Wide Color Enhancer/Cold Cathode Fluorescent 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 back lights 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.

Audio Features

TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 5.1 channels. High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the two hidden, downward-firing side-mounted 2.2-channel dome speakers built into the TV.

SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass.

TruSurround XT audio also adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
  • 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 sound stage 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.
Stereo broadcast reception is offered for MTS and SAP with 181-channel capacity. A sound leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
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.

Customer Reviews


Great, compact TV for a great price!
I purchased this TV second-hand, and I use it as a computer monitor. I do a significant amount of graphic design work, so color reproduction, black levels and clarity are very important to me.

Expect to spend some time playing with the settings if you want anything approximating true colors. At first I thought this was an awful TV/monitor. I spent a couple hours trying to calibrate it and, after being unable to achieve usable results, I almost sold it the next day. It took me a couple more hours of a tinkering to finally get it how it is now, but NOW it is fantastic.

It took a combination of video card settings and monitor settings. While calibrating I ensured I had a high contrast background with lots of dark colors. I played a video with lots of action and facial tones, and kept a color palette up. Then I played with the settings individually, I first got the monitor optimized: sharpness (0), contract (65), brightness(60), color(50), tint (G50/R50), color temperature (Cool2), in Dynamic mode using the "Just Scan" option and none of the stupid gimmicky software filtering they add under picture options. Then moving onto the video card settings I found that I needed to drastically alter the gamma settings to alleviate serious black-bleeding (+1.27). I also had to fool around with individual colors using the automatic monitor setup tool that comes with Nvidia video cards. Obviously, your TV and video card are going to differ from mine, but hopefully this serves as a helpful starting point.

The color reproduction and black levels are almost on par with my IPS and PVA panels that sit to the left and right respectively. Even though this is a TN, it does have very acceptable color reproduction. Now don't get me wrong, you will not want to do any sort of graphic work on this TV, but it looks great for movies, games and general computer use.

It is sufficiently bright with the backlight on level 0 both at night and during the day.

The remote is alright. It's quite ugly, but it's designed with older folks in mind. The buttons are easy to hit and the backlight behind the keys makes it easily usable in a dark room.

The stand is sturdy and looks very nice and clean. The base's rotation works well and stays where placed, it will not rotate on its own.

If you do much switching between resolutions, such as transitioning into a legacy full screen program, the monitor does take a few seconds to catch up. It is much worse than any monitor I've used before, but not a deal-breaker for me at all.

I can truly recommend this product, but be prepared to calibrate!

I was very satisfied in the service I received for buying this TV through Amazon. TV is working just great. And the delivery company (PILOT FREIGHT SERVICE) was just excellent in setting up this set and making sure it was in working order. Driver even stayed until set was programmed. A great guy, and very well informed on the workings of this TV.
This is the second set I bought through Amazon. Last July I bought a 46" Samsung HDTV and also was extremely pleased in the service in making sure set was in working order before they departed.


Great HDTV
Gorgeous picture. Fairly easy to figure out all the features. I love the fact that the TV decides the best configuration for the picture being fed.


a great addition to our house
it fits in the space we dedicated for it. The picture is clear and has many options that are are easy to manipulate. The only problem I have right now is connecting to my PC. I buoght a VGA cable, connected to my computer and the TV but still not reception.


this is an awesome product
Nice purchase. Great price for a 32 ich TV set, excellent image even using my laptop, VCR or even my DVD player. Excellent customer service. Fast shipping. Easy to install. Even better than the Samsung product.

Touch of Color

Touch of Color Samsung’s Series 6 marks the first appearance of TOC (Touch of Color) design in the 2008 LCD HDTV line-up. 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

Touch of Color 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

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

clear panel chart

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.

Customer Reviews


Excellent TV but better models out there right now.
I bought this TV in August 2008 and at the time, it was the best 52 in LCD TV for the price. Highly recommended.

However, I am surprised that the price has NOT changed much since last year. Given the price of the TV, I think other models might be better value.

Take a look at Samsung LN52A750, same TV with DLNA compatibility and about 0 less with free shipping. A saving of more than 0.

OR for the similar price, look at Samsung LN52B750 which has better dynamic contrast ratio and automotion plus at 240 Hz. So for similar price, you can get better features.

Don't get me wrong, I still love this TV. Excellent for HD TV and with PS3 for blu ray. But for today, I think better TV or better deal is out there for the price.


Samsung LN52A650 - Great TV -Great Price - problem free Delivery
I waited until I had the TV for almost a month to write a review, so I could ensure I had no problems that might occur. The TV has worked flawlessly, the picture quality is fantatstic. The remote is no where near as bad as some reviews have suggested. The price was a great price, no local electronics store or National chain even came close. Also other major web based stores' prices were not as good as Amazon. The White glove delivery was perfect. The driver brought the TV in to the house, unboxed it, set it up attached cables, turned it on and checked many channels. He also asked me to examine the TV from top to bottom for any scratches or flaws. I can't say enough good things about the servcie. I absoluetely love the TV.


Great TV
I received my TV on the estimated arrival date. There was an issue with the internal components, but Samsung fixed the TV 2 weeks later. I love this TV!


Best LCD out there!
Ok I had my Samsung LN52A650 for a year now and this LCD is the bomb baby! I had so many people say how great the picture looks, where did you purchase, why samsung? etc! I basically said Samsung blows Sony away period thats why Sony purchases Samsung screens to put in their LCD`S. I told them I purchased it from Amazon because they are fantastic to deal with and they have the best prices around and customer service in return.
This LCD makes HDTV come alive!! No Joke!


Well-pleased with this great picture!
After much research and comparisons with the Sony (and other) competition, I bought this Samsung TV in May 2009. At present, it is hooked up to DirecTV and an upconverting DVD player. The picture is absolutely superb on both inputs; the sound is more than adequate for our present needs. I'm looking at Blu-ray players now!

Very Pleased
I think this is an excellent product that is less than 1/2 the price that you would find at one of the big box stores.

Very easy to install. All you need is a level, a socket, a stud finder, and an extra set of hands when you actually need to lift the TV on the mount.

Very nicely painted and very easy to use.

The only complaint is that there appears to be a lock pin in the mount that is not easy to remove that prevents it from tilting.


TOP QUALITY WALL MOUNT
Purchased two of these wall mounts for my Samsung ln55B650, and my ln40A750 HDTV'S. I found the instructions very easy to understand. The brackets, and wall frame is very well constructed. The wall mount wood screws are of top quality. Once the wall mount is installed with these wood bolts, it's there to stay. The bracket screws that come with this kit are plenty. The screws, spacers fit my HDTV'S and there was no problem putting the brackets to my tv's. There are "TWO" options on tilting your brackets. One is the tension lever, and the other is a set screw. Find the angle that works best for you, set the screw and your done. For me, I used the set screw. Once your HDTV is hung on the mount, just use the long allen wrench that is provided and tighten the security screws to the bottom half of the wall mount. This secures your HDTV securely to your wall mount. Believe me, nothing nor anyone will remove your HDTV. I've read the reviews on this product, and the people who gave this product a bad review because of the instructions either didn't read the instructions or didn't understand what it was saying. To sum everything up on this product....high quality, very easy instructions, an a very very good price. You will be very pleased with this wall mount.


Skip this one
I as pretty disappointed with this mount, having used it to mount a samsung ln52b750. Several reviews talk about this being a high quality mount. I will echo that and say that yes this mount is made out of metal, unlike the cheaper straw, baked mud, and cardboard mounts (avoid those, especially with plasma). The problem with this mount is the instructions.

If you follow the instructions to a T, your tv will be mounted 2-3 inches above the point you expect. This is a major error in the instructions, which you'll see mentioned in a couple of other reviews here.

Furthermore, the instructions say nothing about how to actually tilt the mount, despite this being a "tilt mount". After more than 5 hours, I finally discovered that it takes more than 200 pounds of torque before the mount will actually tilt the first time (be prepared to do pullups from the bezel of your new wall mounted flat screen tv, wearing a keg of beer like a backpack. And I only got wind of this after desperately searching these reviews as a last measure. (Note the couple of reviews which indicate they never did figure out how to tilt the tilt-mount). But once you break the "tilt seal", it no longer requires so much weight. Now that the tv is mounted and tilted, the mount functions as desired, but I do wish that I had used a different mount, even the cheetah ones have got to have better instructions (?).

Last complaint--it comes with a very long Allen wrench to tighten various screws, including the security screws. But if you happen to be mounting above a mantle, forget using it, because it's length will prevent you from doing so. Meanwhile, your existing Allen wrench collection won't help you because this is a "special" version that is hollowed out in the center, and the screws won't work with a regular Allen wrench. Without a means of tightening these screws, we've had to forego using the security screws, since there is no way to tighten them, thanks to the proprietary screws. But to be fair, proprietary screws aren't necessarily a bad thing when you consider security-- it would be pretty hard for someone to steal the tv unless they had a special peerless Allen wrench.

If peerless had included a corrections, or a "known bugs" sheet with this mount, it would be good. But given that they have failed to do so, I would avoid this mount, just like the straw, cardboard, glass and Bakelite mounts, as it will waste your time and at worst, destroy your tv from ambiguous instructions. Buy a different mount unless you don't mind the potential of wasting a lot of time from bad instructions


Very well built
This is a very high quality mount. I saw many other that were very cheaply built. The only negative is that this is a little hard to adjust, but once it was adjusted, it will never move again. Would definitely buy again.


Does the job....
This was very easy to install. I specifically wanted this design so that I could bring power and cabling in between the supports. It comes with a variety of screws to mount almost any LCD/Plasma/LED imaginable. The Allen Wrench that comes with the unit is a little ackward to use when locking the unit in place but not a big deal.

BD P1500 no regular dvd at 4 mo, no audio at 6 months!
I too have been very disappointed with this blue-ray Samsung BD-P1500 player. At 4 months, it would no longer play regular non-HD dvd's. So much for up-converting. Had to re-attach the old non-HD player. At 6 months it would no longer play any audio. And of course the warranty ran out at 3 months. No software download or tweaking would fix these problems. I see others have had same problems. Samsung should recall this unit and give us refunds. Piece of junk. Yes, I'm mad.


This Blue-Ray Player Is GREAT!!
I received my Samsung BD-P1500 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player in an extremely timely fashion from Amazon. The box was completely unharmed and the product was in perfect condition. It took only a matter of minutes to hook it up to our 42" LG flat panel HDTV television. Since it's been hooked up, we have gone out and bought several Blu-Ray movies and all look AMAZING being played on our new player!! The picture is so clear and the sound quality will blow you away! There are no faults at all from what I can see. I am very happy that we made this purchase! It was completely worth the money, which by the way, was a SUPER deal. I would recommend this player to anyone in the market searching for a reasonably priced high quality Blu-Ray player.


Shoddy Blue Ray Player
This is the first blue ray player I have owned and I must say it is a terrible disappointment. My chief complaints are.

#1 Lag between audio receiver and television line - I have to turn off the volume on my Television otherwise and I get an "echo".

#2 Menu function is often disabled. I cannot leave a movie or feature by hitting escape or menu key. I have to fast forward through the movie to the end of the feature and then let it end and return to menu so I can change the options.

#3 There is no memory function at all. If the disk stops playing or the player is turned off or you pause the movie for any length of time it resets. So if you get a phone call during a movie - and you pause for awhile you have to restart and fast forward back to where you left off. It's very annoying.

I would never buy a Samsung product again. This was one of the cheapest players available and now I know why.


Great Value
Sets up and runs like a typical DVD player but the output is breathtaking. Seems very reliable and boot time is just slightly slower than a typical DVD player. At the price it's the best blu-ray deal on the net!


Samsung BD P1500
No problems so far, Blu-ray Disc player compliments our HD Samsung Television in every way possible. Blu-ray picture is beyond HD and superior to anything I've ever seen. Superb price with free shipping can't beat this bargain at any retailer.

Works like a 0 one you would get from a box store
Used this wall mount with a Samsung LN46a550 model. I did notice when I received the box it looked like it was open before, didnt pay to much attention, till I got to the part where it called for a long screw driver/tool it came with to lock in the panel into place. No big deal since I had my own.
I selected this mount becuase I knew I was going to have multi connections and didnt feel like making it harder to mount my TV with a flush wall mount. I was able to connect a coxal, 2 component, and 1 HDMI cable with no problems.
My sister needs to mount her Sammy next, I would deff go with Peerless again!


Very easy to install
I highly recommend this product. It was very easy to install, and bolted to my 42" Panasonic Viera plasma with the included hardware. There is a bunch of different hardware and washer/spacers for a lot of different TV's. They have a web site that you can check. Spend the money on a good stud finder so you can hit the middle of the stud with the mounting bolts. The tilt is a nice feature for the bedroom.


ez breezy for novice installers!!
This wall mount is excellent! It exceeded my expectations without adding a great deal of weight in the process.

I am a novice installer and this went up without a hitch. (I mounted 2 LCD's -32"LCD and 36" LCD in under 2 hours all by my lonesome.)

Received ample hardware to mount a variety of lcd/plasma tvs; instructions were clear and concise (The only MINOR issue I had was that the instruction manual mentions an allen wrench being included hardware but was not. After reading some other user reviews, I erroneously thought I needed it for tilt adjustment. However, after contacting peerless, they informed me that this particular model doesn't come with one and it isn't required for install or tilt adjustment (so don't panic! :-P)

No complaints whatsoever-5 stars!!


flat screen tv
this product is fantastic! very easy to install. simple with clean lines and easy to follow instructions.


Quality, strong, and quick install
First I would like to comment on amazon.com. I ordered this item with free "super saver" shipping and the box was on my doorstep within 18 hours. Great service.

Let me also say that I ordered this item from amazon in April of 2009 and received EXACTLY what was pictured. After reading others commenting on receiving something other than what was pictured I was a little nervous while placing the order. The wall mount itself is excellent quality, extremely strong and durable. I agree with others that say to be sure to have a good stud finder and make the measurements before placing the order for this product. I mounted my Samsung 40" LN40B750 TV in my closet with this mount after removing the closet doors. I tilted the screen down 5 degrees and can easily watch a perfect picture from my bed.

A note on the tilting. I read another review that said this mount could only be tilted down 5 degrees and tilted up 15 degrees. This is not correct. If this mount is installed correctly one should be able to tilt the TV down up to 15 degrees.

The "one touch tilting" is definitely misleading. Tilting requires loosening two machine screws with a screw driver and hand loosening the "one touch tilt" screws.

Another note: When I received this item I tested the screw sizes in my television and purchased the same screws in stainless steel as another review suggested.

Overall, This mount is well worth the money. It took under a half hour to install. If any product fails it will be the television, not the mount. once this thing is on the wall, it wont rip off. Follow the instructions carefully and everything will be fine.

And a 15,000:1 contrast ratio delivers stunning contrast in dark or bright scenes. Full HD (1080p) contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. That means more pixels, more details and a better picture. A resolution that is approximately twice as much as conventional HD TVs creates the most perfect picture imaginable.

Enjoy a more realistic, sharper picture quality that's sure to catch your eye with 15,000:1 contrast ratio. One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 5ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes. The newest feature is the Wiselink USB Connection that easily hooks up your MP3 player or digital camera to your TV with the USB 2.0 connection.

Wide Color Enhancer/Cold Cathode Fluorescent 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 back lights 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.

Audio Features

TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 5.1 channels. High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the two hidden, downward-firing side-mounted 2.2-channel dome speakers built into the TV.

SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass.

TruSurround XT audio also adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
  • 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 sound stage 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.
Stereo broadcast reception is offered for MTS and SAP with 181-channel capacity. A sound leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
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.

Good for an LCD, but still prefer PLASMA
Bought this top rated LCD for the bedroom - very nice. LCD is the way to go if you want light weight, cool running television for a bright, sunlit room. OTHERWISE, I would still stick with the plasma technology.

We have an older Pioneer plasma (720p resolution) in the living room - this Samsung LCD can't touch the Pioneer plasma when it comes to picture quality. The plasma provides much more realistic "film" type picture. The real difference is in flesh tones and blacks (such as a man's black suit on a show like David Letterman, etc).

I know the LCD's look so much better when you see them in a huge, brightly lit store like Best Buy, but in real life there is no question that plasma provides the better, truer picture.

The VERY NEW and EXPENSIVE technology of LED seems to have the benefits of the LCD with the picture quality of a plasma....but it's pretty pricey right now. But just wait a few years, and the prices will come down.

Also, don't get hung up on the 1080p resolution - the human eye can only detect so much. A 720p resolution will look just as good as a 1080p (unless you stick your nose a few inches from the screen...which nobody does.) Sitting back in your easy chair, they're just the same.

We really do like this TV, especially the clean look when it is turned off. However for our next TV purchase (far in the future....) we will look to the new LED technology, or stick with Plasma.


Refurbished Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review
Electrozone Service:
Pros: Television was packaged with tons of foam. No dead pixels. Excellent customer service and communication. CHEAP PRICE!

Cons:The shipping was delayed but Electrozone was able to compensate for it. Scuffs and scratches along the border of the t.v. Biggest issue was the "FIXED" writing that was etched permanently along the border of the television due to being a refurbished product( Luckily, Can only be seen at a glared angle and not a big enough issue to return but still COME ON GUYS please don't scratch up the refurbished televisions with "Fixed" writing, common sense).

Television itself:
Pros: Amazing 1080p picture. Best remote control, ever. Tons of extra settings and features.

Cons:Can get a bit too bright from time to time but nothing major. As expected, the sound it bad but replacement speakers or a sound system fix the problem.


Fantastic for the $$
I received this item as an early Christmas gift in Nov '08, and am extremely happy with it. The picture quality is excellent, buch better than my previous HD TV from TSHBA that was not 1080p. The viewing angle is excellent, the blacks are very black, and the brights are very bright. There is no banding, blooming, distortion, or pixallated edges. Samsung makes a high quality product that is frequently better than many of the higher priced products from their competitors.

I've seen a few reviewers complaining about a few things, here is my input on their issues as someone who is not only an A/V enthusiast for over 20 years, but also an IT technician:

Check for firmware updates, my S@NY BDP-350 Blu-Ray player (purchased in Dec) has had 3 Firmware updates for it so far. One of them solved an HDMI issue.

As with anything else in this world, it is possible to get a bad unit & this is true of ALL manufacturers (even S@NY). Electronics today are all produced by the lowest bidder. You can buy a TV today, and 3 months later I can buy the exact same model, and if we compare the internal parts, there will be differences... whatever chips were cheapest when they placed the parts order are what go into your set, and it is assembled in a factory by human beings being paid peanuts.

Picture quality: The source makes a huge difference. I switched from Cablevision to FiOs & the difference in picture quality is stunning (on both the standard & HD channels). I have not run satellite, so cannot comment on the quality of that source.

Audio quality: For the life of me, I can't determine why someone would be using the internal speakers on this TV. Why you would have an almost 40" TV and not run it through an audio system is beyond me...

Picture blacking out: This has A LOT to do with the HDMI outputs on the cheaply made set-top boxes that are used to receive Satellite/Cable/FiOs. They ALL have HDMI issues, and the issues will cause problems whether the box is turned on or off. Complain to you service provider, not Samsung. If you want to test this, unplug the HDMI running from your box to the TV & run component video at 720p instead (there will not be a discernable difference in picture quality on a TV of this size when running broadcast content). Then power off both the box & TV, and UNPLUG THEM FROM THE WALL as well, as todays equipment will never truly 'power off' (or else your remote couldn't turn it on). Wait 2-3 minutes, then plug the power back in. If your issues go away, then you can be 100% sure it is the set-top box & not your TV causing your woes.

AnyNet+ issues: These are software issues, and HDMI issues. Most likely, the culprit is one of your other devices and not the TV. Check for firmware.


My own review
The Samsung 37" LCD is great. Colors are excellent and sharp. The only complaint I have is the skimpy sound system. Everything sounded "echo-y" and tinny: I had to add a sound system. Now it's great and I wouldn't trade the Samsung TV with any other one.

Touch of Color

Touch of Color Samsung’s Series 6 marks the first appearance of TOC (Touch of Color) design in the 2008 LCD HDTV line-up. 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

Touch of Color 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

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

clear panel chart

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

25,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio 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 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.

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.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)

DLNA logo

dlna daisy chain
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.

Cheap DigiCam Appearance
I've now viewed two Samsung LCD tvs including this model. They both have the same disconcerting problem that others may call a feature. Yes, the picture is sharp. However, objects in the foreground are excessively sharp and well defined relative to the background. It makes me feel like I'm watching the program through a cheap digicam. I don't know what you'd call this effect but I can't call it a good viewing experience. Now, that picture 'feature' may be good for football games but not for network tv shows where it's the most pronounced. It's evident to a lesser extent on movies. I would not buy this tv.


A great deal
This tv is a great deal because you can, play blu-ray, 4 hdmi imputs, and 120 hearts a mintue. Me and my family got this tv after doing some reasearch. We think it's a great deal, so we recomend you buy it. (Deatails listed at the bottom:
1: It is a LCD tv.
2: It ia a 1080p.
3: It runs at 120 herts a minute.
4: It's a Samsung (with a touch of red color.)
5: It;s 46 inches.
6: comes with assemblind materials, ac cord, and cleaning cloth.


Great picture before display/picture stopped working.
The SAMSUNG LN46A6501F worked great until it stopped working.

I purchased this exact LCD TV from Amazon and 4 months in, but (as of yesterday) there is never any picture (and the firmware was up to date) and now the TV turns itself on and off intermittently.

If there's never any picture then I cannot see any menus to try and troubleshoot. From other user boards, this appears to be a common issue for Samsung LCD's. Looks like I have to have the entire main board replaced. Am in process with Samsung on that. I am writing now as this appears to be a common issue within the first 4-6 months of the SAMSUNG LN 6 Series.

The other reason for the 3 stars is that Samsung's user documentation would be improved by adding a one-sheet with the standard set up info. If Apple can do this, why can't other vendors?


Beautiful
Beautiful display for the price. We only have a handful of HD channels, but they look great. For the price this was an excellent choice for us. I don't use a lot of the "extra" features, like ethernet connection, or ability to plug in a usb drive, but nice knowing they're there.

I do wish the Standard def channels looked a little nicer. But when you're magnifying the signal into a bigger screen (we replaced a 32" set) You're bound to be unhappy with the picture.

Watch the prices. This was cheaper than NewEgg here at Amazon by 0... Was the other way around the week leading up to the purchase. Glad I came back to check.

Solid choice!!


LCDs have come a long way
This television is spectacular! I watch a lot of sports and I couldn't ask for a better picture. The sound is great too. I'm very glad I went with this LCD rather than a plasma. I can't see any difference in the picture quality and I don't have to worry about burn-in.

Only con I see is the controls on the front panel of the TV. You totally cannot see them at all, even if you look closely. You need a flashlight to see them. Otherwise, great TV.
