd, compact flash and USB).

Good: Future-proof connectivity and class-leading picture sharpness
Bad: Not 100 hz like upcoming "M73" range which all but eliminates any motion blur
Comment: It is after all an LCD and any cons are due to its LCD "dna"!
The Sony kdl 32v200 WAS the class leader here but lacked on the connectivity front. It only has one hdmi, no PC output and for the up to the minute spec sheet, a substandard connectivity range on the whole.
This LCD has 2x hdmi, an impressive contrast ratio of 6000:1 (Sony: 1000:1 approx) and a class-leading ability to display even the remotest of colours... This will obviously have to be tweaked a little depending on personal taste and to subjectively provide the most "real" picture.
Sound is acceptable but is far from the best. However this can be remedied and brought up to par via external sound through an optical digital output.
So overall, this TV is good, very good. The price is great value, it is the most future-proof of any other set currently available and the design is strikingly elegant.
Sound is pretty average and it's not 100hz like the m73 range but on the whole, given the choice between this, the Sony or the realtively impressive Toshiba, my money would be on this Samsung n73
