 Surreal Picture Quality |
| Review Date: August 3, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Rocco Tarasi, Pittsburgh, PA, USA |
We're very happy with this TV... it's picture is surreal, I mean literally surreal, it honestly seems 3D when watching movies, not even Blu-ray but regular DVDs or even HD TV broadcasts. It actually takes a little bit of getting used to, since it is so much clearer and more 3D-ish than previous plasma screens. But we really like the effect.
We did have a minor issue when watching some broadcast movie channels that the picture seemed just a little bit "jerky", but we found a forum that talked about how some movies have a different transmission or screen refresh rate that result sin the timing being a little off, and suggested changing one picture setting on the TV. we haven't had the problem since.
I saw one review that said that the edges were darker than the middle on LED TVs of this size, but I haven't seen anything like that on ours. |

i have a phillips 52 in one one room, my brother has a 58 in plasma samsung, my parents have a 55in rca proscan 240 hz, have seen a few more lcd tvs in the last year, my mother in law has a 52 in sanyo, i thought my 52 in phillips was great, and it is a good tv, i paid a grand for it, good deal, now to this 60 in samsung led tv, i find it hard to believe there is a better tv out there then this, the picture is so surreal and crisp and clear, the colors are over the top, we compared it in the store before i bought on amazon and saved 600 bucks, we compared it with a 55 in sony led, we thought the samsung looked better, we have had the tv for around two weeks, and after playing with the settings i got the tv so my wife and i love it, unlike alot of sonys you have to set this tv for your taste, and its worth it, what sold me was the two year financing and the fact we keep our living room tv for at least ten years so i can't afford to make a mistake, and im am so happy with this tv, as far as the clouding issue one reviewer put down, that is the led lights and you can set the tv so there is no clouding, there is 4 modes, dynamic has no clouding, standard has some, natural is my setting and has very little, and movie mode which darkens the screen, its almost like watching a white movie screen, but its a black tv screen, all four modes have their own settings, so you can set each mode for the way you like to watch the picture, the picture is different then a lcd tv and that is a plus for the colors are so vivid its unreal, yet you feel as if you are watching the show or movie the way it actually is, very clear tv with many features, it handles low light movies so well, you can see the different shades of black, colorful movies like planet 51 look like 3d, everything just looks real, low light movies that go to high light are no problem for this tv, my settings i like the best are in natural, backlight 14, contrast 80, brightness 60, sharpness 60, color 70, in the picture options menu, my settings are, color tone, cool, hdmi black level is normal, film mode is auto 1, might give you a start then you can adjust for your own taste, i love the way peoples faces look, natural, i honestly have not seen every tv made, but out of the ones i have seen, this one is the best, my living room is pretty big, and this tv fits well, i would have gotten a 65 inch but they only have lcds in that size, watched some football and that is great also, no problems with the backlights being brighter in any areas, or no x on the black screen, my only cons is there seems to be no controls on the tv itself to turn it on and off, strange for if the remote goes ill have to unplug it until i get a new one, if there is one on the tv me or my wife can't find it, the other con is it ruins you when you see another tv, my 52 in phillips in the other room just pales in comparison, and when i go over to visit family all their tvs dont look nowhere near as good as they used to, my wife told me not to be a tv snob, and this tv wants to make you one, this is my first samsung tv and really didn't buy the fact so many people are saying they are the best, i'm not enough of an expert to say either way, but i can tell you this is the most amazing tv i've ever had or saw, led rules, thanks amazon for the 4 day delivery and to the other reviewer who helped me make a great decision to buy this tv, will be enjoying myself for a long time, it was well worth the extra money, i was waiting for the sharp 60in quad 240hz tv to come out, but seeing sharp in the store i noticed some grain in the gray colors, settings on the tv might have fixed that, i don't know, but after seeing this tv i had to have it and hope it lasts for years to come, some tips, the manual says you should try to fill the screen as much as possible to avoid ghosting, the good news is that when you fill the screen even with standard programs this tv does not have that mirrored effect on the edges i saw in other lcd tvs that i hate, widescreen movies look fantastic, the guide says watching 16/9 modes is the standard mode to watch, it says to avoid watching 4/3 mode too much which i don't use at all anyway, i have dvd recorders and some old movies and filling the screen with a movie that was not filmed in widescreen still looks great, good luck and hope i covered with enough information for you to make a decision...if i get any more tips or info i will update later, take care....
update, as the other reviewer mentioned, the auto motion seems so far to have no use, since i have had no motion blur, i leave the setting off, also there is a 65 in samsung and i think it is an led, but at 4000 plus i'm glad i bought the 60 in and saved the money..... |
Beautiful, thin, but not without issues

Incredibly thin both in thickness and bezel. Looks incredible on the wall. Minus one star for backlight issues.
Check avsforum: many users, including myself, are a bit unhappy about what may be called flashlighting, or clouding. What may be an inherent problem with thin, edge-lit LCD's in general (worse as they get larger), the backlight is not of consistent brightness across the entire display. When the screen goes completely black, there is a sort of X pattern on the screen, which is slightly lighter than the rest, across the entire panel. It's only noticeable when fully black, or on credits, as far as I can tell right now. Overall it may be a reasonable tradeoff to have a thin screen, but one any buyer should be aware of up front, especially when they are not inexpensive.
I also don't think the ambient light controls for backlighting work well enough. I have a lot of light in my room during the daytime, and I have to manually adjust the backlight up during the day, and back down at night. Apparently the auto setting is just too limited. |
