In 2011 Samsung released the D series of it’s high definition televisions, all serial numbers are a special code we want to reveal first: UN stands for LED TVs, LN for LCD and PN for plasma, followed by a number that equals the screen size in inches.
So, UN55D7000 means the 55-inch version from the D7000 LED series. Knowing this makes it a much easier to instantly identify, what type and size of TV your are looking at.
The top 3 for 2011 by the number of positive user reviews and overall sales:
The UN55C8000 already was legendary, but the UN55D8000 even beats this legend and is without a doubt the most popular 55-inch LED TV ever built on this planet. Slim, almost boderless design, superior specs of the 240Hz 1080p 3D display, especially Samsung’s micro dimming technology. In contrast to all other model series, all D8000 LEDs already come with 2 pairs of rechargable 3D glasses, so no need to invest a few hundred dollars extra for active shutter glasses. Over 200 positive reviews on Amazon and they even have a limited time special offer at the moment. If you want a 55-inch TV, this LED is your first choice. Also available in 46-inch and 60-inch.
The most popular model from the D6000 LED series is a smart deal if you don’t need 3D, Wi-Fi or a web browser. So, the typical living room family TV. Decent image quality and connectivity, slim design, if you want the latest in television technology and fancy internet applications are something you don’t need on your TV, the UN46D6000 is the value for money winner. The price is less than $1000, so much less than the D8000. At the moment you’ll find a special promotional offer here. Also available in 32, 40, 55 and 60-inch.
46-inch is still too big? Less than $600 to spend? Then this basic 40-inch LN40C630 LCD TV is exactly what you need. Samsung quality and 120Hz and 1080p, 4x HDMI, 2x USB, AllShare DLNA networking is everything you need for a perfect television experience. Sure, 3D is tempting and LED backlights may deliver even better image quality, but let’s be honest: Most of us just want to watch TV on a good HDTV and if you aren’t an expert or home cinema enthusiast, you’ll barely recognize any differences between the LN40C630 and a much more expensive HDTV. There is also a 46-inch version.
No matter if you want the ultimate home cinema experience or just an affordable quality HDTV, Samsung covers the full range of products. From our experience, they are the most reliable brand next to the much more expensive Sony HDTVs and offer the best value for money. Never seen any major problems with any Samsung TV, so no matter which one you plan to buy, you won’t be disappointed…promised!
