Final Thoughts

The UE46D8000 is truly stunning to look at but what most consumers are interested in is how the panel performs.

Well this set in its 40 inch and 55 inch model sizes were both tested over at Which Magazine and they were both labelled with a BEST BUY moniker.
They quoted that along with excellent 2D and 3D picture quality the sets delivered good internet features plus HDD recording via the built-in HD Freeview tuners direct to an external harddrive.

Ok there was a few issues with sound quality, but this is found on most LED TVs due to there thin form factor.

Had they reviewed the UE46D8000 I am sure they would have come to a similar conclusion.

Samsung UE46D6530 Review

Tom — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 15:44:48 +0000

To bring 46 inches of glorious 3DTV into your home there is arguably no better option than the Samsung UE46D6530.

Note: Model numbers.
The model reviewed can be found at the Comet, Littlewoods and Amazon with the model number Samsung UE46D6530WKXXU.

Samsung was one of the first firms to start making 3D TVs and therefore it has had time to enhance the technology and make it even more essential for 2011.

Super fast refresh rate for enhanced viewing

The first essential feature for an active 3D TV of this size is a decent refresh rate.

Sub-par refresh rates can mean that during 3D playback the image can become blurred or muddled, spoiling the experience.

Thankfully the Samsung UE46D6530 has an effective refresh rate of 400Hz, which is more than enough to make 2D viewing smooth and perfect for delivering cinematic 3D playback which will make your investment seem worth every penny.

Built-in 2D to 3D converter on the UE46D6530

You will need to buy 3D active shutter glasses to view the 3D effects on the Samsung UE46D6530 as they were intended.

However, even if you do not own a 3D ready Blu Ray player or any 3D movies you can start using the TV’s 3D functionality as soon as you start it up.

This is thanks to the intelligent 2D to 3D processing which will automatically add depth to standard 2D video in real time.
This can turn your existing movie collection and even high def TV broadcasts into visually impressive 3D before your very eyes.

Smart TV will appeal to all the family

While 3D will be at the top of the list of assets for the Samsung UE46D6530 this is far from a one trick pony.

This set is part of Samsung’s Smart LED TV family, which basically denotes the fact that it is web enabled and has the widest selection of content available to view on any platform to date.

With a built in Wi-Fi adapter you do not even need to find an Ethernet cable that will reach your living room and once you have the Samsung UE46D6530 connected to your broadband service the entertainment world will be your oyster.

Built-in applications covering on demand video from YouTube and BBC iPlayer come as standard.

If you have a subscription with LOVEFiLM you can stream movies to your TV rather than waiting for them to arrive on DVD.

Social TV connects to your Facebook and Twitter accounts

If you like to socialise online but do not want to reach for your laptop each time you have something to say then the built in Twitter and Facebook functions will keep you contented.

Meanwhile this is one of the few LED TVs to actually have a full web browser built into it.
This means you can search and view virtually any website in existence.

Final Thoughts

The 3D playback and the web features make the Samsung UE46D6530 one tough LED TV to beat.

Its 46 inch screen is expansive, its styling is impeccable and the LED backlighting will enhance visual performance no matter what you are watching.

If you crave the authentic cinematic experience then this is one of the contemporary big boys that should work its way into your heart.

Samsung UE46D5520R / UE46D5520 Review

Tom — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 15:04:54 +0000

The Samsung UE46D5520 represents the gold standard for what modern LED TVs should be able to offer.

As well as featuring Freeview HD for subscription free high def telly, it has a wealth of online features made available thanks to the market leading Smart TV platform exclusive to Samsung sets.

Note: Model Numbers Explained
The model UE46D5520 reviewed here is available at various retailers but may have different model numbers shown on the LED TV’s in their store floor rooms or on their websites.

UE46D5520 – Dixons, 1staudiovisual, Currys, John Lewis
UE46D5520R – Amazon, Comet, Debenhams
UE46D5520RKXXU – Argos, Directtvs

Watch the action on a 46 inch Full HD Panel

The Samsung UE46D5520 is not a LED TV designed to boast about its features on the outside.
Its 46 inch LCD panel is definitely on the large side, featuring a 1080p full HD resolution and a 100Hz refresh rate to ensure that fast moving video is not impacted by blurred, watery onscreen reproduction.

Whether you are watching a Blu Ray movie or viewing free to air HD broadcasts the Samsung UE46D5520 will perform well and even non-HD sources can be brought up to scratch thanks to its advanced image processing technology.

The UE46D5520 interacts online with special apps designed by Samsung

The thing that will keep you coming back to the Samsung UE46D5520 is its Smart TV functionality.

Once you have linked it to your home internet service via Ethernet or Wi-Fi dongle, the latter of which can be purchased separately, you can browse and ineract with a whole host of Samsung TV Apps.

Please note that the UE46D5520 does not feature the fully interactive web browser that is available on its high end models.

The Smart TV service extends into apps which can be added to the library of programs on the Samsung UE46D5520.

You can catch up with the past seven days of TV using the BBC iPlayer app, look at funny clips and music videos with the YouTube app, update your mates on your life with the Facebook app and even send messages out to your followers using the Twitter app.

Samsung is adding more and more apps to the service as time passes so the Smart TV capabilities of the Samsung UE46D5520 will continue to improve, making it a good long term investment.

If you are not going to use the Smart TV options straight away then there is plenty more to like about the Samsung UE46D5520.

Connects to virtually all your home entertainment equipment via USB and HDMI

It has four HDMI inputs, two USB ports and plenty of other connections for the various home entertainment devices you will have around the home.

You can add a digital camera or camcorder to the mix, connect your games console and view Blu Ray movies, all without filling up the available inputs and then having to mess around with wires around the back of the screen.

Final Thoughts

Despite the long list of features found on this TV it is by no means a bulky machine.

The LED backlighting means that it is only three centimetres thick and while it is an edge lit display there is no problem with inconsistent illumination as can be found on less capable LED TVs.

In short the Samsung UE46D5520 is a great option for someone who is looking for a future-proof LED TV without the desire to pay extra for 3D playback.

Samsung UE46D5000 / UE46D5000PWXXU Review

Tom — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 16:17:45 +0000

In the past choosing a 46 inch TV meant getting a bulky, cumbersome set which might not really live up to the promise of providing a cinematic level of viewing quality.

Thanks to LED TV technology there are now sets like the Samsung UE46D5000 on the market which are considerably slimmer, lighter and more energy efficient than their predecessors while upping the ante when it comes to on-screen picture quality and performance-enhancing extras.

Note: Model Numbers Explained
The model reviewed here is available at various retailers but may have different model numbers shown on the LED TV’s in their store floor rooms or on their websites.

UE46D5000 – Dixons, 1staudiovisual, Currys, John Lewis
UE46D5000PWXXU – Comet, Laskys, Amazon, Woolworths

Minimalistic styling that would look good when hung on any wall

The Samsung UE46D5000 has the same build quality and external styling as a number of other contemporary models from this manufacturer.
From the front it is a simple rectangle with no curves or soft edges to hamper its minimalist design.

The thin strip of clear plastic which surrounds the black bezel is the only quirk on show and so it should not put off those who are looking for something simple to fit into an uncluttered living space.

46 inch panel with enough on-board tech for a super picture

The 46 inch screen size means that a 1080p full HD resolution is essential, which is precisely what the Samsung UE46D5000 LED TV has as standard.

Samsung’s Wide Colour Enhancer is onboard which takes a very thorough approach to bringing the picture to life.
Each individual pixel and hue is analysed and presented in a way that will seem natural, with a particular emphasis on putting a real degree of polish on high definition content.

The LED backlighting goes hand in hand with this feature, not only promoting rich colours but also offering deep blacks and well defined whites with a contrast ratio that would not have been attainable on LCD panels in the past.

Built-in Freeview, 4 HDMI ports plus USB connectivity on the UE46D5000

The Samsung UE46D5000 has a Freeview digital TV tuner built into it so you can discard your standalone set top box.

It also has four HDMI inputs to keep all your HD devices connected at the same time for easy switching.
Like a number of its rivals the Samsung UE46D5000 has a USB port on hand to help you share your digital photographs and home videos with ease on the big screen.

It is compatible with a variety of video file types so you can quickly transfer clips onto a USB drive from your computer and make the most of them on the big screen.

Lower your carbon footprint in these cost saving times

Samsung is keen to emphasise the green credentials of all of its LED TVs and the Samsung UE46D5000 is no different in this department.

If you are upgrading from an older LCD TV then it could be up to 40 per cent more energy efficient, reducing bills and cutting your carbon footprint.

The built in sensor to determine the ambient lighting in the room and thus adjust backlight intensity and other settings appropriately is just one aspect of this eco-friendly approach to entertainment.

Final Thoughts

If a plasma screen will be too bulky and a smaller TV just will not do, try out the 46 inch Samsung UE46D5000 and see why many people keep going back to this firm time after time.
It may be an entry level LED TV but it ensures you get a lot for your money.

If you are not bothered with having the latest online widget connectivity that feature heavily in upper range models then this telly offers outstanding quality at a knock down price.

Sony KDL46NX713U LED 3D TV Review

Tom — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 13:28:09 +0000

The Sony KDL46NX713U is part of the Network range of LED edge lit televisions.

It has a 46 inch LCD screen, when measured diagonally and boasts several features expected of the Sony brand, including Bravia engine technology and full 1080p high definition screen resolution.

Connect to the internet for catch-up services plus YouTube

The new generation of flat screen LED TVs are now fully equipped to deal with today’s multimedia lifestyle and the Sony KDL46NX713U is no exception.

The Sony Internet TV feature means that, alongside regular television, the viewer can access networking sites such as Facebook and Flickr and keep up to date with the latest viral on YouTube.

There is also the possibility of viewing the very latest on demand or catch up service such as the BBC’s iPlayer.

KDL46NX713U connects to your compatible components for an easy life

The multimedia doesn’t stop there.
The Sony KDL46NX713U also features a new concept called the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) home network.

This means that you can view your various compatible gadgets, including your phone, laptop or music player on your television screen. This is made possible by the wireless technology found within the Sony KDL46NX713U.

Wireless connection is available via a Dongle purchased separately. Another useful concept is the USB playback.
This allows the user to view media from cameras, camcorders or other device with USB connectivity.

3D Ready but needs extra kit

The Sony KDL46NX713U is 3D ready.
To view 3D, you need a 3D sensor and ‘Active shutter’ glasses.
This is different to conventional 3D television, viewed through green and red cardboard glasses.
The new shutter technology alternates the view from eye to eye at the same frequency as the frames per second on the television.

This 3D technology is in its infancy and the possibilities of 3D screens are endless. The Sony KDL46NX713U is compatible with various other 3D devices such as 3D blu-ray and 3D playstation games.
3D TV has also recently been launched and various sports and television programmes are now being made in full 3D.

Please note that the 3D sensor and glasses needed to view 3D content are extras and have to be bought separately, but some stores are selling a full package to get you up and running.

Superior viewing experience

This technology is made possible because of various factors.
LED lit screens aid the clarity of the picture, by providing incredibly sharp contrast of colours and hues.

The frequency that the television frames can be viewed at are incredibly high. Standard televisions are usually around 50 frames per second.
The new style 3D televisions have a higher 100Hz (100 frames per second) for standard viewing. The Sony KDL46NX713U can view films at an increased 240Hz, which means that they are a true representation of the movie, as the director intended.

Plenty of connector ports for all your equipment

The Sony KDL46NX713U has various connection points to support the various media.
These include 4 x HDMI points which enable the use of external high definition devices, such as a blu-ray player.
There is also a scart socket, USB port, component video connection and optical connection for audio devices such as a home theatre system.

This set looks good in any environment

All Sony televisions including the Sony KDL46NX713U feature the ‘Monolithic’ design, which boasts clean lines and quality materials used in the manufacturing.
This design has its own ‘Monolith’ stand which can be purchased separately.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, the Sony KDL46NX713U is a good all rounder. It provides the latest in connectivity and internet capabilities but is also ready for the emerging 3D technology that will be available more and more in the coming months.

Sony KDL46HX803U 3D LED TV Review

Tom — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 17:03:48 +0000

With the eruption of 3D-ready TVs onto the market, it is perhaps not surprising that one of the industry’s long-standing and leading manufacturers, Sony, have been quick to release their own line of TVs.

The Sony KDL46HX803U is one of their larger models and part of the high quality Bravia range, with a 46 inch screen and suitable for home viewing; an ideal size to allow the superior picture quality to be fully appreciated.

Note: The model reviewed here is also known as the KDL46HX803 in some stores.

Edge-lit LED plus 200Hz refresh rate results in superior viewing

With Dynamic Edge backlighting system, the LEDs are lit from around the edges of the screen, thus retaining the appealing super-slim design, but also with local muting of LED to allow the screen to show multi-faceted colours, even on previously matt screen areas such as black.
This innovative lighting system brings depth of colour to all the images with sharp lines and no lag.

Also incorporating 200Hz Motionflow Pro, even the fastest action scene or sports action can be viewed without any lag or double-effect being visible. Most standard televisions only have 50Hz, so with four times as such, it is no wonder the Sony KDL46HX803U is proving popular with consumers.

Top rated onboard sound with digital output to connect to sound system

With such a superior picture, it is imperative that the sound quality matches the high standards.
The Sony KDL46HX803U has a digital amplifier built in with the intelligent S-Force Front Surround, incorporating Steady Sound, which corrects the volume balance between programmes and adverts.

However, as with most large screen televisions, the best sound is obtained via a surround sound system, to truly do it justice. This model handily includes easy to access ‘speaker off’ controls and a digital optical output.

Built-in High Def Freeview Tuner

With such advanced visual enhancements, it would be a shame to not to maximise the effect and view programmes in HD.
This set includes a Freeview tuner built in, thus getting rid of any need for further unsightly boxes or trailing wires. No contract is needed to view many channels broadcast in HD – the only factor is geographical coverage.

The KDL46HX803U connects to your broadband router for internet features

The latest wave of TVs offer a bit more than just the ability to view television and films and the Sony KDL46HX803U is no exception.
With 4 HDMI ports and USB capability, music, films and photos can all be viewed.
In addition, the set includes DNLA which allows streaming of media from the home network. If these features aren’t enough to keep you busy, Sony have developed Bravia Internet Video which is a facility to access the best of the online internet services and sites and also catch-up TV, either via the Ethernet connection or an optional dongle

Final Thoughts

Sony have marketed this as a 3D ready LED TV and whilst this is correct, some further equipment is required to take advantage of any 3D broadcasts, namely a 3D transmitter and also the glasses.
This set might therefore be more appropriate for a consumer wishing to guard against a TV that will quickly become defunct, even if the full set of facilities is not yet required.

Once the additional technology is purchased, this set broadcasts beautifully in HD 3D and is compatible with all the channels and media currently available in 3D.

Samsung UE46C5800 LED TV Review

Tom — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 10:12:02 +0000

Get the popcorn ready, Samsung are launching their latest range in home entertainment. In particular the Samsung UE46C5800 LED TV has arrived.

This sleek and stylish chunk of technology aims to transform your living room into your very own private cinema. And with Samsung’s Slim LED expertise, it saves on house space while offering the best in picture quality.
The simple uncluttered design lends a timeless feel that blends in with the décor, whether your home is traditionally furnished or the peak of modernity.

1920 x 1080 Resolution gives Pixel Perfect Quality

Whereas the previous generation of high definition TV sets generated 720 lines of information, this baby has an impressive 1080 lines. This gives a picture quality of 1920 by 1080 pixels.
Better still, it contains a Freeview HD unit with Samsung software, so that viewers can instantly access the high definition stations, such as the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, through the existing house aerial.

Although this impressive 46-inch screen is not ready for 3D, it does feature Samsungs Wide Colour Enhancer Pro. This may sound rather like something from a futuristic spaceship, but in fact it enhances the images on your screen, to achieve what Samsung describe as ‘more real than reality’.

All this colour intensity adds up to a picture as lifelike as is currently possible. This piece of technology, developed by the boffins at Samsung, boosts the colours for a spectrum as good as anything you see in the real world.

This model encompasses several state-of-the-art features designed for viewing pleasure. The contrast ratio, for example, is 300,000 to 1.
Contrast refers to the differences between the colours on the screen. Literally, with this make, the whites are whiter and the blacks are blacker.

Judder Free Picture on the UE46C5800

There’s also a 150-motion rate. This facility eliminates the judder effect that lesser HD televisions experience when displaying fast movement. You might have seen it in a sports programme or an action movie. A 150-motion rate makes the Samsung UE46C5800 LED TV judder-free.

As you’d expect the audio is Dolby Digital, for that surround sound effect. Close your eyes and you can believe you’re actually right there, in the crowd at that football match.

Link up to your audio/visual equipment via 4 HDMI and 2 USB ports

This set has all the connection options to keep up with the digital revolution. These include 4 HDMI inputs, which are all v1.4 with 3D, compared to the two HDMI inputs on the average television. Furthermore the Samsung UE46C5800 LED TV comes equipped with an audio return Channel, 2 USB 2.0 Inputs, 1 component video output, 1 Ethernet port, 1 headphone output, 1 PC input and 1 scart output.

In other words it has everything you’d need to link up with the world of digital communication. Blue Ray DVD’s, your home computer, gaming machines such as Playstation, Wii and X-Box. Headphones allow the viewer to crank up the volume without disturbing the rest of the household.

Final Thoughts

To sum up, as the country steadily upgrades to digital signal, the Samsung UE46C5800 stands ready to make the most of these new opportunities. It is a breath-taking piece of equipment that will feature in any living space.

Tom — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 14:33:52 +0000

Slimline Panel with Green Credentials

The Samsung UE46C8000 uses LED technology for its backlighting so there is no bulk to take up room and make it look chunky, you get a slim, stylish looking TV that is a joy to behold whether you mount it on the wall or stand it on its own.
The display is complimented by a bezel that is fashioned from metal to give it a metallic sheen that is not distracting or over the top.This means that whether it is on or off, the Samsung UE46C800 will look its best.

On top of looking great, this TV is also 50 per cent more energy efficient than the equivalent model from the previous year – Samsung is always working to cut down on emissions to give you the most responsible product possible.

3D Ready plus 2D upscaling

The killer function of the Samsung UE46C8000 is of course its 3D capabilities and it does not disappoint.

You can view 3D content from the latest 3D Blu Rays if you have a compatible player and even more impressive is the fact that Samsung claim that its 3D engine can turn plain old 2D content into a 3D spectacle. In general practise this produces a 3D type visual effect but it doesn’t compete with proper 3D content.
But it does mean you do not have to replace your DVD or Blu Ray collection all over again to enjoy this cutting edge feature.

It is worth bearing in mind that you will need to buy your own active shutter 3D glasses in order to unlock the 3D content and each viewer will need their own pair.
However, if you consider the Samsung UE46C800 as 3D-ready, then you can always upgrade your accessories and equipment at a later date, making this a sensible long term investment.

UE46C8000 connects to the internet for that added multi-media experience

If you are watching 2D content on the Samsung UE46C800, you can enjoy it in full HD 1080p and the excellent colour reproduction and contrast levels are a stamp of Samsung’s reputation in this market.

There are four HDMI inputs and a host of other options which give you flexibility in how you connect your various multimedia devices to your TV.
There is also onboard internet connectivity to let you watch online video, rent films, check the news and even access your Facebook and Twitter accounts, thanks to Samsung’s Internet@TV service.

This is one of the top of the line TVs that offer Skype compatibility, which means you can buy the camera accessory and chat to friends and family anywhere in the world in full colour video using your broadband connection.

Final Thoughts

If you want a 3D ready LED TV that has movie star good looks and a host of features to tide you over until you can afford that 3D Blu Ray player, then the Samsung UE46C8000 is the TV for you.

Alternatively if you have already invested in 3D technology, or if your current player or games console can offer 3D content via an update, then you can delve into the three dimensional audiovisual experience immediately.
