Guys, any opinion on samsung LED sets, the new Samsung F6/7/8 series?

 

[shaiju_o_thomas]

Etios, I have demoed 6 and 7 series. They are good and excellent respectively.

7 series is really worthy.

I think you mean F6400 and the obvious W800. Both are good. I did a demo of them side by side and posted impressions on one of the W800 thread.

I felt W800 overblows colors a bit but in a nice way. It has good viewing angles. Not very deep blacks but better than LG. Mostly uniform screen. Misses out on shadow details. If watching DTH HD or bright bluray materials in a lit room then you'll be amazed by the PQ.

F6400 was a bit sharper but can't know outside of direct comparison. Not so great viewing angles. It was a bit more warm that many movie lovers will like.

Motion was similar.

Many will favour the W800 and definitely not a bad decision.

Any feedback on LG model 42LN5710? Supposedly launched recently and looks to have good features at a decent price.

So , it looks like Sony W800a is better than Samsung F6400, Samsung India has also listed 60inch F6400, i think this should be available for around 2 lakhs or less:

LED TV - 152.4cm (60) Full HD LED TV (UA60F6400AR) - OVERVIEW

In Mumbai the LG models are available in most stores. Still not impressed by the PQ. They changed the looks but the PQ remains similar to last year's. Not great. Okay for regular SD and cable / DTH.

Specifications does not always translate into performance.

Hi everyone,
Today I got to demo both LG 42LA6190 and Sony KDL-42w800a.

I never expected such brightness from LG, but it was looking great.
Sony's PQ looks amazing.

In my personal opinion:

LG:
Good:
1.Awesome 3d effects (Played Avengers final scene).
2.2D to 3D was stunning too(Transformers 3 intro scene).
3.USB recording.

Bad:
PQ is good BUT:
Cricket was put on while I was demoing.
1. I noticed there was lot(noticeable) of blur(ghosting) effect while the camera was moving along the ground & while the players were chasing around.
2. The colors looked as if they were peeling out of their regions.


Sony:
Good:
1. Amazing PQ (No blur or color peeling as in LG set).
2. 3D is excellent (still felt LG was better).

Bad:
1. 2D to 3D was kind of bad.

My primary consideration has been Sony, but after looking at LG set in the store I almost changed my decision....but then, I caught ghosting effect pretty easily. That is no-go for me. Well all the above is in my own personal opinion.

Can anyone tell me what is the actual refresh rate of these sets?
Could the ghosting effect be due lower refresh rates?

Now I'm almost fixed my mind to get Sony. Do share your opinions on this, if you have got to demo these sets.

P.S Will there be a 42inch Sony w900 series model?
