Ask Engadget HD: How do you evaluate HDTVs in-store? {Engadget HD}
Oct 21st 2009 1:09PM i work in a best buy, specifically magnolia home theater and agree with still.reprise. I always encourage people who are more technical to bring their own material to test TV's and audio equipment because it's their TV at the end of the day. It is alot easier for dvd's to be tested in Magnolia but you can bring a usb drive to any capable TV and test it(as long as you don't spend all afternoon fiddling with them and and distracting employees and other buyers)
Given all that, most tv's in a store environment are calibrated to look ultra bright and vibrant which is initially attractive but far from reallistic. which brings up the need to have the tv calibrated when you take it home(professional or non pro)

Samsung stuns with 6000, 7000 and 8000 Series LED LCD HDTVs {Engadget HD}
Mar 31st 2009 11:27AM ok....so they've replaced the A300, A400, A500 and A600 series with the B300, B400, B500, B600. With these models all they really done is boost contrast ratios and improved looks. the A700 and A800 series have been changed from CCFl to LED lighting and redubbed the 7000 and 8000 series. they are (so far) available in 46" and 55" models.
Just to confuse us more they added a 6000 series which also uses LED lighting @ 120hz.
Hope that helps

Mar 15th 2009 2:53AM I work at Magnolia (BBY) and i must agree, I sell more samsung than all other brands combined. I barely even have to convince anyone, (except the hardcore sony nuts!) If they can afford it I recommend pioneer (KURO or ELITE).
