hello all. I am debating on getting the 6400 or the 6300. How well do these tv's perform?

I have a total of 6 Samsung TV's. I have a 46" 7000 and a 46" 7500 that are 3 years old. 2-22" inch tvs and this summer i purchased 2 of the 50"-6400's. the 7500 primarily used for gaming (xbox360, ps4) and it is fantastic. I am extremely happy with my all of Samsung purchases. After buying the first 2 samsungs 3 years ago I have been very happy. they work well in bright sunlight and have a great picture. We rarely use the 3D feature on our Tv's but it works well. I would highly recommend samsung tvs.

There are no doubt better TV's on the market, but for the price and size I wanted the HD picture more than suffices. The settings to need some adjustments to get the best picture possible. I would suggest you read some of the official reviews out there as some of the criticisms are valid. Still I am satisfied with my purchase.

I had a 22" Samsung for 6 years and it performed beautifully. When I needed a larger screen I looked at Samsung. The 40" Samsung 6400 I bought also performs beautifully. I bought the 6400 because I can receive movies and text on my Laptop and see them on the TV Screen. I know I can do it on the 6400. If this is important to you, check to see if the 6300 can do it also. Bob C

I have the 50 F 6400 model. Have had it on the wall for about 6 months. Friends that come over are in awe as to the picture on the T.V. and so are we! One of the neighbors, when he comes over simply can't take his eyes of the T. V. Just don't forget you must have HD and adjust the T,V, per the various suggestions available on the net to get the greatest picture available. No secrets just follow the suggestions and enjoy !!

The 6300's do not use all Samsung parts and do not have a high enough picture quality/refresh rate in order to support 3D. The 6400's use all Samsung parts and have a high enough picture quality/refresh rate in order to support great 3D picture. Also the 6400's have Micro-dimming that gives you much greater contrast in the picture and allows for deeper black areas.

I have found two other differences - 6350 comes with quad stand and WiFi ready; 5500 - square stand and WiFi capable. Coming to difference in refresh rate, as long as you buy the TV less than 39" 60Hz is absolutely fine, 120 is just a hype for 32" version. 5500 is VFM. 6350 is bit of luxury. Hope that answers your question.

I can only comment on the M3D550KD because that's what I own. The price difference is very close, so I consider the price as not a factor. The 240MHZ refresh rate was a big deal for me and I still think it's worth having. The picture is very smooth on DVD's and Blue Ray. HDTV is really nice as well. Standard definition is noticably worse, but I guess that's why they went to HD. The 3D is really cool. I didn't buy the TV for 3D, but it's one of my favorite features now. I've owned it for several months with no problems. Bottom line, if it was stolen off my wall, I'd buy another one to replace it. I can only comment on the M3D550KD because that's what I own.

Go for Samsung UN50H6350 50-Inch 1080p... Its a way better than plasma, also you will save on electricity bill. Plasma consume more electricity

Thanks! I've been looking at the TVs in stores and I really like this one. There is a Sony model that is one up from this one, but it costs about $500 more.

Thanks. Sadly Amazon gets finer details wrong some of the time. I posted this same question on the gold box page and was directed to www.sonystyle.com. The 504 TV is a 720p just like the L5000. It costs less everywhere you can find it listed. The contrast ratio is listed as 8,000:1 as compared to 13,000:1 for the L5000. Also, the MSRP for the 504 is $399... so I fail to see how it is a "doorbuster" at $379. The 32L5000's MSRP is $449. It was on sale less than a month ago for $399. Value wise $50 off is $50 off. I'm just going to wait for the 32L5000 to be $399 again.

I've had both TV's. The B550 replaced my A550 which was broken. The PIP was on A550 but the screen was so small it wasn't worth it. The sound on the B550 is supposed to be better but I'm unconvinced. I think it's worse. But I do admit that the accident that broke my A550 could have caused a problem on the HDMI port on my cable box. I'm not ready to blame Samsung yet. But I have also read reviews where sound was mentioned as an issue. But the picture on the B550 is a lot better.

I got the 46" 630 model and I absolutely LOVE it. Sharp incredible picture and there is hardly ANY glare whatsoever. You won't be able to say the same thing with the 650 or 750 model. With those models, you'll be frustrated whenever you want to watch TV during the daytime if there is any window in the room or at night if any inside lights are on, because those models' screens are so reflective and cause so much glare. The 630 model also comes on a swivel stand as well.

Ok I am in the same boat about which plasma to get. I have gone to BestBuy numerous times and I like the Samsung PN42A450. I heard any tv in the 40s does not need 1080, as it would be a waste of money. I then saw the PN50A450 on Amazon for a great price, but it is 720. Just curious about if I get the 50, would standard tv look bad, and how about using a PS3 via DMI. Would it look bad because it is only 720 vs 1080? I know the 42inch would look nice, just concerned about the 50inch, and if I should get 42. It is for my bedroom so it will be somewhat close to me. Any comments regarding this would be helpful, thanks! Ok I am in the same boat about which plasma to get. I have gone to BestBuy numerous times and I like the Samsung PN42A450.

Not to be rude but Hank really doesn't know what he is talking about. First point: " Both LED and LCD televisions can have 120 hz, 240hz, and even 480 hz and in this case both tv's are 120 hz. Refresh rates are the same so "clarity" from refresh rates will be identical. Second: He says he will never buy a "straight up lcd tv." that's ok but he says he will buy one with LED or LED/LCD. Unless he is looking at a 4inch screen, they will all be LCD backlit withe LEDs. oLED technology in TV's is years away. My thoughts: Both these TV's have their ups and downs. The 630 is thicker and more power hungry but will have a more uniform picture (which if you are in low light situations is better). The 6300 LED/LCD is slim, "cool", better contrast ratio, green, (more expensive) BUT (and a big but) will be brighter around the edges than the center. This is the problem with "budget" LED/LCDs. Most edge lit LED/LCD TVs have this problem. To avoid it and get the best of both worlds one would need to buy one with Local Dimming. This is where the LEDs are placed behind the entire screen, not just the edges. It is a true difference maker. Not that the prices for TV's with Local Dimming are substantially higher (unless you buy the new outstanding Vizio models). Either way, if you don't mind spending a little more and getting a little less with picture uniformity, go with the 6300.

This one is prettier! I have the 650 but I don't have the 640 so I can't really make a comment if whether they have the near exact specifications like you stated. I always thought the bigger the model number the better. If I have time I might stop by a Best Buy to play around with it. If you can get the 650 for $900 free shipping on amazon, it's still a good deal. But if you're fortunate enough to live in a state that has a brick and mortar Fry's Electronics, sometimes they have it on sale for $700 plus tax. Their price is different though via frys dot com. You can wait around until Thanksgiving but I don't think it's gonna drop to less than $800 on a 1-day sale. This one is prettier!

Its a very good question. Looks like this TV is 480Hz compared to 553 (240Hz) and probably has functioning USB ports (according to specs at least). Other than that I see no real difference for 2D pics.And there is the chance by implementing 3D, some 2D quality is compromised. (Of course it may have corrected some of 55s's issues also)I guess we have to wait to see whether 554 is better in 2D than 533. However if you are not interested in 3D, I don't see it being worth $500 extra .. However I think the prices for the 554 will be coming down further in the coming weeks/holiday season.

Hmm,, I looked at both. I liked the 630 more. I was able to keep the price within $99 of the 530 when I got mine at Circuit City. It was just prior to them announcing they were shutting down. I think they were willing to deal on certain items. They matched the Amazon price in December and I was very happy with the deal. Although I always forget Amazon has the edge after taxes, but I got it the day I looked at it so to me it was worth the extra $. The 120HZ is a constant on the LN52A630. It's not to be confused with the Auto Motion Plus feature. The AMP is great for sports and documentary type programs or anything in a live format like news and such. For movies I'd turn it off. Both were nice sets, but for NOT much more $$ at the time I bought, I'd say the 630 was the better value.

I was interested initially in the 40A550, but ultimately went with the 40A650 because the important features were a priority for me, maybe a bit of futurizing. But now that I've had the 40A650 for 10 days, I've just made the plunge and am exchanging it for a 46A650. I figure I haven't bought a tv in 16 years, let alone a flat screen or high def, so I'm getting exactly what I want and I wouldn't want bigger..but for me the type I want came first if that was the only choice..don't know if this helps but as this post was 4/08, you may be past this by now..Good luck..

I've had my 52" 650 since memorial dday weekend...and coming from the video industry, it's the best screen around. For thos of you comparing the 650 vs 750 vs 850; check the technical details even at a store. I walked into the CC & BB locally and yes they were all set up side by side; but since the local store wanted to sell more 850s, it was "tuned" better. The default settings have changed including the brightness level; so when you are comparing TV screens; make sure that the identical output; down to the connection is being used and that both units are identically tuned, i.e. brightness, contrast, presets...99% of the time you will find them not to be. The best tuned TV this week will not be the one next week!

I personally like the 50" Panasonic plasm. I have mostly looked at the 50PZ700u. I person I work with, who is a stickler for this kind of stuff, bought this TV and really has enjoyed it. According to him you really cant beat it without going up in price by a few thousand dollars. Just as a side note, best I can tell these couple of models use the same panel and just have a few minor differences.50PZ700U - My preferred right now50PZ750U - Same with some more plugs and color settings. Costs more as well.50PZ77U - Not totally sure what the difference is, but it seems very similar. I personally like the 50" Panasonic plasm. I have mostly looked at the 50PZ700u.

I have the fifty five inch. We got it for a great price at walmart. We were hesistant at first. But its a great tv. I recommend hisense. A lot of people have never heard of the brand which makes it seem like you shouldn't buy it. We have had it for about five months. We use it often and the color is great. Picture volume appearance is great.
