Great, solid TV.
I received this TV yesterday to add a TV for our bedroom. I own another Samsung LCD so I knew I would be happy with this one.
Since it was going into the bedroom, it didn’t need to be fancy or have all the bells and whistles. I figure I’ll add a Roku or Apple TV to it and be all set.
While this TV is LED, it’s not as thin as you’re used to seeing. I believe it’s just over three inches thick in the rear, but it has a very thin bezel up front. It has minimal connections in back, but all I’ll ever use is HDMI, so that doesn’t concern me. Picture quality out-of-the-box is great and became even nicer with a little tweaking. That’s usually the first thing I do is try to eyeball calibrate it at first. It’s too new to have any good calibration settings posted on the net; I figure I’ll use last year’s ‘D’ model as a guideline and wait until settings are posted. I did not notice any flash-lighting with this model — something that plagued last year’s ‘D’ lineup. I have yet to play any 1080p material on this to really test it (only watched a few minutes of HDTV ((720p)) broadcasts), so I’ll update this post when I do.
Note this year’s ‘EH’ line is Samsung’s basic model lineup, with the ‘ES’ being the more expensive, feature-laden models. This is a great set if you want a basic, quality LED with a nice pricepoint.
EDIT 3/5/2012: Update 1080p content. I’ve set up my streaming process to this TV with some 1080p material and it is gorgeous. We recently watched Toy Story on this set, and I was blown away by the color depth and detail this TV displayed. A small caveat: with all TVs, the speakers could use some improvement. Set on the ‘standard’ audio output, the sound is fine. If you set it to ‘music’ or ‘movie’, the audio sounds much better, but can rattle the TV’s enclosure if the volume is set high.
The 46″ Samsung I ordered came with a Samsung display panel, not the other random off-brand ones as mentioned by previous posters. Simply put; the image quality is AMAZING, even compared to my relatively new 47″ Westinghouse LCD panel. The blacks are so perfect that it looks like part of the screen is actually turned off, though it isn’t. If you don’t need wifi or all that nonsense I’d suggest picking one of these Samsung LED HDTVs over anything else. (I use it exclusively as a monitor.)
Also, I can connect my old-school video games to it and my state-of-the art PC for when I want to see how my presentations will look on a bigger screen. Unfortunately, they did not build-in an adapter for the refresh rate that Apple uses. If you’re planning to use your Mac with this, you’ll need to buy a much more expensive TV or a large digital monitor.
If you want the latest and greatest, you may want to pick a different model. However, this is about as close as they come to a standard TV these days.
