 Amazing picture, great television February 28, 2010
D. Sarro
This television is amazing. I don't care that the sound isn't that great because I have a surround sound system...most people should when investing in a nice television. The picture is difficult to beat. The complaints of the poor picture from side views are completely false. THere are always going to be a few bad apples in a review of a product because people will always find something to complain about, either that or they got a damaged TV. Picture looks as good from the far angles as it does in the center. There are many nice features such as the mp3 input and ethernet capabilities. This TV is a nice purchase!
Love it February 18, 2010

I just go my new Samsung UN40B6000 & absolutely love it. Easy to set up & has a beautiful picture. I love the energy saving aspect as I am an environment friendly gal. The sound is great too. My hearing isn't what is used to be & have been pricing out Bose 3-2-1 system because I don't want to run a bunch of wires around, but was amazed at the sound from the tv at a low volume. The Samsung warranty for additional 104.99 is a bargain too. I didn't buy mine throught Amazon (wish I did), but found it somewhere else for $200 cheaper. Didn't have free shipping though so actually saved $120. The other website (will not name) tried to push me on a 3 yr plan for $299. If you are someone who likes to insure your high end products (like me but I didn't pay $299) buy through Amazon & get the warranty.
Great set, great price! February 15, 2010

This is my first HD TV, so my impressions might be skewed, but I just love this TV. I did a lot of research on different TVs, and have always loved Samsung. I was looking at LCD sets until I saw this in person at Best Buy, and when the price here at Amazon dropped to just a couple hundred above my preset limit of $1,000 (at the time of purchase!) I decided it was worth the extra cash. Easy to set up, and picture quality is outstanding.
Great Picture February 14, 2010

Dilivery was on time and the driver helped take the TV upstairs. Comcast came and hooked up a HD DVR and the picture was great. He used a very large component cable. He said it would be as good as HDMI.
We noticed a buzz from behind the set that was intense at times depending on how dark the picture was. I ordered an HDMI cable from Amazon and hooked the set up with that. The buzz went away and I believe the picture looked a bit better. The sound seemed to improve also.
The set produces a great picture. We are very happy with our purchase.
It's a great TV. February 12, 2010

I own 3 Samsung TV's and this is the only LED / LCD of the bunch. So, the question is, "Is it better than the other CCFL TV's?. Well, the answer is, "Yes, in almost every aspect." I also want to state that I like all of the TV's I have and they are all different. Keep in mind that there is no perfect TV, not even the top of the line plasma's.
These are the things that I like...
1. The black on this set is what I would consider "inky black". I have seen better, but not by much. With the lights in the room off, I can see that the black bars on wide screen pictures are not totally black, but almost. I'm not much of a fan of watching a TV in total darkness. In fact, I have a light mounted behind my wall mounted 52 inch that I use on a regular basis. Having some light in the room has two advantages. First, it makes the blacks seem a little darker and second, it reduces eye strain.
2. The contrast is better then my other two TV's by a wide margin. It makes the TV very 3D looking. There is a little crushing of black levels in some scenes, but that can be adjusted at the expense of the deepest blacks and contrast.
3. The color is phenomenal compared to the 52 inch which is about 3 years old. It is very vibrant and at the same time, more natural. Samsung claims that the color spectrum has been increased to about 97% of the available spectrum and I believe them. I can see many more color variations than I can on my big set.
4. The sound is very good for a TV. I didn't expect it to be that good. It is better than both of my other two TV's. I have a external surround system on my 52 inch because I can't stand the sound of it. This TV is much better.
5. Power usage is very low on this set. I have a Watts up? meter connected to the TV and the power varies between 60 watts to 97 watts. On average, it runs between 90 to 97 watts. Of course, you can increase the back light which will increase the power usage to about 135 watts, but that is not necessary, even in a very brightly lit room.
6. The bottom line is that this TV has the best picture I have seen in my home. Sometimes I say to myself, "WOW!". It's that good.
These are the things I don't like...
1. Like other posters have mentioned, some shows seem like you are watching a stage play or a soap instead of a finished movie. If you've ever watched a movie in the making, you will understand what I am saying. It's not always that way though. Blue Ray seems much better in this regard. It also seems to be somewhat related to the amount of 3D image presented. I think what we're seeing is a closer representation to to the recording process and we're not used to it. Oh well, it's not a deal breaker and it only happens on some shows.
2. As for off angle viewing, there is a difference. There seems to be a slight lose of contrast when viewing off angle. I has the effect of lessing the effect of black crushing so in a way, It could e considered a benefit. It is a very minor issue.
The bottom line is that the picture is exceptional.
Also...
From what I've seen in the stores, most plasma's looked washed out in comparison to LCD's, except for perhaps the top of the line Pioneer plasma's. Plasma's also have very serious problems with burn in, even though they deny it. You have to be very careful with plasma, even to the extent of not watching too many shows in a row that have black bars.Keep in mind that even LCD's can have stuck pixels if you leave a static picture on it too long. At least, that's what the instructions say. My LCD computer monitors don't seem to have any problem with it, so I'm not sure this is really a problem. In the end, LED/LCD is a great compromise between the best plasma's and LCD. I think one of the best things is that I can watch this TV for about 4 hours using the same amount of power that my 55 inch with surround system uses in about 1 hour. At my present usage, this TV costs me about $1.40 per month to run and that is running 7 to 8 hours a day.
One more thing...
I adjusted the set using CNET settings and I had to change some of the settings because they do their adjustments in a totally dark room. Still, the picture is very good. I also noticed that there was some judder until I set the auto-motion to smooth. All of the judder went away, very smooth motion now. I have one little complaint about the settings that you find online and that is that they always set it for a totally dark room. I don't know many people who watch TV that way. In a lit room, it usually causes the picture to looked washed out. A few adjustments takes care of it.
