Samsung TVs have this (forced) DNIe technology which makes colors look a lot richer, but the cost is more contrast. The tech also enhances the white so things are brighter, but of course because of contrast the darks will be that much darker.
They started including a "game mode" in the setup menu that adjust the settings just for game playing, but I think ive tweaked the Brightness Contrast to produce a better balance that takes advantage of the DNIe tech and keeps the contrast under control.
I BASED ALL MY TESTS ON STARGATE ATLANTIS, which has some interesting lightning in a few episodes. HOWEVER, the very few complaints leveled against Samsung TVs usually revolve around their color enhancement tech since nullifying the MINOR drawbacks requires a little bit of work. My old Samsung EDTV had the same issue for different reasons so its old hat to me lol.
The TV does 720p and 1080i. 1080i works fine in most situations but faster games like doa4 don't seem to jive with it. TVC pointed out it was a launch game, and to be fair, R6 CAN get fast at times too and I have no problem at all with it in 1080i. However, I have trouble telling the difference between the two anyway. It sorta reminds me of the jump from s-video to component in terms of color representation vs the jump from composite to s-video. Im sure there's an improvement buts I cant seeeeez it.
ALSO CALL OF DUTY 3 OMG OMG OMG R6 OMG OMG OMG.
It looks like hooking it up to a PC is easy so I am considering maybe sneaking my small pc into the entertainment center and watch itunes in the living room lol. Or get the wallmount so I can feel rich even tho im not.
