 My first HDTV May 11, 2009
David Courtney (Deltona, FL United States)

I want to start off by warning everyone that this is my first HDTV ever, so I have nothing to compare it to other than regular old school 4:3 CRT televisions.
I bought this TV Friday, May 8th, 2009.
The main thing about this Samsung TV is that the picture is unbelievably rich and vibrant! (So much so that it takes a little getting use to.) The clarity is so good that it is actually distracting to me. (Though I'm sure I'll get use to it.) But as an example, I was re-watching Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl and I couldn't stop noticing the lines on the actors' faces, individual blades of grass, creases in fabric, and all sorts of other subtle details long enough to pay attention to the actual movie! OK - so maybe that is more of a general HDTV thing and has less to do with the Samsung TV? I don't know. Again - this is my first HDTV ever.
The Samsung TV is incredibly thin. This was one of the things that really drew my attention to this TV when I was doing my comparative shopping. Flat panel TV's are an order of magnitude thinner than their larger CRT cousins, but this Samsung TV takes the thinness to a whole new level.
I've read that this particular TV uses less power than standard flat panel TV's. While I'm not a tree-hugging hippie, I do prefer to be a good steward of the planet whenever possible. But more practical is the fact that less power consumption = less heat generated. I live in Florida so I prefer electronics that don't radiate lots of heat.
The integrated speakers are functional, but I can't imagine anyone would spend this much money on a TV and be satisfied with the integrated speakers. I'm not taking points off the review for the relatively lousy speakers because I believe lousy speakers are par for the course with flat panel TV's. (Or TV's in general really. Even CRT TV's have pretty lousy built-in speakers.) If you really want a high quality audio experience, you know you're going to have to use external speakers.
I can't say much about the input options. I bought a Samsung Blu-ray player at the same time I got the TV and I got an HDMI cable to hook up between the two devices. It "just worked." The Samsung TV / Blu-ray player seem to be a good match. When I put in a DVD or Blu-ray disc, the TV turns on automatically and switches to the correct HDMI input. But otherwise I don't have any devices plugged into this TV yet. I don't have cable or satellite or a video game system.
I would suggest that anyone who buys this TV should try to put the TV in a room without any windows or bright lights facing it. I bought this TV for my bedroom and it sits about 12 feet directly in front of my bedroom window. Fortunately the window is on the backside of the house and has a thick blind over it, otherwise I think the reflection from the window would be overwhelming during the day.
The TV is certainly bright and vibrant enough to watch in daylight conditions, that's not the issue. The issue is the amount of reflection on the TV screen. During the day, I can see the reflection from the edge of my window. It's fairly subtle and I can easily address this by buying a decorative curtain to place over my window, but it is something that I think is worth pointing out. If you know you're going to have your TV in front of a big window, it could be a major distraction if you can't cover the window properly.

My requirement for a television is quite simple: plug it in to the cable box and have it work the first time; then turn on the sports event of the day, e.g. Mets or Yankees, Jets or Giants, etc. The Samsung 46 inch LED TV does that very well. You plug it in, it works.
This TV does more with less. It weighs only about 40 pounds plus another 10 pounds for the stand. Compare that with the older Samsung 950 model of the same size which weighs 70 pounds. The elegant stand allows for easy rotation. The TV is only a little over one inch thick! Power consumption has been measured by reviewers at about 105 watts. The 950 model comes in at 180 watts.
The picture is great. The contrast ratio, rated at 3,000,000 to 1, exceeds that of older LCD TVs. The black areas are dark and the picture has an almost 3D quality. There are four preset picture options. I chose the "normal" setting. The next higher setting, "standard", makes infield grass look almost dayglow. I do not think that there is a need to have any further adjustment done on the picture. However, there is an automatic dimming of the overall brightness for dark scenes. For instance, when the credits of a movie run against a black background the lettering becomes dimmer. This has no effect on sports, but does effect dark movie scenes.
The screen surface does reduce reflections but does not eliminate them entirely. The black frame is shiny and does also reflect some light. Rotating the screen to the best angle helps.
The remote provides choices for four picture size variations. I use "16:9" for the HD format or "wide" to make the non-HD, 4:3, video fill the screen. That loses some of the 4:3 picture at the top and bottom edges, but the picture quality is still good.
The sound also has four preset choices. Although, the internal speakers are not bad, I decided to use my sound system for the audio. The TV has an audio output connection, but the TV remote volume control only allows variation in the sound level for the internal speakers. The audio output stays at a constant level. I got around this by taking the audio from my cable box directly to my sound system and controlling the level with the cable remote. This works.
Although Samsung provides a version of the instruction manual on a USB drive with the TV, I found it easy to download and print a pdf of the manual from the Samsung support center. Having the printed manual is helpful. (See my comment for the web address of the support center.)
After one month, I still really like this TV. It is great for sports. An added bonus is that my electric bill has actually gone down.
Note that there is a similiar 7000 model. The 7000 model differs from the 6000 model in its I/O capabilities. Recently some people have reported that the 7000 has a better picture. If you do not need the extras, go with the 6000 and save a few dollars.

I love this Television! Amazing picture quality, easy to configure with some great presets. I purchased this TV from Best Buy and had it delivered the next few days. When I bought it, it was slightly cheaper than what was being offered on Amazon, but since, the Amazon price has been updated to be cheaper. It's amazing to me how quickly the prices on these TVs are dropping.
The only problem I have with the TV and the reason I only gave it 4 stars is the automatically adjusting backlight feature. When the picture is bright, the contrast is amazing, but when the image is dark, the TV dims the backlight so the blacks are blacker. The only problem with this approach is everything gets darker and the contrast goes to hell. This usually isn't a problem and mostly noticeable on credits which isn't a huge deal. I would think you would be able to turn this feature off, but Samsung doesn't allow for that. If anyone knows how to turn it off, I would be very interested in knowing.
Everything else is amazing. Contrast ratio (when the picture is bright) is outstanding, blacks are pitch and the whites seem bright enough to burn your eyes. For easy setup, I recommend the Dynamic setting for the best contrast. Colors seem brilliant and sharp. This setting turns the backlight to 10 which is normally set at 5 on the default settings. Not sure why 5 is the default, it causes the picture to look kind of washed out. I would think that Samsung would want you to be impressed the moment you turned the TV on without any adjustment.
I use Windows Media Center as my primary interface so I have a computer connected to the TV via HDMI. For proper clarity on computer text, you will need to turn the sharpness setting down. The edge enhancement defaults cause super small details like computer text to become washed out. The sharpness feature works very well for HD movies though.
The 120hz Automotion Plus is a quirky feature at best. I have found uses for the different settings depending on the media type. By default the Automotion plus is set to Normal which effectively doubles your framerate by interpolating middle frames(it's magic). A 24 fps signal will show 48 fps and a 60 fps signal will show 120 fps. While this sounds good in theory, the final output is not necessarily all that pleasing. One of the qualities of films, something that give movies a distinctive look from video is the lower frame rate. Movies are filmed at 24 fps and doubling that framerate makes it feel more like video than film IMHO. The interpolation process also isn't perfect. Fast moving scenes can create some unusual anomalies in the picture. People running against a moving backdrop can sometimes seem to have a distortion surrounding them. Not sure if this distortion is coming from the interpolation or artifacts in the Blu-ray video compression, but it's distracting and only noticable with the Automotion turned on. It's not a total loss though, some settings can be useful depending on the source material. I found with Blu-ray and computer animation the Normal setting provides a great effect, giving the impression of a real time rendered output. Wall-E with Automotion Plus is amazing. For standard filmed movies, I recommend the Clear setting, which maintains the 24 fps, but uses the extra frame interpolation to sharpen the blur of fast moving objects. I recommend turning it off for Video games and television. Any anomalies in the picture, such as vertical refresh image tearing in games or mpeg image compression artifacts by cable or satellite are only exasperated by Automotion plus.
I haven't used any of the Media playing abilities of the TV as I have a computer connected to it. Windows 7 handles all of my media playback needs. I highly recommend taking this approach to media playback and purchasing the 6000 model which is quite a bit cheaper, but lacks some of the more advanced network media playback features. While the 7000 and 8000 have some nice online features, it can't beat a computer. Windows 7/Vista also allows you to scale up the user interface dpi while maintain the 1080p resolution for easy viewing with a super sharp picture.
All in all, my recommendation is to buy this TV. Better contrast than plasma with the clarity of LCD. Can't beat that. I am sure that Samsung plans to release a 240hz version of the television with a more expensive price tag, but I don't recommend it. Automotion plus is kind of neat, but its gimmicky more than anything else.
