Samsung UN55B6000 55" LED HDTV 55-inch 120Hz 1080p LED HD Television

This purchase was just so very simple we couldn't believe it. We are sold on shopping this new way for us. We absolutely love our TV. The men came in, took it out of the box, set it up and pluged it in to see if it worked and we were set to go. So simple. Also we couldn't believe the price. We did shop around to see what we wanted. Amazon can't be beat.

Great TV and was going to purchase but the TOC Red personally looks terrible and is a distraction to me. Decided to go with the UN55B8000. A slightly techcially advanced set, 240Hz vs 120Hz refresh and 2 ms pixel response time vs 4ms. TOC on the 8000 is Gray/Clear which IMO looks much better.

So far I have had this TV about 1 month and it is exactly what I expected. I bought it to replace a plasma TV I was sending back because it had too much glare from a nearby window. This TV has a little reflection but not the glare that the plasma had however the picture is still near plasma quality. I would definetly recommend this TV, especially for the price, which was around $400 less than anywhere else after a coupon code with Amazon.

Pros: Excellent picture clarity, amazing colors, 120hz works exceptionally well with progressive scan (ie 720p, 1080p)

Cons: Expensive, backlighting (actually, it's edge lighting on this model) is a little uneven in the corners. While watching credits at the end of a movie, you can see light and dark patches when the background is supposed to be solid black. This only occurs with really dark images and is a function of the TV being so thin.

Overall: I've had the TV for several months with no problems. I'm really happy with this purchase and would make it again.

A great television at a great Amazon price!
This television is the ultimate for picture quality and performance.
We have a LCD Samsung 52inch but this unit cannot compete with the LED version.
One will never regret to purchase the LED Samsung 55inch unit!!!

I am extremely happy with the Samsung 6000. Very cool look on the wall and wonderful picture. It was easy to hang as well, I made my own suspension system with parts from the local big box home store. I run the audio through a receiver, so I cant comment on the "problem" with the poor sound of the Samsung. There are couple "points of interest" that I have with this set:
#1. At times, the picture is a bit too clear. The motion flow can create a picture that is almost too good at times. This, however, is not a problem, just an observation.
#2. You can see some bright spots in the periphery of the screen when its completely black. It looks as if a few of the LED lights are too bright. Once again, not really a problem, unless you watch a completely black screen all the time.
#3. This set does not auto format the picture to the input of the picture size. This is only a problem if you switch between HD feed and analog feed. I do this frequently, so it is a bit of an issue, having to adjust the picture size constantly.
#4. On certain channels, you will get flickering white bars at the top of the picture. I have not isolated when this happens, however it is associated with #3,,,,,not having the correct size ratio based on the picture feed.
Overall, great bang for buck. Very happy.

Only have 1 month left until something better.

Well worth the money!

I had the tv for about a week now and i've been tweeking the picture and i think ihave it right for my needs...out of the box the contrast/brightness are very high, which is ok for daytime viewing but at night you can really see the backlight bleeding especially in the corners, you can adjust this using backlight level/contrast/brighness and tv has modes that save this ie: Movie,Natural,Standard...etc so when you're ready to watch a movie at night i have set my movie setting to low backlight and low contrast and you can barely see the backlight. Also sitting position makes a big difference in backlight, if you're sitting directly in front you see a lot less backlight. During daytime you can't see the backlight so its no big deal. Picutre is awsome, very good colors and clarity is amazing, im rewatching all my movies now just to see what i've been missing, 120hz makes a huge difference, makes movies look so real they almost look "fake", wife doesn't like the 120hz effect but i do. I'm running video via denon 2310ci upgrading the signal to HD so i dont have any problems with SD tv which looks good to (depending on channel) and i have a PC connected to it and media center looks amazing on this tv, but i couldn't get highest resolution (1920) to fit correctly on the screen so i had to step it down once. I can't comment on sound because i'm using speakercraft wall speakers. The only thing i hate is that clear plastic around the TV scratches very easily, even using a soft dust static towels. Overall a great TV and it looks beautifull.

Pros:
- Clarity, colors are amazing
- very light tv considering size but you need 2 people to hang it because its so large
- Easy to naviate menus
Cons:
- backlight is annoying needs, adjustment out of the box
- Clear plastic around TV easly scratches using a paper towel or static dust towel, must use microfiber cloth.

We were told we wouldn't be happy with LED tv because they look fake. We went and looked at all tvs before buying. The LED was much clear than plasmas or dlp. and made more 3d than lcd. They are more expensive but worth it.

I recently purchased this TV to replace a VIZIO plasma that lasted only 15 months long. First, it's very disappointing to learn that most, if not all, flat screens seem to be disposable in less than two years. The price tag on these sets is just too expensive for the life expectancy, this includes my last TV and the new Samsung. I'm not expecting it to last beyond the period mentioned, as I have already read a number of bad reviews on it. However, as flat screen TVs go and for the money, this one seems to look the best in the store. Everywhere I have looked, no other TV on the display wall compares to the clarity.

Unfortunately, I just hung mine last night and have already noted the problem many others are talking about with the backlight bleeding through the corners of the screen. What this looks like is 4 spotlights shining from the corners toward the middle with a luminous range of about 8 to 10 inches. This problem is more noticeable with darker images or when the top and bottom black bars are present. Regardless of lighting though, the problem is always present. The odd thing is the problem did't seem to manifest until about 8 hours of viewing time.

Another noticeable quirk is the illumination changes that occur when the picture changes. Often times it's very noticeable that the slightest change in the picture will cause the set to gradually make adjustments to the luminosity of the entire image. I'm not sure how to explain this better except to say that when something small in the picture should be brighter, the entire picture becomes brighter for a moment and then adjusts down accordingly. The process of brightening or dimming adjustments is a bit too slow or gradual.

Aside from size issues, I would much prefer to go back to the CRT televisions until all the little flaws and quirks related to flat screen technology is perfected. But, as flat screens go, this set does provide the best picture I have seen yet.

I, for one, found the menu system to be easy enough to navigate and the settings reasonably easy to understand and adjust. What I don't like is that it takes up a bit too much real estate on the screen.

As for the audio, I'm using a home theater system, so I haven't taken the opportunity to notice this feature for comments. I will say this, I find it a little annoying that when the TV is switched on or off, it presents an intro and outro theme tune similar to MS Windows. To me it's a little tacky, but a small quirk I can live with.

Another thing worth noting, if you are using a standard coaxial cable, be prepared for a fight to get that sucker attached to the TV. Because of the slim design, all the component connections are almost directly against the surface of the back side of the set. Furthermore, the connections available are very limited.

All in all, this set is reasonable for a flat screen TV with the best picture in it's class. The only thing that is most likely better is the Samsung 8000 series. But note that it too has it's flaws which I have gained information on in researching these TVs.

On the down side, I don't think that it's price tag is all that reasonable, nor do I think that the higher-end 8000 series at a whopping $4000+ is either. Simply, the cost of home entertainment has become just a bit too expensive for the level of quality and life expectancy, or lack thereof.

We did extensive research before "settling for" this TV. Samsung's LCDs are class-leading, but you have to shop wisely ;) We were impressed with the LED-backlit lineup (6,7,8) - Touch of Color, incredibly thin cases, great features, and exceptional picture quality. These are not the LCDs of days past; pixelation has all but disappeared, and black levels are impressive. You will find critical reviews online, and they are valuable for comparison purposes, but you really need to see these sets in person to appreciate recent advancements in image technology.

Per reviews and in person, the flagship 8500 provides an unmatched viewing experience, but it has a price tag to match. However, we were impressed at the picture quality offered by this "entry-level" Series 6 LED-backlit television for at least $1,500 less. The specs (4ms response time; 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 120Hz processing) may not be on par with the 8500, but you need to see these TVs in person before spending the extra money. Keep in mind that any of these TVs will look amazing in the home.

Through Amazon, we beat our local stores' prices by at least $500 (and received free shipping). Delivery was easy, as these TVs are extremely light for their size. And despite the 1.2" thick case, the TV's frame feels solid. That said, if you have kids or pets, you may want to either wall-mount this set or use the included anchor to prevent any possibility of tipping the set off of its base.

I think the only negative so far is the lack of analog inputs, but we knew of this before purchase. We have an old DVD player connected via the component inputs, and everything else is connected via HDMI. A friend brought over a PS2 for a party last night, but we couldn't connect it, as it had only analog outputs (unlike the PS3). So be sure to assess your system for connectivity before purchasing.

All in all, a great TV! It wasn't cheap by any means, but it offers great features and is a less-expensive alternative to the top-of-the-line sets.

Skip buying the higher models (series 7000, 8000), the only andvantage offered by these series is that it comes integrated with netflix, pandora and some others "cheap features", they do not offer any advantage in picture quality. What I do recommend you, is to buy a Nettop (small and light computer) so you can have access to youtube, netflix, hulu, pandora, facebook, and access to your files (pictures, videos, musics, etc) through the "nettop" (small computer).

I would like to buy a 65-75 inches version of this tv, but samsung don't have any larger LED tv.

this TV is phenomenal.
the 120 Motion Plus feature makes the image so 'real' we actually turn it off for movies.
the Amazon price, plus a large promotional discount we got, made this price pretty good.
the 55 inch picture is definitely the most we'd ever need.

beautfiul tv, worked flawlessly right out the box. you cant beat the 1" depth, looks great hanging one the wall. picture is crutsal clear and it really does look 3d. i have directv and bluray hooked up by hdmi to onkyo receiver and then to tv via hdmi.
i thought the red in the molding would bother me but its very subtle and im glad i didnts simply pay hundreds more to get the gray edge
got a great deal on amazon after searching web.
only complaint was shipping company - they were "too busy" the day it was supposed to be delivered - they had the set but ended up having it 3 daus cos of the thanksgiving holiday.

Very happy with the performance and look of this set. The picture quality is amazing.
Had it 5 weeks and have seen no shortcomings.
BTW: We were also very satisfied with the service provided by Amazon. Everything was first class.

Simply put, this is the best Television I ,personally, have ever bought. Yes it does have a few sound issues. Mainly being that it isn't anywhere near loud enough with the speakers that it comes with, but if you use a surround sound system then its a moot point. It has a beautiful picture that is second to none.

Like most of the reviews, I found the picture quality to be awesome. The only picture quality issue is automatic backlight adjustment during dark scenes. I notice it, and it bothers me a bit. I would like to turn it off somehow, but I have not figured out how to do that yet (if possible).

One large aggravation is the optical audio out from the TV does not push Dolby 5.1 surround when it is being sent from an HDMI connection. According to the manual it will only push 5.1 "when the TV is displaying a DTV(air) signal...." I am not sure why this is so, and it is a bit frustrating.

Believe it or not, I returned four, yes four tv's before finally deciding on this one. I am absolutely thrilled with it. After doing extensive research and learning that the Plasma market share has dropped to an all time low, that Vizio and Pioneer completely abandoned Plasma, and having an image burn into my Panasonic Plasma (this is Plasma's dirty little secret, if you don't believe me, google it!) screen two days after I bought it, trying a Sharp LED which was a piece of junk to be completely honest, and 2 different Samsung LCD's, I went for this. Yes, it was expensive, but definitely worth it! For starters, the blacks are so much better than a standard LCD and rival Plasmas, which was the only thing Plasma used to have bragging rights on (along with better viewing angles which Plasma still has a slight edge. Plasmas supposed bragging rights about 600 hz processing are mute - when you are up to 240hz motion blur is long gone by then) Secondly, the brightness is amazing, and the crispness is unsurpassed by Standard LCD or Plasma. I saw Transformers II on Blu Ray being demonstrated on this tv at HHGregg and all I can say is I was blown away. I saw it side by side next to a Samsung standard LCD and the difference was significant. If you are a videophile, this tv is a must. I do not have an unlimited budget, so I went with this model. The higher models had 240 hz processing, which according to research I've read, is not noticeable unless you get into gaming and I am not a gamer. If you want the latest and greatest, you will not be disappointed with this set. The CHASSIS ROCKS! So thin and sleak and the touch of color is very pleasing to the eye. I guess I can't say enough good things. Samsung has proven again why they have 52% of the market share. That is no coincidence!

I've had this TV since Sept. 2009 and love it. Easy set up, great picture even with standard def cable channels. The interactive USB owner's manual is really cool, and once done you can delete the manual and you have a free thumb drive! The "widgets" and widget gallery are a very nice interactive compliment and picture in picture is a must have. Nothing like being able to track your stocks, check the weather, and browse news blurbs while the wife or kids are watching their shows.
The only con for me is that you can NOT use cleaners on the screen. I have two 3yr olds and a 6yr old at home, so cleaning the occasional finger print off of the screen is quite a task. Last month I bit the bullet and purchased the wall mount for this unit. Great idea and easiest wall mount I've ever installed.

I just purchased the 6000 model of the TV after returning an open box 7100 model. I've only had a chance to watch HD TV (no blur ray or games yet), but I must say that I am amazed with the picture quality. I'll keep this review short and only mention what I believe are the shortcomings of the TV.

1 - Corner lights - yes this a side-effect of this type of television, but I found it really annoying. You don't notice it at all if you are watching a full screen picture, but for movies in letterbox it is extremely noticeable. When I first started watching the TV I had it set to the "Natural" setting, which made the corner lights very apparent. I have since changed the setting to "Standard" and the color temperature to "cool." In my opinion this minimizes the effect. The lights are still there, but much less of a nuisance. However changing the settings to "Standard" does wash out some colors (such as BRIGHT whites and yellows), however I find this to be an acceptable trade-off.

1 - Auto Dimming - Apparently the TV will automatically change the gamma settings when the TV switches to a really dark picture. This causes the TV to go too dark for a second, then brighten back up. I have only seen this once or twice and it hasn't bothered me too bad. Apparently there is a fix for this (WHICH I HAVE NOT TRIED AND CAN NOT ENDORSE). ***With the TV off, push Mute, 1, 8, 2, Power. Scroll to "Advanced", press 0000 - don't hit enter. Scroll (down arrow) to CE Dimming and hit Enter. Select Movie or Standard, and hit the left or right arrow to switch it off. Done, hit power. Turn on the TV like you normally would and Auto-dimming is now off***

If it weren't for the uneven lighting this would be a perfect TV. Personally I think I have found an acceptable solution, but that is all in the eyes of the beholder.

Bashar

I bought this TV after seeing it at Best Buy. In many ways, it's a great TV - with the appropriate program material. For football and the vast majority of network programming, the TV's great. Bright, beautiful, crisp colors which grab you unlike a plasma. However, when watching movies with certain scenes that have dark and light areas together (say a bright moonlight shining over a dark field), the TV exhibits a so called "flashlighting" effect. The TV can't seem to decide whether to compensate for the bright or the dark area and will abruptly darken or lighten the entire screen, sometimes back and forth. I'm not the only one to see this as this has been noted by other consumers and even professional reviewers such as C-Net and Gizmodo. Unfortunately, Samsung refuses to acknowledge the problem.

Shipping was fast and simple the TV is packaged well. This TV has a great picture. There may be some of what people call "flashlighting" with this. I am not convinced that that is it though. It seems to work realy well with sports in HD or conventional, however some movies and programs in HD have the effect. It may be something with the settings on the devise, I have only had it a month or so and have not had the time to see what works best yet. Just a personal observation, overall the picture is great, quality is great and features are great. I don't remember what it was like not to have this TV and would not be without one now.

Amazon delivery was awesome. No complaints on the TV, Works perfectly for me. Watching HD is completely different experience. I would recommend this TV.

I was searching for a television at my local HH Gregg when I came upon this television. They were playing "Speed Racer" in Blu-Ray and it was the most AMAZING picture I had ever seen! I waited and found it priced well below any brick and mortar or online shop through [...]. I purchased the tv and had it within a week. The contrast is amazing and details are crisp. Picture is beyond belief (especially in HD and Blu-Ray). Have not noticed any problems with the set that I researched before buying it. If you are in the market for a television with great black levels and AWESOME color, then buy this tv. Samsung has truly out performed all other models this time! I paid less for this set when it was on special than the LN model of comparable specifications and I could not be happier with my decision. I also have an XBox 360 attached with an HDMI cable and I do not notice any lag. The gaming system seems to work just as well on this television as any other. Don't listen to the people that tell you it is not as good as a plasma! This tv goes above and beyond any plasma I have ever owned or seen. Plus I have the tv sitting in front of my bay window and have no problem with the light on the set when watching it in the middle of the day. The best money I have ever spent!

We've had this TV for about 3 months now and it has been perfect. I can't imagine having a better image quality at any price.

This TV doesn't have to be tilted or angled in any way to get awesome picture quality. You can use the less expensive flat wall mounts instead of having to buy the expensive tilting mounts. No matter where you are standing or sitting the picture is perfect. You can actually stand beside it and see the picture.

We have 1 wall that is solid windows and we never notice a glare even with the blinds open in full daylight.

To the people that say it may not last long enough...Get an extended warranty!

No problems as of yet but havent really gotten to the bells and whistles but I would say that the high def picture looks great !!

Pilot Trucking delivered the TV on Tuesday without a hitch. Nice people. The cable company didn't install the HD box until this afternoon (Friday) and I'm here watching the Winter Olympics and am awestruck. The colors on this Samsung UN55B6000 are just AWESOME. I had a 15-yr old Toshiba 36" TV that I replaced. It still works but boy this new Samsung is just a joy to watch. Good Job Samsung. And good job Amazon. I saved $400 over the BestBuy price and add on another $165 in tax and the free delivery. I tip my hat to Amazon.

Great tv. Have had it about a month and watch ten times more tv than I use to just because it looks so good; watched football in HD on my old plasma (purchased 3 years ago) and was shocked at how much better the quality is on this tv. Very glad I spent the extra money. Highly recommended.

This is an awesome TV despite some of the negative comments you may read. I have to mention that Amazon offers quality products, same as your local store (Best Buy, Sears, etc.) but at much more cheaper prices. Their service is excellent, super fast shipping and no surprises as far as the product condition and/or description, you can rest assure that you get right original product every time.
Back to the TV, looks beautiful On or Off. The contrast ratio is AMAZING, super blacks and pure whites, the quality of the image is superb! Just make sure you have HD content available to really appreciate the picture quality. No problems so far with corner light issues, you will have to be extremely picky and force yourself to find this type of issue. Samsung has the best design in the market, so thin, lightweight and energy efficient, it produces NO heat whatsoever.
Perhaps the only negative is the speaker sound, it's not great but good enough for regular TV programming. However, this is not a problem to me, I have always used a home theatre system for music concerts or movies with all the TV's I have owned.
The 120Hz motion effect is very cool; it may not work with all types of programming but for nature or sport events is pretty neat! The good thing about it is that you decide when to turn it on or off or how much of it you want.
I will definitely recommend this TV.

What's great about it: Light Weight, Looks Stunning, Great Features
What's not so great: Off angle viewing, dark scene viewing, corners glowing, backlight is not uniform

"I WISH I LOVED THIS TV!

After being a plasma fan for years, I gave an LED-LCD a chance. Set-up was great. Features-a-plenty! Picture quality... AMAZING!!!.... sometimes. I played 'UP' on blu-ray. It blew my mind! Full screen, and bright colors; you will not find a tv with a better image. There is a definate sweet spot for viewing. Which leads me to my first complaint.

-Viewing angle: When your in the sweet spot. It looks great! When your one couch cushion over, you start to loose it. Contrast is lost, and dark images turn into a washed out blueish color. I was used to the viewing angle on my Samsung plasma, and deeply missed it after setting up the LED.

- Low Light: This is a Great TV for daytime viewing. Colors stand out. At night, in a dark room? Not so much. You start to notice that the blacks are not as black as they were during the day. Also, you will notice the corners of the screen starting to light up with a bluish tinge. Extremely distracting especially when watching a movie or show with a 1.85 or 2.4 aspect ratio.

-Backlight uniformity: What uniformity? In a very dark scene, you will really start to notice hot spots and cold spots when it comes to backlight. On an all black screen, it looks like black and blue camo. I even noticed Hot Spots during the olypics in very white areas. Again, distracting. This is most likely due to the side lighting as opposed to the full array lighting.

OVERVIEW! When you find that sweet spot, and play somthing full screen or with a native 16X9 resolution, the picture will blow your mind. But when you stand up, walk around, watch in a dark room, or watch movies that are matted on top and bottom? You will really start to notice a dissapointing amount of distracting problems.

I wish I didn't have to return it, but unfortunately I am going back to plasma."

Had to recently return my 50" Samsung plasma TV (PN50B860). Although the quality of the plasma TV was breathtaking the excessive buzzing was a deal breaker. This TV is bigger (by 5"), lighter (by 10 lbs), cooler (plasma got burning hot), quieter (zero noise) and more energy efficient (40% more efficient than LCD which are already more efficient than plasmas). Again the quality of the LED is not as superb as the plasma but it is still fantastic (black levels are actually blacker in a lit room). VERY happy with my purchase, would recommend to anyone.

The first thing to understand about LED TVs is that they are actually LCD TV that are backlit with LEDs. You still aren't going to get true blacks and whites without getting a heavy and power sucking plasma. That being said, the picture is amazing! We've owned several LCDs and plasmas, and this is an outstanding product.

In my house, we don't particulary care for the Auto Motion while watching TV shows. For games and sports, it's great, but it seems almost unnatural while watching some shows. We bought this model because we knew that we weren't going to use the 240 Hz Auto Motion anyway.

I have a few things to point out about this TV though.

First, the power cord is incredibly short (At least the one we received from Amazon Warehouse Deals, it was.). This is a very important thing to know if you are mounting on the wall or above a fireplace that doesn't have a highly mounted power outlet.

Second, there is only one speaker, and it is in the back of the TV. This isn't particularly a problem for us because we use an A/V receiver, but don't expect the TV's audio to sound good on its own. Another thing concerning audio, is that it does not have Audio Out so that you can plug your components (DirectTV, XBOX, Blue Ray, Computer...) into the TV and have the audio be sent out to a stereo.

BE PREPARED TO BUY AN A/V RECEIVER.

This is an amazing TV. The same LED HD TV sells in Best Buy for so much more, Amazon sent it with free shipping and a free blue ray player.
The TV is slim and sexy,It hangs like a picture frame and once it is up it looks amazing, BUT getting it up is tough.
We used the wall mount (which are extra of course..) and struggled with it for close to an hour,it is also tough to access the hdmi and ethernet ports so try to have all the wires hooked up prior to the mounting, and be sure to bury your surge protector behind the wall because there is no room to hang it behind this TV.
But outside of that one problem- the picture is excellent,I am super impressed: the blue ray picture it is perfect with HDMI pretty much out the book, I suggest you see Australia the movie with this new TV when you get it all hooked up.
Enjoy!

Purchased the Samsung 55" 1080p Ultraslim as christmas present for my wife. It came with the Samsung BlueRay. The item was delivered to my home as Amazon promised. Delivery company contacted me to accomodate schedule delivery date to my convenience. Product arrived in perfect condition. The picture is just crytal clear. WalMart and BestBuy are no match for Amazon and can't beat what Amazon offer to shoppers. Thank you Amazon!

Bought this television after shopping multiple brands and types. I looked seriously at Vizio LED and Sharp LED tvs along with regular LCD and Plasma. I bought this because no matter the store I visited, the Samsung LED always looked great. I love the television. I know the tv has a great picture because my wife even makes comments about the quality of the picture. I have a BluRay, HD Satellite box and HTPC Media Center to play HD content on the television. I have no issues and would recommend this television to anyone.

I bought this when it went on sale and, aside from just being gorgeous overall - thinness, great design, lots of connections - this TV has a fantastic picture! I have HD (720p) content off iTunes and it looks absolutely stunning on this TV. My friends and I were stunned when I played HD Star Trek on this TV, we just stood there staring when we were supposed to be moving my old TV out.

The other day we watched District 9 on regular DVD and the picture upscaled was awesome. This TV inspired me to buy a Blu Ray player - the Samsung BD-C6500 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player - because I want to see full 1080p content on this baby. Also the InfoLink stuff works great, we get news and weather any time. I bought the Buffalo Technology Nfiniti Wireless-N Dual Band Ethernet Converter WLI-TX4-AG300N so I could hook it up to my wireless network along with other wired-only devices I'll get in the future.

Basically, this TV completely rocks, and as a bonus our electricity usage has gone WAY DOWN so we're saving money there as well, the LED technology makes great colors as well. I could gush longer but basically, if you're considering buying a cool current-gen LED HDTV you can't go wrong with this one, in my opinion and experience with it!

Amazing picture and sound quality. The pictures are so crisp and true color, it almost feels like the images are going to pop out. It makes other HDTV look cheap and poor quality. The TV is 1 in thick and easily mounts on the wall. It really is beautiful at a great price.

We were a little nervous making the purchase since there's not many LED TV at this price and this is a new model with limited reviews/feedback. I'm one of those people that research each purchase to death but I'm glad I took that leap of faith with this TV. There's no point going through the specs.. you can read that on CNet. All I'll tell you are, pictures, colors, sound, and overall look of TV is great.

Sharp picture great contrast, this is a fantastic TV.

Buying a large TV from Amazon is the only way to go. They delivered it right to my living room. Price was almost $200 cheaper than any local store, even when they were having a sale. Plus you don't have to figure out how to get the TV home.

The only annoyance was that it didn't come with any cables. So make sure you order some HDMI cables with your TV if you don't have some already. I went to Target to get one. Didn't want to wait. Twice the price of what you can get on Amazon.com.

Just adding some kinda-important notes about the UN55B6000 (actually the whole line of UNXXBXXXX LED backlit ultra thin Samsung TV's. A lot of folks will mention that the internal speakers are really crippled by the fact that the TV is so flat (the main speakers fire down and back from the left and right sides of the bottom of the TV). Most peoples' first reaction is to grab an inexpensive add-on surround speaker system like the Yamaha NS-SP1800BL and plug it into the audio output from the TV. The problem is that Samsung has designed their TV's to not allow the user to control the audio output volume from the remote. You can set the TV to disable the internal speakers, but the volume control does nothing. It's called a Fixed Output audio output. This may sound nit-picky, but not being able to use a good, simple fix for the poor internal speakers means that you start having to buy much more expensive solutions. On top of it all, the work around to this issue means you get to add another remote or more complex universal remote programming.

It turns out that people have been complaining about this to Samsung for a year or more (search for "Audio Outs are fixed" on CNET's Samsung blog). I wish I had seen that before I bought this TV.

Love the TV and the image is amazing! One thing I didn't like is the additional wireless USB adapter that MUST be purchase separately and it cost $73.

So far, been using for a month and it works great and it could pick up a lot of channels from Comcast (if you just have the local basic service from Comcast)

I replaced a 46" 1080p LCD Samsung with this TV. Difference in picture quality is amazing - I did not know the 4 year old Samsung was so bad! Colors, sharpness, all are way better. Amazon shipping was also very good 0 the shipping company contacted me a couple of days before the delivery, they arrived on time, the driver was very nice. Looks like brick and mortar stores should be really worried - I never thought I would buy a large TV online. Amazon rocks!

This Samsung UN55B6000 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV is one of the very good HDTV I've ever seen.I'll buy one more for my son if I get a best deal on its price dropped again

For the price, tv qualitiy doesn't get any better! Going from 50in Samsung DLP 1080p to this, is like night and day. Didn't think Bluray could look any better than on my old Samsung, but boy was I wrong. DVD's on this tv look like bluray's did on the old tv, and Bluray look 3D... 100% Satisfied!

pretty much everything I like to say is covered in the review by "Andrew Carney".
I just wanted my vote to count.

I'd been researching TVs for a while when I saw this one on sale for a good price. The image is very clear, and the colors are very vibrant (and you can adjust the heck out of them too, if they're not to your liking)! The TV itself is a nice piece of engineering as well, very thin and sleek-looking. The "touch of red" in the bottom border of the frame had initially worried me, but it is very subtle, and I've grown to like the slight accent it adds to the otherwise all-black TV.

If I had to say something bad about this TV, and believe me it's tough, I'd say that in a very dark room, when displaying a black screen, you can notice the uneven splotchy-ness due to the LED edge-lighting. However, if there is any sort of image at all on the screen, this is completely un-noticable. Besides, how often do you sit at home staring at a blank screen? The very slight unevenness is definitely worth having the TV so thin thanks to the edge-lighting.

Great TV from a great company (Samsung)! Also, Amazon gets some credit too :-P/

I purchased this TV from Amazon about 45 days ago. I selected this to replace my perfectly functional three year old Samsung 50" DLP. I am disappointed at how much of the low light scenes are missing (just black areas on the screen) and I am also disappointed in how frequently there are blurred images during high speed and high contrast scenes. Bright vivid scenery is without question far more brilliant on this TV than my DLP but for this price I expected less noticeable shortcomings in comparison to the DLP technology which has lost its market share.

I was hesitant to buy a LED tv because of the price. But after comparing the bulky looking LCD and plasma, this is much lighter to handle and beautiful to look at and worth the additional cost. I read a lot of reviews on Amazon.com for this product before I bought this TV. A lot of people mentioned something about having problems with images at the corners. I have had the TV for 3 months and have not noticed anything similar to that. The image quality is excellent and the colors are beautiful (specially in the Dynamic setting, the colors are so bright and clear that my eyes start hurting after few minutes of watching. My setting is usually at Standard for watching regular TV programs and 'movie' while watching movies.) I didn't have to make any changes to the TV setting after I removed it from the box. Very easy to setup and has a lot of good features. Have connected my desktop and use it as a PC. So I have not used the infolink features yet. But movies from youtube and other websites are excellent. Very satisfied with the TV. Excellent purchase from Amazon.com with better pricing compared to other retailers.

We got the Samsung UN55B6000 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV on March from Amazon and couldn't have been happier with this purchase! We had a 32" Sony LCD (which we got in early 2008) but it was just too small for our living room.
This TV however fits perfectly. The picture is crisp and clear whether or not we are watching an HD channel.
Definitely a great purchase and worth the extra few hundred dollars to get the LED over the LCD.

A great LED by Samsung. I was able to purchase this TV from Amazon nearly $400 lower than Best Buy's price, they even had a big promotion going.

Unfortunately, this TV reflects everything! If it were not for the price, these could replace mirrors. Additionally, the 3D TV's were released a week after my purchase which also included Samsung Widgets, two nice features I missed out on.
