Samsung UE32F6200 vs UE32F5500

[Penguin143]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy one of these televisions, but am unsure which one to get.

They are very similarly specced and similarly priced (the UE32F6200 is £379, and the UE32F5500 is £369 from Currys, £339 from Amazon), except the F6200 has a few more connections. I am mainly concerned about picture quality, does anyone know if the F6200 uses a different/better panel? Am I right in thinking that a series 6 TV will surely have a better picture than a series 5, even if they are the same on paper? It might be worth noting that the F6200 is apparently exclusive to Currys, I'm not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing. I would presume that the smart TV features are the same, and I assume that Samsung brings out firmware updates, so it might not matter anyway. The F6200 certainly looks like a more premium product, but the Samsung product pages are nearly identical, as are most of the specs.

I will be using the TV for mainly Gaming, Blu-rays and Netflix.

Here are links to both the product pages:

UE32F6200 - http/www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/television/led-tv/UE32F6200AKXXU

An advice would be much appreciated!

They look pretty much the same to me, and likely use the same panel. I would go with whatever is cheaper.

I am looking to be buy the 6200. It is much the same as the 5500 but obviously series 6 is the model up. The main thing I like more is the silver finish and the stand. Looking at reviews the picture on the 6200 is better than the 5500 so something else to consider. Which one did you end up going for?
