Samsung UN55C6500 Review: 55” LED LCD HDTV

Up for Review: Samsung UN55C6500 LED LCD TV. Samsung has released this stupendous 55-inch wonder with the hope of wooing the consumers who are looking out for the best in technology but are hesitating to go in for the 3D models. It has made sure that the other main features like the Internet@TV including the Samsung Apps are intact. Together with the 55-inch screen, your whole living room will be transformed into a visual treat where you can get a variety of information beginning from news and sports to what is the latest in Madonna’s life. Watching all this on a 55-inch screen will be enough to keep you rooted to your seats. It looks like it is fast going to replace the computer as far as accessing the Internet is concerned.

Although Internet access was also available in the models last year, yet the feature was severely criticized because it did not live up to expectations. This year, Samsung seems to have done their home work and are determined to put the rear-panel Ethernet port to good use. A plethora of online content providers like Accuweather.com, The Associated Press, Netflix, Twitter, Pandora provide the latest in weather, news, movies, music and even personal engagements via Internet widgets. There are a host of other providers too which give you complete entertainment like Blockbuster, Vudu, YouTube, the Travel Channel, USA Today, Flickr, Rovi and many more.
