Samsung UN40D6500 REVIEW # BEST PRICE: October 2011

Samsung UN40D6500 So far GREAT
I purchased this TV from Amazon a week ago and so far I am enjoying it very much. It is my 3rd LCD flat screen over almost as many years as they have been on the market. This is far better the one I purchased 2 years ago. The picture is outstanding, almost too good. Some people who watch it with me say it looks too real and not like a TV and shows detail you were not meant to see. I do not consider that a negative. The SMART TV variety of options including Samsung Apps are fairly good and extensive but sadly do not include Amazon which tempted me to knock the rating down to 4 stars. The set up and use of the apps and other features is not as intuitive as it could be and that probably does knock the rating down to 4 and half stars. Many of the Apps like with apple ipod you have to purchase, others claim to be free but after you connect you have to pay a fee.

The caveat being I have yet to connect a 3-D source or buy the glasses. So I can not review that aspect of the TV. The picture in 2-D is very 3-D as you truly get the illusion of depth because of the picture quality and you do not have to mess with glasses. I will soon take the 3-D plunge and hopefully amend this review to include that aspect.

But if you want a great picture in your bedroom, it is bright with tons of contrast and exceptionally sharp. It is quite glossy and those with light source issues may consider a less reflective TV to avoid reflected light on the screen.

I purchased this just after it came out and the price dropped today. I have every confidence that Amazon who always has treated me better than any other retailer will live up to the price reduction guarantee. Again I will attempt to follow up with this review and let everyone know how that price guarantee worked for me.

Additional information: Amazon informed me they have refunded the difference in price I paid and the current lower price on Amazon. I am so happy with Amazon for going beyond what any other retailer does.

Samsung UN40D6500 WOW - Get This Samsung LED
Pros:

Appearance:
From the get go, I pulled thing out of the box, and I was impressed on the thiness. Next I put it on the bezel stand and put it in our armoire and was completely awed at the cleaness and style.

Set Up:
was a breeze, got on my WiFi right away, updated the firmware and away we went.

Movies:
I hooked up my media PC to it, with over 400 HD movies I have, I ran at least 10 movies on it. First I went simple, TRON with Auto Motion is crisp and clean and lifelike I do not know how you go back to regular viewing ever again. Next I tried 3D and threw in How to Train Your Dragon, and it was so clear and clean and had such good depth perception I was totally impressed.

Color:
I have a Plasma TV Panasonic 42" and this Samsung LED kills it, it bar non has better color and clarity without a second thought.

Sound:
Very clean and very strong however it lacks bass to be expected with its thinness, but sounds great enough to fill a 15x15 room with sound.

Cons:

The stand:
comes out to far, its a nick pick but I wish at least in the front of it it was short so it didn't come out so far past the screen.

Auto Motion Stuttering:
I love, but if you are streaming, it will stutter every 20 sec or so if you don have a clean connection. Which I didnt, so I went out and bought a Netgear Powerline 500av and it fixed that issue
Found here on amazon( amazon.com/gp/product/B004DVEW8I ).
For those of you who do not know what Powerline is, its a way to extend your Ethernet connection through your power lines to any room in your house, my tv is down stairs, even though the WiFi is built in to the TV it was not strong enough to get 1080p without hiccups even on my Wireless N Router, due to interference most likely. I love auto motion, its the reason why I bought this TV.

Flashlights:
the term used to describe the LED light leaks in the corner of the screen in really black scenes, its not bad but its there.

Smart Hub\All Share:
has a long way to go, still to cluttered, most things cost money, and all share is a pain, your better off hooking a pc up and streaming from it, as all share does NOT play MKVs and has trouble with MP4s. It doesnt do a direct connect to it instead uses its folder structure and its a mess. Music and Pics all worked fine. All Share is not fluid and easy to set up as of yet.

BottomLine:

The TV software has some tweaks to really make it multimedia like most TVs are trying to pull off, and LED lighting issues are there but very small seems to be common however: this is a LED TV and it main purpose is for watching movies and video and I have a very nice plasma and I have seen the amazon show floor (called best buy) and looked at all kinds of LEDs and even Samsung very own 8000 series, and I still think this is the best of the line period, I am picking up a 55" soon of the 6500 to go in my media room, get this LED you will absolutely love it.

Samsung UN40D6500VF Absolutely great!!
I bought this TV last august the 4th, so it's a really recent purchase. The reasons why I decided to buy it were its size, resolution, and obviously the 3D capability. I didn't think too much about it before, but let me warn you, this TV is FAR BEYOND that. This is an absolutely ultimate technology device, and this why I say it:

1. The size of the screen is incredible when it comes the time to play games. I have a PlayStation 3 connected to the TV through an HDMI cable, and the colors, resolution, and overall performance of the TV are really out of this world. If you play games in an Full HD widescreen you can really see much more detail than in other TVs, no matter how big they are, which is great if you play Fifa or combat planes related games.

2. To watch a movie, this is like having a real cinema in your own home. We have been watching some BD movies on the TV, and it delivers a detail I hadn't seen before, except in the theaters. The colors are crisp, vivid and real: The black is really black, not a dark gray like on other screens, so the contrast is really, really good.

3. Fortunatelly for us, the TV came with its own 3D glasses set included (2 units), and let me tell you, the 3D experience of this TV is better than the one you can enjoy in your nearest theater, or at least the same, since you're closer to the source. I didn't have to buy a separate Blu-Ray Player since the PlayStation 3 has this feature included, and it also reproduces 3D content (if you didn't know this, now you do). We enjoyed to see "MegaMind" in 3D in our own home... and it was faaar better than watching it on a theater. I couldn't believe it. I tried this with a 3D powered game like Gran Turismo 5, and pfff... I don't really have words to describe it. It's almost like driving in a real race. Now, to the previous buyer who said that the TV in 2D is almost 3D: I seriously suggest you to buy the glasses and try with a 3D BD. The TV is great in 2D, but in 3D, the word would far beyond "awesome". When you try it in 3D, you'll notice there is a huge, huge diference.

4. If you have a laptop, you'll find very interesting that you can connect it to the TV through any of their 4 HDMI ports, and get a great screen to do some work, watch some videos or photographs with your family and friends, or fool around the Internet.

The cons:

5. When it comes to the smart part, I think this part could have been a little bit better. I don't know how Samsung didn't think in a more intuitive keyboard or a different way to allow users to connect a physical keyboard to the TV (maybe there is a solution out there so I'll have to investigate further, but I think this part can be improved). Maybe this is the only con of the TV, but since its primary function is not this (you can have a computer for that), I will still give it five stars.

I absolutely recommend this item if you're thinking to buy it.

Samsung UN40D6500VFXZA AMAZING TV!
I play cod black ops on 3d on this tv and its simply just amazing! This tv has a lot of features but there is one really bad annoying problem. when the tv is on and the screen is black you would notice a lot white patches all over the tv, it sometimes get really annoying when watching movies. anyways i thing this is still the best 40 inch 3d tv there is.
