samsung 6 series

Among the classical Samsung LCD TV series, this is the upper mid-range. Here, again, the series includes a number of sub-series. The B 620 series offers the cheapest of the Korean manufacturer's TVs with 100-hertz technology. The tuner accepts DVB-T and DVB-C (both also in high definition), and a USB port allows playback of photos and music. The screens have Full HD resolution and, from September onward, are also supposed to support CI Plus. Again, the only way to tell if a model is of the new type is to check the exact model number: Instead of "WWXXC", it should end in "WPXXC".

Samsung LCD LE 40 B 620, 40 inches (102 cm), 700 GBP
Samsung LCD LE 46 B 620, 46 inches (117 cm), 940 GBP
Samsung LCD LE 52 B 620, 52 inches (132 cm), 1,430 GBP

Samsung's B 650 series combines some more unusual screen sizes. In fact, the series' features even vary from one model to another. The 19- and 22-inch models only have 50-hertz technology, 1,366 x 768 pixels resolution, and - apart from a digital tuner for cable and terrestrial signals - no fancy extras.

The models with a screen-diagonal of 32 inches or more provide a significantly richer set of features. 100 Hz Motion Plus aims to display moving objects precisely, and the USB and network connections allow the TVs to play back a multitude of multimedia file-types. Additionally, the devices can access internet services from Samsung and its partner Yahoo. This autumn, the tuners will gain CI Plus support - the new model numbers will have "WP" instead of "WW".

In some European markets there is a "B 651" version of the series, with a transparent-red frame, as well as a B 652 series with no multimedia technology. In red, the latter is known as the B 653.
