The sharp television is very sharp, but there are distortions sometimes in commercials and other programming. Not all, just some. The images look cartoonish. If you do not want your pictures to look like Soap Operas you should go with a 60hz. The sound leaves a lot to be desired as well on the Sharp. Not sure about sound on Samsung's. With Sharp you must consider adding a sound bar or other speakers.

I can only say we are so happy with the sharp that we bought 3 of them a 40 ,52 and 60 in all have beautiful pictures if that helps with your decision .

I bought the Sharp for my son. The sound was weaker, but according to him, that is the price we pay for the thinner TVs. I also bought a Samsung Smart TV for my house. Both have the same problem. He solved the problem on his with a sound bar. I just turn mine up high. I will probably add speakers to mine eventually.

I think you can't go wrong with Samsung and Sharp, but I have no experience with the TLC brand. I think the deciding factor would be the price. Also, whichever TV you do decide to purchase, you can always add on external speakers or headphones, so sound shouldn't be an issue.

I actually deliver these tvs for amazon all day long. i have delivered and set up all the brands from the Samsungs to the Sharps to the Toshibas to the Pioneer. I have seen and operated all of the tvs, including the very heavy 60inch plasmas. First it deends on what ur using your tv for. The plasmas are very nice but do have a glare during the daylight or any light for that matter. my personal favorite along with 85% of the tvs i deliver are the Samsungs. Let let me tell u a secret. If you have no intentions on up grading your cable to HD and switching all your components to an HDMI plug it really wont matter what you buy the picture will not be as crisp as that with an HDMI. And the larger the TV honestly the further back you need to be. A 52inch tv is huge for just about any room. Samsung is very user friendly and the remote is simple to operate. Plasmas are the heavier and more sensitive tv. Samung is a great tv along with sony bravia and followed by the Sharp, Toshibas are just okay. They just dont look as classy as the othr three and not as simple to use. This is just my opinion, but like i say I deliver and set up these tvs all day long for Amazon.

Thanks for the advice Walker! I called 6th ave and told them about the price difference. The lady was very nice and put me on hold for a couple mins. Came back and said that they will price match for me! Again, thanks for the advice.Chedfred,I had actually done quite a bit of research on this TV and the customer service was one of the supposed high points. I will def have to check into this. However, you can't beat this TV for the price so I hope that the service is at least usable.Leonard

I think they are both excellent tvs. I was deciding between the 2 models, and finalized my choice when I checked them out at the store. I went with the Sony 40v4100.

yeah dont get this tv my friends has it. the problem with it is fuzzy picture. i did a comparison with my own 1080p Lns-4095d samsung tv. Even though my tv is relatively older it didnt have fuzzy pic. Also note that both were using hdmi cable. however the LN-T5265F did not want to swtich to a 1080p resolution. everytime we did it got static. also note that all tests were done using a ps3. I recommned a Samsung however not this one.

Guy's,I need a little advice. I know nothing about LCD TV's. I'm moving into a house and ran into a guy that wants to sell a Samsung 40" 4061. The TV has been siting in his bedroom and is hardly used as he watches a bigger set in the living room. The set looks and works great and he's asking $500 for it. I think the set is several years old. Does anyone out there have any advice on buying this?Anything to look for? Is this a good price on a set with prices coming down this Christmas?Thanks for any input,Rudy

Jonathan,Which model did you end up going with? I was super interested in this TV, but it apparently doesn't support 1080i, which is no good for my Xbox 360. Also, does anyone know what the difference is between the older model (32HL67) and this one (32HL67U, "U" indicating a newer iteration)?

I have the fifty five inch. We got it for a great price at walmart. We were hesistant at first. But its a great tv. I recommend hisense. A lot of people have never heard of the brand which makes it seem like you shouldn't buy it. We have had it for about five months. We use it often and the color is great. Picture volume appearance is great.

Not sure if you missed my review, but this TV is very bad quality... and again there is always the 1% chance I got a bad unit, but that seems to be too much of a coincidence for a super cheap tv. I have ps3, xbox360 and now PS4 and when I hooked them up the TV still looked awful, so I got the 60" samsung smart tv instead, and its INCREDIBLE. It was like 300 more or something but so worth it. Wait til Black Friday and get something good! Dont cheap out, thats my only advice.

Samsung has its own special 'clear motion rate' that they use to determine the hz level. Other companys do it to with their own wording. Basically in short its like saying....samsungs proprietary image processor provides a smoother and cleaner image than the general old school version or knockoff brand and that being said lends the image to look like its 120hz. When combined with the led backlit technology and the panels 60hz refresh rate its basically equivalent to the modern day 120hz models. I have 4 HDTVs and I can tell you that there is a huge difference between samsung and other brands. This particular tv I have hooked up straight to the cable so I don't even get the luxury's of having crystal clear HDTV you get from having a cable box with HDTV features. I have the brightness turned down all the way to 0 as well lol since its in a bedroom with blacked out curtains. The TV is solid the apps are solid and the fact that samsung is working on an adapter to constantly update the smart features is awesome. The only down side is that this is the start of a new erra. OLED is going to be the norm. Google it for more info but basically your going to get deeper blacks with it because your turning LEDs off not hiding them. For what its worth its an awesome low end smart TV with solid features, images, HDMI! hello-3 i think thats more than my 65" samsung has. Keeping it at 40 inches is a good small-med sized room TV, my recommendation is to get a 46" if you want it for a medium sized room and is you want a living room TV go 55". I regret my 65" purchase - to big. Streatches pixels and makes mediocre cable look terrible because you see every flaw. Hope this helps, if not feel free to ask another question I have no problem providing info/answers to any questions.

Not to hijack your thread but I'm kind of in the same situation. I want to get a TV for Bluray but am not sure to wait or buy now.Also, is the extra 150$ worth it from the 61 to 65 model? The only difference I can see is the 5,000 point difference in Contrast Ratio, is that worth the extra money?Thanks.

hi, i have a similar size room, tried 26, 32 , and 37 inch. 32 is best. one thing not talked about often is, there's also a minimum viewing distance for these tvs, esp. 720p. any closer, you see the pixels, any noise in the image, etc. with a hq tv like samsung, sony, sharp, my experiments indicate for a 32" around 5 feet is about as close as i'd want to go. anything else, i'd have to go to 1080p (the sharp 32" aquos 1080p model is great up to 3 feet, but more $$). btw, right now you can pick up a samsung LN-T3242H at circuit city for $720 if you're a AAA member (you need to go to www.aaa.com/circuitcity to get a coupon code). this model is a level down from the 3253H but i picked one up yesterday and so far it seems pretty good to me. you can read about both models on amazon. good luck.

I completely agree with Stick Boy's views. You need to choose based on your needs. I went with G10 because CNET rated it as the new king of Plasma and the price was right for me. Also, the internet connectivity was a plus, so was the brightness of the TV and the fact that it is among the top 5 best selling TVs on Amazon. I didn't research S1, but chose G10 over a Samsung LN46B650.

My subjective opinion is based on a pretty simple observation. I've looked at and compared both sets at Sears and at Best Buy and the Samsung had the best picture quality by far. In fact at as little as 5 feet away I had a difficult time seeing any difference between the model in question and several other 1080p models hanging next to it. I know a lot depends upon the quality of video feed the stores are using for the demo models on display. This is only my opinion and I know that can vary greatly for the person to person. So, take it for what its worth. Hopefully others can add their observations to the discussion. My subjective opinion is based on a pretty simple observation.

Not to be rude but Hank really doesn't know what he is talking about. First point: " Both LED and LCD televisions can have 120 hz, 240hz, and even 480 hz and in this case both tv's are 120 hz. Refresh rates are the same so "clarity" from refresh rates will be identical. Second: He says he will never buy a "straight up lcd tv." that's ok but he says he will buy one with LED or LED/LCD. Unless he is looking at a 4inch screen, they will all be LCD backlit withe LEDs. oLED technology in TV's is years away. My thoughts: Both these TV's have their ups and downs. The 630 is thicker and more power hungry but will have a more uniform picture (which if you are in low light situations is better). The 6300 LED/LCD is slim, "cool", better contrast ratio, green, (more expensive) BUT (and a big but) will be brighter around the edges than the center. This is the problem with "budget" LED/LCDs. Most edge lit LED/LCD TVs have this problem. To avoid it and get the best of both worlds one would need to buy one with Local Dimming. This is where the LEDs are placed behind the entire screen, not just the edges. It is a true difference maker. Not that the prices for TV's with Local Dimming are substantially higher (unless you buy the new outstanding Vizio models). Either way, if you don't mind spending a little more and getting a little less with picture uniformity, go with the 6300.

Hi Jasmany, If you click on my name, I believe you should be able to look up my reviews. The review I posted of this TV has listed what seem to be the best overall settings for viewing. There are quite a few different settings to get it good, but it's worth the effort. If you like what it looks like after setting it up, please be sure to click that little "yes" button on my review so others can find the review easier. Any other questions, just ask! Enjoy the TV! I love mine!!
