Anyone have any problems with the viewing angles? Heard vertical angles were less than ideal

No problems here. Ours is mounted on wall and you can see even if you were to have your shoulder against the wall. I would suggest buying the Samsung wall mount as it is fairly easy to install and allows you to access ports

Hey there, If you stand 2 feet from the tv with your chin at the same level as the top bezel, then that isn't a good viewing angle. Otherwise, the viewing angle on this TV is excellent.

Not sure where you heard that. It s nearly perfect 180 side to side. The only issue is if you look at it from below at less than two feet away. I've had the 64" set for 6 months and who ever sees it is blown away by the picture quality. All guests want to do is watch tv when there at our house.

We did not have a problem. We do NOT gave wall mounted. We do sit pretty close.

So far the only way is to manually set the vertical / portrait view is through the windows display tool or graphic card utility tool. I wish it could do this automatically as it turns (that would be a cool feature). I'm still experimenting with it. If I find out more, I will definately post it. You can also post your questions on their facebook page and see if they can help.

not really, the panel is an IPS panel...therefore it has lots of viewing angles

I am OK with it. The only thing that surprised me when I looked at it from an angle about 45 degrees (approximately) was the change of colors (slight). But mostly I work with this monitor looking straight at it, so there is not much to say about it. Hope this helps.

The picture from an angle is more than acceptable. My TV is setup on the short wall of a rectangular room, so it's not really an issue for me, but having just stood and watched for a while on the side of the tv, it's not that bad. The picture/colors don't degrade much until you reach an almost unwatchable angle, so it's almost a non-issue. Aside from the issues I've had with the networking rendering the TV useless, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this tv again.

No there is not enough vertical clearance unless you had really small monitors. You can check there website for more info

I am inclined to think something is wrong. Mine has a nice picture. I did no adjustments on my monitor. I kept the factory setting because the picture was great.

Viewing angle is very good...I have mine in a workout room and its great from all angles.

I didnt see much of distortion. It just crops a bit from top and bottom. U can even chose not to be on full screen.

Not very good at viewing the screen at most angles. Only a very few angles provide good viewing. Viewing from sides/top/bottom are not very good.

I've had this model for quite some time. There is a little degradation from an angle but it's not bad at all. I can't imagine that anyone would position a chair at a viewing angle that would make it unacceptable - it'd have to be practically beside the TV.

I didn't have any vertical line issues, but the first one that I got had some issues and didn't respond I did exchange it and the second one is working great with no issues (I did install it around 2 month ago)

Steven, link me to a 2D scrolling shooter, and I'll snap a picture of this monitor at 90 rotation. Right now just browsing the web I can see a slight haze on the screen. If I look at it at different angles the screen gets dark, but head on it looks nice just not as bright.

Indeed, in line with CNET's review, I've found there is a difference when viewed from off-center. Our set is about 110" away from our couch (2 screen widths), and the vertical center of the screen is about 6" above eye level. When viewed about 5-6' laterally off-center, there is a definite difference - the image appears slightly duller. This does not get any worse the further out you go, but I've only gone another 3' laterally. I was disappointed that I could notice a difference, but to be honest, after owning the set for a month, I can't really see this difference anymore, and have absolutely no qualms about sitting 5-6' off-center. However, I can still detect a difference in the vividness of this set vs. the LN46A650 in our bedroom.

I would rate the viewing angle...or the ability to view the numbers clearly from multiple angles as good, but not great. This is not helped by the fact that the screen is bordered by a flange-like edge that leaves it recessed cutting off light. That said I have been happy with the unit.

I had a problem with mine. The viewing tubes were misaligned, one look up one down, just a little. I have not been able to use them, I am returning them.

Hello. Yes, the screen will swivel a few degrees in each direction to optimize the viewing angle.
