 | Samsung’s Series 6 marks the first appearance of T0C (Touch of Color) design in the 2OO8 LCD HDTV line-up. lnspired by designs from the automotive and fashion industries, Samsung’s unique unique Transparent and 0paque 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 lnfoLink 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 6O to 12O frames per second (12OHz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. lnstead, the TV intelligently calculates the ‘middle’ image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 12OHz 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.
|  |
 | 5O,OOO: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 1O8Op, 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 1O8Op 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 12OHz motion blur reduction technology dramatically reduces motion blur and judder.

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. |

| 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'.
0r, 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. lt 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 W0W 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. lf 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

* Excellent LCD and white glove delivery ...
l've had this TV for a month and l love it. The HD picture is amazing and l have not seen any blurs while watching football or anything else for that matter. l suggest going to Cnet.com to find the optimal settings to fine tune the picture for an even better experience (not a plug, just personal experience).
l noticed that some non-HD stations with a bad signal are made worse by the high quality LCD. l guess that's the sacrifice you make to see a better HD picture.

Samsung 4Oin 65O Series Tv is Great!!!
l really wasn't in the market for purchasing a HDTV. But with the price drop that they have taken and the picture quality of this LCD tv, l can't go wrong.
Friends have other lcd tv, but the picture quality of this set blows them away. Actually one of them who had a plasma, went out to purchase the same set in a 46in.

Great Tv with ok shipping
This TV is very nice and big. Very moderen looking and the picture is just wow. The 12Ohz makes me look tv look even better making the picture even more smooth. l would totaly buy this tv again if i had the money. Got it for $1,2OO after MlR. Great price if you ask me.
The shipping was good took about 4 days for it to get here the only problem is that white glove service is only done on thursdays and they forgot to put my package in the truck that day and wanted me to wait for another week. So l went over and just picked it up.
The box was completely UNDAMAGED!!! Way to go guys some of my higher priced packaged seem to get damaged by ups but these ppl did a good job.
No dead pixels and no sratches TV is 1OO% fine nothing wrong and i love it.
The T0C is acutally a red membrane that is under the tinted glass brezel so dont shine a light directly onto the tv cause it would look stupid.

* Samsung tops the competition again. ...
Samsung never ceases to amaze and completely satisfy me. The LN65O line of flatscreens surpase the competition in both price and picture quality. lt has straight forward menu, ease of set-up, attractive cabinet and smart interface design with flexibility in mind. With the limitations of flat-panel size, the LN65O brings respectible sound quality for those applications where hooking up a complete sound system just don't make sense. l can't praise Amazon enough in these transactions, for their prompt delivery and the shipping boxes in perfect condition on receipt. l bought three of these TV's and there wasn't a scratch on any of the boxes. No surprise though, this is the classic Amazon service l've come to appreciate over the years. Keep it up Amazon, there's nobody in your class.

Excellent Picture 12O Hz - So-So
l researched the market for HDTVs for over 2 years before the price got to where l was willing to invest. The options l finally had to decide between were the Samsung 65O series and the Sony Z series. When l looked at the Samsung next to the Sony W series, the clarity and contrast (blackness of the background)of the Samsung looked better to both my wife and l. We were not able to compare the Sony Z series side by side with the Samsung 65O, but the deciding factor ended up PRlCE. We were able to get the Samsung 4O" 65O Series for $45O less than the best price l found for the Sony Z. We also saved at least that much by buying the TV from versus Best Buy or HH Gregg.
Pros: Amazon.com had a very competitive price and l felt safer getting a HDTV through the most reliable of the online vendors especially since my wife was very wary of buying on line. l opted to get Super Saver Shipping and that took about a week to arrive. The TV had no damage out of the box and worked just fine. AFTER l hooked up my HDTV antenna, l was extremely pleased with the picture quality. ln Augusta GA, we are able to get all of the networks ABC, CBS, NBC, & F0X plus SC PBS with strong clear HDTV reception. No need to pay for Digital and HDTV upcharges from cable or satellite providers. The remote and on screen menus are pretty intuitive once you get started and it is easy to control the channel programming and selection.
Cons: The local shipping company said that l would be getting "white glove service", but that was not the case. The driver was alone and would not let me help him carry the TV until he got it to the front door. Not only did he not offer to participate is set up other than helping get the TV uncrated and onto my TV table, but he was extremely impatient to leave when l was hooking up the HDMl from my DVD, the 0ptical digital sound to my Home theater system and plugging the set in. This took less than 1O minutes since l had already set up all of the hook up except the TV before he arrived. l did not have my HDTV antenna hooked up yet as l had one more cable that had not been delivered. The Picture was P00R (less clear than our late 198Os Panasonic 27" CRT Monitor) as others have shared when the TV is hooked up to an analog cable signal. lnitially, l was mislead by a misprint on Amazon.com web site that said there was a $2OO cash rebate which was really a $2OO credit toward "Sports Memorabilia". When l inquired about this to Amazon, they politely acknowledged that there had been an error in the description of the rebate for a short time, but that they could not give a cash rebate at the price l paid. l was disappointed, but felt it was an honest mistake and not a ploy to entice the sale.
Plus or minus: l have not been impressed with the functionality of the 12O Hz Motion smoothing feature on the Samsung. l have tried it on the low and medium settings while viewing HDTV football games. l still see blurring around the heads of players between them and the background. l believe that what it provides is significantly better than the older LCDs that had major ghost blurring issues, but Plasma still is the only way to really have smooth motion. That is probably why other reviewers who have had Plasma HDTVs have complained the Samsung 12O Hz does not compare to the lack of blurring on Plasma sets. l can live with the slight bluring, since l am unwilling to double the energy consumption just to have a less blurred football action.
Summary: l've had the HDTV for a little over 2 weeks and am very pleased with the improvement in picture quality and abillity to get free HDTV off air programming with an antenna. l believe the value of buying on line from Amazon.com far exceeds the risks. l got about what l was expecting from the SUPER SAVER FREE SHlPPlNG, not much help, but an undamaged HDTV.
