Advantages: None

Disadvantages: Too many to list

This machine is supposed to do all sort of things.
I bought it to replace an LG unit that has been damaged, and with which I had no problems.
The USB port will not accept my new Iomega media centre . It will not recognize a Verbatim hard drive. It will not recognize a Sandisk cruzer memory stick or an Easy-Disk stick or a Canyon stick.
There is a delay in TV mode when changing channels.
I took it back to the store and they gave me another one.
It is exactly the same as the first one.
I phoned the Samsung Help Centre (God Help Us) and the genius there told me to download the "Firmware" for the unit on to a memory stick and install it to the machine.
"Gues what" The stupid machine wont read the memory stick or any of the other three that I tried.
I will be bringing it back and asking for a refund.
I WONDER WHAT THE letters SH in the model name are an abbreviation for?

Summary: A total waste of money.
