It's funny isn't it...how geeks seem to find each other and stick together? Don't ask me how, but I seem to have developed a clique of HD TV geeks! I'd been chatting to Tom about his HD TV set up and we'd taken a passing look at a Samsung UN65C6500 LED HD TV a few weeks back. Admiring this total monster of a LED TV I obviously hadn't noticed the glint in Tom's eye! So...I was a little shocked when he called to invite me round for a viewing of his sparkling new Samsung UN65C6500 65 Inch LED TV.
To say I was excited was an understatement, so when friday night finally came around, I duly arrived at Tom's around 7pm.
The first thing I noticed was the sheer size of the thing. You'll need a big room to get the best from this TV. If you only have a small viewing room, this set will probably be too big for you. And, this set is NOT cheap, so, you really do need to be absolutely certain you'vge got a room that can cope with this beast.
This is a full LED TV. So it benefits from a crystal pixelated screen which offers full 1080p HD. This means it has the the most detailed picture it's possible to get with current technology. I was though slightly worried that the screen refresh was only 120 Hz. On such a large screen, I thought that might lead to some degree of motion blur. I must admit I would have thought in putting such great technology into the Samsung UN65C6500 LED TV, samsung would have gone the whole way and offered 240 Hz? Maybe that would have pushed the price too high, I don't know, but it did seem a bit of a false economy to me.
Having said that, the picture performance was absolutely amazing and despite trying hard to find motion blur, it just wans't there!
So, how does the huge scren compare? Well, I've got a 46 inch LED screen at home and it's just right for the viewing area I have. Tom has a large room specifically for viewing, and despite my home set being 240Hz, I really didn't notice any difference in picture quality once we got into watching a recording of last weeks Flash Forward from the HD box.
Action sequences were smooth and accurate and of course colors were sharp, bright and the contrast with deep blacks superb.
One of the big drawbacks with all LED TVs is that the sound generally isn't wonderful. We did play 5 minutes with just the TV sound and it was true to form. But, hooked up to Tom's home theater system offered a different experience all together.
I thought I might find going back to my own 46 inch a bit of a come down, but I do genuinely believe that the viewing room size to TV set size is a vital factor here. My room just couldn't cope with the Samsung UN65C6500 65 Inch LED HD TV.
I loved watching the Samsung UN65C6500 LED TV but Tom's entire set up is different, everything is totally tailored for his 65 inch wonder! My viewing area is more "public" so I think it's horses for courses.
Again as with all LED TVs the Samsung UN65C6500 has all the power saving facets of all LED TV's so...it's kind to your pocket and the environment.
The "jack-pack" on the Samsung UN65C6500 LED TV has every possible connectivity port you could posibly want. It offers outstanding game play, built in photo library, USB ports, the ability to host peripherals, media 2.0 a PC input and an ethernet input as well as 4 HMDI inputs. It's also DNLA compatible which means that you can plug and play most makes of computer and mobile device.
Finally the Samsung UN65C6500 LED TV is ultra slim and looks really rather good, but then so does my 46 incher!
If you have the viewing room size and a budget to match the Samsung UN65C6500 is a quality buy that will wow your friends and make the family want to spend far too much time in the viewing room. The only word of caution, Samsung are sure to upgrade and come out with a 240Hz version sooner or later. If I wantd a 65 incher I may be tempted to hold fire until the 240Hz vrsion is available. But, as with all technology...is there ever a right time to buy? Perhaps you should just go with your instincts and enjoy 65 Inches of pure LED TV beauty!
This is a big purchase and whilst the best prices are undoubtedbly online, if you are thinking of buying a Samsung UN65C6500 I recommend a viewing at your local store and them buy online (provided the price is right).
