Not pleased with my Samsung 46C9000

I have my C9000 now for 2 weeks and I'm not pleased with it's performance.
I don't really mind the PQ and I know that it isn't delivering top performance as you would expect from such an expensive set.
However, my major problem is the remote which doesn't work. The link between the TV and the remote is more down than up. The firmware of the remote is old (01/01/2010) and I can't update the thing as it refuses to find the "server" (whatever that is) to do the upgrade. Even when I connect it to an open wireless network the upgrade is failing. It also refuses to connect to any secured network setup.
Conclusion: I would NOT buy it again :-(
Samsung C9000 LED TV

I own this TV; after comparing the picture at Best Buy between the C8000 and this one, I decided to get it.
The picture in this one looked a little better plus the remote was also a selling point. But back to the picture on the C9000, after extended use has an improved edge LED technology. It doesn't fluctuate when the picture changes from light to dark and doesn't leak light from the sides.
After tweaking the settings the black levels are great really reflecting true blacks and the picture is very smooth with the motion plus set high. The picture in this TV does not blow away the C8000 but it's a little better and with all the other features that this TV has, I think it justifies the price.
Samsung 55-inch C9000 LED TV - Owner's Opinion
by Walt

I have had this 55-inch Samsung LED HDTV for over a year and have been completely impressed by it and ever one of it's features.
The edge lit LED backlight doesn't ever affect the viewing angle beyond a few degrees; and it makes this HDTV use just only a few watts for such a big screen size.
The 3D technology is so great especially for movies that have impressive graphics.
The remote can function as an extra screen for viewing a different channel as well as just being a really cool addition to the TV. It is one of those features that makes every one I've show it to, to be highly impressed despite it's expensive $500 replacement cost (which I've done twice due too teething dogs). Aside from the remote everything else has stayed in tip-top shape and works like it just came out of the box.
This flagship Samsung LED HDTV is well worth the price despite others' opinions.
Kudos to Samsung!
