Samsung LA46A650 Series 6 LCD TV

Great aesthetics
Decent brightness/contrast
Good color
Artifacts in detail and sharpness

After the LG Scarlet, I knew the next in line for review had to be a Samung Series 6. This LCD TV stands apart mainly due to its funky bezel and the associated hype, and there's also the spruced-up LCD technology that Samsung seems to have a knack for. We got the 46-inch LA46A650 for review; and as this is the first Indian review of the product, I’m really going to dissect it.

Design and Form
By now you must have figured that this TV has some fancy red stuff going on in the looks department, but permit me to elaborate: it's called Touch of Color, and it involves adding a red tinge to the plastic molding phase of bezel construction. This is laid on the black base, with a little bit of the plastic part jutting out, creating a transparent border. The finish is high on gloss – it’s a Samsung after all!

I was really impressed by the overall look, not just by the Touch of Color effect, but also the design of the whole front panel, which is very clean and smooth with no real lines or corners – just a seamless, curvaceous geometry. The red effect shows up better in yellow light.

The rear is a clean glossy black, with a small square I/O window consisting mainly of 4 HDMI 1.3s, (one is on the side). There's a USB slot too, along with VGA in (for PCS), Component, Composite, and S-video AV-ins.

Technology
Samsung has upgraded for sure; we have the not-so-popular HDMI CEC in this model, which Samsung calls Anynet (other brands call it by other names). Simply put, it uses HDMI cable to interact with other gear in the AV chain. This reduces the number of remotes, as you can use all the gear via your main device – in this case the TV.

The dynamic contrast ratio is a high 50,000:1, while the response time is a claimed 4ms. That sounds nice, but let's not take their word for it – we'll see for ourselves what this baby can do. The screen is full HD, which means 1920 x 1080 pixels.

The picture is great and features abound. However the picture in picture feature sucks. There is no quick select for on/off. Remote has no feature for on/off of PIP. You cannot flip picture screens. It's like being back in 1988.

I think you either forgot to mention the most important feture of this TV or it is not present in the Indian version. This TV is touted for its 120Hz frame rate and is the only reason for which it is charged a super premium price.

After all its "design that perform"
