Samsung LN55A950 - Blu-ray Forum

Spyder-Dan · 10-31-2008, 07:21 PM

well after having my Samsung 58" pn58a650 for about 2 weeks i had to send it back it was a great hdtv but it was not meeting my expectations. so now i picked up the Samsung 55" ln55a950 and it blows (imho) ALL other tvs out of the water. i just saw Ironman and i felt like i was looking at all the action through a window. what i want to know is, "is there anything i should look out for?". i bought the 4 year protection plan for it but still i would like to hear from other owners of the same model; be it raving about it or b!&@#ing about it. thanks, Spyder-Dan

Spyder-Dan · 10-31-2008, 07:53 PM

give me a few days because i am sprouting roots re-discovering all my Blu-Rays at FULL 1080P w the amazing 120hz refresher rate

saprano · 10-31-2008, 07:54 PM

You like the 120hz? i cant watch movies in that framrate, to much of a soap opera look.

JasonR · 10-31-2008, 08:01 PM

It isn't 120Hz that does that, it is motion interpolation....

So um....yeah I live in that town, what's it called again? Yeah I'd love to come over sometime, what's the address? Noooo...I don't want to steal it from you, I promise. Would I lie about something like that?!

Awesome TV man. My tv is so old now.

I heard this TV had lots of problems with the Halo effect around the edges just like the 81 did last year. How much did this set you back and do you like the thickness of the TV?

I believe you can turn Interpolation on/off. The 120hz would allow two ways to playback 24p content, by creating(interpolating) four frames or by copying one frame five times.

A,A1,A2,A3,A4

or

AAAAA

36 months 0% is a good deal. Nice long time to pay that puppy off.

TooBlu · 10-31-2008, 08:38 PM

I had the brand new 8 Series...it had a blueish tint on the Side's of the screen..and i would also check and see if there are scratch's on the side's where the screws go...and the bezel... I had tons of marks over mine. I love the direct 24p mode! There is no "Flicker" or judder....I now have the Panasonic 800U

TooBlu · 10-31-2008, 08:40 PM

I did the same thing with all my Blu Rays.. Your going to love the direct 24p mode when watching your rays

5 G's for a TV? It's going to be obsolete by next spring. OLED, NEO and more advanced HDTV's will be hitting shelves soon. Better have a built in subservient Asian girl for that much scrilla.
