Samsung UN46ES6500F 3D LED LCD HDTV Review

Resolution & Formats

The UNxxES6500 series is a native 1080p display but also supports 1080i, 720p and 480i.

Viewing Angle

The 35° total viewing angle of the Samsung UN46ES6500 is easily trumped by the LG 47LM6700's 61° viewing angle and the Panasonic TC-L47DT50's superb 120° viewing angle.

Motion Performance

There are two motion processing features on the Samsung UN46ES6500, one called Auto Motion Plus and one called LED Motion Plus. Auto Motion Plus is set to standard by default. The effects were mild enough that we recommend simply turning it off. If the setting is changed to smooth, there is a very noticeable Soap Opera Effect.

There are also options to customize the Auto Motion Plus settings by adjusting how much blur reduction and judder reduction it produces.

As far as LED Motion Plus, there was not much of a noticeable difference with the setting turned on.

Screen Uniformity

This TV has excellent screen uniformity. Black and white levels were very consistent; there were no bright patches on an all-black screen. There was very minor shadowing near the bezel with an all-white screen but it was nothing that would detract from viewing any sort of content on this TV.
