In 2014, Samsung introduced various LED TV models in Canada, which are largely similar to those sold in the United States. Although there appears to be a wide selection, the options are not as numerous as they may seem. It is recommended to focus on the 6, 7, and 8 series for better quality and features.
4th Series
The 4th series (e.g., H4000) is designed for budget-conscious buyers looking for basic functionality. These models range from 24 to 50 inches and offer a resolution of 1366×768 pixels. They do not support Smart TV or 3D, and lack advanced picture technologies like Micro Dimming. The sound is powered by two 5W speakers, offering basic audio performance. These TVs are ideal for casual viewing without the need for internet connectivity or additional features.
5th Series
The 5th series (e.g., H5000) offers better picture quality with Full HD resolution (1920×1080) and sizes ranging from 32 to 50 inches. They come with two HDMI ports, one USB port, and support Dolby/DTS audio. However, they still lack Smart TV capabilities and 3D features. The 5th series is ideal for users who want improved image quality over the 4th series but don’t need internet connectivity or smart features.
6th Series
The 6th series (e.g., H6350, H6360, H6400) offers significant upgrades over the previous series, featuring Full HD resolution and sizes from 40 to 65 inches. These models come with a quad-core processor for smoother app performance and enhanced streaming. Micro Dimming technology improves contrast and clarity. Wi-Fi support enables Smart Hub access, providing a range of apps and internet services. The H6400 series also features a curved screen, Micro Dimming Pro, and Ultra Clear Panel technology for superior picture quality. Some models support 3D with additional glasses, and audio performance is enhanced with built-in woofers.
7th Series
The 7th series (e.g., H7150) takes things even further with Micro Dimming Pro and Ultra Clear Panel for enhanced picture quality. These models range from 50 to 75 inches and support 3D (with extra glasses). The audio is further enhanced with a subwoofer for richer sound, and Wi-Fi and Smart Hub provide access to internet services and apps. These TVs are perfect for those looking for higher-end features, more immersive viewing, and a richer audio experience.
8th Series
The 8th series (e.g., H8000) is Samsung’s premium range, offering the best in both design and performance. These models feature a curved screen for a more immersive viewing experience and Micro Dimming Ultimate technology for top-tier picture quality. The H8000 series supports 3D with four pairs of glasses and includes Smart Hub and Wi-Fi for easy access to apps and internet services. The sound system is enhanced, providing exceptional audio. The 8th series is perfect for users seeking the ultimate in design, picture quality, and smart functionality.
