Yes, the Samsung is very expensive, however the picture quality is just hands down gorgeous- the most effective I've ever seen with a screen bigger than 70" far and away. It looks being very, very close the Sharp Elite 70", that is the best rated big screen TV currently available.
I took my "Thor" 3D blu-ray with me (it provides a lots of dark scenes that torture 3D TV presentation) and "Children of men" (a lot of high-contrast scenes) to run the ground models through their paces and here's what I developed...
The Samsung's contrast and black level detail was far superior to anyone else with bright color and outstanding picture quality. 3D became a revelation- I have not seen a TV capable of present such resolution and detail in 3D mode with a super-large screen before. The "micro-dimming" works spectacularly in putting together a vivid, high-contrast picture that outshines any devices in it's size. The more I analyzed and compared, the greater the Samsung UN75ES9000 separated itself in the rest. I could truthfully only pick one up fault (well, besides that scary price!)- a momentary, slight pixilation occurring occasionally in certain aspects of a couple of moving images- which could be considered a result of having some motion enhancement put off or on within the set ( I didn't have the staff on the market do anything whatsoever else differently shut off the mode for the TV's that cause the "soap-opera effect"- a plague on all 120/240 Hz LED's that luckily could be shut off). But if you choose the top picture that money can buy at the moment at under $10K, this amazing 75" TV fulfills the many wishes.
In contrast, the Sharp Aquos 80" LED can be a nice entry- the image is clean, with good blacks, nice color and decent contrast- much less brilliant and looked as the Samsung, but nevertheless powerful set. I did so chose the Sharp to possess some ghosting occasionally when viewing in 3D, not terrible, but nevertheless noticeable when it seems like. The clarity in those tough, dark scenes was slightly muted, especially after seeing the Samsung, however it is still pretty decent. Once you add Sharp reliability, a 5" larger screen and a price at almost half the Samsung it then becomes a troublesome decision to make.
A less expensive, but wise decision for those within a strict budget include the Mitsubishi DLP sets. I've owned several and never has a downside to any. If your main watch mode is broadcast TV and "normal" movies you almost certainly can't get it wrong. DLP's suffer a bit with blooming in dark scenes as well as the darkest scenes in 3D viewing may become almost totally beaten up, but also for everyday watching they're quite satisfactory and less than half the cost of a comparably sized LED set.
Well, that's just my opinion according to several days spent at two stores, heading back and forth having salespeople play my movies between one set and another and watching from 12-15 feet away (except I acquired even 5 feet from your Samsung and yes it still looked spectacular!)- do your individual research! I'm still undecided for the moment- reliability issues mentioned in some places on the net with past Samsung TV's that leave me not wanting to pull the trigger for $9K, while i might get a good upgrade from my old Mitsubishi to a darn nice 80" Sharp for nearly half that. Without doubt, those fears could possibly be somewhat unfounded, for the reason that latest Consumer Reports rates the 2 exactly the same in reliability- that is certainly depending on reports from many consumers, not only the small sampling that post online.
