I know this is a recurring question and maybe difficult to answer. I would like to buy a new tv in the near future but I am at a loss when deciding which is good. I will be gaming on it so that should be good.

I am looking at this one at the moment: The samsung UE46F6400.

46 inch Full HD 3D smart LED tv
200hz clear motion rate

Any thoughts?

Yeah, good choice.

I'm no expert on any level, but my experiences with Samsung have been nothing but good. I have a Samsung TV now, and I fully expect my next one to be a Samsung as well.

How about size? 46inch looks good but I sit about 3-3.5 meters from tv and a lot of sites say I need a monster tv......

I have a Samsung 50, capacitors went, as it was a global fault they fixed it free of charge, but I have had some problems with it since I got it, I will get a Philips next time around.

man i hate this. I just feels like gambling...I have no idea and i don't want to regret a purchase like this...

If you don't buy a Samsung, you're wasting your money .

Panasonic. :p

My thoughts exactly.
Considering how bad shows TV these days offers, you don't lose much.

And for watching DVDs and stuff, PC monitor is enough in most cases.


Otherwise I suggest buying the cheapest possible thing, because no matter how much it costs, it's going to break in few years anyway. There's no quality in TV manufacturing these days either.

I would go Samsung or LG. Also you might want to make sure your not spending a lot on this thing. IMO every widescreen tv has some oddball flaw and it's just pointless to spend over 500 on a tv.

This is likely not worth considering, it is probably the same gimmick as motion flow which creates frames out of the real frames and inserts them inbetween the real frames. All TVs as far as I know adhere to the NTSC standard in the U.S. which is restricted to a 60hz refresh rate. Note it says "200hz clear motion rate" not 200hz refresh rate, right? If you do buy that TV you should turn that feature off to decrease blurring. In short while the display is capable of displaying 200FPS it can only receive a 60hz signal, so you will get no more than 60 real frames per second. I should also note that as so as you get your new TV home you should turn off all the marketing gimmicks as as they do is degrade the picture or give you incorrect color/constrast. After turning that crap off you should also calibrate the display or at least set it to the normal preset which is usually called standard, but on some TVs the best preset you get could be called normal/dynamic/vivid.

Also if you can wait, you should because if you are going high end, you will want to go for a quantum dot enhanced LCD instead of just an LCD TV.

The samsung UE46F6400--- There is a newer model of this TV on Samsung's site right now for $900 after $550 off.

AWW YEAH!!! Samsung has an OLED TV on their site for the U.S. It is $9000 but this is a good sign. Come on affordable models! If I were rich I'd get two of those things. You are always gambling when it comes to LCDs. I don't think any company has a 100% pixel guarantee.

Thanx for the replies! Well I agree tv sucks but I still watch it for movies and game of thrones quality series with my wife. Also I use it for console gaminig. I am not really worried about the quality of the tv when it comes to actually watching tv but mainly for gaming. I hate ghosting or blurring so I am worried about that. I have a LG but it's was bought a few years ago for our small appartment. The tv is too small for our living room since we have a real house...

Fromwhats been going on around me of late looking out the window is MUCH more interesting than anything on TV.

This and other reasons are why I refuse to use LCD, DLP, or Plasma displays.

My family and I have been waiting years for OLED displays. But now there are full quantum dot displays that will likely compete with OLED and now there is a third competetor, BiO-LED. BiO-LED looks the most promising at this point but at least if you have the money you can get an OLED display now.

If you look at a "smart" TV, be wary of issues such as [url=http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/21/lg-admits-smart-tv-data-collection/ ]LG promises to stop your Smart TV spying on you[/url], and of TV's that require an internet connection to get working. That is, if you care about such things.
