The result is a more detailed image with greater contrast. It's the type of feature we normally turn off, never to be seen again but it works well on this TV.
We felt the picture overall showed better 3-dimensionality with the Micro Dimming Pro feature on. The Micro Dimming Pro feature is found through the Smart LED settings in the picture menu. Only top plasma TVs will beat the F7500 in color performance.
Overall color is very well balanced and saturated and the Movie mode is set very close to D6500K right out of the box. From up-converted content color and light flow is much better than other TVs on the market – one of the reasons this is a premium model. Color Performance – ExcellentĬolors can really pop on the 55F7500 for an LED TV, though they can get hazy if the backlight is set too high. In testing against the LG LA7400 and Panasonic ST60 plasma, this TV was our winner in overall picture quality. Dark shadow detail is impressive as well. Blacks are deep even when other areas of the screen are bright. Black levels and contrast are two other strong points of picture quality on the UN55F7500. In-picture Light flow (areas of the on screen picture that show lights, or sunlight streaming into images) is the best of any TV you will find on the market except the tier 1 F8000. The clear coat, rich black screen and the high quality edge lighting LEDs allow for colors to pop and give a real sense of depth when viewing HD quality source material. The super thin bezel and curved stand really play into the floating image illusion. The design of the TV it as eye catching as it is pleasing. Contrast is impressive on this one with the best black level performance. Samsung's F7500 stands out when it comes to picture quality and design. All the sets are feature heavy with smart TV suites, high refresh rates, and top notch picture quality. The UN55F7500 is going to get a lot of competition from LG and Panasonic in the 55 inch class.

On the other hand, even if you don't partake in the 3D experience, the PN51D490 produces excellent 1080p 2D images and is not much more expensive than many 2D LED/LCD sets. Of course, you will need to purchase 3D glasses to enjoy the show. Although the effect is not as precise as it is from content specifically produced in 3D, the conversion process does add depth to 2D images. Not only does the PN51D490 LED/LCD TV enable you to watch 3D Blu-ray Discs from a 3D-enabled Blu-ray Disc player, but the PN51D490 also features built-in real-time 2D-to-3D conversion.
