With sharper images and brighter colours, TV will never be the same

There can be only one thinnest, clearest, most elegant television. Easily, it is Samsung's LED TV Series 6. Breathtakingly thin, it's designed as one seamless piece of flawless crystal. On its LED screen, vivid details are captured in every frame. Picture edge-blur removed and full, robust colour restored to each pixel. Watch television programs, web content or your own, knowing you're also being kind to the environment. It's a remarkable feat of design, on or off.

For images that are stunningly true-to-life you need the 3 Cs: contrast, color and clarity. LED TV Series 6 has them. Its Mega Dynamic Contrast feature brings out all the shades of grey. A Wide Colour Enhancer Plus with LED gamut ensures every entire pixel is robust and vibrant. This enables the TV to display a wider range of natural colours and provide greater depth, even with subtle colours. Plus our 100Hz Motion Plus technology removes edge-blur, leaving your picture smooth and crisp. And your jaw, dropped.

Unlike other "slim" televisions, LED TV Series 6 is one of the slimmest televisions in the world. Instead of multiple parts molded together, it's one solid, seamless, incredibly beautiful advanced television. Elegantly supported by a unique crystal neck, you'll have no trouble finding a place for it in any room.

With its impressive multimedia capabilities, Samsung LED TVs open up more worlds than you can possibly imagine. Take our exclusive InternetTV technology for instance. It connects to the Internet so you can enjoy all the amazing content the Web has to offer. Not to mention Anynet+ which lets you control all your AV devices with a single remote.

Freeview HD

With the emergence of Freeview HD, Samsung now has the capability to show you these channels. You will now be able to experience a whole range of entertainment in HD with no subscription and no contract.

Full HD 1080P

Anyone can say they have the clearest picture. But only Full HD 1080p has twice the detail and twice the resolution of regular HDTV. It delivers dazzlingly, rich colour and vivid details. And even corrects the errors from standard definition content. It's definitely not your father's HD.

All Share keeps you connected

Samsung HDTV takes the struggle out of sharing your talent with the world, or at least with your family. Transfer your videos, music and photos from your PC or mobile device. Wirelessly and effortlessly. It even connects with multiple PCs. Who said you need connections to get on TV?

Connect Share Movie

There’s no excuse anymore for leaving all those great digital pictures and videos in your cameras. All you need with the Samsung HDTV is a USB connection cord. Just plug it in then instantly play. It even works for your music collection. So now anytime is showtime.

Ultra Clear Panel

Utilising enhanced black expression with low haze by optimising the light’s phase and increasing the transparency ratio in ultra clear panel, the new Samsung full HD TVs can reduce reflection of out light and increase contrast.

This TV doesn’t settle for less than perfect

A picture that’s smooth and clear doesn’t always magically appear. That’s why many of our latest HDTVs are equipped with a digital noise filter. When you have a less-than-perfect picture in a poor reception area, this filter reduces the analog noise created during transmission, reproducing clear images, sharp details, and bringing images back to their original beauty.

Wide Colour Enhancer Plus

The challenge of any TV screen is to recreate reality through colour and light. We met this challenge with our Wide Colour Enhancer Plus feature. After analysing each pixel, it stretches them to their 3-dimensional limit. What you get is the fullest, most lifelike colours you've ever seen on a TV.

More real than reality with HyperReal Engine

Your mind won’t believe your eyes. That’s how breathtakingly stunning the picture quality you get with Samsung’s HyperReal engine is. Enabled by Super 3C Realization, the picture is as unrivalled as it is unbelievable. This way, you’re never just watching a movie, you’re living it. Every moment will ring truer, go deeper, feel stronger, look richer. Hard to believe when you’re on your couch.

Crystal TV™ design

Samsung Crystal TV refers to subtle changes in the product's design. The beauty of nature lies in its ever-changing form, colour and light. New materials offer a never-seen-before TV that captures the essence of natural beauty through natural light, styles and tones which constantly appear to change with the viewing angle. Samsung Crystal TV bezel is not made up solely of one colour pigment, it is a sophisticated combination of multiple colours which produces a seamless, natural gradation.

Inspired by nature, designed with style

Samsung continues to be inspired by the beauty found in nature and our latest HDTVs reflect that. Each of our series represent different elements found in nature—Metallic Sensation, Mystic Earth, Stone Black, Rhythmic Lines, and Sierra. And the understated tones change depending on the viewing angle and environment. Skillfully sculpted and ultra-slim, our new Samsung HDTVs are the essence of beauty.

Light controlling, energy saving

Samsung HDTVs are easy on the planet — and on your eyes. Our unique Eco Sensor measures the intensity of the room’s light and automatically calibrates the brightness of the image on the screen. In a brightly lit environment, the picture brightness grows even brighter, and in dim surroundings, brightness is reduced. So now you’re not wasting energy on a bright screen when it isn’t needed. Enjoy the best picture possible with a TV that’s aware of its surroundings.

Planet First

Samsung is committed to provide consumers better green experiences through innovative technology, design and processes. So you can put your feet up and relax knowing you're leaving a smaller carbon footprint.

Fantastic LED TV5
This Samsung UE40C6510 model 6000 series is a neat TV. I got the 40" model and its absolutely stunning. I was a bit concerned about the white colour and was thinking of the black or brown model (UE40C6530 and UE40C6540). They are all identical in specification other than the colour. Surprisingly the white one, which is stunning to look at, is around 100 pounds cheaper than the other two colours. Its got a wood trim look, so it looks kind of cool and retro. Please have a look at the images I have uploaded. Ordered it through Amazon and got it delivered in 2 days. But please note that the price for this TV keeps on fluctuating,.. I will come to more of this at the end of my review.

Unpacking the TV and assembling it with all the inputs was relatively easy. The only part I felt a bit of work needed to be done, was lifting the TV onto its stand. For this you would need 2 people to do it easily. Also please note that while screwing the TV onto its stand, start from the below two screws and then move up.

Set-top box connection went to the first HDMI port. My set top box is still SD, not HD, and I was amazed by the quality. Simply awesome when compared to my friends 40"-42" LCD/Plasma TV's. This LED one is definitely worth the extra £200 in terms of clarity and less ghosting or pixelation.

Connected my Blueray on HDMI-2, DVD on the scart adaptor and my Nintendo Wii on the AV adaptor. WOW ..!! What fantastic clarity ! The light blue sky on the screen while watching movies, actually even looked better than the real sky. ! LOL. Its that stunning. AWESOME !

I have connected a dummy RF cable on the antenna slot and left the other end unconnected. With that, I've now got 95 channels (TV + Radio + Data). Nice quality as well, but some are scrambled signal :)

Internet TV: Got this configured in under 5 minutes with all the samsung apps installed. I tested youtube and the other usual apps. All are decent enough, though nothing great to write about.

DLNA: The setup is pretty easy. Just google it to find how you can set your Vista or Windows 7 to act as a DLNA server. You would then get a pop-up saying that the TV40C6000 is trying to connect to your machine. Say yes, and the setting is done. On the TV, choose Source option on the remote, and you would see your machine name-user name listed there. Just click on that and surf your local disk and play whatever video or photo images you want to. That simple (if you get the hang of it) !

And finally, the USB connection. I connected my Samsung 500GB external HDD, and instant access to all my old movie collection. Plays avi, mkv, asf, mp4, 3gpp etc. As of now it doesn't support AVCHD and thats a drawback as my HD camera records video in this format.

Now the price, there seems to be some problem with amazon where the price ranges from 760 to 709 as of 30-Aug-2010. It seems they are following the price of the other retailer Hughes Direct. If you find that you bought it at a higher price and the price has dropped, dont worry, just give amazon a call and they will price match it to the lower price straight away. Real helpful guys. I got around 30 pounds off after I had placed the order, so can you !
