Backlight inconsistencies, especially with 3D, Very unhelpful picture presets, Crosstalk with 3D

Samsung's ES7000 and ES8000 TVs are gorgeous to look at, innovative with their features and their interfaces, and capable of some outstanding picture quality. But they're also likely beyond the financial means of a large chunk of the TV buying...
