Rated 100% by by parot-161 (Jul, 2011)The quality of streaming movies from Netflix varies from very good to excellent, but any fault lies with Netflix, not Samsung.Off-angle viewing: I've read some professional reviews that note "poor off-angle viewing" quality.

6400 Series by c|net (Apr, 2011)We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 46-inch Samsung UN46D6400, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series.
6400 Series by Anthony-Gomulka--Tony (Apr, 2011)Other TVs say they are like 37" when the actual screen size is only 32", obviously just an attempt to cut down on production costs.
thickness
6400 Series by c|net (Apr, 2011)Samsung has taken compact design to another level with its 2011 TVs, and in addition to its thin panel depth the UND6400 delivers one of the skinniest bezels we've seen.

Samsung 6400 Series 40" (2011) | Rated 100% by by PatrickThe 3D technology will likely continue to evolve, but the TVs with the best images are the 3D tvs, so even if you don't care about 3D and you're just looking for the best image, 3D is probably the way to go.
