Samsung UN46B6000 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV

I recently purchased a Sony 52″ 52Z5100 LCD television. Ultimately, I ended up exchanging it for the Samsung on this page. Why? Well, read on.

First, I had a 42″ LCD projection 720p. Nice picture but time to upgrade. I always disliked glossy screened models but drooled over the thinness of the Samsung LED’s. At Best Buy, I looked at all the TV’s. I didn’t care about 240hz b/c it’s not a noticable difference over 120hz, so I was considering many displays. I kept coming back to the Sony 52Z5100 (99) and the Samsung UN46B6000 (39.) I know Sony makes good displays and I was worried about the glossiness so I purchased it and had it delivered. When I got it hooked up I was impressed but I never could quite get the picture they had in the store that was almost 3D. I know part of that is b/c they have all the settings pushed real high in-store, but even when I did that I couldn’t get it. Now, don’t get me wrong, it looked really good and I was really thinking of keeping it. But every time I looked at it from the side it just seemed a little bulky. The other issue I was having was the brightness. Even with the backlight turned to 1 and brightness turned down low, the display was too bright. It was fine when watching a show but if a commercial came on with a white background it sometimes hurt my eyes. It was that bright. Some would view that as a good thing but I constantly found myself adjusting the backlight and brightness. I can’t say I wasn’t satisfied with the display but after 3 weeks I found myself still considering the Samsung and I saw that as a sign that I should exchange it.

Having had the Samsung for 2 weeks now I am happy that I made the exchange. The glossiness, while not ideal on a bright day, isn’t that bad. In fact, I would say that if this TV didn’t have the glossy screen it would be almost perfect. The extreme brightness on the Sony tended to wash colors out a little…something I didn’t really notice until viewing the Samsung. Colors were much more saturated. Some people have mentioned uneven lighting with the Samsung. I have looked hard for it and as picky as I am I can’t see it at all. The sound is also very acceptable…much better than I expected, and that’s nice since I don’t always want to play it through my stereo. The Samsung also gives you more control over its settings than the Sony did. Perhaps that’s why I could never get the Sony to exactly where I wanted it. The only negative I would give this TV is the motion control settings. Honestly, my favorite is usually off. I don’t see much blur at all with it off. Putting it on Smooth, Clear, Standard, or even Custom with the blur on 10 and judder on 0 can look somewhat artificial at times. For instance, I replayed a scene on my DVR using all the settings. During this scene the camera pans across a bunch of people sitting on a bus. While smooth looked kind of neat, it created a little “jump” or judder at one portion of the pan. In fact, all the settings except off did this. (I also tried custom with judder at various settings.) Now, many people wouldn’t even notice this and by no means does it ruin the experience, I’m just left with the feeling that this whole 120hz and 240hz is much ado about nothing. Like I said, turning it off is fine…even when watching football.

To sum up, by no means do I mean to imply the Sony is a bad TV – far from it. If you have recently bought one you have a very good TV with a beautiful picture. Just for me, preference wise, I prefer the Samsung. I love the thinness and deeper color saturation. Now, perhaps if I sat further from the TV (I’m at 11ft) or had this in a room with windows facing the TV (mine are to the side of it) I may feel differently. It all comes down to personal preference when you’re talking about TV’s of this caliber, so hopefully I’ve just provided a little more for you to help you decide which is for you. Happy viewing!

Buying this TV was a purchase I had researched for months. I’m very glad I did because watching it is like having the people (event, etc.)right there in the room with you. The picture is that good. The only weak point is sound. Plan on purchasing a good sound bar with this TV. Otherwise, I love it!

Amazing television – Kimon Andreou – Florida
I had been researching HDTVs for over a year and between reading up on specs and visiting brick & mortar stores to visually compare the various options, I ended up going with Samsung. Just as I was going to get a Samsung LCD, the LEDs came out.

After a few more months of research and comparisons, I once again came back to Samsung and settled on the LED.

I compared this (side by side) with a lot of different makes & models like Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, LG, etc. and the Samsung LED was lightyears ahead. All the others had from OK to outstanding picture but, they all felt like a TV. The Samsung LED felt like you’re looking out a window into the action; as if the actors were just on the other side of the glass!

So, the other day I picked up the 46″ TV and the Samsung WMN1000B Fixed Low-Profile Wall Mount for Select Samsung 40-Inch to 55-Inch Displays (outstanding mount BTW) and was up and running within an hour.

It’s a fantastic television and I couldn’t be happier!

The only drawback is the audio quality but, that’s why you get a home theater system.
