101314 - By Brice S
101316 - ..
101317 - 1. This review is from: Samsung UN46ES6100 46-Inch 1080p
101318 - 120Hz Slim LED HDTV (Black) (Electronics) UN46ES6100 (but
101319 - this review could easily apply to the 40,50,55 and 60 inch
101320 - models) PLEASE READ!
101322 - ..
101323 - 2. Let me start off by stating that I am rating this pretty
101324 - much solely on the picture quality, ... the TV itself is
101325 - absolutely stunning when it comes to picture quality.
101327 - ..
101328 - 3. ...the Smart TV feature is garbage on this TV. Sadly
101329 - Samsung is aware that they drop the ball big time on
101330 - creating a good Smart TV.
101332 - ..
101333 - 4. You can turn off Automotion easily and it still delivers in
101334 - 120hz mode. This TV has a whooping 5,000,000:1 dynamic
101335 - contrast that completely delivers. The picture quality is
101336 - very crisp and colors are very vibrant (Actually to be
101337 - honest, out of the box it's too vibrant. You will have to
101338 - play around with it. Check the bottom of this post, I'll
101339 - supply a professionally calibrated configuration to help
101340 - some of you). HDTV looks great. Everything is so clear it
101341 - does almsot seem like there is no screen dividing you from
101342 - the movie. Blu-Rays on this is an experience all to
101343 - itself. So in conclusion for picture I give this a 10 out
101344 - of 10.
101346 - ..
101347 - 5. Sound is decent on this. It's not bad. It does have it's
101348 - moments with low end bass a little. Coarse my theory on
101349 - sound on a TV like this is, if you bought this TV your
101350 - probably like me and had some inkling that your future
101351 - foretold a certain sound system......maybe a nice sound
101352 - bar. So in conclusion for sound I give this 7 out of 10.
101353 - Very passable sound for sure.
101355 - ..
101356 - 6. These calibrations were done professionally by the guys at
101357 - lcdbuyingguide....(dotcom). They worked awesomely to get
101358 - my TV looking perfect.
101360 - ..
101361 - 7. Hope these calibrations help. So far I've used this
101362 - calibration and I've loved it. It's great because it works
101363 - on movies, sports, tv, blu-ray....you name it. The only
101364 - time I change them is when my living room gets really
101365 - really bright, then I just put it on standard for a little
101366 - while.
