The Samsung UN55H6400 certainly won’t disappoint the family looking for a quality 55-inch LED screen to fill the living room, especially since this model has some extra features that set it a cut above the H6350 series. These features include the improved Active 3D functionality and a redesigned Smart Touch Remote, which has added voice control. We were pleased with the 3D playback because its picture offers a satisfactory amount of depth and detail. As for regular picture quality, we can’t complain about the 10pt white balance, which provided natural color reproduction that wasn’t oversaturated. We would have preferred a clear coat instead of the semi-matte screen, which tends to reflect lights in the room and keeps the colors from being as bright as they could be. But the bright edge LED lighting provides some balance to counteract this effect.
