Samsung 6000 series

[Miker]

I've seen excellent reviews of the 7000 and 8000 series. Can I take it that the 32" 6000 series will have equal picture quality but without the internet gizmos which I'm not bothered about?

I wouldn't say so, this review didn't fill me with confidence about them -

Anyway, the general idea is that calibration controls are good, and of course design and features, the EPG works well and it's easy to use as a whole. More importantly the processing is very good, with good scaling etc...but it seems to run into some problems, the main one for me being that there is so much processing going on in the background the good calibration controls (and good calibration results) are irrelevant, because the processing changes it...which kind of takes the point out of calibration! Then there's the auto dimming, which can't be completely turned off, you will see a noticeable shift in brightness when it changes to a dark scene in a movie or something.

To be honest I don't think it's worth the money at all, I've seen one and I can't really comment on much of the above because it wasn't fully calibrated, but it still holds motion issues, backlight bleeding (around the edges where the LEDs are mounted) and viewing angles. This is all bareable because these are normal LCD issues, and are largely controlled by viewing conditions, but the dimming was irritating in the short period of time I was looking at it. Honestly I think you're better off with a decent standard LCD from Samsung or Sony, you don't get much else from the B6000 apart from being super thin, but surely a regular LCD is thin enough!
