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.

Best LCD I’ve seen to date, bar none. I did my homework for quite sometime and found the 81F series to be a hidden gem. This being the 2007 LED backlit series, it was $1,000 cheaper than the 2008 Samsung LN46A950 (120Hz). Thankfully, I got mine in time: the 2009 Luxia series Samsungs LNXXB8000 (240Hz), LNXXB7000 and LNXXB6000 do not have local LED dimming! What’s the point of having an LED backlight? Grab your A950 and 81F series while you can.
Only one notable con: sound quality. Certainly not a deal breaker, but you’ll definitely not want to depend on the internal speakers.

This TV is the best on the market today, the 55 inch Model holds the same quality but is a lot more money. I got this TV around Dec 25th with a Wall Mount from Amazon, the mount was very easy to install and i had the TV up in a matter of an hour or so. The biggest issue was removing the base Glass Stand which is held in place by 4 Screws. I recommend 2 people for ease of mounting this TV.
The Picture is amazing, Blurays Seem like the people are real and not just a projection or dim image, the colors are bright and vivid. I researched this TV for about 6 months before buying it. No other maker at this time can make a TV that Matches the 9 series, do not listen to anyone in a retail store like bestbuy or others because they will try to sell you on the idea of plasma and honestly you will not notice a difference. Do not believe that just because someone says plasma is better that it is, look for yourself and compare. The Backlite LED technology has closed the gap between Plasma and LCD tvs and they are very equal to one another.
I hightly recommend this TV or the 55 inch Model LN55A950.
