Samsung HDTV Reviews

The smallest representative of the B650 series from Samsung, Samsung LN32B650 displays decent image quality and great connectivity options. It also offers the ability to access web streaming content, which is less encountered in models of this caliber. Samsung LN32B650, although it does not sport a large screen, is still able of offering a great watching experience. This 32 inch LCD TV is gifted by the manufacturer with competitive dejudder processing and color decoding, which makes it a very good deal for someone that desires a mid range HDTV with all the perks in place.

Samsung PN50B550 is not a high end product, but it still can offer plenty of features to satisfy the needs of a customer searching for a reliable mid range plasma TV. Despite the fact that this Samsung plasma TV does not feature extras such as DNLA or internet options, its overall performance offers a good deal for the money spent on its acquisition. As a 50 inch plasma TV, Samsung PN50B550 should be on a best buys list, because its price is reasonable, while image quality is competitive. It belongs to the 5 series from Samsung and it is not on par with the more expensive 650, or 850 series, but it is still a good product, worth of a second look.

Samsung surely knew what they were doing when launching on the market the medium range B650 series of LCD TVs. Samsung LN55B650 is one of the greatest representatives of this series (and the one with the biggest screen size), and it sports all its good and bad points. On the good side, Samsung LN55B650 is capable of rendering excellent image quality, it offers access to good web streaming content, and its connectivity options are nothing but solid for a product in this range. Its only minuses consist of the price tag that comes attached to it, the blue tinge marring the darker scene, and the fact that the 120Hz refresh rate doesn’t seem to do much, except maybe adding a little more to the spec list, and the cost, as well.

Among the 240Hz generation of LCD TVs, Samsung LN52B750 shines like a diamond in the rough, as its amount of new features, and solid connectivity options are recommendations in themselves. The B750 series from Samsung was clearly designed to take the LCD technology one step ahead, as well as one step closer to the plasma counterparts sold on the market. Samsung may not be there just yet, but it is clearly on the right path with this particular model, that offers a lot for consumers, even if the price may need to back down a little, in order to become affordable for the large audience. Some drawbacks still mar an almost perfect experience, especially since image quality is concerned, as it will be explained later in this Samsung LN52B750 review.

LCD TV manufacturers, in their aim of conquering the market, are making models of different sizes. Not everybody needs a huge screen HDTV, and that is why smaller models, such as Samsung LN37B650, are perfect for smaller rooms, where you just want to watch your favorite shows. This 37 inch LCD TV, although little, is a very powerful piece of equipment. If we mention that it has no less than 4 HDMI ports and 2 USB ports, as well as great colors and access to web streaming services, we may just be able to convince you this is the LCD TV you want to buy.

While Panasonic has strived for quality and design, Samsung has not acted as unaffected. Through its Samsung PN58B850, the company intended to offer the buyer the one plasma TV considered to be the coolest looking product ever released in 2009. This Samsung plasma TV has more than just looks, and taking a look at its specs and its performance will surely tip the balance towards it. If you intend to buy a 58 inch plasma TV, this particular model has everything needed to determine you at least to evaluate it and compare it with other models. You should know, however, that about the only thing that puts the difference in price between a Samsung B650 model and this B850 model, is the awesome 1.2 inch frame design. Everything else – performance and features – is pretty much the same.

For a 46 inch LCD TV model, Samsung LN46B650 can be considered one of the best in its size category. It has 120Hz refresh rate, which makes it a little more than older models of LCD TV, and it also comes equipped with some great perks, like web streaming content, that makes it raise its head over other competitors. It is worth mentioning that Samsung LN46B650 has great connectivity options, including 4 HDMI outputs, and 2 USB ports. Besides that, the image quality is rather good, with only a few drawbacks overall.

The high tech appearance the company has set up for this 50 inch plasma TV is the main feature that differentiate Samsung PN50B850 from the products coming from the 650 series. It will cost you more to acquire this gorgeous HDTV, and this difference in price is only justified by the company’s investment in the 1.2 inches thick frame. However, the most fashionable individuals with the money to go around will appreciate this aspect, even though this Samsung plasma TV has a little less extras than the 860 models from the same manufacturer. Just comparing Samsung PN50B850 with the 650 series, we can easily see that the image quality and performance are on par, which are nothing short of excellent.

Samsung LN40B650 does not have such a big screen, but it does have other qualities that recommend it. First, it is part of the B650 series, and that is why it shares all the good points the series have. These include a very reliable connectivity, great colors, and access to video streaming options that make from Samsung LN40B650 a very good 40 inch LCD TV, rising over its competitors in the same price range. Being a newer type of LCD TV, it has 120Hz refresh rate, and, although it is not on par with 240Hz models, the difference given by this particular trait are not that visible to justify a bigger spending.

Samsung PN58B860 is an expensive product, and, as a luxury plasma model, its price reflects all that the company has invested in its making, performance, looks, and extras. Large screen HDTVs, like this 58 inch plasma TV, are usually aimed at an audience willing to spend loads of cash. Here are some aspects that qualify this Samsung plasma TV as one of the best released in 2009. Its overall performance is great, even though just a tad over previous series, the colors are extremely accurate, and the sleek design is guaranteed to have everybody glue their eyes to it, attracted by its design.

While it is only but the smallest representative of the series, Samsung LN40B750 can prove to be a very good choice for someone desiring an LCD TV with great perks, but with a smaller screen, in order to reduce expenses, or simply because a smaller quantity of screen inches is on the wish list. It has 240Hz, a wide array of web streaming options, a very reduced response time, and a superior dynamic contrast ratio. You may not feel that comfortable with it, if you are going to watch TV in a room that is brightly lit, as some reflections are prone to appear, but the bottom line is that Samsung LN40B750 is a great option, if you can afford it.

With the 850/860 series, Samsung aimed at producing the most gorgeous looking plasma TV released on the market in 2009. The direct opponent of Samsung PN50B860 is represented by the models in the V10 series from Panasonic, and the battle is held not only in terms of performance, but also in terms of astonishing design. This 50 inch plasma TV shares about the same level of performance as the 650 series, the main aspect lifting it over the mid range product being the luxurious design. This Samsung plasma TV has a sleek look, very thin and elegant, ready to compete with the one sheet of glass design from Panasonic.

Samsung UN46B8500 and UN46B8000 have a 240Hz video processing refresh rate, unlike the remainder of the company’s edge-lit line, which retains a 120Hz rate. The fact is, that most users won’t see any noticeable difference in the processing rate when compared side by side. The company’s edge-lit LED LCD TVs, the B6000, B7000, and B8000 series differ from the B8500 series because the latter is equipped with localized dimming and manages to produce deeper blacks. Even so, the B8000 series, including UN46B8000, is quite capable of competing with the best HDTVs out there.

The general opinion about Samsung PN58B650 is that it comes appointed with about everything you look for in a plasma TV, if you intend to stick to image quality and you are not all that crazy about having a HDTV with the latest looks. This Panasonic plasma TV is gifted with the Touch of Color design, but, otherwise, its appearance is not on par with that granted by the company for the more expensive B850 & B860 series. Samsung PN58B650 performs well in many areas, such as black levels, color accuracy, video processing, and it does come appointed with extras such as Internet@TV and Wide Color Enhancer 3.

Samsung has forged into the LED LCD market with more confidence in 2009, introducing its line of edge-lit LED LCD TVs, the B6000, B7000, and B8000 series. The company also recently released its first LED LCD TV line with localized dimming, the B8500 series. The UN55B8000 is part of the LED edge backlit series, and though unlike UN55B8500 with its localized dimming, it does not produce the deepest black levels, it is still one of the LCD TVs with very deep blacks. Aside from that it benefits from the same color accuracy as most Samsung HDTV models, being a solid choice for those looking for a high end LED LCD with good performance.

Samsung PN50B650 is part of the mid to high-end series that has many good points. The best part of this 50 inch plasma TV is that it already comes equipped with all the features of the previous series, and something more. It may not share the same sleek design as the more advanced series, PN B850 and PN B860, but if you’re in for performance, rather than looks, there is hardly any reason for you to spend more on the newer models, than on this Samsung PN50B650 plasma TV. It is worth mentioning that its price is considerably less expensive considering the picture quality.

Samsung UN55B85000 has grabbed the crown of best 55 inch LCD TV on the market, even though its off-angle viewing could be better. Only Pioneer Kuro plasma outperforms the UN55B8500 in picture quality. Samsung’s B6000, B7000, and B8000 models can’t quite touch the quality of the UN55B8500 because its LED backlighting is based on localized dimming LEDs arranged throughout the screen. It also has an abundance of interactive features as well, including Yahoo widgets and built-in content.

While Pioneer’s Kuro is still the best HDTV out there, if you can find it, the new Samsung UN46B8500 is easily the best 46 inch LCD out there, despite its poor off-angle viewing. Samsung’s ultra-thin LED-based LCDs have been released throughout the year and have garnered a lot of attention. The company’s 6000, 7000, and 8000 models, are all solid sets, but the most recently release, the UN46B8500, has snagged the top spot for best LCD TV on the market for the moment. This model differs from the other LED sets in that its LED backlighting is not arranged along the edge of the screens. It is instead equipped with local dimming LEDs arranged throughout the screen, which doesn’t affect its slim build. And with plenty of interactive features plugged into the UN46B8500 as well, this LCD has plenty to love.

For those considering buying a larger HDTV, Samsung PN58A650 with all its 58 inches may be just the right choice. Even if some say that the image it sports cannot quite keep up with the quality of other counterparts, there are many things about this model, including its very good picture quality that can determine you to make a buy. The area where some say it does perform below other products from the same range is its black levels, but its vivid, accurate colors make up for this inferiority. Another thing that can be held against this model from Samsung A650 series is its only average anti-glare capability, but all in all, its anti burn in features, the fact that it is good value for the money spent on it, and the variety of connectivity options recommend it. A good argument that stays by Samsung PN58A650 side are the many praises it gets from customers, and the flattery received on many websites specialized in HDTV reviews.
