Customer Review

High Praise for this TV,

I have traditionally been a fan of the Sharp, or Sony TV's, however, I was looking for a TV to fit in a cabinet in my bedroom. I wanted to get the largest one that would fit my space restrictions. The Samsungs, in general, seem to sit lower on their stands than most other brands and really provided the only 32 inch option that would fit my height restrictions. I sure am glad this was the case.

This TV is wonderful. The best part is the picture. It just looks great. The swivel stand is a very nice touch too. I hadn't been looking for it, but it is quite useful as the TV is not directly in front of the bed. The settings and adjustments available are plentiful and adequate. The menus to access them are clean and intuitive.

Another wonderful feature is the energy saving modes. One can set varying levels of energy saving which controls the intensity / brightness of the light for lower power consumption. There is even an auto mode that will adjust the intensity based on what is currently on the screen. This is perfect for the bedroom. When it is late and I am starting to fall asleep I don't like the TV as bright. Energy saving mode is perfect for this and it saves power.

Another feature that I have been wanting in a TV and didn't have until now is a volume moderator. The TV will increase or lower volume automatically to make up for varying source volumes.

The TV seems performant. I haven't had a chance to plug my gaming laptop into one of the 4 HDMI inputs, but with heavy action scenes on TV I haven't seen any ghosting of images. Blacks look black and colors are sharp. No noticable artifacts of any kind.

All in all I am very happy with the purchase.

Samsung Widget TV

Samsung Internet TV

Samsung’s new online trickery is called Internet@TV. Press a remote button and your favoured widgets appear along the bottom of the screen. Once online there’s no denying that it’s a compelling way to access the web. There’s no need to boot up a PC, just choose your widgets from the TV’s gallery and personalise them to show local weather or news feeds and your own Flickr gallery. The widgets open in a panel on the left, which does eat up your screen, but the size of the TV feed can be adjusted to suit.

Internet features in Samsung TV is not all that great in 2009. With Widgets (small applications) you can link to some city to find weather conditions and forecasts for 5 days. With the stock widget you can enter your stock or mutual funds and get quotes. There is an image widget that lets you upload your photos and review. There is a widget to receive the news and most important news. Widgets are a little slow to boot but you can leave them open on the side of the TV and shrink the TV picture to be full image beside the widget or have the widget overlay the TV with the push of a button.

I have not seen the ability to download a movie and I hope that someone will write a widget to do it soon. You can go to Yahoo Widgets and download any number of interesting new applications shortly. I use a box (Voodoo) for downloading and streaming movies. Someday soon, you will not need a separate box.

The wireless connection requires a Samsung USB connected to a USB port available. It sells for $ 80 and is back ordered for 4 weeks. Use a wired connection, but I will go wireless when there is a good reason.

Samsung LCD 32-inch Unboxing




Find 32-inch LCD set ??

Review: Samsung LN32B460


What I like: There is no movement blur (although it sometimes feels a little "off" frames which are extinct), SD looks better than I thought it would, beautiful picture of the DVD pretty color, nice looking TV.

What I don't like : Viewing angle is not good at all if you move only one step away from the center, the picture begins to wash. Black is not deep enough for my taste, if you change the settings so they are, then the entire picture is just not bright enough. Also, I do not know what is the right word, but the picture as a whole just seems a little lower RES when close screen (3 meters) on the whole picture looks kind of "champagne", and there was heat haze to it. Higher rates of SD .... Maybe this is just a way LCDs look? It considers pixelation?

LCD and OLED



LCD vs LED Technology

LED is a new technology in TVs and Computer Monitors and distinctly different from LCD or TFT. LCD requires a backlight, LED does not. LCD uses silicon-based devices, LED uses organic plastic-based devices. LCD has low contrast, LED has very high contrast. LCD is now very old technology and will be replaced by the new organic LED quite quickly over next few years.

Find Model of Samsung LCD TV.
Find Samsung LED TV.

What is an OLED?

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) is a flat display technology, made by placing a series of organic thin films between two conductors. When electrical current is applied, a bright light is emitted. Because OLEDs produce (emit) light they do not require a backlight. This means that OLEDs can be made very thin and very power efficient when compared to LCD (which do require a white backlight).

OLEDs vs LCDs

OLEDs have the following advantages over today's flat-panel tech (LCD or plasma):
  • Low power consumption - OLEDs are a far better choice for portable devices. It also makes OLEDs much more environmental friendly, and a candidate to be the white-light "bulb" of the future
  • Faster refresh rate and better contrast.
  • Greater brightness - The screens are brighter, and have a fuller viewing angle.
  • Exciting displays - new types of displays, that we do not have today, like ultra-thin, flexible or transparent displays.
  • Better durability - OLEDs are very durable and can operate in a broader temperature range.
  • Lighter weight - the screen can be made very thin, and can even be 'printed' on flexible surfaces.

NO PIP ??

Picture in picture, IMHO, is way overrated. I have people who claim my TV is awful despite its great picture because it doesn't have PIP. Whatever! Anyways, PIP only works if you use the TV's ATSC or QAM tuner. If you use HD cable, then you'll need a STB that has that feature and most don't have it. But like I said, PIP is overrated. Most people usually watch only one program at a time. I can't see myself simultaneously watching two channels at once.

But I'm sure the B460 is better than the A450 because newer models tend to be better, especially in terms of contrast ratio. The B460 is 50,000:1 while the A450 is only 10,000:1.


Simply amazed!

This is my first LCD tv. I spent a lot of time looking at them in stores, reading reviews & finally decided that Samsung would provide me the best value for my money.
I purchased this 26" for my bedroom & it's the perfect size. I was a little nervous setting it up but it was so simple. From attaching the stand, hooking it up & setting up the menu options. The picture is amazing! The colors are wonderful, the blacks are not washed out at all but appear rich & dark. There are a number of setting options to achieve the perfect picture for you, including adjusting the backlight.

The sound is good, for a bedroom tv I'm not looking for a movie theater experience & quite frankly, I wouldn't expect tv speakers to ever give me that. I would expect to buy separate speakers. The sound is just as good, if not better, then any past tv I have owned. I have a computer desk off to the side & often glance over at the tv and can view the screen just fine from side angles.

There's also a sleep timer for turning both off & on. I've watched everything from movies to sports to regular shows. Also, for anyone nervous about getting this tv without HD, it's looks incredible even without the HD! There are tons of connections on this model too, including 3 HDMI (2 in the back & one on the side). There is a PC connection too but I haven't tried that or the game mode. I can't find a single negative thing to say & as a plus, the tv itself has a very classy sharp appearance. Very, very happy!

USB Port can lead a Virus to our TV??

TV USB Port and Virus ?

For now in this globalization, everyone continues using USB Flash-drive. It is easy and fit to take to go somewhere, may be in the form of the key ring or the locket. Because of the ease of using Flash Drive, to save it easily done. And retrieving information is very simple.


Currently giant television manufacturers such as Sony, Samsung, Philips, LG and Panasonic have installed USB Port on their television. So now make browsing files from Flash Drive does not need to do via computer. But everyone still doubt with "It's coming with Virus"

But don't afraid to use it because all LCD and Plasma TV USB port have no operating system, it isn't possible to inflect virus on your television.

To clarify : In computer or laptop when it caused an infection it will be inflected from the operating system as we know in the name of Microsoft Windows. Another obvious example is the mobile phone, if you have a Nokia 3310 or other models nearby. You will never have a virus inflection problem because those model have no operating system as we know in the name of Symbian. However if you use N or E series, sometime you will meet this problem since they have an operating system.

Conclusion : Plasma and LCD TV which have USB port or SD Card is an extremely features. To make your purchase, don't worry for virus inflection problem.

B650 vs A750


Find the different?

Hope it helps !!


  • Stand : Samsung B650 stand swivels, the A750 doesn't.
  • USB Flash Drive : B650 includes a USB flash drive with the user guide on it. And B650 has 2 USB ports. So you can use a wireless network adapter in one and a USB flash drive in the other.
  • PIP : Samsung B650 picture in picture will work with the analog or digital tuner. But A750 PIP only worked with the analog tuner.
  • Input : B650 doesn't have an S-video input, like the A750. (S-Video inputs are history on the Samsungs). Another, the side and rear inputs move from the left on the A750 to the right on the B650. (looking from the front)
  • Network : The B650 has the USB 2.0 Movie/photo/music, InfoLink, Anynet and network connection.
  • DLNA-Compatible : the 40 inch and larger include the Content Library and DLNA network (to access your PC content)
  • Mode : The B650 has the new "Custom" mode AMP fine tuning adjustments. There is a new (now 4) picture mode on the B650. (A "Natural" mode between Standard and Movie)
  • Other : The picture IMO is improved slightly on the B650 vs. the A750. The contrast is noticeably improved. Diagonal line jaggies are improved. SD broadcast artifacts seem lessened. (Especially the crap around text.). The menu colors look better.

Awesome TV, July 3, 2009

This is a great TV from Samsung. I was looking at Bravia and this one. The Bravia has some dull colors while colors on the Samsung are very vibrant and beautiful. Also, it has a better contrast ratio. The viewing angles are great and you cannot complain at all with this one.
It is very good for watching blu-ray movies and playing games off PS3. The sound from the TV is amazing as well.

It has some great features like USB-picture (hope it had USB-movie too like in the B650). A very easy to use TV, no complex menus to deal with and no hassle. It has 4 HDMI input ports and a PC-port (to connect a computer). The swivel stand is a small but a handy feature.

Overall an awesome product and a great TV...Love it!!!

Samsung LN40B630 Vs. Sony KDL-40V5100

Samsung's Fabulous B630 Non-glare LCD HDTV, May 11, 2009

Being the first to review the 2009 Samsung LN40B630 on Amazon was purely an accident in that I actually bought the new Sony KDL-40V5100 on April 2nd. At that time, the Samsung B650 had just come out, but its high gloss panel would not have performed well in my brightly lit room. My high definition projection TV had kicked the bucket after 8-years, but I rarely enjoyed watching HD because the daylight glare would wash out the picture. The Sony's non-glare screen performed well except when the picture would black out during dark movie scenes. I discovered that many of the V5100 series have had this glitch and Sony had no fix for it at that time. To Best Buy's credit, they cheerfully exchanged the Sony under their 30-day return policy and delivered the Samsung B630 model which has a non-glare screen and is similar to the popular B650.

My expectations of the new Samsung were that it would perform much like the Sony. I could not have been more wrong. The B630 was like viewing another huge leap in a television experience, while the Sony seemed to be of past technology. The depth and breadth of Samsung's visual color tones are astounding and mesmerizing. A perfect example of that came from viewing scenes of the Caribbean Sea. The Sony could not match the Samsung's Wide Color Enhancer 3 processor with its three dimensional qualities and vibrant tones of turquoise, sea green, cobalt blue, coral pink and white sand clearly seen under the sea. It literally was like being there.

The Samsung's dynamic contrast of 80,000-1 was visibly superior to the Sony's 50,000-1 and convinced me that Samsung's contrast rating was more than a marketing numbers game. The viewing angle of the Sony was horrific when moving away from center by seeing flesh tones morph into green. Samsung's viewing angle was far better by maintaining the proper color tones, but it did lose contrast and brightness. Of course, a slight turn of its swivel base helped to alleviate Samsung's viewing angle issue.

The downside to Samsung's advanced technology was that every movie appeared as video and lost its magical cinema quality. Sony was superior in dealing with this issue. To address that problem, the backlight and contrast settings have to be toned down to soften the picture and to preserve a film's attributes. Most importantly, an adjustment to the 120 Hz Motion Plus feature must be done in order to keep movies from appearing surreal. While some recommend turning the 120 Hz off, I found video blurring far too annoying and placed the Auto Motion Plus to a custom setting of 6 for blur and judder reduction. That seemed like a good compromise without losing much of the film's realistic movement. Experiment with every adjustment to find your best settings and calibration instructions are easily found on [...]. It all came together beautifully for me and hopefully this information can be helpful to you.

One bad design feature was the power and channel functions on the TV itself. You cannot see where they are unless you have light shining directly on them. As long as you use only the remote control, it may be a non-issue. By-the-way, in case you were wondering how effective the non-glare screen was on the Samsung B630; it was perfect. I experienced crystal clear high definition TV -- Day or Night.

STUNNING. Period., March 29, 2009
By Matt Drostdy "Matt"

I'm happy to be the first to rate this wonderful LCD. I'll be short and to the point, and maybe come back and supplement this review after a few more weeks of use.

Aesthetically, the TV is clean and elegant. Love the touch of red. Love the crystal base. Love the fact that it swivels. It's a beautiful piece of equipment, and looks a good bit more modern than the more curvilinear A model. I'm very happy I waited for this one.

Set up was a snap. Took me about 2 minutes to connect the base. It took longer to remove the stickers. The manual is on a little USB drive that plugs in the side of the TV, but I haven't bothered with it yet.

The picture is stunning, right out of the box. Absolutely beautiful. Only adjustment I made was to turn the brightness down slightly, as I have a very dark TV room.

The on-screen graphics and menus are both intuitive and elegantly designed. I hate when the industrial design is carefully considered, and the on-screen UI is forgotten. That didn't happen here. Both are wonderful.

I somewhat skeptically connected my camera card reader to one of the USB plugs on the side, and inserted a memory card from my father's camera. He'd hoped to show us pictures, but didn't have a plan for how. Perfect timing, as the TV had arrived that day. The TV recognized the card, and very quickly we were watching pictures and video in high res on our new TV. Fantastic.

Less than perfect: the sound. Actually, it's a bit of joke. But, that doesn't effect my rating because I don't feel that the internal speakers are really meant to be used w/ a TV like this. I'm using a 5 channel surround system, but before I hooked it up, I heard the speakers. It makes sense that they wouldn't sound good since you can't even see them.

Also less than perfect was the delivery process via this company, CEVA/Eagle. Note that they claimed to have contacted me via email to set up delivery, but I never rec'd anything. They didn't call. So, I had to google them and call them. Plan for this! Stay on top of them. The driver called me no less than 4 times during the day, each time making up some goofy excuse for being even later. I think he was watching the NCAA tournament at a bar somewhere. But, in the end, it arrived 1 day late, and in perfect condition. So, I don't care. And, I can't take away a star from the TV due to the delivery service. I just think Amazon needs to communicate the process better with it's customers and make sure that CEVA does a better job too.

Anyway, Amazon's price is great, the TV is fabulous. Enjoy!

LN32B650 Better than 32" XBR9, April 12, 2009
By Isi Jr.

I got this TV a few days ago and i can honestly say that the picture looks like a million bucks. My brother has the Sony 32" XBR9 TV and this Samsung TV completely blows it away. For a better picture the TV has to be calibrated (by a pro or yourself using online manuals) and your blu-ray system as well.

I have this TV hooked up to my PS3 and my 360 and the picture looks amazing. The ability to have this TV connect to the net is a huge plus. You can check the Weather, News, and Stock Market info all with the push of a button.

Movies look great running at 1080p/24! If you want a TV with a superior picture then this is the TV for you!

Samsung LN52B750

Samsung LN52B750

52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color









Front

The front of the LN52B750 has the same clean, simple design as the other models Samsung announced this year, with a stand made of aluminum and glass. One difference is a change in the styling of the bottom part of the bezel, though; a clear space separates the screen itself from the speaker bar at the bottom.



Sides

The left side of the LN52B750 has no major features, but the right is the home to the side ports panel. The LN52B750 is slightly deeper than the high-end LED backlight models that Samsung has announced this year at about 2 to 3 inches thick, but it doesn't look or feel overweight.



Stand/Mount

The stand has the same styling as all of Samsung's 2009 line, with a large piece of aluminum forming the base plate, and a glass pillar holding up the main part of the screen. It's a very attractive look that makes the panel look rather like it is floating on air. Standard VESA mounting ports are located on the back of the LN52B750, and the entire stand can be removed for wall mounting.


Display Size & Technology

The panel in the LN52B750 is a 52-inch LCD panel that has a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. uses CCFL (Cold Cathode Florescent Light) backlights. Although we are seeing an increasing trend for LED backlights, that's restricted to the higher end models, and middle of the range models like this one are still using the older technology. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though; CCFLs are a proven technology.


Refresh Rate & Motion

The major upgrade that this model includes is the addition of a 240Hz refresh rate and an update to Samsung's Auto Motion Plus motion processing. The increase in the refresh rate (last year's models only did 120Hz) should mean smoother motion, as the screen is updated more often and the TV attempts to smooth out fast movement between frames that can cause juddering or jerky motion. We'll have to wait and see how effective this (and the update to the Auto Motion Plus) will be until we can get in a review unit, but the demos that Samsung were showing certainly looked promising.


Viewing Angle

We saw a wide viewing angle from the LN52B750; colors started fading out at about 30 to 40 degrees from straight on, but they were still pretty viewable at wider angles. We did see that the edges of the screen seemed to get brighter at more extreme angles, but this may be related to the pre-production nature of the display. Samsung also claims to have improved the front of the screen with the addition of a polarizing filter that helps to block reflections


Color

Samsung offers something called Wide Color Enhancer 3, which they claim matches the colors of the video source more accurately to the colors that the display can actually reproduce. Samsung claim that this means more accurate but vibrant colors, but we weren't able to test this feature at the show. An additional viewing mode called Natural is also present, which aims for color accuracy rather than the exaggerated colors that some modes produce.


Audio & Video Ports

We were not able to get access to the back of the LN52B750 to determine which ports were on offer, but we were able to ascertain that there should be 4 HDMI ports in total, plus a selection of analog inputs on the back. On the side of the LN52B750 are a selection of ports designed for devices that need to be plugged in and removed on a more regular basis, shown in the photo below. These are (from the top) a USB port, a HDMI port, an additional USB port, and a combination of composite video and analog audio inputs. Noticeably absent here is a headphone port.

Samsung UE40B7020

LED backlighting impresses
TV pictures enjoy great stability, generally low noise and notable depth of field. Motion is mostly smooth, colours are of the rich-but-not-too-vivid variety and black levels are impressive. The LED backlighting makes for a pitch-black screen when idling, with strong and convincing contrasts when not.
Up the quality to DVD and the good news keeps coming. Picture noise is suppressed mercilessly, colours – skin-tones especially – are agreeable and levels of black detail are a match for the best screens in this sector. Motion, too, is smooth and credible.
t's not without flaws: sound is no great shakes, being as it is fairly captive and predictably lightweight, and poorer-quality TV broadcasts are done no favours at all by the '7020. But overall this is a hugely impressive TV, doubly so considering it hardly exists in the third dimension at all.

LCD and plasma TV sales brighten retail picture

TV sales
Shelling out hundreds of dollars on a television is hardly wallet-friendly, but LCD and plasma sets have been flying off the shelves all year, with some retailers saying TV sales are better now than they were during the holiday season.
But there's also a recession twist: Some industry watchers say that people are upgrading their TVs because they're spending more time at home during the economic downturn.
"Consumers are increasingly using the home as a place to look for entertainment," said Riddhi Patel, an analyst at research firm ISuppli Corp. "And TV becomes the main medium. . . . People are saying instead of taking trips during the summer, they may as well stay at home and buy a TV."
Tight competition among retailers, both brick-and-mortar and online, has driven prices for some TV sets down sharply. Patel said flat-panel television prices in the first quarter were 23% lower on average compared with the same period last year.

Review LG 22LU5000 22inch LCD Television

This is a full high definition LCD television compact at only 22 Inches, but this level of definition may be wasted on such a small screen.

LG 22LU5000 22in LCD TV Review

LG 22LU5000 22in LCD TV

What's particularly great about the 22LU5000, though, is that it thoughtfully provides a high-tech excuse for a man to like it, in the form of a Full HD resolution. Yes, despite only having a 22in screen, LG has managed to squeeze 1,920 x 1,080 pixels into the 22LU5000, giving it a leg up over the 22LU4000 I looked at a couple of weeks ago, and making it the smallest Full HD screen I've seen. Wowza.


Awesome though this sounds on paper, I guess there's a pretty good argument to be made that having a Full HD resolution in a 22in screen is just an almighty waste of time. I mean, some 26in TVs struggle to convincingly show the relatively straightforward difference between HD and standard definition, so it's hard to believe that a 22in TV will be able to show the much finer difference between an HD Ready and Full HD picture.
