I am torn between the Sharp 70-inch (LC-70LE650U) and Samsung 65-inch (UN65F6300). Other than size, why one or other?

It's hard for me to give you an answer since there were more variables that went into my decision to buy the 65f6300. If you want bigger size for a cheaper price then go with the Sharp. If you have more specific questions about the Samsung, such as picture quality and screen uniformity then let me know.

I don't know how much help I can be but I'll give it a shot. I bought the Samsung because I own a Samsung LCD 46" bought in '08. I was quite happy with that TV so I stuck with the Samsung brand. I really think the 46" has a better picture than the 65" LED. Could be because of a consequential loss of picture clarity that comes with larger screen sizes. The UN65 has a dual core processor but if you're really into "smart," I recommend the quad core (more money of course). I subscribe to NFL game replays and they won't load well (and therefore can't view) with the dual core; I have to use my quad core computer. I think the UN has a really reasonable price, but you generally get what you pay for (as the old saying goes). Bottom line . . . I like the UN65 but, at the same time, I am a little disappointed. The only way you'll ever know is to look at them side-by-side and remember, showrooms do not have real-life broadcasts (in most instances) so when you get one home, your picture may not be a great as in the showroom. Hope this helps somewhat and good luck!

The picture clarity and "crisp-ness" of the Samsung is much better than the Sharp brand regardless of size. If you go to a store where you can look at the TVs in person you will see that immediately Samsung has the clearest picture by far. I always go to a store before buying a TV and then order them on Amazon for the better price.

Guess what. Sharp is a major supplier of panels to Samsung. Which means your 6300 most likely has a Sharp panel display. Google it.

The Sharp 70" 2D tv has 3 model numbers (LC-70LE732U, LC-70LE733U,LC-70LE734U. The larger the number, the later the model... 733 & 734 are 240Hz refresh rate. The 732 has a 120Hz refresh rate (refresh rate makes suttle movements on the screen smoother and 240Hz is better than 120Hz).

Hey I know you guys posted a couple of weeks ago, but if it helps, I have owned both the 4065 and the new LN46A650. I can tell you that the picture quality on the new series is literally leaps and bounds above the older models. I personally think that the 650 series is one of the, if not the best available lcd tv on the market today. If you do not want to spend the extra money on the new series, the 4065 is much better than the 4061, has a better processor, higher contrast ratio, brighter screen for better color saturation, etc.

I just looked at both of these tvs (I too, don't know which one to buy) at Fry's. Side by side, same type of cable and both hooked to same bluray. I and my husband couldn't tell any difference except the 55" is bigger. At Best Buy they didn't have them side by side on the wall and it didn't look as if the 55" was that much bigger. But when both are at same level on a stand you could really tell the difference. The picture quality was the same to both of us. I asked the salesman and he said unless watching sports you would not be able to tell.

I am looking at the same two televisions. Unfortunately I can't help you with your question because it's mine too! Have you made a decision yet? I am going to check with Sharp, I will post the info for you if I get anywhere. Good Luck.

I ordered the F9000 65in twice and both were damaged in route by two different carriers, so I never even received them but was refunded instead. I also did not received a UN8500 55in tv for the same reason. I might just have to buy a future tv in a store, I guess. Now, I think that I will just wait for a 75in Samsung Ultra-Dev coming out in April 2014 but will wait until the price comes down. Sorry I cannot answer your particular question.

i am debating between the same exact tv's but i think im going to choose the samsung...samsung is just better in a lot of things and the picture is supposed to be better...

The only reason I can see is that Samsung discontinued this t.v, and with the overall design is not as space efficient as any of Samsungs other dlp televisions. I have this one and also a 720p set by samsung which I bought in 10-2006. Just to let you know, Samsung also has on sale a 50" DLP 720p set for $899. I bought this one, and gave the 720p set to my parents, and to be honest with you I didnt notice a difference at all. If youre just breaking into the HD world, Id suggest getting one of the HLT models from samsung that is on sale now on amazon. You wont notice a difference, save yourself hundreds, and will less likely have problems with the set, as I and many others have with this particular model.

I've had my 52" 650 since memorial dday weekend...and coming from the video industry, it's the best screen around. For thos of you comparing the 650 vs 750 vs 850; check the technical details even at a store. I walked into the CC & BB locally and yes they were all set up side by side; but since the local store wanted to sell more 850s, it was "tuned" better. The default settings have changed including the brightness level; so when you are comparing TV screens; make sure that the identical output; down to the connection is being used and that both units are identically tuned, i.e. brightness, contrast, presets...99% of the time you will find them not to be. The best tuned TV this week will not be the one next week!

I've been researching tv's for several months and have decided on the LN46A750. The price at Amazon is unbelievable. I'm going to order one next month. Has anyone purchased the extended warranty? I hear Samsung tv's are excellent quality and wonder if I really need a warranty.

I have a total of 6 Samsung TV's. I have a 46" 7000 and a 46" 7500 that are 3 years old. 2-22" inch tvs and this summer i purchased 2 of the 50"-6400's. the 7500 primarily used for gaming (xbox360, ps4) and it is fantastic. I am extremely happy with my all of Samsung purchases. After buying the first 2 samsungs 3 years ago I have been very happy. they work well in bright sunlight and have a great picture. We rarely use the 3D feature on our Tv's but it works well. I would highly recommend samsung tvs.

I just purchased a 550 from Circuit City last week. They are one of the few stores that puts a 550 650 750 side by side. The audio on all 3 was the same, average at best. This is what I found with almost all LCD HDTV with small speakers. I bought the 550 because my eyes could see very little difference if any between the 3. Most difference was the options. The Samsung did have the best picture.

Gamble. Thanks for the reply. If you read the reviews on Amazon it seems that the reviewers seem to think the 65 model is better! I would go for the 65 as I want the best display as possible. I watch soccer and need the better fast motion that this model should display (less blurry) hope this helps. Keep in touch!Mike

I had a 22" Samsung for 6 years and it performed beautifully. When I needed a larger screen I looked at Samsung. The 40" Samsung 6400 I bought also performs beautifully. I bought the 6400 because I can receive movies and text on my Laptop and see them on the TV Screen. I know I can do it on the 6400. If this is important to you, check to see if the 6300 can do it also. Bob C

Make sure you look at the 4665 in person before buying. The picture is better than any other HDTV (imho), but the glass surface is HIGHLY reflective. If you have any lights in the area (or windows) it may be very distracting. I went with the 4661 at $1,600.
