Touch of Color

Touch of Color Samsung's Series 6 marks the first appearance of TOC (Touch of Color) design in the 2008 LCD HDTV line-up. 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. Touch of Color

InfoLink

Touch of Color 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

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

clear panel chart
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/500 nit Brightness

25,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio 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 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.

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.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)

DLNA logo

dlna daisy chain
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.

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?

HDTV Size chart
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.
  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

  • Series 7 1080p LCD HDTVs are available in 40-inch, 46-inch, and 52-inch (model numbers LN40A750T, LN46A750T and LN52A750T)

5 out of 5 stars Stunning picture - couldn't be more pleased   May 13, 2008
I purchased the Samsung LN52A650 1.5 months ago as soon as I saw that there was a firmware patch for the shut-off issue. We started experiencing the shut-off issue a couple of days after receiving the TV. I installed the patch and have not had the problem again since. (It's been 4 weeks since the patch.) The picture quality is fantastic. The local cable company HD service is 1080i and the picture is excellent. With Blu-ray discs the picture is stunning. We also use it for game play with a Playstation 3 and Wii. Works flawlessly and I have not seen a single hint of ghosting even with the fastest action games. I'm very pleased with the purchse, the Amazon price, and in-home delivery.


5 out of 5 stars Overall Great experience - start to finish.   May 12, 2008

Shipper (CEVA) was superb...quick response, great communication and tv arrived a full 10 DAYS prior to quote from Amazon! CEVA even let me change shipping address mid-shipment w/o any issue or delay to shipment. They scheduled my appointment around MY availability and delivered on a Saturday. Total order went from purchase on Wednesday - to in my house and setup in my living room on Saturday. Professional delivery service and could not ask for more from them. Very accommodating.

TV is outstanding in both terms of external looks and actual display. When viewing a true 1080p image, makes HiDef look like Standard definitionin comparison. You can put your eye 1 inch from screen and not see any distortion. Amazing in terms of a 52" tv. Next level stuff.



5 out of 5 stars A very nice LCD in the market.   May 12, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I have received this LCD 3 days ago and wanted to share my experience here. This is very nice and spectacular LCD available in the market. I have did a lot of research before buying this and compared with sony and sharp. I don't remember how many times I visited BestBuy to see the differnece between these 3 TVs. Finally I have voted for this TV and I am very happy with it now. I would recommend this TV. I don't want to talk about the Technical Stuff but this is worth spending this much money and Amazon's purchase was a breeze.I received this in 5 days after ordering.


5 out of 5 stars Very Very Very Nice   May 10, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Received my Samsung 52A650 yesterday. I have never seen a picture this good on a TV. It really is very good. I do not have Blue ray yet. Have been watching regular DVD's played thru a player I got when I ordered this TV. It upscales the image to 1080p. It is hard to believe that blue ray will look better! You can see so much detail on this TV. Absolutly beautiful. I do not have cable either. Just HD TV over an antena. But that also loooks awsome.

Check out the AVS forum for owners comments and advice about this TV. Like any high end new release product there can be issues. But they seem to be a low percentage of those sold. Good to know what to look for. They also have suggested image settings and sound settings. Will try some of those out today.

If you are comparing this set with plazma and trying to decide which way to go, don't hesitate any more. This baby handles motion very well. Samsung seems to have hit one out of the park with this TV. All the advantages of an LCD (lighter, no image retention issues, runs cooler, better PC image, better reflection carateristics in high lit rooms) plus the performance of an LCD for high motion action like sports.



5 out of 5 stars left us speechless   May 9, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I focus on the style as much as picture quality. We bought a samsung 40''LCD a year ago.LN-S4052D 40" beautiful white, the design was inspired by red wine glass. Both appearance and picture quality are fantasic. Color contrast Ratio is 4000:1, the highest at the time.

Then we bought this one last week. We are speechless because it's even much better that the "Fantasic one", so can not find words to describe. Some might not agree, I do like the black crystal style panel.

This is the perfect TV should look like.
