Led Backlighting

[g217814]

I have a Samsung 950 and think its the best LCD TV out there. I researched the heck out of the newer TV's and this one just looked the best. The Plasma pushers on this site will tell you that LCD's can't come close to the black levels of a Plasma....I suspect they have never seen a properly tweaked LCD LED TV before. This TV has the deepest blacks I've ever seen even compared to the Pioneers Kuro's plus there is no chance of burn-in. The bottom line is choose whatever looks best to you.

Burn-in is a thing of the past. Some of the Samsung LCD"s do look amazing but I have only seen them on a showroom floor. I have yet to see one in a natural environment thats been properly calibrated.

How bad is the off angle viewing for this set? Out of every review I have read, this seems to be the one knock against it (well, this and some slight blooming). I already have a DLP so I'm used to this drawback already but really, is it THAT bad? Like, let's say I have my couch centered with the tv and 3 people are sitting, watching the tv. The 2 people on the ends aren't going to see a huge degradation in picture are they? With my dlp, the only way the picture seems to degrade is if I stand at the far corners of the room.

The off angle viewing is slightly worse than my 46" 630 series and that is where you will start to the blacks become grey. As far as sitting three peole in front of it side by side you won't see any difference. I don't have any problems with my theater setup, you can check out my photos to see that its a similar config to what you asking about only a bit wider.

Are you talking about a full black screen? Or otherwise? Please explain further.
I admit that Local dimming LED TV's are nice, but they do come with a price.
