Low Price UN55B6000 55-Inch

Low Price UN55B6000 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV

Image Quality and Connectivity:

This Samsung UN55B6000 is excellent technology and priced to move. We've got it hooked up to a cable box (MOT DCT 6200) via the 1 component connection and the image is sharp and crispy and the colors are vivid and bright.

We have an older PC connected via the VGA connection and the 3.5mm mini audio connection. Internet browser windows come up real sharp in 1920x1280i resolution. Sidebar: I'm also using wi fi and wireless mouse and keyboard.

Hi-res images look fantastic. This TV was assembled with web-browsing and computing in mind (Net widget, USB, JPEG and mp3 friendly) and Samsung has nailed it.

Online Support and Configuring the Cable Box:

Initially, the cable box was sending 720x480i to the TV. Fortunately I was able to find forums online with posts from a Samsung HD Tech and a cable co. employee that outlined the solution -- turn off the cable box, hit the menu button (cable remote) and here you can select the higher (or different) resolution.

Additionally, the cable box required two power cycles for this (resolution) change to take effect but when it did I was viewing cable tv in 1920x1080i.

Using Samsung's P.Size (Picture) Button:

When watching cable programming broadcast in HD, the 16:9 (aspect ratio) mode looks the best to me. For standard definition programming the Wide-Fit mode stretches the image a bit to fill the screen.

I've noticed some adjusting is required when flipping between channels, for example, sometimes CNN ticker text is below the screen and other times the Fox Sports Net FSN graphic is a bit above the screen. Perhaps this issue is addressed in the screen-fit mode, I'm not sure yet, I'll have to mash a few more buttons. Overall, I give it 4.5 stars.

I got this Samsung UN55B6000 to replace a dead Sony KDL52W3000 that was just shy of 20 months old.
For the price, it came down to this or the 52XBR9. I took the Samsung cause the picture looked sharper at the store and while still smarting from a Sony reliability issue.
Once set up at home, I started to reconsider my choice. While the dark levels are definitly darker, the glossy screen is a nuissance during low lit scenes.
The bezel design is such that the speakers have nowhere to go but behind the TV which relies purely on the condition and distance of the wall behind it. Compared to the Sony, the sound coming out of this TV sucked.
Samsung defaults their screen with 95% contrast level. So there's not much room for increased contrasts if you ever need to. I believe this is how Samsung obtains their contrast advantage, raise it to max then cover it with a glossy screen.

The slim design also limits source input options. It comes with 4 HDMIs and only either a component or composite source. With the Sony I can connect all my sources redundantly so no need to boot up the power hungry receiver 100% of the time.
So if you hook up all your components into the TV via HDMI, the sound going into your A/V receiver depends on how well the TV can pass it through.Buy Samsung Un55b6000 Led Hdtv Lowest Price, Order Now! [Click Here!]

Cheap Samsung UN55B6000 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV

So far I have had this TV about 1 month and it is exactly what I expected. I bought it to replace a plasma TV I was sending back because it had too much glare from a nearby window. This TV has a little reflection but not the glare that the plasma had however the picture is still near plasma quality. I would definetly recommend this TV, especially for the price, which was around $400 less than anywhere else after a coupon code with Amazon.Buy Samsung Un55b6000 Led Hdtv Lowest Price, Order Now!

Top Review Samsung UN55B600 LED HDTV

Discount Samsung UN55B6000 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV

After only 3 weeks of owning this TV, the TV randomly shut off on its own while we were watching TV. Now the TV constantly just turns on and turns off (with no actual image being displayed on the screen). The only way to shut it off is to disconnect it from the main power source. Called Samsung and apparently it's an issue with the power supply, and they have to send a technician to repair. Turns out, this is a common issue with Samsung. I am not amused that after spending 2500$ on a brand new TV, it will need repair after only owning it for 3 weeks..

Lowest Price Samsung UN55B6000 LED HDTV

Buying Samsung UN55B6000 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV

Great TV and was going to purchase but the TOC Red personally looks terrible and is a distraction to me. Decided to go with the UN55B8000. A slightly techcially advanced set, 240Hz vs 120Hz refresh and 2 ms pixel response time vs 4ms. TOC on the 8000 is Gray/Clear which IMO looks much better.

Samsung UN55B6000 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV

This purchase was just so very simple we couldn't believe it. We are sold on shopping this new way for us. We absolutely love our TV. The men came in, took it out of the box, set it up and pluged it in to see if it worked and we were set to go. So simple. Also we couldn't believe the price. We did shop around to see what we wanted. Amazon can't be beat..
