Samsung 46B6000 46inch LED TV
Jan 14th, 2010 | By SimonTo thoroughly test the UN46B6000, I sat myself in front of the TV for hours upon hours with various inputs: cable TV, digital OTA, Blu-ray via HDMI and PC via HDMI. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it. When considering a purchase of this magnitude, it’s absolutely imperative that you judge all reviews with a grain of salt. There’s really no way for you to tell whether or not the TV is worth your investment by a few pictures. Do yourself a favour and visit your local brick and mortar store and stand in front of the TV for twenty minutes. Find the remote and play with the settings. If you can’t do that or would like to narrow your choices, let me show you a handful of pictures and videos of the TV in action!
I’ll start with the viewing angle. There is no claim as to what the viewing angle for the LED TV Series 6 and while it doesn’t appear to be 178 degrees, the average household need not worry. I would guess the angle is closer to the 150/160 range. I was still able to get good contrast at obtuse angles but the picture does tend to fade together.
Here are some pictures of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen:
Watching random HDTV over-the-air:
Something to consider when viewing HDTV is that it may not be formatted for widescreen. If that’s the case the correct aspect ratio needs to be applied or faces will look skewed. The options include: Wide Fit, 4:3 and 16:9.
It wouldn’t be out of the question to use the 46″ TV as a permanent monitor replacement; the 1080p resolution is definitely good enough for that. The LED backlight makes it pretty easy to read text of any color.
Good thorough review. However, I have a consistent problem with Media Play disconnecting after a few seconds to a few minutes. Many Internet forums report this for both Mac (I have an iMac) and PC-based systems, many brands of wireless servers (mine is Airport), wired, wireless, and combination networks, and many server software packages, including Samsung’s PC Share Manager (I use EyeConnect).
Any references to problem cause and/or solutions will be much appreciated. Thanks,
Jim Key
