Samsung UNH6350 - Mid-priced Samsung puts design, smarts first

2014-05-02
david katz man from cnet here standing next to one of samsung's mid-range tvs for 2014 this is the UNH 6350 series this set doesn't have 3d or a fancy remote or any of the extra features found on some of the step-up models but then again it's pretty value priced one of the things that I really like about this set though for the price it's excellent design if you look at it it really looks like it's almost all picture the bezel is only point 3 inches wide around the top and sides so it really kind of disappears into the background the bottom is a little bit thicker and it's got a little strip of chrome hear the TV sits atop Samsung's patented spider stand it's got a nice swivel to it this TV is available in sizes from 75 down to 32 inches the very largest TV doesn't have the swivel stand in there a little bit bigger but again this is a really wide range of sizes for this TV series as a mid range set this TV includes samsung's full smart TV suite that includes a quad-core processor and the best selection of apps on any TV that includes HBO Go and a whole bunch of other apps including games Samsung is touting games a little bit more than usual this year it does include a dedicated panel in the smart TV suite for that the suite itself is a little more complicated than some of the others out there namely LG's webOS system although in a nod to simplicity when you hit the Smart TV button this year pops a little band with some of your best used apps and then you have to click again to get into the main system this TV can also control your cable box the idea is to kind of replace the EPG and the rest of the on screen displays of your cable box with Samsung's own system it works marginally well but there is some delays when you doubt those signals through the TV into the cable box and if you do a lot of DVR and it's really not the best way to control that I'd stick with your standard cable box remote around back there's plenty of connectivity including 4 HDMI a component video input and three USB ports so it also has built-in Wi-Fi now this price level this TV is mainly about the design and the features picture quality is not that great the real weakness here is black levels as TV doesn't get quite as deep as some of the competitors at this price range are even less expensive on the flip side we did appreciate its accurate color solid video processing and very good bright room picture so all told is just average picture quality not great but again at this price range you can do a little bit better that's a quick look at Samsung's UNH 6350 series of mid-range 7 2014 I'm new house plans
