All 3D BRAVIA TVs are supported by a rapidly increasing variety of 3D content, including the latest Hollywood movies on Blu-ray 3D disc; sport, music, natural history and entertainment from new 3D cable and satellite channels; even 3D games such as WipEout HD and MotorStorm Pacific Rift for the PlayStation3.

Enjoy incredible contrast and sharp, vibrant images with the Dynamic Edge LED backlight plus see smooth motion detail during fast-action scenes with the Motionflow PRO 240Hz technology.

Additionally, the BRAVIA Engine 3 video processor produces superior, life-like image with amazing contrast and color.

Experience an innovative, monolithic design via the OptiContrast panel. As you watch, the on-screen images appear to float on top of the glass. Turn the set off, and the picture seemingly fades away. To ensure nothing distracts your viewing experience, the OptiContrast panel also improves picture accuracy while reducing glare and reflection.

This NX810 HDTV also offers integrated Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking, enabling you to connect to a wide range of streaming video sites–including Netflix and Crackle–as well as widgets to get headline news and updates from Facebook and Twitter. You can also stream content directly from your compatible PC to this DLNA Certified HDTV.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Auto Motion Plus 120Hz with Clear Motion Rate

Auto Motion Plus 120Hz brings action movies and sports to life in the living room, thanks to frame-to-frame smooth motion.

Blur is virtually eliminated and clarity enhanced, for smooth, lifelike motion.

Audio Performance

SRS’ TheaterSound, available in new Samsung HDTVs, is an all-in-one audio suite that directly addresses the three most common consumer TV audio complaints–inconsistent volume levels, unintelligible vocals, and poor, dimension-less sound. SRS helps ensure you get the most out of the UN46D6300’s two 10-watt speakers, and additional technologies like Dolby Digital Plus and support for multi-channel sound (MTS) add even more on the sonic side of things.
