Samsung or Sony? Depicting the Technology Behind the Top TV's

When it comes to the best HDTVs most people ask the question: What’s the best brand around? Is it Samsung or LG? Is it Sony or Samsung? Is it Panasonic or Toshiba?

You may be surprised how many times these same question are asked not only in stores but also online. First of all it is important to mention that an appropriate answer would be: best TV in what category?

Each of these manufacturers of TV sales has its strengths and weaknesses, and this allows for a great variety of answers and products. For all these reasons a generic answer won’t cut it and for you to have the answer that is more suited to your own needs I will mention all relevant features, in particular the ones pertaining to Sony and Samsung TV’s.

The Heavyweight Battle: Sony vs. Samsung TV's

Once upon a time, Sony was the king of TV’s in most categories until Samsung, the Korean newcomer began to make their way through consumer’s preferences and today the company has a market share of up to 26% which has provided Samsung the title of the #1 TV manufacturer in the whole world.

Although Samsung is the largest it doesn't necessarily mean it is the best. Its many contenders, Sony included, have stepped up to provide competitive solutions in most categories.

TV Design – Which is the Slimmest? 

Samsung has a particularity: it really likes their TV’s to be thin. As an example of this, their F8000 LED/LCD TV's are practically bezel-free because it doesn't get any slimmer than 5/8 of an inch. Of course, as you go down through the company’s line-up, bezel size begins to increase and in spite of it, they still remain the slimmest compared to all other brands.

The Sony w900 is an example of a really slim HDTV and perhaps not as much as Samsung’s options, it is more than suitable for even the most demanding of connoisseurs and I make this statement for a particular reason which is that although Samsung has the slimmest TVs this might not be a selling point for some consumers.

The Nitty-Gritty Details of Image Quality

Samsung and Sony have many strong points when it comes to TV picture quality. Sony stands for excellent color accuracy and Samsung stands out for best of class black levels. Although the previous statement sums it all up it is also important to mention that both companies have good performance in each image category, it is just that they perform fantastically in a specific niche.

Another curious element is that Sony has a distinctive branded look which many people love and Samsung has great above than average brightness which helps you to see more clearly when faced with challenging ambient sunlight.

Although the aforementioned feature comparisons are the most important ones it is interesting to mention Samsung’s ruling in the plasma TV market (a perfect example is the Samsung F8500 plasma) due to Sony quitting the plasma production and design business. The only features left to mention are both Samsung’s and Sony’s user interface, remote control and internet connectivity. These features vary from model to model and both brands are above most other challengers on the market.

Right now you can find both Sony and Samsung TV sales at very low prices as many online TV stores are trying to get rid of last year's technology for cheap. For instance, at the High Definition Store, most Samsung TV sales are marked down at 20-30% off or more. Those same TV sales also reflect some of Sony TV's as well.

Both Sony and Samsung TV's offer a wide spectrum of value and benefits. Be sure to do a little extra homework regarding the the interface and control features to truly pinpoint the best option to fit the bill.

Depicting Samsung's Line-up of Big-Screen HD LED TV's

Reigning among the leading manufacturers of top-quality, big-screen HDTV's in the world, Samsung offers a wide spectrum of full HD LED TV's, many of which are segmented into specific series and models that reflect certain features.

Among the most popular are the F7100 Series, F7500 Series, and F8000 Series of Samsung LED TV's. All these HD models are big screens but also have key differences worth depicting.

Samsung's F7100 Series LED TV's 

A great example of the F7100 series worth mentioning is the Samsung UN75F7100 LED TV. This smart TV has a 75 inch screen and a high-density of 1080 pixels along with micro dimming capability. This ensures that the image displayed is crisp and of high quality.

The refresh rate of the UN75F7100 model is 240Hz (240 cycles per second). A high refresh rate of this range is particularly advantageous for playing video games or watching sports programs, action movies and even general television viewing. This highly sought-after Samsung LED TV also fitted with a voice control system that allows users to interaction on the Internet. The Samsung UN75F7100 has a super thin design and comes with an option of a TV stand.

The TV without a stand measures 66.1 inch wide, 37.8 inch high and 2.2 inch in depth while the TV with a stand measures 66.1 inch wide, 40.8 inch high and 13.9 inch in depth. The smart TV itself weighs about 65.3 pounds but its shipping weight is about 106 pounds. Due to its performance, it is relatively costly Samsung LED TV at about $4,499.99 on Amazon.com. For the same price, you can also get a 2-year warranty included on the Samsung UN75F7100 www.TheHighDefinitionStore.com

Samsung's F7500 Series LED TV's

Another category in the Samsung LED TV series is the F7500. This series is made up of different models that offer slightly different features.

One such model is the Samsung UN60F7500 which has a screen size 60 inches across the screen. It's well-recognized for being a 3D TV that comes with four pairs of 3D viewing glasses. And just like the Samsung UN75F7100, it also has a screen resolution of 1080 pixels. Micro dimming is also enabled giving it the ability to output the best quality of images. It is also similar to the UN75F7100 in that its refresh rate is 24 times per second (240 Hz) and this is useful for gamers and action movie watchers.

Interaction with the web and streaming of content is enhanced by an inbuilt camera which makes it possible for the smart TV to capture gestures and interpret using the gesture controls in it. This LED TV is thin and designed for a TV with a stand and without a stand. The TV with a stand measures 53.2 inches wide, 34.1 inches high and has a depth of 14.8 inches while the TV without a stand measures 53.2 inches wide, 30.4 inches high and has a depth of 1.4 inches. It is quite lighter than the UN75F7100 since it weighs 48.1 pounds and has a shipping weight of 75 pounds. At Amazon.com, the Samsung UN60F7500 is priced at $2,497.99.

Samsung's F8000 Series LED TV's

A third high-definition category of Samsung LED TV's is the F8000 series. A great product example in this particular series is the Samsung UN75F8000. This smart TV has a lot of similarities to the fore-mentioned UN75F7100 and UN60F7500 models. It is an ultra slim TV whose screen measures 75 inches and just like the two other models, its resolution is 1080 pixels high density with micro dimming for the best quality of images. It is also optimized for video gaming, movie watching, sports and excellent general viewing by the high refresh rate of 240 Hz.

The UN60F7500 TV contains gesture controls and a camera which is inbuilt just like the UN60F7500 for capturing movements and interacting with the web and stream content. Its size and weight is however relatively higher than the other two models. A thin LED design with a stand measures 65.8 inches wide, 39.2 inches high and 16.1 inches in depth while a design without a stand measures 65.8 inches wide, 37.6 inches high and 1.6 inches in depth. The weight of this LED ultra slim TV is 94.1 pounds and on its shipping weight is 137 pounds. Of the three models described, it is the most expensive. It's priced at $6,997.99 at Amazon, but you can get the Samsung UN75F8000 with a 2-year warranty at the www.TheHighDefinitionStore.com.

Samsung products are known to be credible and of high quality too. The above described models are space-efficient and are of high performance (with respect to HD and modern 3D viewing technology.) In addition to Amazon.com, we've found some great deals for Samsung LED TV's at The High Definition Store, a reputable ecommmerce store for Samsung TV's and home entertainment products.
