Samsung MU6103
« on: Nov 17, 2017 at 10:04 PM »
Well my C7 will be taken out of the bedroom...out of the house for a larger version that goes to the family room >:(

What replaces it is a modest Samsung MU 406103

Since this is a very good budget entry level TV...I’ll give my thoughts after a full night of play.

Stand by

Build Quality:

The 6103 has a fare build quality. I don’t want to use the word “cheaply built” because it’s far from it. Lets just say it feels less premium and for it’s price one should not complain. It’s almost entirely made of plastic material ...However, it does look stable and the stand is not as wobbly.

Screen Quality:

The LED panel has a decent contrast delivery with good blacks but far from astounding. Dark details do look more greyish but not washed out. Colours are equally good but appear more muted with this set. Screen uniformity is typical of LED with brighter edges and with a grey test background a few dirty screen spots were seen. These weaknesses should be of little concern as they are hardly noticeable in real time viewing.

The semi glossy screen is hard pressed in blocking out glares. So it’s best to watch the 6103 in a muted lighting environment. View angles also take a hit in both contrast and colour when not viewed directly. 

Picture Quality:

Cable TV (Cignal)

My cable is currently down so I can’t test this right now.

FULL HD

6103 does a very good job upscaling a native 1080p signal. Images are sharp and well detailed.

4K/HDR content (Netflix)

Images look best when the 6103 is fed with a native 4K content. Sharp details and highlights are well defined. Dark scenes could be more black than greyish but it’s not really an issue as the over all picture remains competent.

The presentation of HDR is quite wanting here. The colour gamut is not as wide as more premium models so the jump from SDR to HDR is not as effective, don’t get me wrong... HDR pictures look very good on this TV... it just does not “pop out” as much as they do with more expensive sets (Pls this is to be excepted). If you’re new to HDR then expect colours to be more vibrant, contrasts become deeper and lighting effects are more dynamic provided you watch contents  that support the technology.     

Gaming:

20ms is more than good enough to have a responsive gaming panel. The 6103 can be a cheap dedicated gaming TV (no doubt).   

Conclusion to follow🙃

- Decent contrast and black level (the best for its price)
- Fast input response time for games
- Sharp pictures — a  good entry level 4K TV
- Very affordable

-

- limited view angles
- Limited HDR capabilities
- Does not have a wide colour gamut

The 6103 is a good example that not all entry level TVs have to sacrifice a lot in the area of build quality and performance just for it to be affordable. This TV has a competent capacity and capability to run movies and play demanding games all in 4k glory. Though you may need to up your budget, if you want to see and feel what HDR can truly offer. 

The 6103 can be a near perfect dedicated gaming display or a budget friendly secondary TV (40 inch version) for the bedroom (you don’t need a stellar TV in a room where there are more “stellar” things to do☺️).

As a home entertainment (Larger screens) centre piece ...The limited viewing angles may hurt the over all experience for other viewers who are not in the TVs direct path. However, it’s still a good TV that is only truly limited by the fact that it was never made to be the best nor does it pretend to be😉

Sure: Picture mode : Movie

Maintain all original settings but make the following changes:

Backlight: 6 (dark room) 12 (low light/regular light)

Sharpness at (0) for 4k content (10) for 720p/1080p

Switch off all enhancements., leave Digital Clean View for SD cable “on” and set Gamma to -1

Tip lang boss. The 6103 has a low brightness measurement so it’s best to watch in a low light environent:)

For TVs of this range make the room fit the TV not the other way around. There was a very good improvement in the 6103’s image quality when I started watching it in a controlled lighting enviroment😉

Still one of the best if not the best entry level 4K TVs:

Superb out of the box movie picture set and good for dark room viewing:

I got mine in abenson festival mall, 65 inch for 58k and for delivery today. I suppose to get from anson atc kaso kulang yong na withdraw ko at sabi ko debit na lang sa atm ko kasi good as cash din naman yon, dagdag daw ako ng 500. Gamahan sa cash yong manager nila. In the end I walked out at pumunta sa abenson festival and within 5 mins close ang deal at the price of 58k, down payment ko ay 30k tapos yong 28k mamaya once ma deliver.

You'd get judder when watching 24 Hz, 25 Hz and 50 Hz sources because the panel runs at 60 Hz. Some people will notice it, others won't. It will be perfect with 30 Hz and 60 Hz material.
