Samsung UN60H6350 60-Inch 1080p 120Hz Smart LED TV

When this TV arrived (and it’s so freakin’ big I had to go buy a new table for it), I was at first mystified by how strange the picture quality is. The resolution and contrast are even better than I expected, but the first Blu-Ray disk I put in was “Fellowship of the Ring”, and for some reason, it looked more like the hideous high frame rate video of “The Hobbit”, not the 24 frame per second film look of the LOTR movies. And indeed, at the top of the screen, the frame rate was shown as 60p, which is to me a bit unusual, given the 24fps source material. Unlike the Sony Bravia I’m replacing, there’s no way to control the frame rate directly, and among the reviews here on Amazon, I couldn’t find any way to get rid of this artificial motion blur-less look that I find so very wrong.

Finally on the Samsung site I found there’s a setting called Auto Motion Plus on one of the sub-menus. The TV actually tries to create “in-between frames”, to achieve an actual (though crappy) 60 frames per second picture. The default setting is Auto. Since I don’t see it mentioned here, it horrifies me to think that probably everyone who owns this TV is operating it with Auto Motion Plus, because it really is the Death of Cinema. But I beg you, unless you only watch sports, heed my words and run, don’t walk, to this menu setting.

Gave this TV 5 stars because it is phenomenal!

I received my product in 2 days with Amazon Prime so shipping was right on time like promised. The factory settings on the TV are decent but you can make the picture look EXCELLENT if you tweak the settings to your liking. The picture is crisp and clear, making anything you watch way more enjoyable. The sound is also exceptional! It has the potential to be very loud if you put it on the “Amplify” setting which is located in your menu settings, and the speakers are in the back for those of you who are wondering.

As for the reviews about the apps not working, I did not have this problem. It seems that a lot of those reviews occurred awhile ago so they might have fixed that problem they were having. I turned the TV on and there was an update & everything works perfectly fine!

As for gaming, this TV is the best you can get at this price and anything below it. The input lag is 88ms but when you put it on PC mode it reduces the input lag to 44ms. If you don’t know what input lag is, that is the half second delay when you’re playing a first person shooter when you move your character. Input lag throws your game off and literally makes you worse than you really are ha-ha. For those wanting to know how to put it on PC mode, all you have to do is switch the input to the HDMI port you plugged your console in and when you select it you have to click tools on your remote. When you click tools on your remote, click edit name and then you should see where it says “PC.” Click on that and BOOM, no more input lag and your video games run flawlessly. You really only need to do this if you’re playing first person shooters though because you can’t tell the difference on any other game really unless you’re a gamer who has never seen sunlight.

I did a lot of research on this TV, so I tried including everything I was concerned about to assist others in making their purchase. To be honest, this is a great TV in my opinion. It is an affordable price, and the picture is beautiful!

P.S. For those of you who are looking to mount this TV as well, the VESA on the back is 200 x 200. It was very difficult for me to find that online so I hope I helped you out 🙂
