Samsung UN55B6000The first thing to understand about LED TVs is that they are actually LCD TV that are backlit with LEDs. You still aren’t going to get true blacks and whites without getting a heavy and power sucking plasma. That being said, the picture is amazing! We’ve owned several LCDs and plasmas, and this is an outstanding product.
In my house, we don’t particulary care for the Auto Motion while watching TV shows. For games and sports, it’s great, but it seems almost unnatural while watching some shows. We bought this model because we knew that we weren’t going to use the 240 Hz Auto Motion anyway.
I have a few things to point out about this TV though.
First, the power cord is incredibly short (At least the one we received from Amazon Warehouse Deals, it was.). This is a very important thing to know if you are mounting on the wall or above a fireplace that doesn’t have a highly mounted power outlet.
Second, there is only one speaker, and it is in the back of the TV. This isn’t particularly a problem for us because we use an A/V receiver, but don’t expect the TV’s audio to sound good on its own. Another thing concerning audio, is that it does not have Audio Out so that you can plug your components (DirectTV, XBOX, Blue Ray, Computer…) into the TV and have the audio be sent out to a stereo.
BE PREPARED TO BUY AN A/V RECEIVER.
