i do recommend this product to everybody.it is one of a kind.it is great in everyway.
There are many other settings for fine-tuning the picture, like black-level adjustment, noise reduction, etc., but I've left most of those at their default 'auto' setting or off. It works with any HDMI source. contrast 90. The main reason for why I chose this TV over all others was that it was THE one large-screen Television set that made a perfect fit within the bounds of the family entertainment enclosure.
They were quite surprised, as you would imagine. I ordered this set for my family last Christmas of 2007 and set it up one evening with my sister while the folks were out. The 120hz works just as advertised. which is fine, since all A/V sources are routed through an excellent Yamaha RX-V661 receiver unit (would never buy any other brand of receiver) and to the Samsung via HDMI.
color 50. brightness 45. I am, as of this writing, killing time and waiting for my Oppo 983H player to arrive so that I can fire up my first movie on it and check that the screen has no problems. When they came home that night - boom. This means you can watch virtually anything with interpolation. Situating it in the shelf, minus the stand, I discovered how close a call it was - hardly more than 1/4" to spare on every side. Picture quality is excellent and bright. Coming close to a year old, this set has been a solid performer and I've never had a reason to regret my decision.
Technology is great. Setting the Mode to 'Movie' seemed to magically make the picture not look like it was being lit by LEDs. tint 50/50. This is an LED back-lit set, you must realize, and if you ever look at an LED light next to an incandescent bulb, you realize the color tone is 'cool' or blueish compared with the warmer feel of traditional lighting.
The top actually rests against the mount pins for the shelf above it, which was perfect, since now having no stand to hold it upright, it would have otherwise fallen in backward. backlight 6. There are lesser reasons of course - Samsung's renowned picture quality and construction, the sleek, straight-forward and jet black design, as well as the ability to use 120hz interpolating. Stardust HD looks amazing. I have it off by default, though, since the feature causes motion to look unnaturally smooth and tends to attract attention to itself, but it is fun to turn it on sometimes for the 'wow' factor and if you are watching the right thing it really can be spectacular (Documentaries, Sports, high speed action sequences in movies, etc). We don't own the Matrix, but I can imagine how liquid smooth the 'bullet-time' scene would appear.
Come to think of it, every screen we've bought in the last few years has been Samsung, including my latest acquisition - a 61" Samsung DLP Television. sharpness 20. I've never seen any artifacting or ghosting, as some others have reported. The most important setting of all for me, though, was the Mode. This was especially evident this past Christmas when I drove by a house using LED Christmas lights (if I ever needed a reason NOT to buy them, that was it). And when I fired up Blue Planet HD for them, the 'wow' factor was just so evident in the air that it took some effort to keep from grinning. color tone normal. Some of the key settings of my set are as follows:.
Their measly old 19" CRT had vanished and in it's place was just a blackness, filling the main cavity of our entertainment cabinet - 40 inches, to be exact. (when it works) The Samsung at it's Default settings, gives off this same blueish look that I don't find terribly appealing. Like my title states, it couldn't have been a more perfect fit.
The good:. - The LCD tv even with 120MHz is not very good in reproducing fast moving games. For best sports viewing, check plasma out. - The Samsung remote is a turnoff.
Its angle of acceptance is very less and often hampers user experience. The issues:. I also use JVC & SONY TVs.
Comes with good tunable options. This affects me every day and would not have purchased this product if I have known before. - PC/MAC connection works awesome with 1080p resolution.
- The HD picture quality is good. i ended up moving this to bedroom and purchased a old CRT 36inch for watching sports. I have purchased this from AMAZON and I am somewhat disappointed by the overall experience primarily by the remote control.
I have had the 4069FX for over 6 months now. But the sound I get out of them is still superb. They face downward off the TV. I keep the 120hz feature off as it makes everything look like a home video. I even utilize 900mhz wireless headphones on it and sound remains great. It eliminated any glare that may come through the windows or certain lighting. I have an x-box and a wii hooked up to it and all play flawlessly. Though I am sure you will find it fun to play with at times.
The only thing I could think of changing about the TV is the placement of the speakers. I love the matte finish. I have tweeked the settings a little but I find my picture better than anything I am seeing new in stores now. Anyways, this was a purchase that I have not regretted and I highly recommend it.
The set will stretch them to 16:9 but the result, for me, is ugly. We called Samsung for warranty service. Also, I recommend leaving the SD 4:3 ratio pictures in their native form. They replaced a "t-com"(sp).
Some of the SD channels tend to the muddy side but we haven't played with setting them up a lot. It does take a while - 10 or 15 minutes, it seems - to warm up for best pic quality. It took the service company about 10 days to acknowledge the service request (I had to call them to ask when service would be rendered), another few days for the set to be picked up. A second service call was arranged and after another month, the set is back, apparently repaired this time. The bad: shortly after we got it, the set developed an intermittent condition where the left half of the screen was slightly less contrasty than the right half making it appear there was a line down the middle (but there was, in fact, no line). How else to explain that certain digital channels are being rewound as we watch them.
It could be cured by turning off and turning back on. And, through some quirk of the cable service, we can receive some apparent on-demand or pay per view offerings that neighbors may be subscribing to. The audio is clean and full-sounding. Have (mostly) enjoyed the 4069 unit since it arrived last November.
So far, I don't detect any motion artifacts like ghosting or image trails. Be nice when you deal with their customer reps is my best advice. The movie will get to a certain point, then rewind back to the "good part".
I realized it should be serviced because the condition could only get worse. Auto-tuning takes too long as others have posted (about 20 minutes). Cable company says it has no idea how this happens and I'm not pursuing it with them. They held it for more than a month and returned it but the problem had not been repaired. board the first time and the entire LCD panel the second.
What's really scary is that there are no strict guides (at least here in Maryland) on how many tries the mfr get to repair before they must replace the set. All of the above negatives notwithstanding, the set was worth the price which is now much lower than when we bought last fall. There are some rather exotic tastes in the neighborhood. But the display is generally excellent, especially on the 16:9 digital channels. But after it's done, we can receive digital signals via the Comcast cable without a cable box.
You are at their mercy entirely.
