The Edge LED technology of Samsung B6000 and B7000 has a flaw...buy at your risk!
Samsung UE40B6000VW LED LCD TV Review
Does LED lighting have the edge? Phil Hinton examines Samsung’s slimmest TV…so far!
Conclusion
If you have made it this far and just finished the last paragraph you will quite rightly assume I can’t recommend this screen for those who want the very best in picture performance – you see I can state the obvious! However that doesn’t mean that this screen won’t sell and that people won’t think it’s fantastic. Obviously, AVForums members will want the very best their money can buy, and may well have doubts about the B6000. I really wanted to like this TV and its slim design does look stunning. Indeed, it is almost a piece of contemporary art. Obviously, we would always recommend a screen that can produce accurate images to the standards for film and broadcast when properly calibrated. To watch it in any other way, is to choose your personal preference over what is defined as 'correct'. That is definitely not something we would ever recommend, but understand that there will be many that do.
With bright and vibrant images and set up in its standard mode, it will look good in a retail environment to the casual consumer. And as such it will find its market if used as just a living room work horse with freeview by a customer not looking for the ultimate in image quality or accuracy. It will do well in most homes where normal LCD screens would fit the bill and it will fulfil its promise. But this LCD TV will never look accurate due to these flaws.
The UE40B6000 is a frustrating product that is likely to split opinions over its picture attributes. On the one hand its design looks stunning, the thinness of the screen is sublime and the SD picture processing is first class. On the other, it fails to produce accurate images, (even after calibration), and it’s auto dimming with gamma shifts just causes more issues than it solves. I have never been so enthralled, yet so utterly disappointed with a display product so far in my reviewing career. It will find many new homes and sell very well, of that I have no doubt, and I would be surprised if it didn’t. And for a new technology it is also reasonably priced at £1260 online from suppliers Direct TVs. But for me and based on testing, retesting and watching hours of material, the B6000 is just too much of a compromise to recommend it to anyone looking for accurate image quality. And that’s an outcome we could have done without, because as a TV and technology statement, it should have been so much better.
Pros
-Stunning design and seriously thin!
-Plenty of added features, such as iPod connectivty
-Well designed EPG
-Menu control and layout is straight forward and well designed
-Calibration tools included as standard in main menu system
-Excellent scaling and picture processing for material
Cons
-Calibration results look good in software, but ineffective in actual control over the on screen image - hence score below, even though graphs looked ok.
-Edge LED technology is flawed with uniformity issues and auto dimming which cannot be defeated due to how the technology works
-Gamma issues across stimulus points and on screen
-Inaccurate colour and greyscale performance
-Laclustre audio performanceLast edited by Monseratto; June 1st, 2009 at 11:18 PM.

CNET review on Samsung Edge LED LCD TVs...
Samsung UN46B6000
Product summary
The good:
Produces relatively deep black levels; accurate color; very good dejudder processing; sleek styling with 1.2-inch thick panel; extensive picture controls; extremely energy-efficient.
The bad:
Expensive; less-uniform screen than other LCDs; poor off-angle viewing; backlight fluctuates with program brightness; dark areas tinged bluer; shiny screen can cause reflections in bright rooms; red frame isn't for everyone.
The bottom line:
Although it delivers fine picture quality, except for a few flaws, the ultrathin Samsung UNB6000 series will appeal mainly to style seekers who don't mind spending more money.
We're not the biggest fans of the UNB6000's fluctuating backlight, and we'd like to see a more-uniform picture for this much scratch, but otherwise its image quality leaves little to be desired. That said, numerous other HDTVs offer equal or better picture quality for less money, which makes high style and higher technology the main selling points of the UNB6000 series.
Series note: We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 46-inch Samsung UN46B6000 ($2,799), but this review also applies to the 40-inch UN40B7000 ($2,299) and the 55-inch UN55B7000 ($3,599). All three sizes share identical features and specifications.
(Editors' Note: Many elements are identical between the UNB6000 and the UNB7000 series we reviewed earlier, so readers of the earlier review may experience some deja vu when reading the same sections below.)
Features
Edge-lit LED backlighting heads the UNB6000's feature set. Samsung calls these sets "LED TVs," but it's important to remember they're actually otherwise normal liquid-crystal display TVs that use light-emitting diodes instead of the standard fluorescent backlights. Unlike the Sony KDL-55XBR8 and Samsung LN46A950, which both use local dimming technology that mounts the LEDs behind the screen, the UNB6000 series is edge-lit, with LEDs arranged around the edge of the screen.

The main difference between the UNB6000 series and the more-expensive UNB7000 models is its interactive capability.
