Samsung LN55A950 55 inch Full HD 1080p 120Hz LED LCD HDTV
Hi,
Got my Samsung a950 recently, and its an exceptional TV. Fantastic picture and sound.
Had a question on the settings…the Movie mode is the worst. Too dark. The Dynamic is too bright and colors too saturated. I tried to lower the backlight and contrast for Dynamic, but still didn’t feel right.
The Standard seems to be the best. Can someone let me know what ideal settings they use for Standard settings (backlight, contrast, brightness etc.), and also the settings they use for Detail settings and Picture settings ?
Thanks.

The 55-inch Sony XBR8 has a fantastic picture quality right out of the box. It looks great on the wall although not as slim as the new LED TVs. But remember that the XBR8 has a back-lit system which makes the TV somewhat thicker. But I will chose the back-lit picture quality over a slimmer look any day.
We then got the Harmony 900 remote to control the TV, the DVD player, the Yamaha soundbar, and the cable box. I would highly recommend the Harmony 900 remote to go with the Sony XBR.
Samsung LN55B650 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color
This LCD is the best of both size and quality. With the additional 300 off that amazon was offering a couple of weeks ago, it was a bargain for what you get. Samsung is top quality in my opinion right now.
Here is the good:
Great picture. 3 extra inches worth more to me than 240 hz
Glass screen makes picture more vivid and handles glare with ease.
Touch of color makes it look really nice hanging in my living room.
Could be better:
Sound is average at best. Most will hook it up to external speakers so it doesn’t matter that much
Remote is decent but needs more quick buttons to control PIP and other tools that you have to navigate through a couple of menus to change
Bad:
Nothing. You will not be dissapointed with this bad boy!
