 Expectations Run High July 27, 2010

When you spend $1500 on a piece of technology you have certain assumptions and expectations about it. You do your research the best you can and hope that your purchase will be everything you hoped it would be. Occasionally, you are thrown for a loop and presented with some challenges that you didn't anticipate. That's what happened to me when I picked up this excellent TV. My old Sony LCD did not have HDMI ports, so I was relegated to the spaghetti bowl of component hookups to achieve high definition. I just had to have a TV with HDMI, so when I was finally in the market I knew it would have to be at least 46", LCD or something comparable, full 1080p, and have plenty of HDMI ports on it. With the exception of one small issue, this TV is everything I wanted.
I must say that the Samsung UN46C6500 LED TV is astonishing to look at. The colors are rich and saturated, black levels are the blackest I've ever seen, and the images are crisp and clear. The screen is a glossy finish, so it does reflect any light you might have in the room, but it's not overly distracting. The panel itself is super thin, only about one inch thick. The stand is very sturdy. Touch sensitive buttons line the lower right hand corner of the panel (kind of hard to see, but they're responsive). The bezel has a brushed matte charcoal grey strip covering a transparent acrylic (very elegant).
The one problem I have with this TV is not listed anywhere except inside the manual. I didn't see any other documentation or warnings about this, so I was a little disappointed when I encountered it. This TV is not compatible with HDMI versions older than 1.3. My old Onkyo receiver (TX-SR604) came with HDMI 1.1, so the TV would not display images through it. I had always thought that HDMI was backwards compatible. It's not on this TV, and the manual clearly says that if you have any components with HDMI versions older than 1.3 you may have issues with sound and video. Beware.
Because I was so disappointed that I would not be able to use HDMI through my receiver, I decided to upgrade to the Denon AVR-791 (which supports HDMI 1.4 and is 3D ready). Even though I'm another $500 poorer, I'm an extremely happy camper. Watching Avatar on blu-ray with this setup is truly amazing. The TV performs wonderfully and is otherwise exactly what I was wanting. I have not ventured into the internet TV features, but that's on the horizon. Unfortunately, the TV is not wifi compatible (unless you buy a USB adapter), so you'll need to use an ethernet cable (I actually knew this before buying).
Samsung makes incredible LCD and LED TV's. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high definition viewing experience. Hopefully, my review will educate and warn those with older components. HDMI is the way to go, but you can always fall back on component cables if you have to. That just wasn't an option for me. When all is said and done, I don't regret my purchase at all. The end result was well worth the journey.
 Excellent television! July 9, 2010

We did lots of research before finally deciding on this particular tv, and we could not be happier with our selection. The picture quality is outstanding. We are very happy with the LED edge lighting. It has a sensor to determine ambient light and adjusts the strength of the backlight accordingly, which should save a lot of electricity over the lifespan of the tv. The sound quality is decent, though I expect we'll be investing in a Surround Sound home theater system in the near future. Setup was very easy. All user interfaces are very intuitive. The user is able to make many, many adjustments to the picture, though to be honest we were anxious about messing things up so we left everything on the "Home" default setting. This tv integrated flawlessly with our Samsung Blu-Ray player allowing everything to be controlled with the tv remote. We also love that this tv is networked-- we use the Netflix and Pandora apps on a daily basis.
A major selling point of this tv for us was the aesthetics of the very slim design, and we were not disappointed. This unit is THIN! The graphite-colored frame around the LCD screen is also quite narrow, and a thin, clear acrylic band runs around the entire frame-- a classy touch that does not show up well in photos of the unit. We also are very happy with the stand. Its chromed X shape is different than most stands which are a flat black plastic pedestal, and we are very pleased with the way it looks.
Overall, an excellent tv, and we highly recommend it.
A note on the service from Amazon.com: We were initially a little reluctant to make such a large purchase from an online retailer. And our fears almost came true... the first unit shipped to us had a factory defect (the tv would forget all settings every time we turned it off, requiring us to go through the Plug-and-Play menu and channel scan every time we turned on the set... irritating! Samsung tech support was stumped by the problem, though they did offer to send a repairman out to take a look at it, which would be covered by the 1 year factory warranty). We declined Samsung's offer of the repairman, and called amazon.com customer support instead. They instantly recognized the problem, apologized for the inconvenience, and shipped a new set to us immediately. The delivery man dropped off the replacement set and took away the defective one at the same time. The new tv works great, and our customer experience with amazon could not have been any more positive!
I love this TV!!!!!!!!! June 20, 2010

I just purchased this TV today from BB. It replaced a 4 year panasonic plasma that I sold to a friend. Even though the colors are not quite as rich as the plasma, I love this TV. I really went back and forth between a new plasma and this TV and I am glad that I chose this model. The picture is so clear and the black levels are fine, they have several settings if you want them darker. Yes their are the usual uniformity issues but they are so slight and minor, it really is not that bad. Alot of people don't like the crows feet stand; I love it!! I love the the way it swivels and just the look of it. I can't believe I have a 46 inch TV in my bedroom. I never could have fit this in years ago. Once again, coming from a plasma, I am very pleased with this TV.
Beautiful Picture June 15, 2010

I bought this tv (46' inch, LED) at Amazon.com as I moved into my first home. I wanted the best tv I could find (without buying a 3D TV). I lucked out when this tv went on sale ($1,889 with $400 back in Amazon gift cards, net $1,489). I am hanging it on the wall and it looks spectacular. The colors are so true and the picture so crisp that people are amazed at what they see. The 120 mHz really changes how you watch shows although I have had some negative feedback from that standpoint. Some have said it makes all shows look like soap operas, although I think it's an improvement from the former 60 mHz tv's.
One other negative, if you turn the lights down in the room the tv actually adjusts to this and darkens the tv, something that I did not like during the NBA Finals. If you have a very dark room you might want to think about another tv, although maybe you can change the presets to offset this (I have not fiddled with these yet).
All in all it's an amazing tv and one well worth the money and I would definitely tell my friends to buy the same.
Nice TV...with a few subtle issues May 12, 2010

My first impression of this set is that it has good picture quality but rather poor sound. I did not expect much from the set in terms of sound due to its thin design. It should be noted that the 6400 is the same TV but without the Samsung Apps/Internet@TV feature and a different stand. I will say that I could certainly live without the Apps feature but it is nice to be able to stream my photos from Flickr without having to hook up my laptop or other computer. Weather is nice too. I also am not real excited about the stand. The 6400 has a square flat stand that you could place on top of a set top box or a small stand. The 6500 has a 4 footed prong type stand.
As far as TV performance, I will say that it is quite good. Colors aren't over saturated so as to look artificial. You may find that the box stores crank the brightness up in the store so the TV looks more appealing to shoppers. I found that many sets don't look nearly as good as they did on the ultra bright mode. This set however performs just as well in my preferred dimmer setting as it does bright. There are some annoyances such as pixelization and blotches in the dark scenes where there is motion. However, its hard to tell whether this is a by-product of broadcast companies, cable companies, and satellite companies compressing the heck out of HD signals or the TV itself. The TV performs admirably as well in standard definition broadcasts. LED vs LCD: well, if we are comparing apples to apples (using the same class of TV and same broadcast) I can't really tell that big of a difference. Longevity of the LED lighting technology is yet to be determined. I have no interest in a 3D set so I cannot compare this set to those as I never given them much more than a glance at the store. I will warn you, Samsung does have its customer service annoyances but hopefully you will never need them. I chose the 6500 with the Samsung Apps feature because I figured one day as more companies come on board with their apps there may be something useful. All in all it's no Pioneer Elite Kuro but its a good set for the price.
