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.

Summary: I ordered a Samsung 60-inch 3D HDTV; it finally arrived last week.
I bought this 60-inch TV because I wanted to take advantage of watching 3D channels from DirecTV. After having it for more than a week, here are my 2-cent comments:
1) Picture quality is really nice. The color is amazing. I own 6 HDTV: 4 of them are Samsung and the other 2 TVs are Panasonic and LG 47-inch Cinema 3D. This one is the largest one with 3D functionality using active shutter glasses. I purchased it because I wanted to take advantages of watching 3D programs from DirecTV that are available from its basic package. However, I did sign up for the top Premier package so I enjoy its programs to the fullest extent. The 3D high definition is amazing when I watched Titanic 3D Blu-ray last week. To tell the truth, since watching 3D, I don't want to watch any TV programs in 2D. I just can't take 2D anymore.
2) Smart TV with built-in Wifi is one of the coolest features that I really like about. I could use it as to surf the Internet, watch youtube or listen to music on any other standard or flash-based websites. Flash is good with this TV as well. The only draw-back I've seen so far is I can't watch ESPN3 sports programs on this TV due to a need to update for flash software that appears outdated for streaming. I've attempted to update the flash, but it looks as if I can't do it manually. Other than that, this TV can be used as a desktop computer. I hope Samsung will send its latest flash update so I can fully enjoy ESPN3 sports experience through this TV. Keyboard and mouse cursor operated with its standard remote TV also give me a little hard time as it takes such a fair amount of time to type a website address into its entry box. This issue can be definitely improved with a Samsung blue-tooth keyboard associated with this TV. I might have to buy this keyboard in hopes of facilitating better with my internet experience in this TV.
3) Sound quality is not the best, but it is not the worst. I would give its sound quality 3 out 5 stars because bass might present a possible problem as I could hear some crackling from the TV speakers. I have to switch it back to standard sound mode in an attempt to reduce its level of crackling noise. I don't know if that issue is originally defective or was caused from its shipping process.
All in all, I am just satisfied with this purchase. If I had to buy it again, I would do it without a second thought. I would recommend everyone interested in 3D and a long list of cool features in this TV buy it.
Note: I suggest check for best deal for this TV at: 3dslimledhdtvs.blogspot.com/p/samsung-un60es6500.html
Hope this helps.
