Capable of incredible picture with good feed.

Amazing picture with good to excellent source when viewed straight on. Contrast and color washes out when more than about 20 degrees off axis from straight on and Auto Motion Plus fouls up sometimes with poorer feeds. It can produce judder, a red blurry ghost next to slow moving objects, and sometimes really bad background movement in panning scenery. Because of this it would be better if the remote allowed you to turn AMP on and off more easily. With good feeds, Auto Motion Plus is great and can dramatically enhance realism and clarty to the point of approaching 3D and looking so real you may think the actors can see you watching them.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, fantastic pic w/blue ray, amazingly realistic image
Cons: poor off-axis contrast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good TV
on March 19, 2011
Posted by: that1guyinutah
After doing tons of homework and weighing functionality against affordability, we finally decided upon this TV. It is absolutely spectacular in what it is designed to do. Obviously you get what you pay for. In this economy our family does not go out as much (to movies, etc) so we justified buying this huge TV. It was not a bad decision by any means, we really enjoy watching it. In fact, I can't believe we were ever content to watch anything else. Once you've seen a movie on this thing in 120 hz auto motion and all the other jargon, there is NO going back. That said, there are a couple of things that are somewhat annoying (as I said before, you get what you pay for), this TV, being LED edge lit, has problems with keeping up with fast action, especially in dark areas. There is ghosting that is almost distracting. Also, because the TV is not full array (a term I completely understand now) you get untrue and uneven blacks resulting in ghosting. Interestingly, when you watch an actors eyes in a dark scene in "smooth" mode, their eyes seems to move independant from the rest of their head. Difficult to explain, you have to see it - bottom line is it is distracting. Fortunately you can fine tune the auto motion and that problem goes away. Another annoying factor is that the ethernet connection would have you believe that it is all ready to hook up to the internet - or at very least be able to stream from a video server via ethernet. No, it does not. Apparently the only reason for the ethernet connection's existence is merely to download upgrades via internet. Who cares about that?! That's not a feature! That's like a car cigarette lighter with gold filament. Fortunately you can purchase media players that do this kind of thing and use the TV for what it is designed for - awesome movie viewing for the entire family. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, unbelievably sharp image
Cons: no internet ability at all other than sw upgrade
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very thin tv, very light. Looks great on the wall (see attached picture.) Only wish the tv had separate ports for composite and component since I have a wii and connect cable box through component for normal tv watching and HDMI for surround sound.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best TV I have ever owned!!!
on February 18, 2011
Posted by: ChuckDiesel939
Alright so the title says alot in itself, however I cant say it enough, this tv is great. I have always enjoyed Samsung's picture but was considering going with a 60" of another brand. I was talked into this; I dont really like talking about how something looked in a store as there is alot of signal degradation when looking at TV's side by side. The process of hooking the tv up was fairly simple; though finding the plug in for the power source was a bit challeging. I also wish there was maybe one more set of hook ups for component cables. The features are outstanding however in this day and age it would have been nice to already be set up for the net.
All I can say is your going to love watching your blu-ray movies on this tv; it will change the way you view them. My wife has said she doesnt know if she can go back to the theatre after watching HD TV and Blu Ray with this tv.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, looks great anywhere, makes friends jealous
I would recommend this to a friend!

Ghosting and frame skipping problems
on October 26, 2011
Posted by: Sllck360

Expertise:Intermediate
This is my second Samsung TV. My first was a 60hz 52" LCD that I bought about 3 years prior and had a good experience with, prompting me to buy another Samsung TV. My intension to upgrade to a more expensive and "better" 120hz model with this purchase. I was mistaken.
This model has problems to some extent with ghosting and frame skipping on nearly all programming. The problem varies in severity depending on the broadcast. It is barely noticeable with some programming, but with other programming, it can be so bad that I get nauseous.
Pros: Lightweight, stylish design
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung 55 6300 Series 1080p LED HDTV 2010 Model
on November 4, 2012

When I purchased my Samsung tv in February 2011, I invited everyone over to see it. I was so happy because it was my first expensive tv and it had a great picture. Now twenty months later I am extremely upset because it will not turn on and it makes this clicking sound. Of course the warranty is out . I see all of these great reviews from people who have had their tv three or four years and it still works. It's difficult for me to believe my tv was the only lemon.
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
