Exclamation Finally made my Purchase and bought UN46B8500. Rant

I went to buy my tv on Sunday and first stop was Best Buy. Based on my room size and how close I sit to the tv I figured that 46 inches was perfect. At first I asked how much was the UN55B8000 and they were selling it for $2399. I was close to buying it there and decided to hold off and go to PC Richards and Son here in New Jersey. The guy had the tv for the same deal but he said he would throw in a free wall mount. So I went there and bought the 55B8000 with the free wall mount and he then even threw in the 2 year plan for free. So I was stoked but then I noticed on the receipt that he gave me the 55B8000 for $200 less then it was advertised for and charged me the $200 for 2 years. This led me to believe that he could have sold me the tv for $200 less and offered me the option of 2 year warranty. But I digress.

I get home and plug the tv and right away I thought 55 inches was to damm big for my room. I loved the huge tv but for my room it was a drag to have.
At first I was willing to overlook how big it was for my room because the PQ was great until i saw the horrible clouding issue. I knew of the corners because is edge lit but this one had it all over and it looked like a cat stepped on white paint and walked all over my screen. It was killing me.

I downloaded the firmware and nothing helped. It was horrible in dark spots and when ending credits came on with a movie. I then packed it up and returned it to the store. Now PC Richards has a horrible return policy, they give you 20 days and it has to be damaged for a return or refund. If you not happy then is on you.

But I went anyway and told them that the clouding is to much on that tv and I have seen other sets around that did not have it that bad. So they decided to let me exchange it for the 46B8500. I told them that 6th Ave had e-mailed me a special price on the 46B8500 for $2089. They had it for $2399 at PC Richards. So they decided to price match at the cost of me losing my free 2 year service plan with them which I thought was lame. But I told them that I would not want their lame service plan and I will get my one year with Samsung and if need buy another one on the side if possible.

They told me that they only took my tv back because i had the 2 year with them and I told them that they had to because they sold a tv that has the known issue 10x worst. So they relented and gave me my new tv and refunded me the difference of about $220 bucks

Sucks that I do not have their 2 year service plan but they did not do it because they had to match 6th ave store price which was much less then theirs so they took away my plan unless I paid for it. Never will buy from them again

I got home last night with my new tv and loved it. If fits right in my room and the clouding is not there like on the other bigger set. Great PQ

Does anyone have any good settings for gaming on 360 or PS3
