RE: Clouding (and btw, NOT an issue on our Sony LED)

Skin tones haven't been a problem with the LED 40 incher I'm about to send back. I also found the "skin tone" adjustment to work perfectly, unlike a lot who have criticized it. If skin tones ever look unnaturally pale, adding a bit of that fixes it; almost makes it look like the over ripe "sony look" re flesh tones. The reds even look over ripe and one dimensional on the 55 and 65 inch "4k" displays I have seen. The detail is mind-blowing, though. 4k is the future, where 3D may be yet another fad that has begun to fade.

So far (besides the obvious problem with the motion color artifacts on black subjects)...the only thing I (realistically) wish this 5000 tv (that I'm returning) had, is a finer increment to the adjustment of the color temperature. I suspect no tv has this, unless it's available via a service menu.

I have browsed the avs forum many times. Never said you had to be a member to browse, not sure where you got the idea that I thought you had to be a member to browse. But I need to join it so I can post my own question about the two TV's I mention in my initial post of this thread.

I'm leaning toward the Samsung 6300; it does look very good for the money. The backlight technique looks a lot more even than on this 5000 series, and also the pixels seem a lot sharper and higher in contrast...as if the transparent layer of the panel is clearer. It basically looks like the pixels are on the surface, similar to what a good plasma tv looks like (almost like the old Pioneer Elite plasmas, but not quite). Of course it does get a bit dimmer off axis, where a typical plasma tv does not.
