Samsung's ultra thin (1.2" depth) LED TV LCD TV is made possible by LED backlighting from the edges of the screen. Another advantage of light emitting diode (LED) illumination is that it uses 40 percent less power than conventional LCD TVs. The stylish Touch of Color Design features a piano black bezel that fades into chrome and finishes with light ruby highlights all supported on a Crystal Neck Swivel Stand.
The full 1080p resolution screen is complimented by a dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1 and AutoMotion Plus 120Hz processing that reduces blur and enhances image detail when viewing fast motion scenes.
With a VGA input for your computer and two USB 2.0 inputs for playing a variety of formats that go beyond photos and include movies, the UN40B6000 is an all-purpose entertaintment display. It includes SRS TruSurround HD, immersive audio created from the TV's two speakers.

Comments about Samsung UN40B6000 40" 1080p Series 6 LED TV:
This is a beautiful television, there's no doubt about it. It's well reviewed by the leading experts and you tell see why once you see the picture quality. The only picture issue which I have noticed at all is that the transition between brighter and dimmer LED backlighting can sometimes be perceptible (though only barely so).
I remain unconvinced by the 120hz functionality which, even to the extent it actually improves picture quality, can be a little jarring and has a sort of HD camcorder feel about it. Your preferences in that respect will probably match your expectations about what constitutes 'good' picture quality. In any event, you can switch that feature off and I have.
This model lacks the internet connectivity of the 7000 series and more recent releases. However, if you're likely to connect another device, such as a games console, I don't think you will miss those features (you can stream Netflix through the PS3, for example) and you can save yourself a couple of hundred dollars.
The clearest downside is the weak (but not outright terrible) sound quality. You will probably want to pair the TV with a decent set of speakers for a home cinema.
Otherwise, the quality of the TV is outstanding and I would recommend the television to a prospective purchaser.

This is a great TV. It is placed in our living room. The picture is excellent especially in HD. It runs on full 1080p. The sound is good. It reads DivX format from an external hardrive. You can watch movie by just using a USB device.

Best picture I've ever seen on a TV. Looks even better in our house than in the store. Just plug and play. Awesome!

We bought ours for the look, and are not dissapointed. We haven't upgraded to HD/Blueray yet, but we needed to replace our 10 yr old 25" CRT. The poor signal quality of some channels is amplified on this set, which is a bit of a bummer, but that's our bad for running standard cable and DVDs on it!

I originally did not plan to spend this much on a TV; however, after reading reviews I decided to go with the Samsung UN40B6000, it was money well spent. The picture quality is excellent and in spite of the speakers being on the back of the unit the sound is quite good.
The only thing that can be improved is the instruction/set-up manual.

Comments about Samsung UN40B6000 40" 1080p Series 6 LED TV:
FANTASTIC picture quality even without HD! Sleek design and stand! Love the lite up remote! Everyone complians about the sound but what they dont say is that the speaker is in the back. So yeah the sound is going to sound a little muffled! But it's fine. The only somewhat neg thing is that if you were trying to assemble the TV alone it is a little heavy. But overall I LOVE THIS TV!! TOTALLY WORTH IT!!
