60ex700 - great picture and features nice sharp x-gen panel

I got my 60ex700 yesterday and I am really happy with it. It is a great TV. There was a little flashlighting and uniformity is not perfect but it seems you can tune it quite a bit. There are an amazing amount of settings and I have it set to be more than acceptable for me. Great price on a great TV. Contrast is great with deep blacks and white whites. The motionflow is great also.



Furthermore the sound is acceptable for normal viewing and much better than I expected due to all the people dissing it. I have a nice theater 5.1 setup but I don't want to use that for everything and the sony sound is just fine.



Netflix and internet stuff is great the remote is fine. This technology is getting so good we are really picking nits at this point. I just hope it is engineered to be reliable and long lasting because I intend on having this in my living room for the next 6-10 years.



I am sure you can spend a lot more and buy a better TV with better picture quality but for this price... killer TV.



The only downside is the TV is so damn thin and light that I feel nervous holding the bezel when I have to put in the inputs. It is solidly built but it just looks so fragile.More detail ...

Very Impressive. Samsung showing style and performance.

First off I have had an 40" Samsung for 3 years and have been very pleased with it. It has a matte screen so that is what I was looking for. I really didn't want any glare so I actually was looking at LG's since they are one of few companies that make 50"+ lcds with matte screens. CNET reviewed the LG's with high marks as well so I was pretty much dead set on an LG.



So I went to Fry's Bestbuy HHgregg and local TV shop just checking out the products. I definitely liked the pictures of the LG's. The colors are on par with the Samsungs and the washout from off angles is also better. But I couldn't get over the simple fact that the Samsungs just looked better. Every store I went to I was like yeah there's glare but when the screen is fully lit you don't really see it plus you know we all were used to CRT glass screens for years. The LG technically had deeper blacks but in reality the matte refraction light made the screen seem more grayish and the glossy screens appeared to have deeper blacks due to clarity. Also the clarity of the images in the Samsungs was noticeably better. Just one of those things you just see and say yeah that's better. For a final look I brought my wife for her opinion and she point right to the Samsung as the better picture.



So as a matte finish fan and all the technical abilities of the LG's I had to go with the Samsung. Beyond the amazing picture the style is so much better. So thin lighter and the UN55c6500 has a great thin border actually charcoal matte with a nice clear trim. Looks so clean.



I've read where some people have said that the picture is so good that it almost looks 3d. I have to agree playing some video games and bluray the picture is so good it does almost look 3d.



I also got the wireless dongle (free with purchase) and it works quite easily. No issue thus far.



There definitely are reflections but glare isn't really too bad. I also did see the rainbow effect from my ceiling lights but only if in direct view. The motion plus still makes everything look soap opera but being able to turn it down helps a lot. Samsung has more settings for this than LG's.



I am very pleased with this buy.More detail ...

The Nicest TV Right Now

This TV is absolutely stunning. I was actually waiting for the C9000 to come out but that TV's price is way over the limit. I found out that this TV which is the next step down and actually has the exact same technology as the C9000 minus the touchscreen remote (which can be bought seperately) and the slim profile not a big deal considering the TV already looks beautiful and is half the price or less then a C9000!



In all honesty I think this TV has one of the nicest pictures I've ever seen. One example is the pin-point dimming which has garnered a lot of criticsm and skeptisism. I have seen the production TV model live and I must tell you I think it's better then local-dimming and I'll tell you why... Unless there is a new panel that is made to fix the local-dimming "halo affect" this is currently the only way to get outradgeous contrast levels without that problem. The pin-point dimming on this TV dramatically lowers the dark spots on the screen in certain area's without a halo affect and actually goes completely pitch black when watching movies with dark screens just like a local-dimming TV. I think this TV actually excels at the dimming part over a local-dimming TV because it creates supurb black levels without any halo affects. That's a huge deal for me. Next is the color accuracy of this panel I think the whites and colors on this TV are probably better then I've ever seen. Sure Plasma's can sometimes have better color temperatures but they will not pop out of the screen with ambience like this TV shows. This TV is sharp looking and beautiful and it displays wonderful 3D and High-definition like never before.



Last but not least... this tv is LOADED with features easily making it one of the most feature rich TV's there is on the market. It's completely wireless has 4-hdmi conenctions has internet applications and streaming capabilities and best yet it does it well! I have done a lot of research and have compared this TV with it's newest competitors and this one is it. Don't just take my word for it go see it for yourselves and you'll just see what I am talking about.More detail ...
