Jean, Ayr

+ Best television picture I have ever seen. Incredibly slim and looks great. Lots of options for tweaking to get a picture you're happy with. (Best to turn backlight down to 5 as factory settings very bright and hurt your eyes.)

- Requires 2 people to fit onto stand.

+ Unbelievable picture quality, no comparison with lcd tvs, depth of field, colours, contracts will blow you away, life like picture quality which gives you the impression that your watching a 3d picture.
Connecting cameras and various other devices is a dodle via the usb connection, easy to use tv, all the controls and menus make perfect sense. Don't waste your money on lesser tv's, well workth the extra money.

- Sonund quality is poor, but not an issue as i use a surround sound system

Chris, Stoke-on-Trent

+ Easy installation and setup. Much lighter to handle than standard LCD sets. Auto-install and User menu easy to use. Excellent looking TV and brilliant picture with the LED backlight - black is really black compared with normal LCD fluorescent backlit sets. Full HD picture is amazing.

- Sound quality is lacking fullness and bass, compared with other makes e.g. Sony. 'Tru-surround' feature is not very effective. This does not bother me particularly since I switch off the sound and use a home cinema surround sound system.

+ Extremely slim and light, so quick and easy to hang if you also purchase the Samsung WMN1000B Ultra Slim Wall Mount

- Not over impressed by the sound quality, may also need to invest in surround sound equipment.

Simon, Essex , “Sports and games fan” More like this »

+ Product is excellent the picture quality is great and to get the best from it we have SkyHD. I recommend you spend time setting it up and reading the instructions and the Samsung on-line team are very helpful if you need further assistance.

- Only bad point which we already knew from reviews is the sound quality. Watching any normal TV programme is fine for what you need in your living room, but recommend a surround sound for movies and Sport to get the best from the TV. The 7 series is all you need if you are not interested with linking directly up to the internet as series 8 9 can be matched with series 7 so don't rush out to buy the most expensive one!!

Peter, Cheltenham

+ Absolutely stunning colours and brightness from the TV, blows the old LCD and plasmas out of the water.

- Does have a small issue with nearly all black screens i.e. credits, where white appears grey. This is annoying but at the same time, any screen that's nearly all black doesn't have much to see, and so the issue doesnt affect any images that look impressive

Anatoli Krassavine, Banbury , “Film and documentary lover” More like this »

+ 1. Exceptional picture quality and colour depth. The best picture quality from comparable mass-market products (even Panasonic). I have given it 9/10 for image quality simply because better professional products exist (but they are £1000s more expensive). 2. Extremely slim and light - hangs on a wall like a picture frame 3. Slick beautiful design - a pleasure to look at even when not switched on

- 1. Sound quality is indifferent. This is hardly surprising given how thin the TV profile is (there is simply no space for decent speakers). The retailer site honestly described this, so there were no surprises - the TV was bought as part of a Home Cinema with dedicated external amplifier/speakers, so it is permanently set to Mute. 2. The mounting points are non-standard (both layout and type of screws used) - be aware of this when choosing a mounting bracket. Nothing which cannot be fixed with a power drill and a set of custom screws purchased at the nearest B&Q

Manufacturer's Description

There can be only one thinnest, clearest, most elegant television. Easily, it is Samsung’s LED TV Series 6. Breathtakingly thin, it’s designed as one seamless piece of flawless crystal. On its LED screen, vivid details are captured in every frame. Picture edge-blur removed and full, robust colour restored to each pixel. Watch television programs, web content or your own, knowing you’re also being kind to the environment. It’s a remarkable feat of design, on or off.

Picture Perfect
For images that are stunningly true to life you need the 3 Cs: contrast, colour and clarity. LED TV Series 6 has them. Its Mega Contrast Ratio feature brings out all the shades of grey. A Wide Colour Enhancer Pro with LED gamut ensures every entire pixel is robust and vibrant. This enables the TV to display a wider range of natural colours and provide greater depth. Even with subtle colours. Plus our 100Hz Motion Plus technology removes edge-blur. Leaving your picture smooth and crisp. And your jaw, dropped.

Depth without depth
It takes only one screw to mount the astonishingly slim LED TV Series 6. Just like a picture frame. Only this frame is made with a hint of amber. We call it a Crystal Design. One look at it and its soft, square corners is all it takes to see that this isn’t just a TV you’re hanging. But a work of art.

Unlike other “slim” televisions, LED TV Series 6 is one of the slimmest television in the world. Instead of multiple parts molded together, it’s one solid, seamless, incredibly beautiful advanced television. Elegantly supported by a unique crystal neck. You’ll have no trouble finding a place for it in any room.

Green works in any room
The LED TV Series 6 is easy on the planet as well as the eyes. Its recyclable bezel frame contains no VOCs. And by using mercury-free LED lights that require less energy, less CO2 is emitted. So you can put your feet up and relax knowing you’re leaving a smaller carbon footprint.

Your audience awaits
There’s no excuse anymore for leaving all those great digital pictures and videos in your cameras. All you need with the LED TV Series 6 is USB 2.0 movie connection cord. Just plug it in then instantly, play, save or delete. It even works for your music collection. So now anytime is showtime.

Eco Flower
Conserving energy is up to everyone. The Eco Label awarded LED TV Series 6 is made with eco-friendly materials and cuts down on energy use. So not only will movies look better, utility bills will too.

4HDMI
If there’s an easier way to get HD video and pictures onto the LED TV Series 6 we’d like to know. All it takes is one single HDMI cord and images are transferred without data loss or headaches.
