Touch of Color
Inspired by designs from the automotive and fashion industries, Samsung's unique unique Transparent and Opaque Color molding process creates a clean, smooth finish infused with a hint of a translucent color during the manufacturing process for an ultra-sleek appearance.
InfoLink
Up-to-the-minute access to weather, news, sports and stock information is just a cable and a click away through the HDTV's Ethernet port and new InfoLink RSS service. An all-new user interface with digital contents management guide provides intuitive navigation and access to both internal and external content.
Auto Motion Plus 120Hz
This technology doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 frames per second (120Hz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. Instead, the TV intelligently calculates the `middle' image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 120Hz processor), making a fluid transition from one frame to the next.
Super Clear Panel
Samsung enhances the clarity of select LCD HDTVs by replacing the light-diffusing plastic face of traditional LCD HDTVs with a natural black panel with a clear anti-glare shield. Reduced reflection of external light creates a new dimension in image clarity, highlighting black and darkened areas, enabling vibrant, more compelling colors and a brighter, clearer picture. Black will never again appear grayish. Black details will show in vivid black even in dark scenes.
The latest version of Samsung's breakthrough super clear panel technology makes colors appear more vibrant and blacks even deeper than ever. Enhanced films reduce glare and optimize off-angle viewing.
50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio will give you a picture better than you ever thought possible, with whiter whites, blacker blacks and a nearly infinite subtlety of gradations in between. As two of the most important determining factors in overall picture quality, contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this latest generation LCD panel. Samsung's new LCD TV's give the most stunning realistic picture quality ever.
Full HD 1080P
Full HD, or 1080p, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean more pixels, more details and a better picture. The new Samsung LCD TV with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional HDTVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable.
Samsung's 1080p panel uses a new high-speed liquid crystal to cut response time to 4ms. The fast response time, coupled with Samsung's Auto Motion Plus 120Hz motion blur reduction technology dramatically reduces motion blur and judder.
Digital Natural Image Engine
DNIe™ The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine. This exclusive Samsung technology dramatically improves the picture by enhancing the contrast, detail, white balance and reduces.
Wide Color Enhancer/Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamp
The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp backlights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors.
Samsung's exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors - the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky.
Connectivity
To make the Series 6 a true entertainment hub for any home, Samsung has incorporated advanced HD connectivity and networking capabilities that expand the HDTV's functionality. A wide variety of multimedia devices can be connected to the set through any one of the four Simplay compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs (including one on the side), and the handy HDMICEC feature lets you control all your CEC-enabled peripherals using just one remote.
Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish components into the 2 rear connections and use the side-mounted input for cameras, camcorders, and laptops. HDMI is the best performing interface for displaying an HD source on an HDTV.
Once connected, users can easily access device menus and manage and display content through the newly redesigned Wheel Key Remote control and the HDTV's sophisticated content management interface.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)
You already know something about digital living. There's the TV and digital video recorder in your family room. (And another set in your bedroom.) You have a PC and digital printer in your office, along with a network attached storage device. And you've copied all your music onto your portable music player and haven't had to open a CD case for years. But getting them to talk to each other can be pretty tough. Why is it still so difficult to send digital content from one device to another?
Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a collaboration of the world's leading consumer electronics, PC and mobile companies that has created design guidelines for a new generation of products that can work together — no matter the brand.
Think for a moment about all of the photos "locked away" on your home PC that you wish you could access while entertaining your friends and family. Now, thanks to DLNA enabled devices, a DLNA-enabled PC can be accessed from the comfort of your living room or family room via a DLNA-enabled HDTV, where you can enjoy your memories with friends and family, without having to deal with the hassle and non-intuitive "PCexperience".
Or, say you recently downloaded your daughter's birthday party video from your digital camcorder to your PC. Now you want to share it with your parents who are visiting. Without DLNA, you probably have to burn a DVD of the video or hook up the camcorder to the TV. With DLNA, you can just use your TV's remote to call up the video on your TV. That's it.
Super Patterned Vertical Alignment
Samsung's Super Patterned Vertical Alignment (SPVA) panel provides a 178-degree viewing angle from all four axes
Audio Features
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.
Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
We expected quality from this TV, but it is absolutely fantastic!October 4, 2008 We can not get anything done since it arrived last week - our eyes are glued to it!
My anticipated concerns were 1. the touch of color - not a problem and not even noticed 2. Stationary base - no problem. easy to adjust and move if one needs to. 3. Ceva shipping - could not have been better. With free shipping I got the TV in 4 days and they were most accomodating in meeting my time requests. The set up includes taking it out of the box, placing it where you want it in your home, checking for physical damage and making sure sound is heard and it turns on. The rest of the set up is up to you. They were great.
It was recommended to buy Monster HDMI 1000HD ultra-high speed HDMI cable and Monster HTS 1000 MKII or III powercenter with clean power stage 2 to receive the ultimate HD quality of the TV. So we did and they work perfectly with this tv.
And for those who are remote challenged.......a logitech harmony one universal remote is a no brainer to use.
We love this TV and would recommend it to those looking for a quality LCD TV. Who needs to go to the theater when you have this in your home!
The HD Picture Is So Lifelike It Makes You Part Of The TVOctober 4, 2008 The HD channels and 1080p playback of DVD's is just so amazing with the 120Hz picture. Delivery was on time and we unpacked the TV, fired it up and the delivery guy waited to make sure it worked properly. I had a RCA rear projection for 3 years but it broke down 2 times in the last 6 mos. and the cost to repair was half the price of the Samsung. I reviewed alot of LCD tv's for about 7mos. and one visit to a local store with this TV on display was all it took. It's hard to get my outside work done esp. when sports are on because the awesome picture draws you to it so you don't want to leave. I enjoy all of the features and most of all the picture-in-picture. I looked at the Sony's but Samsung was the better value for the money.
Great product !!!October 3, 2008 Awesome TV. Picture quality is fantastic. Now if I could only figure out the right encoding to stream movies to the TV, documentation is not specific enough... The built-in speakers are just OK. We are thinking of getting one of those Surround all-in -one bars... Also my wife thought that the Red Touch of color border would light up. Not the case.
Major design flawOctober 2, 2008 I purchased the 750 series after doing a lot of research and reading a lot of reviews. There was some comment on the "halo effect" but I figured how bad could it be. Before I ordered it I went to the box store to check it out but there is so much fluorescent light and action in those stores that you cannot tell. I just had the delivery company to my house yesterday to pick up and return the TV. Believe me I would not have gone through the hassle of returning this if I truly didnt think it ruined the set. This is not a minor reflection or glow only in a dark room, it is like watching another picture outside of the picture. There is action on all sides of the bezel even in daylight. It is especially noticeable watching sports or other programs where the full screen is taken up by the picture. I called Samsung and they put me in touch with a repair person who basically said there is nothing he can do until Samsung comes up with a fix. He indicated he is swamped with inquires on how to fix this. I read some stuff about putting black tape on the back side of the TV. This will not work as the reflection appears on the front side of the bezel. It is truly a serious design flaw and an absolute shame, because the picture quality of the set was fantastic. The sound was great. The features were great. The TV has great "guts" just a terrible design. Once the 750 gets logged in as returned, I will be ordering the 650 model. Unfortunately from the looks of it the 800 series has the same design as the 700. Hope this helps.
Bought it - loved it - returned it when the price droppedOctober 1, 2008 0 out of 6 found this review helpful
Great TV - no complaints about quality. Price dropped by ~$200 within 30 days of purchase and even with a return shipping fee (~$55) it saves me money to return it and reorder it at the less expensive price. I never saw a notice about the end of the 30 day price protection policy effective as of 01 Sept when I put in my order on 07 Sept. Bad policy Amazon!
