Description: 55" 1080p LED Backlit LCD Television (super thin)
Reviewer: Robert Wiley
Date: Fall 2010
Price Considerations: At $1999 at online authorized retailers, this the 55C6300 costs $200 to $300 less than the 55C6500 which has full Internet connectivity. That's the only difference in the two. So you will need to decide how important Internet connectivity is to you. It's still not inexpensive but this is a good price point in the 55" LED category. This TV has the newest LED backlighting, a super thin depth, sleek good looks, but does not contain 3D capability.
For any film or broadcast TV non-sports based material start by turning off the 120Hz rate feature as follows: Click Menu/picture/Scroll down to Picture Options/Press enter/Scroll down to AutoMotionPlus 240Hz/Press Enter/Scroll or press to Off position. It is important to turn this feature off (see more on this feature under features section below).
Color saturation is a strength of these new LED backlit Samsung LCDs. Colors are super vibrant even if on the unrealistic side at times. It's what our society (maybe not so much purists) likes these days. On rare occasions there is some over saturation within blacks.
Black Level/Contrast: With color information both light and dark appearing so deeply saturated, contrast effect is excellent. Blacks appear inky and sometimes lose dark shadow detail. White light sometimes is distractingly too bright.
Contrast degrades at around 45 degrees off axis which is a slight improvement over last years model and average for an LED backlit LCD. An eyeball estimate of the decrease in contrast is around 20% (this is impossible to actually measure.) One positive is that contrast does not degrade more as the viewing angle widens past this initial 45 degrees.
