Viewing Angle (4.55) The Samsung UN46B6000's viewing angle is not very impressive at 23 degrees from center, for a total viewing angle of 46 degrees. We measure the effective viewing angle as the angle at which the contrast ratio of the HDTV falls below 50% of maximum. Below you can see a graph of the Samsung UN46B6000's contrast ratio across angles.
You can see clearly in this graph that the Samsung UN46B6000's falls below 50%, the red line, just shy of 25 degrees from center. This means the Samsung UN46B6000 probably isn't a good choice if you need an HDTV for a large room where people will be viewing the television from a wide range of angles. If you're going to be sitting on a couch directly in front of the television this won't be a problem. Reflectance (4.5) The Samsung UN46B6000 has a very reflective display that does a poor job of diffusing light. Even when the light was shined at an angle it can be very noticeable on the display. When watching a sample clip we were quite distracted by lights shining onthe display. You should be very careful about how you set up the UN46B6000 to make sure that stray lights don't shine on the display. Video Processing (3.0) Like many HDTVs the Samsung UN46B6000 offers a variety of different video processing options that can be turned on to improve video quality. In this section we look at whether they actuall make any difference.
