My Samsung 5686 looked great at Fry's; got it home and cannot stomach the picture. Every blue and green glows like it was painted with a kids paintbox. But as far as your shopping goes, the glass reflects light horribly, it cannot be watched during the daytime. So ask the seller if you can see it in daylight, not the darkened Best Buy showroom.
Follow Ups:
Several professional reviewers have noted this, as well-it's a hyper-reality, somewhat cartoonish look. Gamers would enjoy it, and the Pixar films look amazing-but I prefer a more natural look.
Those cartoons look great.
my '04 Sony CRT RPTV has assorted video modes including an enhanced mode that brightens and intensifies all colors up plus a standard mode, plus assorted other modes such as a theater mode with more laid back color still.
I can't believe ths Samsung would not have some pretty sophisticated means to fine tune the color settings as well either one color parameter at a time or from a menu of choices with names or both.I have the settings of my front projector very different for how they were originally in an effort to make blacks as dark as possible as well as give me colors similar to what I see at weekly outings to a favorite theater, not more nor less intense.
But like a speaker that produces overemphasized mid-bass, gaudy flat panel colors attract showroom attention. I think you need to carefully calibrate the Samsung and I would bet there is nothing in terms of color intensity you are somehow stuck with.
There was another picture setting in the setup section called "film mode" that was on. Off, the colors faded into normal, VERY GOOD picture now. Another Duilawyer false alarm (se my McIntosh 275 panic on amps). I think it comes from growing up poor.
I highly recommend a professional calibration by a trained ISF technician to make the display realize all that it is capable of.
