User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars TV is Beautiful and all features are also – BUT
This TV is everything that you read it would be – But the wireless internet connection has not worked for me yet.

I have had techs here and they don’t know why. If anyone out there has this TV working on wireless network let me know. I will write more once this is fixed.

4 Stars What “Depth” Really Means
When reviewers say this TV has more depth than others, what they actually mean is that it looks so crystal-clear and three-dimensional that you KNOW when a program is filmed on a studio set. This really takes some getting used to, since all other TV screens we’ve ever watched have conditioned us to see two dimensions only. My husband absolutely loves it for viewing football games, but I prefer the non-LED Samsung version of HDTV for movies and regular programs. (I’d rate this TV a 4.5 but didn’t have this option.)

I also haven’t linked it to my computer yet but look forward to doing so.

5 Stars 100% Satisfied!
I have very high expectations of my electronics. The Samsung LED has not disappointed once. From the picture to it’s styling it was worth every penny. The HD picture is more vibrant than other HD TV’s, not to mention USB and HDMI ports to easily use your computer and storage devices to watch movies, pictures etc.

I highly recommend this product.

4 Stars So Far Not So Good…
First let me say that I have bought hundreds of items from Amazon and have not been disappointed yet.

My first minor issue happened with the delivery. I had taken off the day the set was to be delivered. Later that day I called the delivery center and was told the set would not be delivered until the next day. Since I did not want to take the next day off I ask if I could pick the set up. The office was about 25 miles from me, they said yes. Well after driving to the office it turned out they did not have my set but another company did. So after a 2 hour ride in rush hour traffic, no set. It was finally delivered after work later the next day, so no biggy.

Second not so minor issue is the set does some strange things. First it cuts itself off and back on intermittenly.

Next I have the cable box hooked to HDMI 1 with an HDMI cable, and while watching the TV it will cut to the TV cable source and start searching through the channels really fast like someone has the remote button stuck down. Also at one point the TV was going into DEMO mode. I read in the manual how to reset to “Home” use and that seemed to work for awhile.

I have called Samsung service and they have scheduled a service person to come out, the 3rd party company called and said the parts will take 3 – 5 days to come in. I said no one has seen my set yet and she said that the desciption I gave apparently is so common that they know what parts to bring.

At this point I just want the TV to work as designed. I have a 55″ Samsung LCD that I have had for 18 months with no issues.

For what it’s worth when the TV is on, and not doing the strange things, it is great.

One other thing I forgot to mention is I have this TV in the same room as my computer and I have a 26″ Samsung monitor and every time I use the remote the monitor and the TV change. From what I can find out Samsung DOES NOT have any way to have the remotes communicate on different channels. Kind of pain. You would think they might consider this could be a problem.

TBC.. I will update the review after the service person comes and replaces whatever parts they have.

Followup: Repair person came bearing a new “main (the brains)” but did not fix the issue, he has now ordered a new “p-touch” he calls it.. controls the buttons on the front of the TV.. side note TV is now not watchable at all since it cuts out every few seconds. TBC2..

10/06/09 – Repair people called and can’t get out until 10/13/09 to try to replace the “p-touch” part. So this will be over a month since I bought the set and I still can’t watch it – not happy!

5 Stars Not Really LED-Backlit
I got this at ABT Electronics on a deal for 1408. It’s an amazing tv, I’m fully satisfied. But its not LED-Backlit (It’s a edge-lit led tv, the real local dimming ones are the 8000 series). This does cause a loss in image quality, and I knew this. But the features more than make up for it. I was considering this and the LG 47″ model with local dimming, but many of the local dimming tv’s have their own problems, and they didn’t have the style and features of the Samsung, plus the size was too big for my living room. So I ended up getting the Samsung and I’ve been extremely satisfied. The picture is amazing, most shows look TOO realistic, I’m actually bothered by it. It makes it look as though you’re actually on the set. The speakers aren’t too bad either. They’re not HD, but the sound is actually quite crisp and clean if you’re not too picky about all the audiophile stuff. The SRS-TruHD works alright, speakers sound just fine as long as you’re not picky. If you are, and you have the cash, just buy the Soundbar accessory (way overpriced….) or a real surround sound system.

4 Stars Great TV if one can figure out how to use it.
My family and I just love this TV, particularly for watching sports. We looked at a lot of LCD and Plasmas but saw none that gave us the sense of depth this one does. It is like 3D. Moreover, our family room is also a sun room during the day but the picture is just as strong in the day time as it is when the room is dark. The viewing angle is comparatively wide. We see no appreciable drop off when it is viewed at an angle. It is large enough that my wife can view it from the adjacent kitchen with ease.

Learning how to use its features and to set it up is another matter and that is the one gripe I have with the TV. Samsung only provides a four page manual which tells the owner nothing. Instead it includes a flash drive which contains a manual for its use but it took me over three weeks to realize what the flash drive was for. The manual does not show the available ports or how things are to be connected to the TV. I finally figured it out by trial and error and got the flash drive connected. Finding out how to use it however, was again a lot of trial and error. Once I was able to read the pages, it was hard to read, mostly grey on black (I hate black-you can’t see where anything is on black). Figuring how to page the manual on the TV isn’t easy. Samsung provides numerous steps to take but the user has to leave the Manual screen to go through the steps and unless the user writes out all the steps, it is a tiresome process to follow the steps.

So I tried using the flash drive on my computer. Well the manual is in a strange format so it will not open normally. Windows searched for a driver that would allow viewing the manual and found one which I downloaded and installed The one I found that worked was from IrFanView but one must also download all the plugins before it will work. However, when I opened the Manual, it was unprintable except with a screen capture utility.

That was more trouble than it was worth and it then dawned on me to go to the Samsung Support Center and see if there was a Manual that could be downloaded. Voila, the Manual was available in both PDF and Word formats but because the Manual is in three languages, it is 273 pages long. Just print the first 75 pages.

What I found is that with no difficulty I could run picture shows directly from either my camera or from a card reader. They come out beautifully. If I tried to print pictures that big, they would be grainy as all get out. But the pictures show in full size on the big screen in terrific detail and color and they have depth.

But I wish the USB ports were either on the side or the front where they are easily accessible. I intend to wall mount the screen but if I do I won’t be able to get to the connections which are on the back. And even then it is difficult to insert USB cords because the recess is so narrow.

We love this TV however, because of the lack of a printed manual and the location of the USB ports, I can only give it 4 stars.

4 Stars Enjoying the Samsung UN55B6000 HDTV
Image Quality and Connectivity:

This Samsung UN55B6000 is excellent technology and priced to move. We’ve got it hooked up to a cable box (MOT DCT 6200) via the 1 component connection and the image is sharp and crispy and the colors are vivid and bright.

We have an older PC connected via the VGA connection and the 3.5mm mini audio connection. Internet browser windows come up real sharp in 1920×1280i resolution. Sidebar: I’m also using wi fi and wireless mouse and keyboard.

Hi-res images look fantastic. This TV was assembled with web-browsing and computing in mind (Net widget, USB, JPEG and mp3 friendly) and Samsung has nailed it.

Online Support and Configuring the Cable Box:

Initially, the cable box was sending 720×480i to the TV. Fortunately I was able to find forums online with posts from a Samsung HD Tech and a cable co. employee that outlined the solution — turn off the cable box, hit the menu button (cable remote) and here you can select the higher (or different) resolution.

Additionally, the cable box required two power cycles for this (resolution) change to take effect but when it did I was viewing cable tv in 1920×1080i.

Using Samsung’s P.Size (Picture) Button:

When watching cable programming broadcast in HD, the 16:9 (aspect ratio) mode looks the best to me. For standard definition programming the Wide-Fit mode stretches the image a bit to fill the screen.

I’ve noticed some adjusting is required when flipping between channels, for example, sometimes CNN ticker text is below the screen and other times the Fox Sports Net FSN graphic is a bit above the screen. Perhaps this issue is addressed in the screen-fit mode, I’m not sure yet, I’ll have to mash a few more buttons. Overall, I give it 4.5 stars.

3 Stars Good but not great
I got this Samsung UN55B6000 to replace a dead Sony KDL52W3000 that was just shy of 20 months old.

For the price, it came down to this or the 52XBR9. I took the Samsung cause the picture looked sharper at the store and while still smarting from a Sony reliability issue.

Once set up at home, I started to reconsider my choice. While the dark levels are definitly darker, the glossy screen is a nuissance during low lit scenes.

The bezel design is such that the speakers have nowhere to go but behind the TV which relies purely on the condition and distance of the wall behind it. Compared to the Sony, the sound coming out of this TV sucked.

Samsung defaults their screen with 95% contrast level. So there’s not much room for increased contrasts if you ever need to. I believe this is how Samsung obtains their contrast advantage, raise it to max then cover it with a glossy screen.

The slim design also limits source input options. It comes with 4 HDMIs and only either a component or composite source. With the Sony I can connect all my sources redundantly so no need to boot up the power hungry receiver 100% of the time.

So if you hook up all your components into the TV via HDMI, the sound going into your A/V receiver depends on how well the TV can pass it through.

1 Star buyer beware
After only 3 weeks of owning this TV, the TV randomly shut off on its own while we were watching TV. Now the TV constantly just turns on and turns off (with no actual image being displayed on the screen). The only way to shut it off is to disconnect it from the main power source. Called Samsung and apparently it’s an issue with the power supply, and they have to send a technician to repair. Turns out, this is a common issue with Samsung. I am not amused that after spending 2500$ on a brand new TV, it will need repair after only owning it for 3 weeks.

JVC has announced their newest offering to the world of LED TV’s; the GD-32×1. JVC’s 32-inch LCD monitor is just 8.9mm thick at it thinnest point, while expanding to 22.5mm thick at is lower half to fit in all the electronic components. While it might not be 8.9mm thick all the way, it certainly is very thin indeed. Unfortunately there is confusion on this matter, because there have been reports of this TV being 6.4mm thick.

The JVC GD-32X1 features a 1920 x 1080p / Full HD resolution, along with a 4,000:1 contrast ratio, and the JVC Genessa Premium image processing technology.

• The contrast ratio is FAR lower than offerings from Samsung and LG, which have contrast ratios that are up to 500 TIMES GREATER! 4,000:1 contrast ratio isn’t even in the same league as LG’s offering of up to 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio.
• This product only has 120Hz processing, about half of the processing power from its competitors.
• This product is “edge-lit” as opposed to being “back-lit”, which means that the image will have the “halo effect” as well as shadow exaggeration towards the center of the screen.

Honestly, I was disappointed in this offering from JVC, it seems like a hasty leap into a market that is emerging. It’s like JVC sees the ship leaving port and they’re so desperate to be on board that they’re willing to slap together any old thing and put it on the market.

Fortunately, most of the world will be spared being exposed to this abomination to LED TV technology, as the JVC GD-32X1 will only be available in Japan starting in August.

The latest generation of LCD television technology is a whopping 40% more energy efficient than last years models. Samsung, Sony and Toshiba have all introduced TV models utilizing LED backlighting, replacing the more power hungry CCFL backlight used in previous years. To verify power consumption, Techtree.com performed measurements on a 46″ LED TV using a power meter with different levels of Energy saving. The measured power usage was between 72W and 116W depending on energy savings level. In contrast, LG’s 42″ plasma TV consumed between 150W and 255W depending on the Eco mode.

Samsung, calling it’s technology “LED TV”, has been heavily criticized by competitors. The TV is LED-backlit, not a true LED TV like the more advanced technology called Organic LED (OLED) TV. An OLED panel is constructed using different materials and there is no need for backlighting; thus very low power. The pixels are made of organic compounds that react to electric current causing individual pixels to light up. Sony unveiled the first consumer OLED screen last fall but the display measures only 11 inches and it sells for $2,499. Sony may produce a living room-sized model later this year, but don’t expect it to be affordable. A large screen OLED TV is several years away from consumer mass production.

Apart from the previously mentioned OLED technology, Sony has an LCD TV offering called the Bravia. The Bravia uses Edge LED backlighting, meaning that the LED’s are mounted on the side rather than using a backlight array. Doing so allows the Bravia to achieve a very slim profile.

Toshiba’s offering in the LED-backlight arena is the REGZA SV670. This TV model incorporates the company’s FocaLight Full Matrix LED with local dimming instead of edge LED lighting. This allows individual groups of LEDs to be independently controlled, achieving deep blacks without sacrificing peak brightness. This TV will apparently deliver a dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1.

In terms of the ecological footprint there is still some debate as to whether LED backlight technology is better. LED-backlit LCD TVs have a longer life and better efficiency than other high definition displays. LEDs also don’t utilize mercury, resulting in fewer problems with TV disposal. But they do use two undesirable substances, gallium and arsenic in the manufacture of the LED emitters.

Although there have been a few problems with LCD and DLP technology in the past (lower contrast ratios, the ‘rainbow effect’, ‘motion blur’), Samsung has addressed these, and now they’re producing HDTVs that are second to none. Not only are the Samsung LED HDTV models on the cutting edge of technology, the prices are almost too good to be true. For just a fraction of what many people paid for a high-end plasma set just a few short years ago, you can now own a Samsung LED HDTV that has (at least) an equivalent image reproduction, but is also a product that is cheaper to operate, lasts longer, and has many more features – such as incorporated Internet access, to name but one.

Obviously, one of the most popular and reputable shopping sites on the Internet is Amazon. If you take a few minutes to look what most people are buying, and the customer reviews of those products, you’ll see that the Samsung LED HDTV models are selling better than most all other similar products combined !! When you start to look at the ratings of these Samsung LED HDTV models, you’ll also see that customer satisfaction is extremely high. If I seem biased towards the Samsung televisions, it’s because I am. They rightfully deserve all of the accolades, and positive consumer reviews that they’re receiving.

Whether you find A Samsung LED DLP HDTV, or a Samsung LED LCD HDTV is better suited to your needs, I know you’ll be confident that you made a smart purchase when you decide to buy a Samsung.

Lastly, not to insult your intelligence, but be sure to evaluate all of the features of the televisions that you’re interested in. Some people think mainly about the size of the screen and little else. As mentioned previously, some Samsung LED HDTV models have advanced Internet features, some are extra slim, and still others, while having Samsung’s stunning audio and video capabilities, aren’t as feature-rich as some of their slightly more costly stable mates.

Regardless of which Samsung you purchase, you’ll have a television that is second to none in terms of quality and performance, and one that will last many years.

Consumer feedback is probably the best way to get an honest impression of the television(s) that you’re interested in. Any Samsung LED HDTV [out] model that you choose will be a quality product, but spending just a few minutes on Amazon, will give you a wealth of information and consumer opinions on any Samsung LED HDTV [out] available.

Generally speaking, if you’re looking for a larger screen (>50-55 inches), you may want to look at the Samsung LED DLP models. For a smaller screen size, you may find that one of the Samsung LED LCD HDTV models may be better suited to your needs.

If you’re considering a television purchase in the near future, you should take a serious look at a Samsung LED DLP HDTV.

Although plasma technology has been very popular for a number of years, that’s about to change. Vizio, which was the second largest supplier of plasma screens in the US, announced in the second quarter of 2009 that they would discontinue manufacturing plasma sets altogether. Obviously, the home television market will be DLP and LCD.

Samsung LED DLP HDTV models have overcome the few small problems associated with previous versions of all DLP (digital light processing) televisions.

One complaint of some DLP (rear projector) sets in the past, was the anomaly known as the ‘rainbow effect.’ This was brief flashes of perceived red, blue, and green “shadows” observed most often when the projected content featured high contrast areas of moving bright/white objects on a mostly dark/black background. The scrolling end credits of many movies are a common example, and also in animations where moving objects are surrounded by a thick black outline. Without trying to understand the technical aspects of the cause, the main thing to understand is, it was associated with the spinning ‘color wheel’ that was a component of previous versions of Texas Instrument’s incredible DLP technology. In the recent Samsung LED DLP HDTV models there is no color wheel, hence no ‘rainbow effect.’

Also, one other drawback to previous DLP sets was the fact that they used high powered lamps as the light source. Not only did these lamps draw a significant current, making them costly to operate, but the the lamps also needed to be replaced every few years. The costs for replacement was usually in the several hundred dollar range.

The new Samsung LED DLP HDTV models do not have the issue of lamp replacement. Since they use an LED (light emitting diode) light source, there will never be any lamps to replace. The LED engine will last the life of the television (and them some). Also, since LEDs are solid-state devices, they draw very little current when compared to the previous lamps, they are therefore much cheaper (up to 40%!!) to operate.

Combine those features with the fact that the Samsung LED DLP HDTV offerings also have a much broader color gamut, and are up to 40% brighter, and you have technology that is near perfection. That’s why the DLP system is now being used in professional movie theaters.

This writer still owns an Hitachi DLP HDTV which has been extremely reliable and still has an awesome picture, but when compared to any Samsung LED DLP HDTV model, the differences become obvious. Although I will keep the Hitachi for a bedroom, I decided on a new Samsung LED DLP HDTV a couple of months ago. I can guarantee that you won’t regret your decision to buy a Samsung LED DLP HDTV.

For just a small fraction of what an average plasma cost a few years ago, you can now have a theater-quality HDTV in your living room. If you’re going with a larger screen, maybe over about 55″, I would definitely recommend a Samsung LED DLP HDTV, although their current LCD line is impressive also.

Thinking of purchasing a new television? New requirements raise the bar on how energy efficient a TV must be to earn the Energy Star label. They require TVs to use less energy when turned on, ensure a satisfactory level of brightness and curb power associated with downloading program guide data. This all means big savings for consumers and the environment. If all televisions sold in the United States met the new Energy Star requirements, Americans would save $2.5 billion annually in energy costs while reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the emissions of about 3 million cars.

The new requirements have revised the qualifications for televisions requiring TVs to be 40 percent more energy efficient than conventional models. These requirements will help consumers save even more energy and money and fight climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Televisions meeting EPA’s new Energy Star specifications are scheduled to be be available in stores nationwide starting May 1, 2010.

When you couple the new requirements for TV’s, and the new government appliance rebate program coined “Cash for Appliances” set to take effect in October of 2009, this makes it a great opportunity to purchase a new TV for the increased energy savings, and earn cash rebates of up to $200.00 for qualified home appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators, and stoves.

With more than 19 million TVs with screens larger than 40 inches expected to ship to American homes in 2010, the new Energy Star requirements will offer important energy savings in larger size TVs. For example, the new requirements for 46 and 50 inch TV models will deliver almost 50 percent energy savings over conventional models of the same size. In addition, the government appliance rebate program will offer cash rebates of up to $200 dollars for qualified home appliances purchased with an Energy Star approval.

Every year new Televisions hit the shops after the SALES end and before summer. This coincides perfectly with electrical faults which reach their highest percentage of failure rates per-day during springtime. The average expected lifespan of a new TV is 6 years 7 months, which is equivalent to 60,000 hours of use. A warranty which will see you through 3 year long lifespan is usually another cost on top of that TV price. John Lewis and Digital Direct include a 3-4 year warranty respectively in with their online TV prices. If you don’t have your TV on continually it will last longer, thus 3 years is a safe bet, and the odds are in their favour with a 3 year warranty.

Is renewing a TV warranty really worth the money? A personal testimonial means far more to hear than from some article your read on the web. Imagine your good friend from the pub says how brilliant their LG TV is and how many years its lasted, you would have proof LG make good quality sets lasting a long time. So why the warranty? Well one reason is good TV sets have a lower failure rate, so for peace of mind you can pay £100 to guarantee your set lasts at least 3 years. Manufactures design their sets to last the same time by using cheaper components of lower quality for chips and circuit boards to achieve the cost cutting. The technical name is MTBF (mean time before failure) often expressed in minutes or days. TV repairs can be very costly if you haven’t had the pleasure. Dead pixels and replacing the LCD is just too expensive, a sudden loss of sound is often worth the repairer’s parts and labour.

Do manufactures need to make long lasting TV sets? Today it seems we live in a disposable society. Technology is being pushed at us from everywhere; whether we need it or not, we are somehow all under peer pressure to keep up with the Jones’s and buy the 1080p HDTV for the sake of having the same standard as next door. Jokes aside, it is vital brand “A” keep up with brand “B” in the battle of best TV brand stakes. Samsung have just produced an LED TV which is ultra slim in TV world. At an amazing 1-inch thick, being over 2-inches slimmer than my own Samsung LCD set! It’s a one of the kind. Suddenly LCD and Plasma seem to be so last decade. To this affect Panasonic must have a new technology label for their Viera. I believe they’re using the name of Motion Pro Picture, a picture enhancement technology. There we have it. When Sony produce supermarket grade Bravia sets, the 3-year warranty is a must. What else could explain the vast difference in price between two Sony Bravia’s – the cheap components of course. Not that there is anything wrong with Sony; demand for cheap TVs forces big name brands to drop prices to sell their stuff. The best way is to use older models using older technology – that way everyone is happy.

Before you buy your new TV we suggest you see the TV set working. Then possibly read reviews, then visit websites with the all important numbers and in stock availability to compare prices only.

Alan Dige – I’m interested in HD TV technology and know a thing or two about de-duping TV models, and publishing deals from across the UK. Samsung TV discounts are popular right now as well as LG LCD TV end of year deals.

If you’re in the market for a new television, you’ve probably noticed there’s much more to making a selection than just knowing what size you want. Very soon however an LED TV will be the industry standard.

Years ago it was as much about buying a television as a piece of furniture as it was looking at the technical specifications. Now you have to decide between plasma, LCD, projection, DLP, and on and on.

If you haven’t seen or heard of the newer LED TV technology, you soon will. The LED (light emitting diode) has been around for several decades now, and it’s not the impressive feature in the LED TV technology. What is new is the way in which this simple semiconductor is being used.

Using the LED as the primary light source in the LED TV, it’s now possible to create HDTVs that have an even brighter, more color vibrant video image, with blacks that are truly black, and not just a very dark gray, as some devices produce. Samsung is leading the way in the area of new LED TV offerings, and with contrast ratios of 500,000:1, the specifications will give you an idea of what these new LED TVs are capable of. Not only are the images being produced by these new LED TVs much better than even the latest models of plasma and other LCD HDTVs, they’re also being sold at fantastic prices. Whereas plasma devices, when first released, where several times what you can buy one now for, the LED TV can be sold much more reasonably because the LED technology isn’t new, but just existing technology that has advanced, and is being used in a slightly different manner.

I believe many people automatically think of plasma when they think of the best HDTV display, but that will soon change. The early days of LCD displays were those of slow image reproduction, blacks that weren’t black, and other problems. Soon, even LCD displays will be more sought after than the plasma screens. Plasma also has a relatively short life span when compared to other display types.

When you look at the new LED devices from Samsung, there’s really no hard choice in deciding on which set to purchase. That is of course, assuming you’re looking for the best image. The Samsung LED TVs, and also those being released by other manufacturers, including Sony, Toshiba, and several others, will soon dominate the market.

Even the best LED TV being sold presently is very affordable for those looking to buy a higher end device. Even if you’re on a fairly tight budget, the smaller sets are priced surprisingly low. I don’t know if you could call it a drawback, but the only possible pricing problem is, don’t expect to see the drastic price reductions in the LED TV technology as we did in plasma HDTVs. If you remember, the newest plasma HDTVs were in the five figures initially, but again, that was new technology.

So, if you’re in the market for a new HDTV, that a serious look at one of the LED TVs from Samsung. There’s already many different options and price ranges to choose from. With all the incredible features, such as Internet TV and many others, it’s a matter of deciding how many bells and whistles you need. Whichever LED TV you decide on will no doubt have a stunning picture. One look, and you will be sold.

Again, if you’re looking to buy an HDTV now, don’t put it off hoping to see the drastic
price reductions in the LED TV market as we did in plasma sets, it’s just not going to happen.

I’ve made up my mind already, and will soon have Amazon shipping my new Samsung LED TV.
I can’t wait!!

Originally, LCDs come in smaller sizes but the growing demand and the competition made LCD manufacturers improve and advance their technology. And so, LCD nowadays come in as big as 50 inches. But whether you have the biggest or the smallest LCDs, certain flaws still need you utmost attention. And if you will take the time to choose the best LCD, then certainly you will not experience any such flaws.

At the present moment, the top brands like Sony, Samsung, LCF, Panasonic, Sharp, and Philips have led the LCD TV market. Some computer manufacturers such as Gateway and Dell have also tried to enter the LCD TV market. But this is not basically about the brand; remember that a big brand name would not always ensure a great product. Although it is advantageous to purchase from the trusted brands and the pioneers in the market, one should still be careful about finally deciding which LCD TV to choose. The economic crises the world is experiencing may contribute to the quality of the products these brands produce. In short, better check the units from these brands while they are on the showroom.

One important aspect that you should consider is the aspect ration some big screened TVs boast of their 16 to 9 aspect ratio. But be careful to believe everything that you hear and read. There are some screens that stretch and enlarge the image to fit into the screen. In this kind of treatment, the images appear blurry and jagged. Keep in mind that the best LCD TVs are those that have bright, vivid, and clear images even in its biggest screen. Basically, all you need is your pair of eyes to identify which can and cannot fool your vision.

Consider also the viewing angle. In the previous years, LCDs failed to deliver remarkable viewing angles. Because the pixels twist and bend, the visuals tend to be almost indiscernible in obtuse angles. But latest technology has improved this area. Modern LCD TVs have as obtuse as 160 degrees viewing angles.

Consider also the three kinds of LCD TVs. We have the SD or Standard Definition, the ED or Enhanced Definition and the HD or High Definition. The last kind is the most popular and the most loved. However, they can be a little expensive as well. Most HDTVs are best used as replacement for computer monitors or as monitors for video or computer game playing.

LCD, which stands for Liquid Crystal Display, is the latest advancement in home viewing technology. Manufacturers of this type of television include Sony, Panasonic, and Samsung. Still, Samsung appears to be the leading consumer electronics brand in the world. They have been in the TV technology industry for years now having started in 1972 and entered the world of flat screen televisions in 1999.

The brand has also produced numerous models to cater to the diverse needs of the consumers. At the present moment, they have reached up to Series 9 of Liquid Crystal Display TV models. The Series 4 televisions are the entry level models for last year. The Samsung Ln40A450 appears to be the largest among the models included in the 4th series. The designs are all made with piano black bezel exterior with resolution feature of 720p/1080i and triple HDMI inputs.

If you’re considering the purchase of a new television, a Samsung DLP TV could very well be exactly what you’re looking for.

It was just a short time ago that many people wouldn’t consider a projection television, just because it was, well, projection. Those days are long gone and Samsung is creating some excellent DLP sets.

The Samsung DLP TV models being released are using the latest version of Texas Instrument’s amazing DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology. This writer still owns an Hitachi rear projection set that utilized the first version of this incredible technology. Although a detailed explanation isn’t the purpose of this article, the original DLP setup used a rotating color wheel, and this color wheel was the source of the much dreaded rainbow effect. The anomaly seemed to be more of a problem for the hardcore video enthusiasts however, some people barely noticed it. Personally, it was never a major problem on my older Hitachi, for me anyway.

Regardless, Samsung has eliminated even the chance of having the rainbow effect being a problem. The new Samsung DLP TV models have no color wheel. What else is great, unlike the past versions of DLP, there are also no more high-powered arc lamps to replace. Since the light source is now solid-state LEDs, you won’t have to worry about spending the, potentially, several hundred dollars for the lamp replacement every few years. Also, since you’re not powering the previous lamps, causing much wasted energy in the form of heat from the lamps, you can actually save money with the new Samsung LED TV models.

I really believe the elimination of the (rotating) color wheel, and the inclusion of the LEDs as the light source, would have been more than enough for this writer to upgrade, but there is more to the new Samsungs.

One other thing that stands out is the contrast ratios now being realized. In the past, most DLP sets had fairly poor contrast ratios, often measured in the hundreds:1. Now, the Samsung DLP TV models are measured in the hundreds of thousands, and even millionths to 1 contrast ratios.

Combined with much brighter images, a broader color gamut and excellent Internet integration, Samsung is creating some truly fabulous HDTVs.

If you’re exposure to rear projection television was some time ago, don’t discount a projection television until you’re experienced the technological masterpieces that Samsung is releasing.

These aren’t you parents rear projection television.

The new Samsung DLP TV models offer so much more than the antiquated versions of the DLP technology. Not only has the technology advanced on the Samsung LED DLP HDTV televisions advanced, it has also become much more affordable.

Compare the new Samsungs to any other television that you’re presently considering. You’ll be glad you did.
