Smart-Review Commentary: For 2014, The 48-inch UN48H6350 is Samsung’s Best LED TV without 3D. Its CMR 240 and 120Hz refresh rate plus backlight scanning helps to reduce motion blur for fast moving action such as sports or movies. This 2014 model upgrades last year’s model by adding a Quad Core Processor (for greater speed and multitasking), reducing weight, and providing better energy efficiency. As a Smart TV, this one features Netflix®, Facebook, Youtube Hulu Plus™, Skype, ESPN ScoreCenter, a full web browser and more. SmartView 2.0 allows you to share content with your tablet or smartphone, streaming content to these devices. AllShare DLNA technology allows you to share video and pictures from your computer and other devices wirelessly. This TV has a Built-in WiFi Adapter, so there is nothing extra to buy. Its LED backlit screen is Energy Star Certified for lower power consumption. The UN48H6350 comes with an illuminated universal remote for easy access in the dark. We previewed this model at CES 2014, and it had excellent picture quality. This is a substantial upgrade from last year’s F6300 model. The UN48H6350 will be popular for those that do not need or want 3D. It is a SmartReview Top Pick for 2014.

Picture Quality Rating: 85/100:
The bright edge LED lighting makes for a brilliant picture and helps to balance out the downsides of the matte screen by providing more rich colors and a good deal of contrast. All of that said, from relatively close to front and center we felt the picture displayed was very good with lots of light flow-through to help with depth perception. The picture is remarkably similar to the F6300 from last year. A full 10-point white balance adjustment option that makes getting colors accurate easy with the right settings. The 48H6350 is loaded with tons of extra picture adjustment options, most of which aren't terribly useful and are better off left unused.

Side Viewing Angles:                                                         Side angle viewing seems to be one of the biggest picture quality problems for this TV. Color and contrast degrade pretty early at about 20 degrees off center and it quickly gets worse from there. The amount of "wash out" is also more severe than LED TVs with a clearer coating on the screen. Above and below off center viewing gave a similar result. This is important for those who plan on wall mounting the TV above eye level. Or for those with wide angles in their viewing room.

Smart Hub - Lots of Options

Samsung still boasts the best selection of apps in their smart TV platform. When it comes to quality of free and paid apps, they beat out the competition as well. The Premium Apps such as the movie services, sports and music are also top notch and include the usual Netflix, You Tube (though we like Youtube through the browser better), Facebook (browser is better here too), Twitter, Vudu, Amazon, Hulu Plus. Thanks to the new HVEC Codec streaming video looks much better and involves less buffering time.

Quad Core Processor

Samsung has realized that more power under the hood isn't a bad thing. The H6350 doesn't even have the 4x split screen seen on the higher models. A quad core processor means that TV bootup time, app loading, and app performance are much speedier than before. A very welcome inclusion.

Wifi and Web Browser Included

The built-in wifi connected to our network flawlessly and quickly. We had everything up and running in no time at all. The Web Browser on the 48H6350 defaults to a Bing search bar. The browser is slow to use with the 5-way controller on the remote but loads content quickly and the Wifi connectivity is just as strong as last year's stellar performing model.

Remote and Menu System

Samsung always has a very easy to use menu system that is very well organized. The layout presents tutorials beside various settings and information explaining some of the more complicated picture settings that you probably do not want to use, but may be curious about. Dedicated keys on the backlit remote take you to Smart TV options on the H6350.

Appearance

The UN48H6350 makes use of the standard Samsung quadrapod design that we have seen before. This time the legs sport a silver matte finish that doesn't demand more attention than needed. Some of the chrome stands we've seen in the past are a bit much sometimes. The bezels at 0.3 inches and the profile at 2.5 inches are very thin to give the TV an attractive appearance. For those who don't like the look of the 4-legged stand, wall mounting might be the best option.

Value Rating: 89/100

The UN48H6350 sells for $200 less than the H6400 series above it. That $200 can be spent on better speakers, a blu-ray player, or go towards a game console. That is, if the extra features like 3D and microdimming aren't important to you. Similar value TVs like the Vizio E480i-B2 sells for about $300 less, but you are going to miss out on picture quality and a stout smart TV experience.
