I currently own a samsung 40″ lcd…and i love the Tv. But as i read your reviews,i also seem to agree that on most samsungs,the sound just doesnt “cut it” so to speak. I quickly purchased a Samsung Sound bar,which is fantastic. Ive been looking at the new led that samsung is now promoting,but again ive heard issues with the tinny sound. Hopefully samsung can work out this minor problem,cause they do make a great looking tv.

I bought the new Samsung Luxia 6000 40in. LCD LED display and I’m a little concerned with the level of artifacts on non HD broadcasts. Anyone have any similar experience or suggestions? Good HD broadcasts are stunning, so I think it may be the signal. Still, I would like lower grade signals to be a little cleaner.
Also, does anyone have any experience with Samsung upgrading their software? I noticed they have an option to do so in the menu, just wondering if they ever do it?

i went thru 4 sets from bestbuy and all had a terrable buzzing noise coming from the back of the tv. it also has a very poor viewing angle. move left or right the picture washes out. also the led lights made it hard to get natural skin tones on the screen every persons face was to bright no matter what setting the tv was on or how i ajjusted the setting. my samsung 40a650 does not have any of these issues. i took the fourth set back and got the samsung ln46b750 , this set beats the led in every aspect. the blacks are better the white is not overly done and skin tones look natural. c.net also rated the 750b series better then the samsung edge lite led tv’s.

Bought my first LCD from Amazon and everything went perfect.Great price $1250.00,free shipping and no sales tax. The T.V. arrived ahead of the scheduled delivery date.The delivery guy was on time,and he opened the box to make sure it would power up. I had it set up on the stand and running within minutes.I was hoping for a little better picture with S.D. TV. I have Dish Network and thought the digital would be acceptable.Needless to say I ordered H.D. the next day, WOW!!
I love it,what a picture.I see no loss of picture quality when viewing from the side. Maybe a little lighter is all.

The UNB406000 arrived from Amazon in perfect condition and on time. Overall the TV provides outstanding performance; annoyed however, with the channel scan limitations.
Pro:
1.The UN40B6000 provides a great picture, stunning sharpness, excellent overall color. Excellent ATSC digital tuner, except for the user tool limitations (see cons).
2.Low power consumption. The load power measured about 65 watts or about 0.095 watts/square-inch for the 40 inch LED-lit screen. By contrast, my Samsung 61 inch DLP HDTV measured about 210 watts or about 0.132 watts/square-inch. Line voltage measured 122 volts at 60Hz. The measured values are from an APC 1300 UPS using the built-in digital load watt meter. The wattage in either case varies according to picture preference settings and scene to scene variation.
Con:
1.Unlike the other Samsung HDTV’s I have purchased in the past, the UN40B6000 will not easily combine TV channels from other cities or directions. I live between several cities. I do not have cable or subscription satellite service, only broadcast reception with an outside antenna oriented with a rotor. Every time I want to watch channels from a different direction the auto scan must be run; which first eliminates all previously stored channels. Re-aiming the antenna is quick; but to run the auto scan every time is absurd. Also, there is no method to manually add a real digital air channel should a broadcaster use a virtual channel of the same number. See http://www.dtv.gov/glossary_V.html for definition of a virtual channel.
2.The multimedia USB interface overall does work; however there are exceptions. All my NASA HD recordings, direct from the NASA C band channel on AMC 6, are recorded in mpg format to my PC’s hard drive. When transferred, none of these files played with the UN40B6000 USB interface, although they play without problems on my PC. Not too surprising, other mpg recordings do work without problems. I believe the difference is the specific mpeg decoder used to record the files to the hard drive.
3.No S-video input. It would be really nice to play my super VHS tapes with the an s-video connection.
4.The internet connection is useless. While the internet connection does work, accessing weather, stocks, news while watching TV is useless; obviously my opinion.
