Samsung UN55B6000 HDTV Thread - Blu-ray Forum

Ray_Blue_Ray · 01-28-2010, 10:26 PM

I'm thinking of buying the Samsung UN55B6000 HDTV. What is the "Flashlight effect" that some people say this tv does?

Also clouding issues???

Please post a picture of these problems. I don't know what it looks like.

No. Please don't. If I see one more picture or read any more literature about how to recognize flaws in a home theater setup it will take my OCD to an entirely unacceptable level and I fear my wife will stab me in the eye with a pitchfork....

lol

Thanks dude, just don't read this post and you'll be fine.

Please let me know I can't see it in the stores. Flashlight effect?????? Someone should post a video of this on youtube or pictures or something before I buy this.

durring dark scenes mostly in the corners youll see like some light being shown thats very obvious isnt suppose to be there..

ive seen some pics of several 6/7000 with horrendous light bleeding thru with my 6000 the only time i see it is when im switching between my components from cable to my ps3 because the screen goes blank momentarily but its hardly anything with mine and i still love the picture it produces, my fathers 8000 has it a little more worse than i do tho

I have some flashlighting effect on my tv but I hardly notice it except in very dark scenes of a movie and its not enough for me to really pay attention to it. Alot of LCD's have this issue some are bad and some not bad.

so i bought it for $1059.00 from buydig.com they had a special coupon code that got it down to that price (at the time of this posting the site is sold out).

after about an hour of searching, reading, watching reviews i pulled the trigger.

Anyone have comments on this tv good or bad? (besides the flashlight effect)

I have the 40" 6000. Best TV I have ever owned. Very energy efficient. I recommend calibrating for best picture. I used settings found on CNET. I use MOVIE for movies and STANDARD for TV.

Great price by the way. Enjoy.

It's a good tv. You'll enjoy it (I was going to get the 46" version until I found the 46" XBR9 at a price I couldn't resist).

SeanMF · 05-31-2010, 06:36 PM

I have that exact tv in my bedroom. No flashlighting issues. Calibration I think helps with that a ton. Great tv especially at that price.

Congrats on the new TV. I just upgraded myself this month (see signature).
