I needed to exchange my 47la6200 and was considering the 47la6900 instead but since I watch a lot of DARK movies was wondering la6200 DIRECT LIT or la6900 EDGE LIT w/local dimming? thx

The 47la6900 is possibly the best TV I have ever seen. The quality of the TV matches any movie you can imagine, I would recommend this TV to everyone. i have it in my home now and will never consider another TV other than this one!

Not to be rude but Hank really doesn't know what he is talking about. First point: " Both LED and LCD televisions can have 120 hz, 240hz, and even 480 hz and in this case both tv's are 120 hz. Refresh rates are the same so "clarity" from refresh rates will be identical. Second: He says he will never buy a "straight up lcd tv." that's ok but he says he will buy one with LED or LED/LCD. Unless he is looking at a 4inch screen, they will all be LCD backlit withe LEDs. oLED technology in TV's is years away. My thoughts: Both these TV's have their ups and downs. The 630 is thicker and more power hungry but will have a more uniform picture (which if you are in low light situations is better). The 6300 LED/LCD is slim, "cool", better contrast ratio, green, (more expensive) BUT (and a big but) will be brighter around the edges than the center. This is the problem with "budget" LED/LCDs. Most edge lit LED/LCD TVs have this problem. To avoid it and get the best of both worlds one would need to buy one with Local Dimming. This is where the LEDs are placed behind the entire screen, not just the edges. It is a true difference maker. Not that the prices for TV's with Local Dimming are substantially higher (unless you buy the new outstanding Vizio models). Either way, if you don't mind spending a little more and getting a little less with picture uniformity, go with the 6300.

I will setting mine up with a dimmer pack for the first time in a couple days. What software are you using? Im running QLS on one system and Freestyler on another.

I originally purchased multiple types/brands of LED units for different rooms which have different lighting. It only took a couple days before we decided the performance and quality of the Starpower LED units was exactly what we were looking for. We replaced all of the other units with these and could not be happier. The 2700K output (color) matched our regular flood bulbs exactly. Could not be happier with them.I was surprised to see how far the dimming goes down (and there is no humming sound from these units). As for your question, 5% would be about right if you asked me.

My unit dims pretty well, It doesnt bother me at night, however, its not OEM dim. You can also turn off the screen if its that troubling

I own the UN55B8500 and the picture is fantastic. DO NOT buy an edge lit set to achieve 3D. Early adopters will pay through the nose for 3D with minimum viewing material available. Edge lit will sacrifice picture quality.Wait for the full local dimming led technology with 3D. Wait one year to 18 months and there will be plenty of inventory with both features and the prices will start to come down. Both Samsung and LG will have sets soon with both features. Worth the wait and if you can wait a little longer prices will come down.

Definitely use the 26W unit. You may experience poor dimming operation at only half rated load on the 48W unit. I am using the 26W unit with only 10-12W load and it only dims to about 25% on a regular dimmer.

I would chose the 60* option. The LED lights do not have as wide of a field of light as a halogen light. The amp draw is low so you can add more lights to compensate.

Go to www.avsforum.com. Samsung leds are all edge lit and they all have really bad uniformity problems. Only the b8500 and a950 have local dimming.

the lumens was the only diff i was able to see. so i went ahead and purchased the 725hd. it's great, you don't any more brightness than what the 725hd has. nice clear picture in day or night.

Use "Movie" mode, although it is darker than the others it gives you the best results in a dark room and allows for the quickest adjustment to proper calibration. These are my settings for my PS3/Blu Ray player (my HD Cable is slightly brighter) Oh and I strongly recommend you SHUT OFF Auto Motion Plus, it causes a soap opera effect and creates the illusion the picture is moving faster than normal. Color Temp: Warm 2 Backlight:7-10 depending on your preference Brightness:47 Contrast:95 Color:45 Sharpness:5 Tint:G49/R51 White Balance Settings: Red Offset: 28 Green Offset: 25 Blue Offset: 16 Red Gain: 25 Green Gain: 25 Blue Gain: 21 I like these settings and I got them from a credible source. Ultimately it is up to the viewer, and everyone has different preferences. I would advise a lower backlight setting for a few reasons. It is set high at the factory so the TV looks better next to it's competitors in store, and second it consumes more power and will shorten your TV's life span (will burn out faster). Play around with these settings and find what works for you. Hope this helps.

We have not used C-L dimmers with that driver. The Lutron Diva (DV-600P) and Ariadni ( AY-600P) dimmers have dimmed it with no problems.

I used a lyton electronic LED dimmer. Works perfect I would imagine the old triac dimmers would not work well . . .

Hi! No matter what angle or what dimmer setting - I can't read the display. It seems that the back lighting is too bright and everything is lit. Instead of 8:30 like the picture on the left here says... my clock reads 8:88

My calibrated setting below produced a fantastic picture:Backlight: 80Contrast: 78Brightness: 56Color: 39Tint: -3Sharpness: 25All video processing like smooth motion, auto brightness off.Smart Dimming: OnTempest 790 put in a review in June of 2013 and this was his settings. I followed them and then made slight adjustments to fit our viewing. But, They as he left them are great.Hope this helps in your setup.

My personal thought would be to go with the "whiter" 3000k. If you put a dimmer on the switch, it really won't be an issue as the brightness will be adjustable.
