Product Description

From the Manufacturer

(March 3, 2009)
Redefining the standards for viewing quality, energy-efficiency and home entertainment decor, the Samsung 6000 Series LED HDTV deliver unparalleled picture quality and enhanced connectivity while also helping you reduce your carbon footprint with the reduced power consumption of the LED screen. Using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as its primary light source--rather than traditional Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL)--this cutting edge HDTV also offers the benefits of an ultra-high contrast ratio and a slim depth that allows for a more artful design.

Samsung's 6000 Series LED HDTV line-up boasts high dynamic contrast ratios, complements of the ground breaking LED light source. It also incorporates a number of innovative features to reduce the motion blur and image judder, which traditionally plague LCD HDTVs when displaying fast movement. The Auto Motion Plus frame interpolation technology utilizes a 120Hz refresh rate helps ensure crisp, easy viewing of sports, video games and movies.

The 6000 Series also includes access to Samsung's InfoLink RSS service, which can instantly display updated news, sports, weather and stocks information with a touch of the remote. And this HDTV is accented by Samsung's TOC (Touch of Color), which offers a hint of a translucent color around the edges of the unit for a uniquely fashionable look.

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.

Breakthrough LED Picture Quality

Compared to a traditional CCFL, LEDs produce darker blacks that appear endlessly deep to the eye. Whites also remain crisp and bright with vivid colors. The result is picture quality that measures up to the natural beauty of life. For instance, Samsung's Wide Color Enhancer Pro feature lets consumers enjoy a broader color palette. The Ultra Clear Panel further allows the preservation of every detail even in brightly-lit, imperfect viewing conditions. This is done by effectively allowing more light to pass through the screen and simultaneously reducing reflections from ambient light. And with an adaptive "Natural" mode, Samsung's LED HDTVs can combine the recognized brightness advantage of LCD displays with the cinema-like viewing experience of plasma displays by automatically optimizing picture settings.

---

The benefits of using LEDs include not only improved picture quality, but also reduced power consumption levels to easily meet the stringent new Energy Star v3.0 guidelines. The LED modules are mercury-free, which makes for cleaner manufacturing and safer recycling when compared with backlight technologies currently available. In the LED HDTV line, energy consumption is reduced by 40 percent versus traditional LCD HDTVs of a similar size. The LED HDTVs also include a power indicator menu, and an optimized energy savings mode. In addition, these TVs require less material to manufacture and are thinner, reducing packing material and consumer waste. The smaller packaging allows for more units to be shipped and less fuel to be consumed at a time which potentially reduces Samsung's carbon footprint.

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.

---

Touch of Color

In 2008, Samsung created its unique Touch of Color (ToC) design, which uses dual-injection molding to coat a translucent, colored surface to achieve an attractive crystalline appearance. The latest evolution of Samsung's ToC design begins with a deep piano black bezel that fades into distinct chrome that finishes as light ruby highlights on the 7000 and 6000 Series LED HDTVs. The intensity of the color subtly changes depending upon the viewing angle, and further accentuates these TV's slim bezels.

InfoLink

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.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for RV Mounting in Narrow Clearance by Slide-Out, October 30, 2009

This review is from: Samsung UN32B6000 32-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV (Electronics)

I purchased this TV because it is so thin. I have a 2006 Triple-Slide 5th Wheel, and it had a cabinet for an old CRT-style TV. Putting the Sammsung ("Sammy") on the stand in that cabinet wasted a huge amount of space. So I made a door for the front of the cabinet from 3/4 inch birch plywood, and stained it to match the color of the cabinet. I used a flat screen mount screwed to this door, and hung the Sammy on that. About 2 inches of clearance for the slide out, and about 15 cubic feet of storage space is recovered. And, it looks VERY sanitary. The door opens with just a perfect amount of clearance, and we have all of our Blue-Rays and DVDs in there, along with books and other stuff. Makes the RV "better than new" in several ways.

Now, about the TV.

I got done just in time for Game 2 of the world series. Stunning. Unlike our home LCD, this monitor has 120 hz. It's fast. You can SEE the baseball heading for home plate CLEARLY. Not a blur. The unit is beautiful, the touch of color is classy. There is a nice little light that would light up the stand if we were using the stand, and it shines right onto our Satellite STB perfectly as we have it mounted. Picture quality is the best I've ever seen in a 32 inch TV. We also use this as a monitor for a MacbookPro in our RV. We can sit or lie on the couch with wireless keyboard and Mouse, and see fine... I'm typing this that way right now!

Set up was a breeze. The only catch was that my satellite box doesn't give the TV a time feed, had to set date/time manually. No big deal. I find the location of the inputs to be just fine, and there are lots of them. Cable management is included with the TV, a nice plus. One negative, and a small one: instead of a standard "computer" style power cord, it has a fixed cord. The cord is a 90 degree plug style cord, and it doesn't go thru the hole in my cabinet, so I have to enlarge the hole to get it thru.

So far, this is the best TV I have ever owned, and I have 3 other flat screen TVs, another Samsung, and 2 Sony Bravias. All are nice, but this LCD is just so pretty, picture wise and design of the unit. If it has no issues, then I'm a Sammy guy all the way, and I have really been happy with my Sonys. If there are any issues, I'll be sure and update.

I oredered this on Amazon thru vendor "Vanns". It arrived days early, via freight, and the driver carried it right in to the RV for me. 1100 plus was a lot to pay, and I think it was worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great picture, sound is wanting, light is annoying, November 24, 2009

This review is from: Samsung UN32B6000 32-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV (Electronics)

Pros:
This television has an excellent picture with outstanding clarity and startling range of colors. Very low wattage is appealing - we run it on solar power.

Cons:
Sound could be much better - the speakers face the wall, which impedes clarity. To me, the sound is no different with the surround sound ON or OFF. The white light under the set is an annoyance which fortunately can be turned off.
