I work in the AV industry and tried to assist my dad in purchasing a TV. When we found out my first TV choice was delayed for an unknown amount of time he didn't want to wait and got this B6000 (instead of the 8000) on Amazon. Here are some issues I've seen with the TV.
1. Motion blur
I've noticed ridiculous motion blur or ghosting with this TV. I was quite appalled by it. I've adjusted settings fruitlessly (there isn't that much to adjust) to no avail. This is all coming in on the satellite feed and while it is a 120hz TV I noticed the incoming signal always says 1920x1080 60hz. I can't get it to change from there. In the end it may just be the satellite box (Dish DVR). Perhaps someone else can confirm this in the comments.
2. LED Edge-lit
I would stay away from edge-lit TVs for now. If you're wall mounting and you MUST have an ultra thin TV then go for it. But if you want excellent screen uniformity then you'll want to avoid it.
3. Controls
The amount of picture adjustment controls seems very limited.
4. GLOSSY SCREEN!
I don't know why manufacturers are making TV's with glossy screen. I can only guess that it costs significantly less to make than a matte screen. You can see every bit of light reflecting in this screen. If you like to have a light on while you're watching TV, make sure the light is right above/behind the TV or it's behind you and you're sitting off to the side. Otherwise you'll be plenty annoyed on any dark/semi-dark scene. On the bright scenes you don't really notice it.
On a more positive note:
Through Blu-Ray it looks very amazing. In fact, perhaps too good. Several movies I've watched on Blu-Ray actually are so crisp and sharp that it looks like a movie set instead of a real life scene. That ruins it a tiny bit for me. The best example would be Dark Knight.
The motion blur has made me think poorly of this TV. I do hope it's just something to do with Dish's DVR box. But if it only does 60hz on all boxes, why bother? My brother has a slightly older model Samsung 120hz 52" that looks great over Brighthouse. Again, if anyone has Dish w/ this TV please put a comment on whether there is motion blur for you.

I read some of the reviews and concerns with this TV, because at this moment, I've only had it for two weeks, and I'm still within the 30-day return period.
I have not yet been able detect the light cones coming from the edges while watching the TV in a dark room. The stunning picture seems to me equally impressive regardless of the level of light in the room. I appreciate the review from the customer who posted his information and recommended to buy the LCD instead of the LED, but I simply have not been able detect the problem that made him return the TV. I also respect but disagree with the person who made the remarks about the bad quality of sound, and recommended not buying the sound bar. I got my TV at Best Buy and the deal I found included the sound bar with the wireless sub-woofer for free.
The TV speakers sound to me just fine, nice volume without distortion, and in combination with the sound bar the sound is as good as it gets without a full-featured high-end home theater system.
My only bad experience with this TV happened while connecting the sound bar to the TV using the supplied optical cable. The supplied cable was so short that it barely allowed the connection, and forced it to fold sharply, because the audio port on the sound bar is on the end most distant from where it is on the TV (clearly a design mismatch from Samsung). But the real problem came when sliding the optical jack into the fragile port behind the TV. Even though I was careful, I could hear a snap, and noticed that the tiny door in the optical receptacle broke off. I suspect that it may have been broken from the start, but perhaps it broke while I was making the connection. The result was a faulty connection that caused the sound bar's volume to go up and down. I had to use tape to keep the optical cable aligned in place, because the broken receptacle would not hold the optical jack firmly in place. For this reason, I brought back the TV to the store and got a replacement. This time I bought a longer optical cable and made the connection with even more care, very very slowly. I heard a click, and this time nothing was broken and the cable stayed in place. I'm now enjoying my TV with no sound problems. The sound bar not only greatly enhances the TV's sound, but also looks great, as it matches the TV's classy Touch of Color edge look. The wireless sub-woofer is not very powerful (although it is quite large and heavy) but it does help to provide a sense of bass and surround sound, as I placed it on the opposite corner of the room from the TV. It automatically connects without wires every time the sound bar is turned on.
I think that this TV along with its sound bar and sub-woofer will be a keeper. The positive by far outweighs the negative. I definitely recommend it, just be extremely careful when connecting that optical cable.

After month of use am quite well satisfied with the picture quality. Prices seem to be coming down on this technology. Am mostly satisfied with Amazon except for the fact 12 hours later they send a sale on the unit with free wall mount that would give most people a bad taste. Am supposed to understand how this company works, o well!!!!!!!!!

This TV is just plain sexy. The thin profile is a huge selling point when you're talking first impressions, but the vivid colors, amazing screen brightness, and razor sharp picture are the real stars here. All visual aspects of this TV are just indescribable.
The only con I can think of is the auto-dimming feature. When the screen is mostly dark objects and contrast, the overall brightness of the screen decreases to give you the illusion of deeper blacks. Normally it works like a charm, but it can be a bit of a nuisance when you're in the middle of a dark scene in a video game, trying to find something.
I checked around, and this seems to be a common annoyance. I've heard rumors that Samsung might release a software update which would include the option to turn this feature off in the OSD menu. I am all for this!
The AutoMotion Plus feature has 4 settings: Clear(low), Standard(medium), Smooth(high), and Off. I keep it on "Clear". This seems to get rid of any blurring, yet avoid making the picture look fake. Most movies and TV shows are filmed at 24fps (frames per second). If you speed that up to faster than it was originally shot, it starts to look artificial. This annoys me. The only times I turn on the "smooth" setting are during Live Sports and Nature Shows (ie. Planet Earth on Blu-Ray!). Those types of shows are shot at 30fps, which matches up better with the 120Hz refresh rate known as "Smooth".
Hope this helps!
But just to reiterate.... THIS TV IS AMAZING!
Oh, and to those of you complaining about the sound quality of the built-in speakers... The TV is 1" thick! Just what do you realistically expect? That's like complaining about the sound quality of the speakers in your cellphone. Seriously.... if you're going to invest this much in a TV, pony up and get a 5.1 system. Even a cheap one.
