Introduction

The Samsung UN46C6300 ($1699 MSRP) is at the end of its life cycle as we publish this, so it’s likely you’ll be able to pick it up as a bargain. If that’s the case, it gets our recommendation. It lacks the fancy features of higher-end TVs, like streaming content and 3D display, but its core performance is excellent.

Samsung UN46D6000

Everyone wants a Smart TV, but how smart is buying the Samsung UN46D6000 for its $1299 MSRP? With its reasonably good performance in many categories and more internet features than you can shake an e-stick at, that question might be hard to answer if it weren't for this review. Read full review
