Released October, 2011
Rated 100% by by Hen (Aug, 2011)Not only does this tv have an amazing crisp picture from wide viewing angles, but it's light, razor thin, and it's got all of the built in services like Netflix that I use all of the time.

6000 Series (2011) by W.-M.-Landers (Jun, 2011)Screen size is awesome to us, as we had a big 32" before.
6000 Series (2011) by Tinker (Jul, 2011)Why wouldn't I want the image to auto-adjust size to the screen?
thickness
6000 Series (2011) by yipikaye (Oct, 2011)It is very thin, the colors and image quality is astonishing.

6000 Series (2011) by ninjadancer (Jun, 2011)Blu rays look amazing and I have no lag when playing xbox.
6000 Series (2011) by D.-Barnard (Nov, 2011)Purchase this unit with no reservations, it occupies a beautiful sweet-spot of price to performance that is hard to beat.
contrast ratio
6000 Series (2011) by c|net (Apr, 2011)One other difference on the Web site is the UND6400's contrast ratio spec of "5,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio," compared with no specification at all for the UND6000.
6000 Series (2011) by Jon-Smith (Mar, 2012)Finally, they offered a different model (they later reneged on the offer for some reason) which was a smart tv with a closer price range (still cost less) but it had 1/5 the contrast ratio and was missing several ports.

Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 100% by by Ned (May, 2011)My wife and I didn't require a room-wide screen spanning floor to ceiling blasting in-theater sound to thoroughly enjoy our first evening with high definition, LED TV in our household.
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 100% by by joy (Jan, 2012)Yes, it is a huge television, but for those who are either accustomed to a big screen or those who wanted to go big, it's wonderful.
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 20% by by Tinker (Jul, 2011)But look around: if you want to have a 120hz refresh rate in a screen under 40-inches and have no use for 3D, there's basically two available this year, and I went with the Samsung.
Content
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 100% by by D_Sone--Sone (Nov, 2011)The colors, dynamic range, contrast, and 120Hz refresh rate is excellent for today's HD movies, sports, and fast-paced gaming.
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 80% by by PS-in-LA (Apr, 2012)DVDs and Blu Ray look spectacular on this set; in my opinion they look better than movies in a theater.
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 100% by by Jason (Jul, 2011)Movies look fantastic; my Blu-rays can finally shine in all their 1080p glory.
Picture quality
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 80% by by D.-G.-LimaThe sporting event is also good for adjusting sharpness, with the crowd shots-one can view just how sharp the picture needs to be by watching the crowd, while making the adjustments.
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 100% by by Rob-Roy--woodworker (Jan, 2012)The picture is clear and crisp and the colors correct as delivered.
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 80% by by Mntnmama (Jun, 2011)It has great picture quality, the sound has to be up around 40 to hear when there is other noise in the house (kids playing).
Movies
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 100% by by K.-Singhasiri (May, 2011)So, to me, everything looked like either home movies or daytime soaps which, if you can picture them, tend to move faster than most television programs and movies.
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 80% by by Jonathan-Pozo--Jonny-P (Mar, 2012)Tried both and 32" is definitely great screens for all computer uses especially gaming and movies.
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 100% by by Taylor-J.-Clark (Sep, 2011)This TV has a beautiful picture, set up is a breeze...and it truly does bring out my HD DirectTV and Samsung blu ray player's full potential.
Apps
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 100% by by Leslie-U.-Massingill (Aug, 2011)With the many adjustments (picture size, smart hub, apps, sound mode sleep timer and etc.) that can be made anyone should be satisfied with this TV selection.
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 60% by by A.-Dwivedi--AD (May, 2011)You can play YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Facebook (and other Samsung apps).
Samsung 6000 Series (2011) 55" | Rated 100% by by RRubin (Jan, 2012)I have been streaming videos on Netflix and Vudu and the video quality is great.
