Samsung PS51D6900 Owners Thread *Part 8*

[z00h]

I've upgraded from 51d6900 (FW 1015) to 60e6500 and the picture seems a tad more lively. It also buzzes a lot more (i'm on a 3rd e6500 set at the moment, d6900 is almost dead silent) and the real black pro filter does me head in because of a wave like pattern visible on dark scenes or when the telly is off and also it reduces vertical viewing angles.

Size wise, anything below 60 inch now seems pointless especially for 3d content.

How high is it mounted? You shouldn't be able to see the filter like that.

Eye level, I have it on a stand. I sit pretty close to it though (about 10 feet).

Here's an example. I know it's exaggerated but gives a good idea of what I'm talking about. Samsung on the right LG on the left.

D6900 has no real blah blah filters and it looks almost as good.

Samsung PS60E6500E Owner's thread

D6900 has no real blah blah filters and it looks almost as good.

I have said all along the 59/60" samsungs have the buzz, 51" are near silent. Its a fact borne out by replacement after replacement with a lot of D6900 owners last year.

This rbf thing sounds a bit dodgy though, none of the reveiws criticise it from the proper veiwing angles.
10 feet is by no means to close , intact I find that ideal.
I hope you can get something sorted out though :-).

[z00h]

I think I'll stick with the current set. It's like a really annoying lottery, the 2nd set wasn't buzzing as much but it had so much banding I couldn't stand looking at it.

I wish there was a viable alternative.

[ianeb]

Has there been a guide of some sort on how to calibrate this set with a downloaded program?

I would like to try calibration and may also update to 1019 as the heat coming out if this thing is beyond a joke!

Just started my update I was running 1007!! Now going to 1019... I know there are some issues with brightness but I'm not too concerned

Can you just try summat for me and report back ?.

Make sure 10 PT WB is off.
Use 'Auto' colour Space.
Cell 17.
Contrast 87.
Have 2 PT WB at default 25 except >

Red-Gain - 20
Green-Gain - 27
Blue-Gain - 23.

Let me know how that looks if you can be bothered .

Helps a little but not a lot in it, hardly notice anything.

Should have made a difference, Are you watching the Olympics as you may not notice much with that. Was watching (well mrs was) the Yachting earlier and basically the whole scene was Blue .

Its difficult to advise mate as mr Dads 51" is on 1016 and i have adjusted a lot in the SM on mine so no use giving you my settings,

Whats your main issue now ?,

Me lol Im still happy with the set it just seems closer to LCD than the Panasonic's I had though the clear blue tint was mainly noticeable with the BBC Olympic studio. Don't forget Im also sitting too close for now, I need to get setup in my next house with a cal before I decide if I want to replace it....thinking of going bigger too lol

Lol, Wow Another World Record for vWomens Cycling , Opps sorry ,
My Dads is All default WB as is not far out ny eye to be fair. My set needed Red-Gain of just 3 to get it inline , I altered this in the SM along with some other bits n bobs so i did not have to use such a negative in the User Menu.

My 50" scoobs (whoops , 59") at 8-10 feet is perfect although i could drag me chair in a lot closer for 3D , Which i love by the way .

Happy Days ... Did i just say that... ....

Doh, 59" i meant ... , Must be the Adrenaline or the Wine

[ianeb]

Panman can I trouble you for some advice!?

I just wanted to know what calibration software to use, I'm quite a noob! I have read a lot about downloading and putting it on disc or USB stick...

I have just updated to 1019, happy so far as buzz has lessened and seems to be running cooler.

I have looked at all this years upgrade options and to be honest I don't think there is a huge leap forward in terms of PQ. So I would really like to squeeze the best out of this set as it is a great TV.

Thanks in advance

Has anyone got a pair of Xpand 104's? Are they any good?

I hate the Samsung 3D glasses that I bought (4100's) the lenses are too small and they are uncomfortable.

I liked the 3100's and for £9.99 I may just get some of those! I do really like the look of the Xpands though, £70 is a bit steep for 3d glasses though!

its well dear, i have the 3100 and 4100 and 3050s, the 3100 are great for blocking side light, but i think the 3050 and 4100 have slight better colour rendition(have seen this is due to having frame all the way around the glass)
the 3300 are great as the rechargable.
