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

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars. Here's why... March 27, 2010

By Peter

Amazon Verified Purchase

In considering what TV to buy my parents, I had the apparent choice between buying an led LCD or a plasma. I opted to get the led, but you wouldn't really be wrong to go the other route. My parents just wanted any TV that was bigger than 50 inches while I, being somewhat of a techy, needed to find the best TV over 50 inches. Well, here you have what I would call the third best TV over 50 inches (the 8500 and 8000 models being better) at the time of this review. This is the first of Samsung's new line of lcds to come out this year, and it narrowly beats out last years 6 and 7 series TVs by offering a better contrast ratio (4,000,000-1 vs. 3,000,000-1) for virtually the same price point. Otherwise, it's pretty much identical after reviewing the specs. Newer is better though in this case also because of the firmware upgrades and other fine improvements in engineering and technology.

The TV was delivered about 5 days after I purchased it through Amazon, and it took about 15 minutes to set up. Out of the box the thing looks incredible. It's as thin as a blackberry! Some assembly was required with a phillips head and about 10 screws to attach the tv to the stand, but it was only 4 steps total and added to the suspense. After plugging in literally two cords (the hd component cables and the power cord) you are up and running. When the picture came on it was CRYSTAL clear. It puts every other TV I've seen to shame. You can go to Best Buy and do a side by side comparison and you won't find anything better. Forget about the plasma, this is the way to go. I could describe in more detail how great the picture is, but suffice to say it's flawless from movies to news to sports. Even if this is not your first HDTV, you will notice a big difference. I bought a 32" 240 mhz set in Decemeber and this tv is in another league. The LED side panel illumination works well, and there is very little adjustment of the settings necessary to achieve true to life picture quality.

"True to life" will be understood in a new way when you buy this TV. The longer it has been since your last TV purchase, the more breathtaking this advancement in technology will be. Regardless, this will be a TV that will have a useful life for years (longer than a plasma) and will always look amazing. That being said, I would get the warranty (2 years) for an extra 170 or so.

Note: I chose lcd over plasma because lcds are noiseless and don't have the risk of picture burn-in. The 58' plasma I was looking at is the same price. This TV is better than plasmas priced less at the time of the review. If price is the main concern, I might do an in store side by side comparison with cheaper plasmas to see if the difference to you is worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing TV, but may be too big for my room May 15, 2010

By M. Leingang VINE™ VOICE

I went to a local electronics store to buy a 46" LCD to replace the Samsung 46" LCD I just broke and ended coming home with this. F ry s had it on sale for 1 5 0 0, so we decided to spend the extra 6 0 0 to buy this. I was torn about not buying the Samsung TV with the Internet functions (Netflix, Pandora, etc..) but we have the PS3, which makes up for it. We had to decide between the Samsung Models LN46C630, LN46C650, UN46C6300, UN46C6500, and this model UN55C6300. They were priced and 8 7 9, 1 0 3 9, 1 3 2 9, 1 4 9 9, and 1 4 9 9. We were only looking at Samsung because we have had only good experiences with Samsung until I accidently hit the LCD :(( (Crack!!) Long story short we walked out with the 55"

On to the Review:

Before purchasing this TV, please consider your room size. We are about 10ft away from the TV and this is about as close as you want to be. There is a big difference between a 46" and 55"

The setup was easy. The size of the box makes it difficult for one person to carry it but the TV is light enough for one person to lift it. The first step is to attach the back plate to the base with 5 screws, next it is suggested to use two people to put the TV on the base. I was able to do this step by myself. It has tabs that latch in and 5 screws to attach the TV to the base.

All 4 HDMI Ports are located on the side, so may need to use the cable management system that comes with the TV. There is also a component video connection. There is no COMPOSITE video connector, which is a slight con for me because I need to buy a new connector for our WII. So if must have a composite connector on your TV then this TV is not for you. I did not dock the TV any stars for this because I could have looked closer... Besides composite to old school and I do not mind buying the component cable

The TV powers up fairly quick and noticeably faster than our 550 model I killed..

The clarity of this TV is amazing, the colors really pop out and are well defined. It is almost like the people on the screen are in the room with you. I thought Blu Rays were unbelievable on our 46" LCD, it is trippy watching them on the 55" screen. Talk about seeing the pores on people's faces. Maybe it is a little too good of a picture :D (I know, no such thing) There is defintely some reflection from the TV but not enough to bother us.

The sound is on par with our previous Samsung, which not great for audiophile people but more than enough then we need for our family.

Because it is a LED LCD it is thin. It is a little over 1" thick. Not as thin as the 9000 series but I do not have that kind of money laying around :)

I highly recommend this TV for anyone with a room larger enough to accomidate it. I am not having any buyers remorse. If anyone has any questions please post a comment and I will try to answer them.

7/18/2010 Update - Just a quick 2 month update. The TV continues to amaze and the Blu-Ray are just insane on this TV. I see the electronics store has 6500 model for 200 more than we paid for this

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! March 12, 2010

By Island girl

We have had this tv for 2 months and it just doesn't seem like it could possibly be any better. The colors are so true and there is so much depth that it actually seems 3D at times. When you play a Blu Ray the colors pop even more and you really feel like you are part of the picture or scene. I have done a double take at times because it appears so life like! We love this tv and are so happy when we get a chance to relax and watch it (not often enough!). Wall hook up was a breeze and it has enough HDMI inputs to make it even easier. I wouldn't recommend the Samsung Blu Ray player though if you are running everything thru a receiver. Samsung's "Any net" gets confused about what you are trying to do. Or at least the Universal remote doesn't recognize that the tv is in control of the Blu Ray player. (Or maybe it's me who gets confused on what it is trying to do!) Anyway, I can't imagine any other tv delivering a better picture than this one. You will enjoy it immensely!
