Astonishing Picture

Posted20 January 2013
I would recommend this to a friend!
"I bought this tv with trepidation, as it was a serious financial investment, however my fears were groundless, the set is everything I had hoped for and more. When I looked for a new television I felt that 3D was a gimmick and one with a short shelf-life, however the ES6900 had everything else I was looking for at that price, it had a far higher contrast ratio to the rest of the ES6000 range with much deeper blacks so went ahead and ordered it. However, I discovered that 3D is NO gimmick, at not on the Samsung ES range, I was blown away with the quality and effect.
Moving on to the 2D picture quality, I had at first problems with a 'washed out' and grey background appearance to everything no matter the quality of the content, HD, Blu Ray or SD, all the same until I found the GAMMA settings in advanced options, once I'd dialled it down to -3 omg, the 'cloud' effect had disappeared and I was left with an incredible photo-like image. Of all the tv's on the market for 2012 this has the best with an incredible 14K contrast ratio.
Oh and btw, if you don't want that 'daytime soap' look turn off Auto Motion Plus which is really only for very fast sporting events.
The blacks are amongst the deepest I have ever seen on a television while the whites the brightest, however expect to play around with the settings as the factory standard leaves a lot to be desired but don't be frightened, it is easy to adjust the settings to your preference.
So in retrospect, a wonderful tv with amazing picture quality, fantastic 3D, vibrant but natural colour and above all reasonably priced.
"
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, amazing picture quality, dts pass-through, plays all my blu ray rips
Cons: gamma set far too high owner need to dial it down

AWESOME!!!

"This is the second finest television set I have ever set eyes on; fantastically sharp, drool inducing colours and razor sharp images... and that's before you switch it on! That is when the euphoric joy begins. If you imagine waking up up in the 24th century, this is the TV that should be on the wall. The vibrant colours and the Crisp HD performance combining to produce a portal into TV land where you literally feel like the actors are in the room with you. Combined with a decent sound bar/system (for obvious reasons - how thin?). The experience is like mainlining pure uncut entertainment. You just can't take your eyes off it. Hypnotic perfection. I will be leaving the same review of the 55 inch 8000 series that I have also purchased, except that the 55 inch, by comparison, is THE finest TV that I have ever seen and incredibly, its even more impressive!!!"
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, utterly beautiful
Cons: i haven't retired yet!

Awesome TV screen, terrible software

Posted06 July 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"The TV screen is fabulous, and films viewed on this TV look eerily realistic. The 3D works brilliantly. And it is a beautiful object that will look good in any sitting room.
However, this TV is sold at a significant premium, largely thanks to its smart-TV functionality and that is where this TV fails. My first impression was good as I was able to access Netflix on the pre-installed app with ease. However, doing anything else is a nightmare. The web-browser is unusable. iPlayer fails to work requiring me to install firmware, but the update firmware option is disabled. The voice control switches itself on for any reason yet struggles to understand most voice commands. The face recognition and hand-gesture recognition simply do not work.
Samsung should probably stick to hardware and outsource the software to Google, Neflix or other Silicon Valley shop. Still, the picture quality is just brilliant, so the TV deserves 4 stars."
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: software
