Official Samsung UNXXD6000 Owners' Thread - Page 53

My question is: Is the 60i the resolution being displayed? Shouldn't it be at least 720? HDMI2 has a PS3 connected to it and it shows 1920x1080/60p. I've checked the Samsung manual for setting and the DRV settings and as far as I can tell, they are set correctly. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Not really worried about 3d but mostly the video quality for every day tv use from watching movies to news etc. I plan to see them this weekend but any comments or advise or opinion regarding these two tv's would be great. Thank you!

(If someone has technical details to support this theory please post the URL)

With that said there is one HDMI port called ARC (Audio Return Channel) #2 on the Sammy 6000. You would want to use this port if you connect a Receiver to the TV. However, this has nothing to do with PQ. Also only a 1.4 High Speed HDMI cable supports the Audio Return Channel Function. Here is a description of the ARC function: http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/arc.aspx
"The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data upstream to an A/V receiver or surround audio controller, increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection."

Also, HDMI # 1 supports both HDMI and DVI for those that might have an older DVI standard component and need to use a DVI to HDMI cable--but again I don't think this would alter the PQ for an HDMI connection.

The information displayed is telling you the resolution is 1920x1080i and the signal received from the source, you Dish receiver, is 60Hz which is the standard in the U.S. So that is all correct and nothing is wrong with the set. The t.v. is taking the 60Hz signal and inserting frames to create a 120Hz end result.

If the information shown was "1920x720/60" the resolution would be "1920x720i".

The PS3 is reporting 60P Hz because it is passing BluRay. If you go to a PPV movie channel that is showing a 1080P movie the "info" would reflect same.

I'm sure others will come along to comment on, add to, or correct/clarify what I've said.

Hope this helps.

YEP! I was amazed but I guess loyalty pays off at ABC... Got my last three HD sets there including this one.

Box and Receipt both say Samsung UN55D6000SF

P.S. Still looking for some advice on my MKV Audio dropping on this Unit. Happens through both "Video" and "AllShare" Icon playback...

Maybe the Codex on the TV?

I've stumbled upon a setting on my Sammy 6000 that eliminates all my flash-lighting--albeit at a cost to the overall PQ.

As I have already written about in this forum--my October build Sammy 6000 displays significant flash-lighting from both bottom corners. So much so that I also see the flash-lighting corners on dark/black scenes while watching content from any source. I tried increasing the ambient light in the room, and I tried loosening the TV frame screws on the back of the TV neither of which have worked in my case.

Today I turned on the ECO Sensor and experimented with low, mid, high. With the ECO sensor set at high, this setting eliminates the flash-lighting 100%. The medium setting a little less and the low setting just a bit. However, the result of the Eco Sensor set to high is a dark screen. Likewise the ECO sensor when turned on seems to disable the bright screen setting--so I was not able to counter-balance the dark effects of the Eco senor.

I've tried a couple of the different settings recommended in this forum, for my eyes I keep going back to Redwolf4k's "Standard" setting. However no matter who's settings recommendations I apply so far even the "calibrated settings" by Nutdotnet, while they get me great PQ my set still suffers from the flash-lights.

Anybody out there have any other suggestions on how best to counter-balance the dark effects of the ECO Sensor setting (which eliminates the flash-lights on my TV) with the overall "dark screen" effect produced by the ECO Sensor?

Thanks for reading...

I bought this set from BB also and replaced the first one because of the same problem you have , this second tv is ALoT better.., I am still debating if I am keeping it or not, is for my media room to hold me over until the Sammy 65" 3d comes down. Going to Frys today and see what they have.

Avoid any settings where people use "dark" black level, etc, as they are clipping details and didn't use test patterns to create there settings.

The SECOND set of settings (the "Standard" mode ones) are what I use 99% of the time and they look stunning. The out of the box standard settings are too dynamic and harsh.

Enjoy!


For Critical Movie viewing, and conforming to the Motion Picture Standard:


Picture mode: Movie
Backlight: 12 (dark room backlight 10) (see above explanation for adjustment advice)
Contrast: 85
Brightness: 44 (ensures video black is as deep as possible while maintaining full shadow detail)
Sharpness: 20 (sure, 0 introduces no enhancement, but it creates an out of focus appearance you don't experience at the movie theatre. 20 is actually quite realistic)
Color: 48 (balanced)
Tint: 50/50

Advanced
Black tone: off
Dynamic contrast: off
Shadow detail: +2
Gamma: 1
Color space: Auto (confusing with the name "Auto", but this is the color gamut that aligns with Rec 709)
White balance: off
Flesh tone: 0
Edge enhancement: on
Motion lighting: off
Led motion plus: off

Picture options:
Color tone: warm 2
Digital noise filter: off
Mpeg noise filter: off
HDMI Black level: low
Film mode: auto 2 (or greyed out)
Auto motion plus: Clear or Off

System
Eco sensor: off



Now here is a second set of settings, and this is an option for those who simply want to see how well this set can perform OUTSIDE of the standards used in motion picture and television. These settings will look stunning with animation both hand drawn and computer generated, and look stunning with video games.

For the most visually stunning performance of the set outside the Motion Picture standard (without clipping any details):



Picture mode: Standard
Backlight: 12 (see above explanation for adjustment advice)
Contrast: 85
Brightness: 45
Sharpness: 35 (the default 50 is WAY to high, and causes many problems, including enhancing noise)
Color: 50 (slight over saturation, no clipping)
Tint: 50/50

Advanced
Black tone: off
Dynamic contrast: Medium (wont clip dark detail through its dynamic range paired with brightness @ 45)
Shadow detail: -2 (one of my favorite features, if it doesn't bother you, ensures your contrast stays great in dark scenes)
Gamma: 0
Color space: Native (the tamed green and slightly enhanced red of this Samsung created color gamut pairs very well with the Warm 1 overly blue color temp. Appears very balanced to the eye, although does not conform to the standard for motion picture. Sand, sunlight and skin will appear more realistic)
White balance: off
Flesh tone: 0
Edge enhancement: on
Motion lighting: off
Led motion plus: off

Picture options:
Color tone: warm 1 ("standard" color temp was way to blue. Warm 1 improves matters. Although still overly blue, it does not wash out colors with a radically blue grayscale.)
Digital noise filter: off
Mpeg noise filter: off
HDMI Black level: low
Film mode: auto 2 (or greyed out)
Auto motion plus: Clear

System
Eco sensor: off
