In considering what TV to buy my parents, I had the apparent choice between buying an led LCD or a plasma. I opted to get the led, but you wouldn't really be wrong to go the other route. My parents just wanted any TV that was bigger than 50 inches while I, being somewhat of a techy, needed to find the best TV over 50 inches. Well, here you have what I would call the third best TV over 50 inches (the 8500 and 8000 models being better) at the time of this review. This is the first of Samsung's new line of lcds to come out this year, and it narrowly beats out last years 6 and 7 series TVs by offering a better contrast ratio (4,000,000-1 vs. 3,000,000-1) for virtually the same price point. Otherwise, it's pretty much identical after reviewing the specs. Newer is better though in this case also because of the firmware upgrades and other fine improvements in engineering and technology.
The TV was delivered about 5 days after I purchased it through Amazon, and it took about 15 minutes to set up. Out of the box the thing looks incredible. It's as thin as a blackberry! Some assembly was required with a phillips head and about 10 screws to attach the tv to the stand, but it was only 4 steps total and added to the suspense. After plugging in literally two cords (the hd component cables and the power cord) you are up and running. When the picture came on it was CRYSTAL clear. It puts every other TV I've seen to shame. You can go to Best Buy and do a side by side comparison and you won't find anything better. Forget about the plasma, this is the way to go. I could describe in more detail how great the picture is, but suffice to say it's flawless from movies to news to sports. Even if this is not your first HDTV, you will notice a big difference. I bought a 32" 240 mhz set in Decemeber and this tv is in another league. The LED side panel illumination works well, and there is very little adjustment of the settings necessary to achieve true to life picture quality.
"True to life" will be understood in a new way when you buy this TV. The longer it has been since your last TV purchase, the more breathtaking this advancement in technology will be. Regardless, this will be a TV that will have a useful life for years (longer than a plasma) and will always look amazing. That being said, I would get the warranty (2 years) for an extra 170 or so.
Note: I chose lcd over plasma because lcds are noiseless and don't have the risk of picture burn-in. The 58' plasma I was looking at is the same price. This TV is better than plasmas priced less at the time of the review. If price is the main concern, I might do an in store side by side comparison with cheaper plasmas to see if the difference to you is worth the money.
Amazing TV, but may be too big for my room May 16, 2010

I went to a local electronics store to buy a 46" LCD to replace the Samsung 46" LCD I just broke and ended coming home with this. F ry s had it on sale for 1 5 0 0, so we decided to spend the extra 6 0 0 to buy this. I was torn about not buying the Samsung TV with the Internet functions (Netflix, Pandora, etc..) but we have the PS3, which makes up for it. We had to decide between the Samsung Models LN46C630, LN46C650, UN46C6300, UN46C6500, and this model UN55C6300. They were priced and 8 7 9, 1 0 3 9, 1 3 2 9, 1 4 9 9, and 1 4 9 9. We were only looking at Samsung because we have had only good experiences with Samsung until I accidently hit the LCD :(( (Crack!!) Long story short we walked out with the 55"
On to the Review:
Before purchasing this TV, please consider your room size. We are about 10ft away from the TV and this is about as close as you want to be. There is a big difference between a 46" and 55"
The setup was easy. The size of the box makes it difficult for one person to carry it but the TV is light enough for one person to lift it. The first step is to attach the back plate to the base with 5 screws, next it is suggested to use two people to put the TV on the base. I was able to do this step by myself. It has tabs that latch in and 5 screws to attach the TV to the base.
All 4 HDMI Ports are located on the side, so may need to use the cable management system that comes with the TV. There is also a component video connection. There is no COMPOSITE video connector, which is a slight con for me because I need to buy a new connector for our WII. So if must have a composite connector on your TV then this TV is not for you. I did not dock the TV any stars for this because I could have looked closer... Besides composite to old school and I do not mind buying the component cable
The TV powers up fairly quick and noticeably faster than our 550 model I killed..
The clarity of this TV is amazing, the colors really pop out and are well defined. It is almost like the people on the screen are in the room with you. I thought Blu Rays were unbelievable on our 46" LCD, it is trippy watching them on the 55" screen. Talk about seeing the pores on people's faces. Maybe it is a little too good of a picture :D (I know, no such thing) There is defintely some reflection from the TV but not enough to bother us.
The sound is on par with our previous Samsung, which not great for audiophile people but more than enough then we need for our family.
Because it is a LED LCD it is thin. It is a little over 1" thick. Not as thin as the 9000 series but I do not have that kind of money laying around :)
I highly recommend this TV for anyone with a room larger enough to accomidate it. I am not having any buyers remorse. If anyone has any questions please post a comment and I will try to answer them.
7/18/2010 Update - Just a quick 2 month update. The TV continues to amaze and the Blu-Ray are just insane on this TV. I see the electronics store has 6500 model for 200 more than we paid for this
Wow! March 12, 2010

We have had this tv for 2 months and it just doesn't seem like it could possibly be any better. The colors are so true and there is so much depth that it actually seems 3D at times. When you play a Blu Ray the colors pop even more and you really feel like you are part of the picture or scene. I have done a double take at times because it appears so life like! We love this tv and are so happy when we get a chance to relax and watch it (not often enough!). Wall hook up was a breeze and it has enough HDMI inputs to make it even easier. I wouldn't recommend the Samsung Blu Ray player though if you are running everything thru a receiver. Samsung's "Any net" gets confused about what you are trying to do. Or at least the Universal remote doesn't recognize that the tv is in control of the Blu Ray player. (Or maybe it's me who gets confused on what it is trying to do!) Anyway, I can't imagine any other tv delivering a better picture than this one. You will enjoy it immensely!

I recently purchased and took delivery of this TV from Amazon and delivery was quick and efficient. I had read just about all of the online reviews that I could find on this TV. Since, it is so new, there aren't many. The TV has a fantastic picture quality and it seems that some images and scenes look more "real" than standard LCD TV's. Somehow, it often seems to have more depth and detail (almost 3-D'ish at times) than standard LCD screens with their standard CCFL back lighting. I also felt that this Samsung's edge-lit LED panel had a superior picture to other brands of LED/LCD TV's. Aware of possible chinks in the armor, I had read about the "blooming" or "flashlight" effect emanating from the corners of the screen when the screen is black, or showing dark scenes. When I first set-up my TV and it was going through it's auto channel programming routine, the screen was all black and I did notice the slight blooming effect of faint cloudy light coming from the top two corners, for several inches. However, it was not excessive, and was just discernible, and I have not yet noticed it when watching program material. Because the panel is so thin and the LED's are located on the edges and still have to carry light to other parts of the screen, with special diffusers, it is extremely difficult to completely suppress light "leakage" under all conditions with this type of back light configuration. But, the reality is that, likely, these types of conditions constitute a very small percentage of one's total program viewing time and experience. I have also noticed the occasional artifacting with some high speed movement, but, no more so than any other LCD TV, I've seen, even some at 240Hz. I do like the frugal energy use that this 55" LED/LCD Samsung, has, along with it's super slim profile and sharp looks that are modern and updated, yet, understated. However, the biggest factor that got me to pull the purchasing trigger, was the tremendous picture quality. A beautiful bright screen, with sharp detail with high contrast and rich colors, that once set-up properly, looks super accurate and super real!
Great TV - no complaints July 22, 2010

Like many others reading this review, I put a lot of research into which TV I was going to buy since I was paying so much. I upgraded from a 37" Sharp Aquos LCD. To sum it up, I am very satisfied with purchase and would buy again if I had enough money.
Let me help ease some concerns that I found while I was researching this product.
Flashlight/clouding:
For the majority of people, you will probably not even notice this. I had read so many complaints about this that it nearly kept me from buying this TV. I had to research exactly what this issue was because at first I did not know what flash lighting or clouding was. Once I found out what I was looking for I checked my Sharp LCD to see if it had the same issues and occasionally it did. But the fact was I had the TV for 5 years and neither I or anyone else that ever saw the Sharp noticed it. The Samsung 55C300 does have a little flash lighting in corners but honestly I had to really "try" to find it and when Im not looking for it I dont even notice. While it may be an issue for some people, I believe for 90% of people looking to upgrade their TV, this is not an issue, and the fact is you will find complaints about flash lighting/clouding on almost every LCD/LED TV. Only a few TVs I came across had no complaints with this issue and those TVs were way out of my price range.
Off-angle viewing:
I think everyone knows that plasmas have the best off angle viewing and that LEDs are not great in this area. But for me it wasnt an issue because I have my TV set up in a place where off angle viewing will never be a issue and I have it on a swivel stand in case I need to turn it. So this wasnt an issue for me as it might be for some.
Lag time:
Lag time was another issue I read alot of people complaining about and since I play alot of xbox 360 and ps3 games this was almost a deal breaker. However Im happy to say I just dont notice any lag time, when I press a button it reacts instantly on the screen. I notice no difference between lag time in this TV and my old Sharp LCD. Maybe there are some video game "nerds"(some of which I can tell by watching their screens in Call of Duty), that to them things dont move fast enough, but those people dont have anything better to do then to complain about lag time so dont let them turn you off.
Judder/frame skipping:
I watched the video from the other poster that showed his cable program skipping frames on this TV. I have played blu ray, video games, live TV, and DVRed TV and so far I dont notice this frame skipping on anything. With or without Motion Plus turned on or off or used with different settings, its just not an issue.
Glossy screen:
I read some people complaining about the screen being so glossy that they couldnt even watch the TV. I dont know if these people are just easily distracted but its not that big an issue. You can see a glare in the TV if you look for it but when its on the picture is so bright and amazing that I dont even notice a glare. I even shined strong lights directly into the TV and I could still see the picture fine.
Summary:
You may come across many bad comments all over the web regarding this Samsung TV or other higher end models, but do not be afraid. Notice everwhere you find reviews, you will have maybe 1-5 bad comments but the other 90-95% are all positive reviews. Im not denying that some people have issues with the TV but I think for the majority of people, the issues are not that big of a deal. From the complaints I was reading I was expecting a unwatchable TV set that would lag, skip frames, have flash lighting that made tv unwatchable, and screen that acted as a mirror in reflecting light because of its "glossy" screen. That is the kind of TV you would expect after reading many of the reviews out there, but Im here to tell you most of it is overblown and for under $2000 you can expect a fine piece of equipment. If your looking for the "perfect" TV, I have read great reviews on the SamsungUNB8500, but have fun getting that for a decent price.
PS: DONT SPEND MORE THAN $10 on HDMI cables
