The good: The Samsung ES6500 is a decent performer with excellent design and a good mix of features. Colors are fairly accurate and vibrant. Shadow detail is very good, lending weight and texture to images.
The bad: Black levels are not up to par with the model it replaces, and uniformity is fairly bad.
The bottom line: The Samsung UNES6500 is a well-featured midrange television with good color but otherwise ho-hum picture quality and value.

- Manufacturer: Samsung
- Part number: UN40ES6500
- Description: Whether you're watching in 2D or 3D, Samsung Full HD 1080p displays picture quality that's crisp, clear, and breathtakingly life-like. It's as close as you can get to the real thing. Put on the 3D glasses to immerse yourself in the picture - Samsung only uses Active shutter technology, which provides the experience of 3D in Full HD 1080p. You can also convert 2D viewing to 3D, so you can watch sports, TV shows, and all your favorite programming in immersive 3D. Experience sharp picture quality, even when you are watching fast-moving images like sports or action movies. Clear motion rate was developed to accurately measure how well a LCD or LED TV can depict fast-moving images. Previously, motion-clarity was calculated by the frame refresh rate alone. But CMR offers a more complete measure by calculating 3 factors: frame refresh rate, image processor speed and backlight technology. A CMR of 240 - 480 takes motion-clarity to the next level. LEDs TVs with this CMR can display action-packed movement with even sharper detail and deeper levels of contrast while eliminating image distortion.
