Touch of Color

Inspired by designs from the automotive and fashion industries, Samsung’s unique unique Transparent and Opaque Color molding process creates a clean, smooth finish infused with a hint of a translucent color during the manufacturing process for an ultra-sleek appearance.

InfoLink

Up-to-the-minute access to weather, news, sports and stock information is just a cable and a click away through the HDTV’s Ethernet port and new InfoLink RSS service. An all-new user interface with digital contents management guide provides intuitive navigation and access to both internal and external content.

Auto Motion Plus 120Hz

This technology doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 frames per second (120Hz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. Instead, the TV intelligently calculates the ‘middle’ image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 120Hz processor), making a fluid transition from one frame to the next.

Super Clear Panel

Samsung enhances the clarity of select LCD HDTVs by replacing the light-diffusing plastic face of traditional LCD HDTVs with a  natural black panel with a clear anti-glare shield. Reduced reflection of external light creates a new dimension in image clarity, highlighting black and darkened areas, enabling vibrant, more compelling colors and a brighter, clearer picture.  Black will never again appear grayish. Black details will show in vivid black even in dark scenes. The latest version of Samsung’s breakthrough super clear panel technology makes colors appear more vibrant and blacks even deeper than ever. Enhanced films reduce glare and optimize off-angle viewing.

50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio/500 nit Brightness

50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio will give you a picture better than you ever thought possible, with whiter whites, blacker blacks and a nearly infinite subtlety of gradations in between. As two of the most important determining factors in overall picture quality, contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this latest generation LCD panel. Samsung’s new LCD TV’s give the most stunning realistic picture quality ever.

Full HD 1080P

Full HD, or 1080p, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean more pixels, more details and a better picture. The new Samsung LCD TV with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional HDTVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable. Samsung’s 1080p panel uses a new high-speed liquid crystal to cut response time to 4ms. The fast response time, coupled with Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz motion blur reduction technology dramatically reduces motion blur and judder.

Digital Natural Image Engine

DNIe™ The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine. This exclusive Samsung technology dramatically improves the picture by enhancing the contrast, detail, white balance and reduces.

Wide Color Enhancer/Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamp

The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp backlights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors. Samsung’s exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors – the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky.

Connectivity

To make the Series 6 a true entertainment hub for any home, Samsung has incorporated advanced HD connectivity and networking capabilities that expand the HDTV’s functionality. A wide variety of multimedia devices can be connected to the set through any one of the four Simplay compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs (including one on the side), and the handy HDMICEC feature lets you control all your CEC-enabled peripherals using just one remote. Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish components into the 2 rear connections and use the side-mounted input for cameras, camcorders, and laptops. HDMI is the best performing interface for displaying an HD source on an HDTV. Once connected, users can easily access device menus and manage and display content through the newly redesigned Wheel Key Remote control and the HDTV’s sophisticated content management interface. All Connections HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface version 1.3): 4 (3 rear/1 side) Ethernet port Component video: 2 (Y, Pb, Pr) S-Video input: 1 side/1 rear A/V inputs: 1 side/1 rear PC Inpuy (D-Sub): 1 RF antenna inputs: 2 HDMI-CEC Premium audio: Improved sound quality with dedicated low-range speaker system Headphone jack

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)

You already know something about digital living. There’s the TV and digital video recorder in your family room. (And another set in your bedroom.) You have a PC and digital printer in your office, along with a network attached storage device. And you’ve copied all your music onto your portable music player and haven’t had to open a CD case for years. But getting them to talk to each other can be pretty tough. Why is it still so difficult to send digital content from one device to another? Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a collaboration of the world’s leading consumer electronics, PC and mobile companies that has created design guidelines for a new generation of products that can work together — no matter the brand. Think for a moment about all of the photos "locked away" on your home PC that you wish you could access while entertaining your friends and family. Now, thanks to DLNA enabled devices, a DLNA-enabled PC can be accessed from the comfort of your living room or family room via a DLNA-enabled HDTV, where you can enjoy your memories with friends and family, without having to deal with the hassle and non-intuitive "PCexperience". Or, say you recently downloaded your daughter’s birthday party video from your digital camcorder to your PC. Now you want to share it with your parents who are visiting. Without DLNA, you probably have to burn a DVD of the video or hook up the camcorder to the TV. With DLNA, you can just use your TV’s remote to call up the video on your TV. That’s it.

Super Patterned Vertical Alignment

Samsung’s Super Patterned Vertical Alignment (SPVA) panel provides a 178-degree viewing angle from all four axes

Audio Features

• Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
• TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
• The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

worth the money!
everything is good with this tv. the only thing i would complain is that it does not have a remote control option to change the aspect ratio/mode. I need to go through couple steps.

There might be a way that i am not aware of tooo....

overall it is worth the money.

Samsung has a great picture!
The picture is just great! This is really the reason I wanted this set. It also has really good sound also. I find myself looking around for noises that are really from the TV. Many features like "contents" are included but I don't think they will be used much.. games, pitures, songs... Many if Samsung releases web updates for it, it may be of more use. The infolink is really a nice feature, but it doesn't diplay all of your pictures or movies. You need to show only a few at a time, delete them, then show more.
The PIP is really a rip off.. It doesn't work unless you have another device with a tuner althought I still haven't got it to work yet. (I have a Digital convertor box and a VCR and it still doesn't see them a tuners) I was suprised that the tv does not get very much information as to what channel ID's are (like WGN, WTTW, ect;) or even what is on. Very few channels have this information. My old CRT TV almost always had information for every channel and for days ahead as well.

Overall, I am happy with it and love the picture quality of the digital stations, but the analog stations look worse than my old CRT TV. You can delete all the analog stations so it skips them, and goes to the digital one instead. (delete 5, and watch 5-1 instead!)

Excellent tv, great price!
I was a little nervous about purchasing such a big-ticket item online, but the price difference was overwhelming. I took the plunge, and saved nearly $700 on this tv by purchasing it from Amazon (vs. Circuit City, Best Buy, Sears, etc.). Got the 3-year extended warranty, which was also cheaper than local retailers. Delivery was excellent -- nice guy, helped me unpack the tv, put it on the table, check for any damage, get it plugged in, check to be sure it worked. It's a great tv, we love it! Amazon was definitely the smart (economic) way to go. Best of luck to retailers who can't compete.

Dramatic picture
I do not notice the touch of color in the frame of the TV, but I can see how if you have light behind your TV, the "halo" might get annoying. It seems a simple solution to move the light source to the side of, or in front of the TV so that there is no light coming from behind it. (Although, for those with living room arrangements that cause the window to be behind the TV, you may find yourself annoyed by "halo")

The sound is good but not great, I am using my stereo system speakers to output the sound from Cable/DVD in a configuration much like having a receiver (the receiver is next on the purchase list). I noticed that HDMI from either input source results in the sound output from the TV (HDMI interface) and the stereo (RCA cables) are not synced (the TV sound occurs a fraction of a second before output to RCA, resulting in an echo), so I am forced to mute the TV. This will hopefully be resolved when I switch to a reciever (but it's not a huge loss if it doesn't, again, muted TV.) This isn't the TVs fault, but the stereos fault, since the stereo does not support a digital interface (HDMI) for sound.

The picture is beautiful. It comes default with the LCD display set to full power always, but I tuned the TV and now when I'm looking at static pictures (or TIVO control panels) the TV reduces power consumption automatically. The UI is not necessarily intuitive, but I didn't have any problems with it.

Integration via Anynet+ with other Samsung products (BluRay DVD in my case) is fantastic, allowing you to use a single remote for all of your devices. I have some non-Samsung products (like Tivo and Cable TV) so I'm still forced to get a universal remote (I did, and it works great). As great as Anynet+ is, I won't be buying a Samsung receiver because I have non-Samsung products... but if I could go all Samsung, Anynet+ is very attractive (saving over $100 on a remote is probably worth the few extra dollars per product to get that kind of integration.)
