Design

The Samsung UN40C6500 is a 40″ widescreen Full HDTV that is hardly visible when viewed from the side, thanks to a thickness of only 1.1″. The LED screen is enclosed in a black cabinet that uses Samsung’s Touch of Color technology and looks beautiful enough to be easily hung on your wall in any room of your house. The TV also comes with a stand in case you do want to keep it on a table, cabinet or TV stand. This piece of art looks good enough even when it is not turned on, but once it is then it simply displays video and pictures with so much clarity that it looks like you are viewing different masterpieces within one picture frame. At 1.1″ thick, it is anyway thinner than most picture frames. The Samsung UN40C6500 also has several ports and slots that are well-hidden when not in use.

Features

The Samsung UN40C6500 is loaded with enough features to make its salesman run out of breath. Its 120Hz technology presents life-like video even at high speeds, while its ridiculously high contrast ratio ensures high-clarity and never-before-seen sharpness. The AllShare facility allows you to connect wirelessly to your HDTV to display audio, video, music, and picture files from your computer or any other mobile device. It even connects to multiple PCs effortlessly. Another innovation is the merging of Internet connectivity within this TV. You can now watch videos on YouTube; play online games including Monopoly; stay in touch with loved ones through Facebook and Twitter; listen to Internet radio through Pandora; and even get the latest news including sports news through Associated Press, USA today, Yahoo News and Weather; and also shop at eBay and Amazon, among many other online activities. Imagine having all this fun on a true 40″ HDTV at 1080p. This piece of art disguised as a HDTV is also fully energy compliant and saves almost 50% more energy as compared to the Energy Star specifications, depending on the model. This model is available with a 1 year warranty on labor and parts.

“Purchased this for our living room and it is definitely worth it! :) The unit is working perfectly. Picture quality is excellent. We watched Avatar using the xBox360 as the player and the images were crisp and the small details were so visible, it was better than when we watched it on the big screen! Internet@TV feature is awesome, too. Love the AllShare and you should definitely consider buying the Samsung LinkStick with it. All in all, we’re loving the TV and the features. Movie night-ins would definitely be a date for us with this thing around! ;)” – Z.Aureolio (CA,USA)

Performance

With figures and terms such as a Mega Contrast Ratio of 5,000,000:1, Auto Motion Plus rate of 120Hz, HyperReal Engine, 40″ Widescreen, 1080p resolution, and Ultra Clear Panel, the result has to be visuals that sport real life-like colors and textures along with smooth clarity even at high speeds along with depth that makes this TV jump to life every time you turn it on. Sound is supplied via 2 x 10 Watt RMS speakers along with a woofer that are connected through genuine stereo sound capability.

The Wide Color Enhancer Plus technology incorporated in this model gives you rich and vibrant colors that seem to pop right out of the TV.

Bottom Line

The performance of this black beauty has to be seen to be believed since very few TVs can compete with this model in terms of features, compatibility and specifications. Sharpness and true life-like colors and textures are this TV’s strengths due to its high contrast ratio and high motion rate of 120Hz. Photos and video not only appear much more real but also move smoothly from one frame to another however fast the sequence. By throwing in Internet compatibility Samsung has almost erased the line between PC and TV while its superb looks ensure that the TV can turn into a piece of functional art when hung up on a wall. This TV can be yours for around $1700, which is very reasonable considering that it can do much more than any other HDTV. Overall, Samsung has surely managed to fit the Samsung UN40C6500 with the latest HDTV and PC technology in its sleek and thin brim.

• “The television has lots of options including the ability to not only set a sleep timer but is has a schedule timer that can be set to turn on to a particular channel and volume level. So I have it set to turn on M-F to my favorite morning channel with a preset volume that won’t jolt me out of a sound sleep. The television has effectively replaced my alarm clock. There are three turn on timers so I could set different times depending on the day of the week. The television has WiFi capabilities, but unfortunately, it requires a proprietary Samsung WiFi adapter which lists for $80. Other branded WiFi adapters will not work. Bummer. All in all, it is a great television but to be perfectly honest, I still spend more time watching my 56″ 5 year old DLP. I have no plans to replace the older set until it dies.” – C.Comar (USA)

• “This TV is great. No complaints with the product. I upgraded from a 1080i to this one and I can notice a big difference from the 1080i to the 1080p in the clarity and depth of color on the screen. I had a 1080i-32 inch Sharp and it was a nice flat screen TV but after doing research and reading reviews on the Samsung I chose to upgrade to this model. I am really glad I did because the picture, when watching high def shows, is much better than my old TV. I haven’t hooked my blu-ray player up yet and watched a blu-ray movie but I purchased an HDMI cable for it so I know it is going to be fantastic. My only problem was with the shippers Amazon used to deliver. (I chose the free shipping option). I won’t go into details since I have since returned to this product on their web page and they are no longer offering it until further notice (one of the reasons is their shipping method). Mine was delivered by CEVA (total nightmare). They don’t pinpoint the issue but my money is on the shippers and I feel good that they will take the effort to try and resolve the issue. Overall I really like my new TV and enjoy shopping at Amazon.” – J.Wilcox (USA)

• “Just got this machine and I love it. Setup was easy, internet connectivity worked like a charm and the picture is so real it even movies look like live TV. Speakers are not the best but a quick hook up to a real sound device solved that problem in about 5 minutes. I would have given it 5 stars except for the speakers. The menus are quick and intuitive and the remote is functional without a manual. The whole TV out of the box without the stand is very light and easy to maneuver. I mounted it on a wall mount, plugged it in, turned it on and was watching my Netflix in about 20 min, including packing up the trash.” – R.Waxler (USA)
