Samsung panel and colour

Hi friends

Last month I purchased a 46” Samsung LED TV . My friends ask me which panel I got, as to which
I am a bit confused about the panel type of my Samsung LED TV UA46D6000. I am giving, the details of the digits which are imprinted on the rear of my LED TV:

Model: UA 46 D 6000 SRMXL
Version no: HQ03
S/N : 20363ZEB700106F
AC 100-260 V 50/60 Hz

I can't make out the panel type, can one make out anything out of it. Or is there any other way to get to the panel identification. Plz let me know.

BTW I miss the Sony flesh-tone in this LED.I was very much used to the Sony colour on my CRT (the somewhat pinkish skin tone which I loved) The Sammy usually depicts an orange skin tone, more particularly when a character is photographed from a certain angle. Know what I mean ? Take for example a scene in close-up is going on between a few characters. For instance a character is sometimes shown in correct colour flesh-tone (say pink since it's an English movie), but in the next scene if the camera angle is changed the flesh-tone changes to orangish. Should I let it be, or it calls for fiddling of the picture settings. AAMOF I don't like to change the settings, I believe the factory default settings are not to be altered without a very valid reason.

Have I erred in choosing the Samsung over the Sony? I had the duel over the issue before the purchase. Anyway, it's too late now.

Waiting eagerly for your opinion and suggestions.

Regards
JAYANT

For me the setting are there to help you achieve the most accurate picture. Sony was known to have an over abundance of red which made itself most noticeable in skin tones. The idea there would be to reduce the red so that the skin tones look accurate/natural and not overly red. An Avia II Calibration disc would help you calibrate a handful of settings on your TV resulting in an improved picture. It's simple to use and self explanatory.

Samsung makes about 3-5 different displays at each size. Typically you would say "I just picked up a 46" Samsung TV!" - someone may reply: "Which one?"

Your response (proper): "I got the 46D6000" - or just: "The D6000 series"

It lets someone know you have the most current model in their 6000 series. They also have a 6400, 7000, 8000 and maybe even a 9000 depending on the size of the display. They also have cheaper ones still available.

As for 'factory settings' - Now is a good time to do some research and educate yourself. Most TVs are not properly calibrated or set accurately from the factory. They have built in settings and presets which you are free to use, but it is strongly recommended, that if you are not happy, that you go ahead and read the manual and setup a custom setting which is more to your liking.

Let's be clear: If the factory got it right, they wouldn't let us change those settings!

If you aren't happy, why the heck haven't you changed the settings?

They are there to be changed, to be played with, to be adjusted. To your liking. If you like a bit to much red in skin tones, then that's your choice and you can make it happen. It's not like you are getting into the factory service menu to do this. These are standard user adjustable controls.

As mentioned above, a calibration disc like Avia is an excellent tool to help you on your way to understanding how to properly color calibrate your TV, but even then, you may want to adjust things differently to suit your personal tastes.

Don't be afraid to try some different settings out and ask questions.
