Samsung UN32F6300 32-Inch 1080p 120Hz Deal

Kevin Rogers (Massachusetts): I just upgraded to a larger living room, and my old Samsung 46" CCFL-backlit LCD did not cut it. I couldn't even read the text on the screen when browsing the web. So I drew up some diagrams, did some trigonometry, and decided that I needed at least a 60 or 65" TV. Being out of the TV market for several years, I didn't keep up with all the new features and marketing lingo, so I visited a few big box stores to get information on what all of this new "Smart" features, CMR, micro-dimming, etc. Turns out CMR is just a combined rating of processor speed, micro-dimming, dynamic contrast, and other various stuff. Apparently micro-dimming on Samsungs is all software. Why? Because these babies are all edge-lit. They don't have "real" local dimming, only "fake" local dimming.

 U Lala (Orange County, CA - USA):The 6300 doesn't come with the smart remote, which is a bummer because I rather liked that feature. But I wasn't going to pay 400 extra to get the next model up just to have the remote. In fact, I like the 6300 model more than the 6400, 7100, 7500, or 8000 because of the matte screen. I have a window right behind me, and from various angles other windows coming from the sides, so not having nasty reflections on black screens (or anything that happens to be black on the screen) is a big deal to me. I just don't like seeing my own face in the middle of a movie.

Patsfan: This is my first review on Amazon and I normally dont do this, but I feel compelled to write one because most of the reviews on this fabulous TV are missing a key Demographic...GAMERS!!! Skip down to the 2nd paragraph for gaming if you dont want to real this background paragraph. To start off, I purchased the Samsung UN46F6300 46 inch LED TV solely for the purpose of Video gaming, but also for streaming Netflix and Cable TV. With the new XBOX One coming out I knew I had to upgrade from my Dynex 40 Inch LCD TV I purchased before I went away to school in 2009. I did a lot of research and was split on buying an LED TV that was either 120 HZ refresh rate or 240 HZ. After learning that the human eye can barely tell the difference between 120 HZ and 240 HZ I decided to go with 120 HZ because its cheaper and the technology is better developed than 240 HZ.

Andrew Beasley (Vienna, VA USA) : I love this TV!!! The picture is very clear and nice. Also, the whole complaint about the default setting making everything look to soap opera like is true but it only looks that way because it makes every person or channel look as if the action is happening right in front of you in real life. Even old movies look good on this TV. So, yes you can change the defaults to look more tv like but then what's the point of buying an HDTV when you want the picture to look like an old style tv. The whole point of HD is to have everything look as real as possible and this TV delivers that greatly. If you have no interest in 3D tv then this is the tv for you even if you want a 3D tv all you would have to buy is a 3DFury adapter and it can make this or any other TV a 3D TV in seconds for an extra couple of hundred bucks. So, if you do that, you'd have a $6k Samsung TV for this TV's price. Basically, the best TV choice you could make is this TV.

Suzanne Hurrle: Like all recent Samsung LCD TVs, this is capable of producing a really fantastically lovely image once its settings are adjusted, but the settings it comes with from the factory are just terrible. The first thing to do is to turn off, or use the Custom setting to turn way down, the motion-smoothing effects, which otherwise ruin the depth and look of every camera pan or track. Next, adjust the backlight all the way up, and change color, contrast, and brightness to taste. I found I needed to reduce the contrast and brightness significantly below the maximum, while using the black-level controls as well, to get a less artificially "poppy" image than the unit's default settings.

Anonymous (USA): We ordered this TV after asking a lot questions at local stores and reading many, many reviews. We really wanted JUST a TV, no Smart Technology. When we received the TV, it has been shipped in just the regular box. The back of the box had been damaged and the bottom portion of the TV had a big dent. I filled out the exchange information online and within a few hours we received an email from Amazon that they had shipped another TV overnight and sent a call tag for the pick up of the damaged one.

Georgia (Denver, CO USA): However, you should still buy this TV. It costs about $100 more than the 6300 (or 6350) but is well worth it? Why? Because for that money you get "micro-dimming". This feature is worth it! The blacks are really black and the picture works well even in a brightly lit room (and my room has lots of windows). Also, the micro-dimming removes glare. Here is how that works. When the TV is off, there is a lot of glare on my screen. Turn on the TV and the glare disappears. Amazing.

Mobed: Finally decided to upgrade from a 4 year old Samsung LCD 6 Series and thought this would be the perfect replacement. Picture quality is crisp and I've yet to throw something at it that it couldn't handle with a 120hz refresh rate although 240hz seems to be the new hype I have trouble really seeing a difference which makes it hard to justify the premium price for it, although this TV is a little on the pricey side it's great for what you pay. Can't judge 3D capability entirely but gave it a whirl using a PlayStation 3 and I must see for at home 3D it's pretty impressive. The TV has an abundance of apps ranging from Facebook to Amazon on demand with more being added as they go. For its size the TV feels incredibly light and is sleek and very thin. The functionality of the remote is a great idea, touch pad, voice recognition, I figured the voice recognition would have been shoddy but it seems to usually get things correct.

Tee4me (Snipeville, OK): I bought this TV for the plethora of glowing reviews it received for its picture performance. I also bought it because it had built-in Wi-Fi. The picture quality is simply amazing! Scenes broadcast in HD look as if they're almost 3D, and by that I mean everything is so clear with unbelievable depth that it makes it look like people and things being broadcast are in the room with you! I previously owned a Panasonic Viera plasma TV, and I can honestly say this Samung LED TV has an even better picture. I didn't think any other current TV technology (except 4K) could touch a plasma. I was wrong. I can't say enough about the picture quality.

Samsung UN50EH5300 50-Inch 1080p 60Hz Deal

G. Peck (Illinois): Samsung's 2012 line of LCD televisions focuses primarily on switching their backlighting from CCFL to direct-array LED. Unlike CCFL lighting, LEDs don't diminish in brightness over time and have an incredibly long lifespan. Additionally, these sets are significantly lighter than their old CCFL counterparts which makes moving them around easier. However, this model is not edge-lit which means it's not really thinner despite the weight savings. The lights are directly behind the screen (i.e. direct-array), which many video purists prefer since it makes the lighting more even. This model does not support local dimming.

R. W. Cope II (Philadelphia, PA): I bought this model not only for the great picture, but for its ability to connect to services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. They work well, though they are bit slow to launch. Finding content using the remote that comes with this TV is a bit tedious. I recommend using a computer to find what you want to watch on those services, and adding it to your queue. Then you can launch the app on the TV, bring up your queue, and start watching more easily.

jon J. Fields : I purchased two of these Samsung 32EH5300s over the holidays, and I am greatly impressed with them. The "full-array" LED lighting makes the TV a bit deeper than the typical edge lit LED TV, but in return you get much more even lighting and an overall better viewing experience. I was also surprised to see how good the Samsung does with standard def (SD) signals - of course not as good as HD quality but much better than the horrible quality I've seen on some LCD / LED TVs in the past.

Samsung UN55F6400 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz Deal

LCS007 (Bixby, OK, US): So here's the bottom line. Once I discovered the nuances of my Samsung, dialed in the settings I wanted (don't ask, total trial and error) I could not be happier. The picture clarity is outstanding but does adjust according to the source. For instance my setting for watching a Bluray. The TV remebers that setting and then switches when I go back to TV. Pretty cool! I've found my best picture seems to come from Hulu but it could just be me. Oh, I watched football this weekend, over the air HD quality and I cannot believe the picture.

Bread N' Butter "Pete" (TX): I got this TV a week ago and immediately loved that I could turn it on and immediately use Netflix without having turn on other devices and use a different remote. My girlfriend and I started watching Breaking Bad, but a few episodes in, I noticed the audio was a split second delayed from the video. My girlfriend noticed this too. We switched shows to "Orange is the new black" and the sync issue was even worse. I fired up my PS3 and streamed netflix from that and there were no sync issues. I played netflix shows on my ipad, and again, no sync issues. So I fired up the TV once more and put on a movie called "The Awakening" and the severe audio sync issues came back. This is very frustrating.

Jennifer Heaney : The 3D works fantastic, it is truly amazing to see, better than in the theater. The glasses are light and comfortable and pair up extremely easily with the TV. The TV itself has a beautiful style and looks very expensive,
but I just cannot get over the quality of the 1080 p picture, it may help that we used very high end cables and we also have Direct TV where everything is broadcast in HD, but whether you are watching TV, streaming a movie, watching a DVD, the picture quality is just outstanding, crisp, clear perfect edges, no blurry ness, just like your there.

Georgia (Denver, CO USA): However, you should still buy this TV. It costs about $100 more than the 6300 (or 6350) but is well worth it? Why? Because for that money you get "micro-dimming". This feature is worth it! The blacks are really black and the picture works well even in a brightly lit room (and my room has lots of windows). Also, the micro-dimming removes glare. Here is how that works. When the TV is off, there is a lot of glare on my screen. Turn on the TV and the glare disappears. Amazing.

John A. Johnson (State College, PA USA): The icon for the panel screen you are currently viewing is encircled with a hexagon. So, when you first turn on the TV, the blue TV icon has a hexagon around it, indicating that the OnTV screen panel is active. You can navigate around the SMART HUB with either the left-right arrows on the Samsung keyboard (or remote--but I always use the keyboard) and hitting the Enter key to select the icon for the screen panel you want, or by using the mouse pad on the keyboard to move the pointer to the icon and tapping the pad to select. Or, if you are scrolling across the main screen with the left or right arrows and continue past the edge of the screen, this will take you to the next panel.

Gerriet Bolt "Pop Lifer" (IOWA CITY, IA United States): My last 2 TVs have been plasmas, and while I adored the picture quality and natural, cinematic motion, I grew annoyed with having to obsess over the possibility of burn-in or image retention. I know, I know... today's plasmas are practically worry-free in the area of burn-in. Except that my 2011 Samsung got it from some weather delay announcements during the break-in period (when I wasn't around to monitor). It's still on there to this day, though luckily you have to look pretty hard to notice. Plus there was the infamous "buzz" noise that many plasma owners have had to suffer through, seemingly at random (some people hear it, others don't, it depends on elevation or your viewing angle, etc., etc.). Plus the super glossy screen basically turned into a flashlight during the day, reflecting any and all light sources coming from the window.

Samsung UN46F5500 46-Inch 1080p 60Hz Deal

Gotham Observer "porkboy" (NYC, NY):  I have a set of computer speakers that I plugged into the mini jack audio out of the TV. You cannot control the external speakers with the TV remote by this method. Since my computer speakers do not have a remote it means I have to get up and walk across the room to turn the volume down or just use the TV speakers which are pretty worthless due to the nature of every flat screen TV - they must have the speakers in the back by design. I contacted Samsung support and they confirmed that the mini jack audio out is a fixed volume and cannot be altered with the remote.

Charles S. Yordy III "Charlie" (Arlington, VA): Just got this last night at a big box store. So far I have no complaints. The picture looks even better in my home than it did at the store, where the contrast and vibrancy of colors "popped" far more than comparable models around it. This TV replaces a Samsung LN32A450 32-Inch, bought end of 2008, and is our main living room TV.

Thomas P. Krafft "thomaskrafft" (Eaton, Colorado): I mainly used it for netflix/hulu/amazon/youtube streaming and it works great. It reads my portable hard drive quite well too. The picture quality is great and the apps work awesome so far. I tried the web browser with the remote and it was painful, I would definitely invest in a keyboard (perhaps the logitech k400r - usb) if I was going to browse the web with it.

Samsung UN29F4000 29-Inch 720p 60Hz Deal

MechanicalMan (Springfield, MO): The set is very light and easy to set up; 3 screws in the bottom to attach the fixed base, and you're good to go...simply plug the cable into the rear of the set and plug the set into an outlet. Once you turn the TV on, programming instructions will appear; use the fast start guide as a reference. The set will auto-tune your cable provider's channels (I have Verizon FIOS), and you can either manually set the color, contrast, ratio, etc. or utilize the factory preset.

E. Anne Withrow "Maxanne" (Columbus, OH USA) : It's hard to find a small TV with decent picture quality, and this 19 inch Samsung is about as good as it gets in that respect. I bought it mainly to use while walking on my treadmill, where I'm looking at the screen from a couple of feet back. I'd actually have preferred a 15 or 16 inch TV for this purpose, and I also own a current model, 16 inch Viewsonic that I could have used. But the Samsung's picture is way better; the Viewsonic is washed out by comparison, and if you're not directly in front of the Viewsonic, it gets worse. This seems to be a problem with 15-16 inch TVs in general, based on other reviews on Amazon.

Richard Thompson :  it appears Samsung doesn't offer these features on any TV smaller than 32 inches. That's a shame, because if you think about it, the places where you'd want a small TV (kitchens? bathrooms?) are probably the very places where you don't want several pieces of equipment and a tangle of cables. Even though the Roku interface is better than the comparatively sluggish "Smart TV" features on one of my larger Samsung sets, I'd have rather not had to dangle the extra cables off my treadmill to connect a Roku box. A smaller TV with Netflix -- and wifi -- would make perfect sense. Are you listening, Samsung? (Vizio makes one, though admittedly, it's 24 inches -- I might have bought it if it were smaller.)

Kevin Rogers (Massachusetts): The 6300 doesn't come with the smart remote, which is a bummer because I rather liked that feature. But I wasn't going to pay 400 extra to get the next model up just to have the remote. In fact, I like the 6300 model more than the 6400, 7100, 7500, or 8000 because of the matte screen. I have a window right behind me, and from various angles other windows coming from the sides, so not having nasty reflections on black screens (or anything that happens to be black on the screen) is a big deal to me. I just don't like seeing my own face in the middle of a movie.

 Xel Adune: I have come to the conclusion that either the TV's processor cannot handle 1080P AT ALL (What Netflix labels as SUPER HD) streaming or there's some sort of software issue with the apps. The Netflix app is one of the bigger culprits. The audio is out of sync most of the time. The sound will also cut out randomly for anywhere to 2 seconds to minutes, the picture will continue to go but no audio. Doesn't matter wired or wireless, same result. Non-HD will play just fine, although it's a waste of potential given this is a 1080P screen. Googled it to find it to be a common issue, sadly. Which I honestly can't believe considering it's not hard to playback HD video in this day and age (Come on, my phone can do 1080P).

Charles :  My biggest gripe is the Smart TV portion, which is one of the main reasons I bought this TV.
It has Netflix, Amazon Video, Plex, pretty much the main 3 things I want. Perfect, and dual core, should have no issues! I figured I'd get this instead of a lower model without Smart and similar features and pair it with a Roku. Mistake.

Samsung PN60F8500 60-Inch 1080p Deal

J. Young "Hello" (Pittsburgh): I would really like to know how they reduce reflection on the screen like they do. I was sitting in the LR with the TV off. If was in the middle of the day and I had the bay window curtains and blinds wide open. I could see reflections in the TV, but they looked really soft. Blurry like. The images further away were even less visible. I mention this because I did watch a full BR with the same lighting conditions. While I did, I barely saw any reflections in the glass and for what I could see, I really had to stare at it to see.

 KD (Bay Area, CA) : I narrowed my TV's down to the Samsung F8500 and the VT60/ZT60. I did comparisons of the TV's at a brick and mortar store and found that I'm drawn more toward the F8500 with each comparison. Every single reviewer out there claims "black blacks" as if that is the epitome of great picture quality. Do I buy a TV to stare at a black screen? I tried as hard as I could, but I just could not see the differences between the blacks of the ZT60 and the F8500 in a normal lit area. I'm sure in absolute darkness, I can probably see a difference. However, this TV will be my main TV in my living room with windows all around and 4 recess lights above it. I do not have a "man cave" like some lucky few out there.

B. Wilson: I had my expectations on this TV pretty high. I've always bought Samsung TVs. I have 3 others, and this one I was buying to put in place of my LN52A750 (a fantastic TV, and still using today). I had my eye on all the Samsung TVs as the 2012 models were released. Those had mixed reviews, so waited another year. As soon as the 2013s were released, I had my eye on the 8000 series LED, and this one, the 8500 Plasma. Due to the size of my entertainment center, I was between either the 60" plasma or 65" LED. After months of reading reviews, looking at the TVs on showroom floors, and what not, I pulled the trigger on the PN60F8500. Boy was I excited! My thoughts and experience below-

Samsung UN32EH5000 32-Inch 1080p Deal

HopefullyThoughtful: Can you imagine buying a car because you know its manufacturer uses great, reliable engines, only to find out that they use completely different engines without telling you, all of which are of lower quality? Samsung does this with their TVs, and some of them don't EVER have Samsung panels (e.g., the 37" model will NEVER have a Samsung panel because they don't make 37" panels). Samsung uses 4 different panel types from four different manufacturers - each with a substantially different technology.

Bareyb (Silicon Valley USA): I am going to have to go out on a limb here and say that this is the most delightful TV I have had the privilege of owning. It's only my 2nd flat screen but I can still attest that this one is a keeper. The colors are great, the picture is crisp and you will find it to be an overall very pleasant viewing experience. I have not yet tried all of it's features but I did do some tweaking. There's not an overwhelming amount of options to choose from in the picture menu but it is definitely adequate. I would recommend this tv if you like the "set it and forget it" philosophy. It certainly makes things simpler and you get a great picture with the built in presets. If you do like to tweak then you can find a few things to play with but it is just not extensive. I like the music setting on the audio menu. I prefer the music preset. Let me advise you that this is the tv to beat in terms of audio quality.

 Christopher Engel (MA): Let's just start off with what really matters: The only thing wrong with this TV is the unique "LED Motion Sensing" technology. In theory, this allegedly causes the backlight to have a "strobe" effect so as to enhance motion in a way similar to higher refresh rates, and, in theory, help with the problem of HDTV blurring. This is simply misleading marketing, as it does not, in fact, do that at any point, no matter how much I test with it on whatever scene. If it is indeed happening, I don't notice it.

Samsung UN40F5500 40-Inch 1080p Deal

Goldengate "Goldengate" (San Francisco, where else?) : I think the software on these "smart TV's" is still overly complex to navigate... At some point a company like Apple is going to figure this out and make a truly seamless intuitive experience. For example, to get to my media on my computer, I have to click "smart apps" then scroll to video, click that, then select a source, then start scrolling through files on the computer. There has to be a better way. Having said that, it's not terrible, and the dual core makes for gorgeous animated menus and really nice response time.

Matthew D Muller (Cambridge, MA): This is my third Samsung LED and I found the picture to be as good as that of my UN46D7000 (higher-tier 2011 model). Supposedly this set can't do micro-dimming. But you wouldn't know it from the black levels, which are as good as or better than the D7000's, lending the F5500 great picture depth. Overall this is a solid performer where it counts, and in a nice-looking package. Very good value for this price point. As noted below, the power cord connector protrudes from the back enough that it might interfere with a low profile mount. And some of the smart apps didn't work out of the box. There are workarounds for the first issue and as for the second, I expect Samsung will fix the apps with an update soon.

Gotham Observer "porkboy" (NYC, NY): Let me start by saying I'm a former employee of Samsung. I know they make incredible electronics, I've seen the glowing customer reviews on samsung.com, I've owned quite a few of their products and loved them, but this TV is not meeting expectations. I'm also a web marketer by trade and have a background in internet tech support. I'm tech savvy and I know what I'm doing.

Samsung UN19F4000 19-Inch 720p Deal

Cheryl L. Matthews : First the cons. The single most annoying feature of this TV is the base. It is a cheap plastic base that does not fit properly. It is wiggly even when fully tightened. We had to jury rig it to get it to fit properly (snugly). Even when tightened it leans down to the right (so the viewing from is not square, it is tilted) at a pretty noticeable angle of about an inch... To align it I propped the power cube that is part of the power cord under one end of the set and then it was even. Should a customer have to go through this for a new product? Definitely not. If you intend to mount this TV on a wall or under a cabinet you will not have this problem and it is obvious that Samsung felt most would opt to do that hence not caring about the crappy fit of the base.

Burt Bicksler (Sevierville, TN, US): For general home use, as we do in the kitchen, this TV provides a decent-enough picture and adequate sound for the casual or passive viewing and listening experience that it is being used for. It is very economical to operate considering its 12-volt DC power supply. It is very compact for use on the kitchen counter and below cabinets. However, the only negative is that with the need to use the power adapter, plus make cable connections from the source to a digital box and then to the TV, there's a lot of cables and wiring to try and conceal when sitting on a relatively-open kitchen cabinet. A more simplified or condensed power supply with less cords/wires would be more appealing.

Ancient Mariner "Grandpa C." (Parksville, British Columbia Canada): The set is very light and easy to set up; 3 screws in the bottom to attach the fixed base, and you're good to go...simply plug the cable into the rear of the set and plug the set into an outlet. Once you turn the TV on, programming instructions will appear; use the fast start guide as a reference. The set will auto-tune your cable provider's channels (I have Verizon FIOS), and you can either manually set the color, contrast, ratio, etc. or utilize the factory preset.

Samsung UN46ES6500 46-Inch 1080p Deal

John A. Johnson (State College, PA USA):I have now owned my Samsung UN50F6400 for almost three months. Rather than analyzing things like picture quality (great, overall imho, although I haven't watched anything in 3D yet), I would like to focus this review on what this HDTV does. I have organized my review around the structure of the UN50F6400 menu system, which Samsung calls its SMART HUB.

Gerriet Bolt "Pop Lifer" (IOWA CITY, IA United States): I haven't tried all of the available apps, but the ones that I have tried work as well as the apps on my Samsung Galaxy smartphone, for the most part. Logically, they should work as well. In fact, shouldn't they work a little better, given that the TV has a more powerful processor, larger screen, and external, full keyboard and mouse? You would think so, but in some cases I found the TV apps to be surprisingly primitive--as primitive as the software that I happily no longer run on the Comcast set top box that I have returned. Specifically, in cases where you think you should be able to type words into a search box with the external keyboard, instead you have to navigate with the arrow keys through a matrix of letters and numbers on the screen to spell out the words, one letter at a time. On my phone, I can always type in search terms with a virtual keyboard. In fact, I can connect a USB keyboard and mouse to my phone if I like.

Rebecca "tvk" (SPRING VALLEY, MN, United States) : The Movies & TV Shows panel screen is the location dedicated to the renting and purchasing of movies and TV shows (surprise, surprise). This panel displays within a fairly large window on the left half if the screen a "Featured Movie." I have no idea what criteria are used to select the featured movie, but it changes regularly. To the right of the featured movie are a set of tiles that contain "Recommended" movies and TV shows. Again, who knows how these are chosen? Perhaps the featured and recommended listings are initially based on what is popular in the overall population of Samsung users and eventually becomes tailored based upon what you watch. That's my best guess, anyway.

Samsung UN46F6300 46-Inch 1080p Deal

Kevin Rogers (Massachusetts): I just upgraded to a larger living room, and my old Samsung 46" CCFL-backlit LCD did not cut it. I couldn't even read the text on the screen when browsing the web. So I drew up some diagrams, did some trigonometry, and decided that I needed at least a 60 or 65" TV. Being out of the TV market for several years, I didn't keep up with all the new features and marketing lingo, so I visited a few big box stores to get information on what all of this new "Smart" features, CMR, micro-dimming, etc. Turns out CMR is just a combined rating of processor speed, micro-dimming, dynamic contrast, and other various stuff. Apparently micro-dimming on Samsungs is all software. Why? Because these babies are all edge-lit.

Patsfan: This is my first review on Amazon and I normally dont do this, but I feel compelled to write one because most of the reviews on this fabulous TV are missing a key Demographic...GAMERS!!! Skip down to the 2nd paragraph for gaming if you dont want to real this background paragraph. To start off, I purchased the Samsung UN46F6300 46 inch LED TV solely for the purpose of Video gaming, but also for streaming Netflix and Cable TV. With the new XBOX One coming out I knew I had to upgrade from my Dynex 40 Inch LCD TV I purchased before I went away to school in 2009. I did a lot of research and was split on buying an LED TV that was either 120 HZ refresh rate or 240 HZ. After learning that the human eye can barely tell the difference between 120 HZ and 240 HZ I decided to go with 120 HZ because its cheaper and the technology is better developed than 240 HZ. Long story short, I researched brands endlessly looking for that "flawless" TV, and came to the conclusion that my first LED TV is going to be a Samsung. I was then split between the Samsung UN46F6300 (this model) and the Samsung UN46F6400 which is the 3D version with 480 Clear motion rate.

CarlTN: My background: Art major, pro photographer, highend home audio/stereo veteran, home-theater veteran (sort of). Owned a couple of front projectors over the last decade, currently without one...still have a very large 2.35:1 Da-Lite high gain screen. I don't play video games. I mostly watch 1080i "hdtv" broadcasts, or else blu rays via a slightly old player. All connected with silver-plated HDMI cable (yes it does make a big difference...and this cable did not cost very much, either).

Samsung UN65F8000 65-Inch 1080p Deal

Concerned Consumer "Al" : Picture Quality: The picture quality on this TV is fantastic especially after a few color tweaks (posted below). The blacks are so DEEP compared to my last tv(direct lit led). There is a SMALL amount of flash lighting in all four corners(more noticable on 60" when in PC mode); I believe this is a fault for ALL edge lit tv's as that is how the image functions. I can only notice flashlighting in all black lighting with something like movie title in middle of screen and black on rest of screen, or if in PC mode with a most black screen. Unless you are really looking for it in a black screen and concentrated on a corner you will not notice flashlighting.

Corey Fisher (Las Vegas, Nevada United States): Right now, the tv (55-inch) is currently 48 inches wide. The problem I am having with this TV is that the stand is also 48 inches wide, which will be a huge inconvenience to most people. It's too wide for 90% of TV stands out there so be warned before purchasing this tv. It currently is also measured 12 inches depth too. I have yet to find a tv stand other then an ultra wide or expensive shelf to sit it on. This is another poor example of form over function. I have a feeling Samsung will bite the bullet on this one because of this mistake as most will have a difficult time find a stand to put this on or it will be un-achievable on their current existing stands. This won't be an issue for those wall mounting, but before you buy this TV, you better measure where you'll put it first.

CC reader: We researched extensively before replacing our 10 year old set. We knew we wanted backlit LCD rather than Plasma and we wanted to go bigger. We looked at many sets but settled on the Samsung UN55ES7200 and UN55F8000. Based upon the reviews there were some issues with the ES8000, which was an early generation of Samsung smart tvs. While that set is meaningfully less expensive we are glad we went with the F8000 released in 2013. The picture is incredibly crisp and, despite its size the set is slim and light weight. The clicker has a touch pad feature and the connections with the internet, HBO, Amazon, Netflix are very easy (even for a non-technically savvy person like me). It connected easily (although it was missing 2 screws which Samsung sent out very quickly) so set up time was nominal. There have been no resolution or lighting issues (as have been described in the ES8000).

G. Peck (Illinois): Samsung's 2012 line of LCD televisions focuses primarily on switching their backlighting from CCFL to direct-array LED. Unlike CCFL lighting, LEDs don't diminish in brightness over time and have an incredibly long lifespan. Additionally, these sets are significantly lighter than their old CCFL counterparts which makes moving them around easier. However, this model is not edge-lit which means it's not really thinner despite the weight savings. The lights are directly behind the screen (i.e. direct-array), which many video purists prefer since it makes the lighting more even. This model does not support local dimming.

Espy (San Diego, CA): To start off, the display is fantastic. Colors are rich and the blacks are deep. The set only supports 60hz, but I have never really found myself needing more than that. The lighting is mostly even, but there is noticeably dimming in the corners of the set. The screen is semi-glossy, which I dislike greatly because I can see reflections of myself or the room in darker scenes. Glare from windows is also pretty obvious, so definitely factor that in about where to put this set before you buy it. The bezel which actually makes it look smaller than it is for some reason. The controls for the set are a 4-way joystick hidden under the bottom right side of the bezel.

 Seetha :I purchased two of these Samsung 32EH5300s over the holidays, and I am greatly impressed with them. The "full-array" LED lighting makes the TV a bit deeper than the typical edge lit LED TV, but in return you get much more even lighting and an overall better viewing experience. I was also surprised to see how good the Samsung does with standard def (SD) signals - of course not as good as HD quality but much better than the horrible quality I've seen on some LCD / LED TVs in the past.

Kevin Rogers (Massachusetts): I just upgraded to a larger living room, and my old Samsung 46" CCFL-backlit LCD did not cut it. I couldn't even read the text on the screen when browsing the web. So I drew up some diagrams, did some trigonometry, and decided that I needed at least a 60 or 65" TV. Being out of the TV market for several years, I didn't keep up with all the new features and marketing lingo, so I visited a few big box stores to get information on what all of this new "Smart" features, CMR, micro-dimming, etc. Turns out CMR is just a combined rating of processor speed, micro-dimming, dynamic contrast, and other various stuff. Apparently micro-dimming on Samsungs is all software. Why? Because these babies are all edge-lit. They don't have "real" local dimming, only "fake" local dimming.

U Lala (Orange County, CA - USA):  don't like my color settings to be vivid, natural, dark, bright, contrasty, dim, or anything other than "accurate." So, I googled some calibration settings to 6500K, and after going through that process the picture was... pretty darn good. In case anyone was interested, they are posted below. "Movie mode" apparently changes the color temperature model / white balance mode to 6500K, and from there you can adjust the other settings.

Patsfan : This is my first review on Amazon and I normally dont do this, but I feel compelled to write one because most of the reviews on this fabulous TV are missing a key Demographic...GAMERS!!! Skip down to the 2nd paragraph for gaming if you dont want to real this background paragraph. To start off, I purchased the Samsung UN46F6300 46 inch LED TV solely for the purpose of Video gaming, but also for streaming Netflix and Cable TV. With the new XBOX One coming out I knew I had to upgrade from my Dynex 40 Inch LCD TV I purchased before I went away to school in 2009. I did a lot of research and was split on buying an LED TV that was either 120 HZ refresh rate or 240 HZ. After learning that the human eye can barely tell the difference between 120 HZ and 240 HZ I decided to go with 120 HZ because its cheaper and the technology is better developed than 240 HZ. Long story short, I researched brands endlessly looking for that "flawless" TV, and came to the conclusion that my first LED TV is going to be a Samsung. I was then split between the Samsung UN46F6300 (this model) and the Samsung UN46F6400 which is the 3D version with 480 Clear motion rate.

Samsung UN22F5000 22-Inch 1080p: For starters, comparing this model side by side with the older Samsung EH5000 models, the first thing you will notice is how much thinner the F5000 is. At 1.9" thick, it's almost as thin as any LCD TV gets; and its roughly half as thick as the prior model. The 2" difference really matters, especially for those of you who will be wall mounting the TV. With a low profile mount, the TV is about as flat as one could expect to get.

John: Tv weighs very little and could easily be held by most any mount. Remote is nice and has a backlight.
One complaint I do have is there is no mention of this unit being a lo-volt (12v DC) model. Meaning it requires an included transformer to step down the 120v AC power. This isn't a real problem unless you are wall mounting the tv and suddenly realize that you now have to contend with concealing a 1.5"x1"x3.5" transformer. I almost returned the tv based on this alone, however, the cord on the transformer was long enough that I could conceal the transformer in the cabinet below with my other A/V equipment and pull the wire up throughout the wall with the HDMI cable. This actually worked out to my advantage because the lo-volt wire is much smaller than a typical AC cord so it was easier to hide the wire from the back of the TV to the wall.

Paul S. Remington (Rochester, NY USA): Following in the tradition of its larger cousins, the Samsung UN22F5000 is a 22"-class LED HD television that offers excellent video quality while holding back on connectivity options and extra features. It isn't the smallest offering on the block. That title goes to Samsung's 19"-class 19F4000. The UN22F5000 is essentially the same television with one big exception: it offers 1080p with a video resolution of 1920 x 1080. The 19" 4000-series television is only 720p. If you're shopping for a small Samsung television and want to stay in the 1080p world, you'll want to take a good look at the 5000-series UN22F5000.

Goldengate "Goldengate" (San Francisco, where else?): This TV does NOT accommodate bluetooth keyboards, so wireless is out of the picture. I believe the next model up of Samsung (the 6000 series) accommodates Bluetooth as that is referenced in the manual. The "Smart Apps" section reveals many apps (Pandora, Picasa, etc) that you would find on your Smartphone. Due to the dual core of the TV's processor, apps load quickly and the TV starts immediately. As for the sound, it's really decent to good. You're not ever going to get good base etc without an external sound source on any HDTV... but this provides a good viewing experience. Figuring out the DLNA networking (to watch videos and pictures stored on my computer) was unnecessarily complex (very simple on the Vizio). The TV couldn't "see" other devices on the home network until I clicked "Play to" on the computer in the right click context menu and selected the Samsung.

Matthew D Muller (Cambridge, MA): This is my third Samsung LED and I found the picture to be as good as that of my UN46D7000 (higher-tier 2011 model). Supposedly this set can't do micro-dimming. But you wouldn't know it from the black levels, which are as good as or better than the D7000's, lending the F5500 great picture depth. Overall this is a solid performer where it counts, and in a nice-looking package. Very good value for this price point. As noted below, the power cord connector protrudes from the back enough that it might interfere with a low profile mount. And some of the smart apps didn't work out of the box. There are workarounds for the first issue and as for the second, I expect Samsung will fix the apps with an update soon.

Gotham Observer "porkboy" (NYC, NY): Let me start by saying I'm a former employee of Samsung. I know they make incredible electronics, I've seen the glowing customer reviews on samsung.com, I've owned quite a few of their products and loved them, but this TV is not meeting expectations. I'm also a web marketer by trade and have a background in internet tech support. I'm tech savvy and I know what I'm doing.

N (Moon, Space): How it is: Nice and clear screen with good color reproduction. Intuitive, if cluttered, remote. All ports are at the back, and component and composite port are one and the same, befitting its budget ambitions. Only two HDMI ports, which may not matter much if just using as some ersatz computer monitor (hey, HTPC!) or a bedroom TV (...Roku?). Also missing due to budget constraints: smart TV functions--you ain't watching that Netflix of yours unless you get an HTPC or a settop box. You aren't probably going to miss the extra pixels, but you are going to miss the higher refresh rate--motion blur is rather pronounced on this TV. Movies, being shot at 30FPS, however, work better than, say, sports or games. LED cuts down on power cost, resulting in one of the most efficient TV of its size. It's not sidelit or direct-lit, though, so it's not particularly going to be thin depth-wise (it does have a thin bezel compared to other TVs of this size).

D. J. Blann: I'm always puzzled by reviews that complain about stated features of products. In this case, I have read several reviews by people that complain that this Samsung TV is not a Slim model. Apparently some people rely only on pictures and not on detailed descriptions of things like Specifications, or Product Measurements.

Maddie (Beverly, MA USA): I should point out that, contrary to another reviewer's statement, this TV is indeed VESA compatible for wall mounts. I had no problem attaching the TV to a Cheetah mount (also purchased on Amazon). In this case, the Amazon description was not clear what the mounting options were, so I was forced to (gasp!) visit the Samsung web site. A quick search on the model number and I was able to download the manual and review the detailed specs, including mounting hole measurements.

R. W. Cope II (Philadelphia, PA): The only snag for me in setting up the TV was getting the latest version of the Samsung software. After connecting to internet (which was easy), the TV updated all the software, which took about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, all the required updates were not available to the TV through its online update mechanism, and that caused the Amazon Prime Video software to fail to run. It complained that the Samsung Smart Hub software needed to be updated, but the Smart Hub software reported that there were no updates to be found.

M. K "Joe" (CT,USA): Got the TV couple of days back.Looks good but not a sleek design.It doesn't matter to me .The picture is great so is the sound.Got lot of options and features in this Smart TV.The price may be a little too much at this time, since it's a new model from Samsung.Apart from the price and the size(Like a LCD Tv because of its size)the TV is just amazing so far.Right now I'm using this TV only for streaming movies from VUDU and movies from my PC through the built in LAN.No buffering or whatsoever.Have loads of features,haven't explored all of the features.But navigating the remote is a real junk for web browsing.Flash doesn't work fully as described in the TV features.There was no sound in the site which i browsed using flash.Tried watchespn.com, but could not play the stream.So browsing the web and streaming videos is not entirely complete.
