Hell no! This TV is basically just a larger 1080p LED TV. So it has gesture control, big deal. If LG manages to release the 84" 84LM9600 this year at a $10k price point, it'll stomp all over this 75" Samsung offering. I think it's way overpriced for what it is. If it was $7k then I'd say that was a fair price, but not $10K!
dont care what it is when you are buying a used car to put on your wall thats when things get dumb. straight up might as well consider the sharp 90" at this point since its beyond bigger more screen and all oh and 3d at least. seriously 5k is my limit on any tv i dont really care the features oh local dimming lets add another 5k to the price point. the thing about these tvs are they will never sell in this rough economy folks struggle with a 2k price point so do you really think the average american wants to spend over 2k. we are to the point now and days where you can get sharp 70" models for 2k something to consider

No! Sharp seems like a much better tv
Why would you when you can get the Sharp 80" full array for less than half. They will be lucky to sell more than 1000 units, just like Sharp's 90". The price/performance ratio is just not there. Also, you have 4K coming on the larger sizes next year, which makes it an even worse buy.

So, do we know for sure whether this is edge-lit or full-array with local dimming? If it's full-array with LD, it may be worth about 7.5K~8.5K., considering MSRP of the 70" Elite. Those five extra inches have gotta be worth something, right?

New York - Samsung used its new sponsorship of SpaceFest at the Intrepid Air & Space Museum here Thursday to unveil the newest flagship model in its LED-edge-lit LCD TV series - the 75-inch ES9000.
Samsung"Samsung's Joseph Stinziano unveils the 75-inch ES9000 LED edge-lit LCD TV with a host of interactive smart features, including a gesture-controlled version of the Angry Birds video game."
The 3D-capable FullHD 1080p TV features an ultra-thin (0.31-inches curved bezel) cosmetic design with a rose-gold-colored finish, voice and gesture control menu operation along with other Smart Interaction features, including a new app for Rovio's popular Angry Birds video game property, developed for the first time to work with Samsung's gesture-controlled TVs instead of traditional controllers.
Angry Birds will be available via free download later this month on Samsung 2012 LED 7500 series and up models and 8000 series plasma models. In addition, a dedicated app for Angry Birds animated content will be available later this year, the company said.
The Samsung ES9000 will be available in August at specialty retailers and will carry a $10,000 suggested retail price.
Other features in the ES9000 include the complete suite of Samsung Smart TV features-Smart Interaction, Smart Content and Smart Evolution-as well as a hidden camera that pops up from the top of the TV's bezel to make video calls on applications such as Skype.
The set also introduces a new Sound Share feature that provides wireless connectivity via Bluetooth to Samsung's Series 6 and Series 7 Wireless Audio with Dock Systems.
Samsung provided a tour of the Space Shuttle Enterprise during its media event at the Intrepid Thursday."Samsung provided a tour of the Space Shuttle Enterprise during its media event at the Intrepid Thursday."
Joseph Stinziano, Samsung Home Entertainment senior VP, said the introduction of the 75-inch ES9000 meets the rising market demand for extra-large screen TVs.
"This year in the U.S., 32-inch is still the most popular screen size and accounts for nearly a third of total unit volume," Stinziano said. "In 2013, industry research firm NPD expects the average screen size to exceed 40 inches."
He added that consumers have told Samsung that "they want more content and they want to find it more easily. They want smart interfaces and more intuitive controls."
The ES9000 is powered by a dual-core processor to run a arrange of advanced next-generation Smart TV apps and browse the Web more quickly.
The ES9000's picture quality is enhanced using Samsung's Micro Dimming Ultimate and Precision Black Local Dimming technology to deliver "the highest contrast ratio on a Samsung Smart TV to date; and the best picture quality available on a Samsung LED TV," the company said.
Samsung also used the press conference to announce its corporate sponsorship of SpaceFest, a five-day celebration (July 19-22) of the arrival of the Space Shuttle Enterprise at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, located in the de-commissioned aircraft carrier.
The Samsung Smart TV Space Station is an immersive, interactive experience that also provides demonstrations of Samsung Smart TV technology. Consumers will have an opportunity to experience the connected viewing, connected content and connected gaming experiences of the company's flagship 2012 TV models.
"We couldn't imagine a better way to unveil our new flagship TV and a literally game-changing new app, then here at the Intrepid alongside the Space Shuttle Enterprise," said Stinziano. "The Intrepid and Space Shuttle are each iconic symbols of innovation and discovery and Samsung also is driven to push boundaries and deliver a sense of wonder and delight."

sounds like a load of marketing BS, just like those sky-high dynamic contrast ratio figures (like 30 million to one for the ES8000, which actually has a native on/off CR of about 3700:1 according to CNET)
also, who gives a damn about things like Angry Birds and gesture control?

when the Sharp Elite starts to sound like a value, you know the Samsung is ridiculously overpriced

and for the record, it's edge-lit (the Samsung)

I like the idea of being able to buy a 60"+ TV for $1500 or less. I imagine plasmas offer the best value in this respect.
