Comparison of Features for various Samsung LCD HDTV models
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.
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.
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.
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 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, 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.
DNIe? The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine. This exclusive Samsung technology dramatically improves the picture by enhancing the contrast, detail, white balance and reduces.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Stereo broadcast reception is offered for MTS and SAP with 181-channel capacity. A sound leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.
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

Great TV, great valueNovember 17, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been looking at buying a Sony 46XBR4 for about a year, before I chanced on this unit at a local Best Buy. The colors were very sharp, there was hardly a glare, the TOC was unique and the price was fantastic. I've had this unit for close to a month now and switched from Comcast to Direct TV HD. The picture and sound are just beyond my expectations. I've hooked up my xbox360, ps2 and wii quickly. This TV has also improved xbox360 gameplay images and sounds. The images from the xbox360 dvd player are very, very sharp. I watch a lot of tennis and other sports in HD and the quality is lifelike. Also, I actually like the remote but use Direct TV's remote already. I have no firmware issues. I ordered this unit on a Monday afternoon and got delivery by Thursday noon. I just have one advice -- buy it !
BUY THIS TV!!!!!!!!!!November 17, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this tv last week and it is simply amazing. The tv has the glossy screen and despite what others say THE GLOSSY SCREEN RULES!!!. The screen looks like a plasma. I have always loved the sharpness of lcd , but loved the glossy look of plasma. This tv combines the best of both. The 120hz set on high makes sports looks amazing. and it set on low to medium makes tv looks so real the people pop out of the screen. I haggled this tv down to 1599 at circuit city and it is a huge picture and the best purchase you can make for yourself. The TV does not run hot and is perfect. the red looks sweet and is barely noticeable, so do not let that distract you. This tv looks better than any of my friends plasma's Seriously!!!. GO BUY IT NOW. as far as the Glare issue. i have mine in my front living room with big windows and there is no issue other than what we lived with for 50 years of television. remember when we just had a minor glare, and it really is very, very minor. i watched this tv in the day all day long in my new house with NO SHADES up yet and there was NO issue at all. Trust me i am a very,very,very picky consumer and i am over impressed by this tv
Excellent Samsung :650A RocksNovember 17, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm pretty anal about doing my research. So I did plenty. This LCD had great reviews so we looked at it live and in person at Best Buy and Circuit City. It looked great but they couldn't come close to Amazon's price. There is no longer an issue with the power cutting out. This was taken care of during the first half 2008 with a software upgrade and all TV's since are fine. No issues. Picture quality is awesome and a great bang for the buck. I have a Sharp Aquos that is a few years old and is not even close. The picture in HD on the Sharp is decent but not even close to the Samsung 650. Buy this model without hesitation. The 850 is about [...] more using LED technology but is not worth the [...] difference in price unless [...] is like [...] to you, then go for it..... Buy the 650A and enjoy.
Outstanding TV and ServiceNovember 16, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I recently purchased this from Amazon and am astounded by how amazing this tv is and the service Amazon provided. I've ordered many things from Amazon in the past without issue, but was still a little wary of ordering such a big ticket item online. I can say that I'm glad I did. Not only did I get by far the lowest price available anywhere, they provided free white glove delivery.
The quality of this tv is well beyond my expectations. Crystal clear hi def makes you feel like you're really there. The sound quality is wonderful as well. There have been some comments about the sound quality, but I find the sound is so good that I don't even use my external speakers when watching it.
As I said, the price is amazing. For $1500 with no tax and free white glove delivery, it cannot be beat. They unboxed the tv, set it up in my living room and even took my old tv away so I didn't have to bother getting rid of it myself (it was a 32" Sony Trinitron). That's what I call amazing service.
I checked prices of every major retailer over several weeks and did a comparison of all the tvs I was considering at my local retailers several times as well, and nothing came close to the quality of the Samsung 650 tv.
If you're considering this tv, I would look no further. Very very happy with my purchase from Amazon.
outstanding TVNovember 16, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I researched my decision for over 6 months and bought this set when it dropped below $1500 on Amazon. It is FANTASTIC. HDTV looks great but Blu Ray movies are so realistic it feels like you are right there. The set was easy to set up and use and quickly integrated with my surround system. Once connected via HDMI cables it even knew to turn my Blu Ray player on and off automatically. I highly recommend this set to anyone who wants a top notch picture.
