The MU6290’s color dE is a bit on the high side, but it’s not bad. It’s also worth mentioning that the color dE has a bump at the lower IRE, meaning that you’re not going to get all the detail in shadows and black. In fact, this TV is a better performer than your average IPS model.

It also has a number of nifty tricks up its sleeve. For instance, the MU6290 boasts a full-size HDMI port, making it easy to connect more than three HDMI devices to the TV at once.

Also, the TV comes with a free HDMI adapter, meaning that you can connect older analog devices with ease. Finally, the TV is capable of handling SDR and HDR content with relative ease.

The MU6290 may not be as flashy as some of its more expensive competitors, but it’s still a decent buy for the money. 

With a display that boasts a remarkably high dE, you’re not going to get a picture as sharp as you’d expect from a top-of-the-line IPS model, but you’ll be getting some of the best color and brightness out of your HDTV money can buy.

Picture quality

Depending on your viewing habits, the Samsung MU6290 may not be the most appropriate display for your home entertainment needs. However, the MU6290 is not limited to conventional viewing modes either. 

For the best experience, you should get the most out of your TV by utilizing the various features included in the package. Some of the more notable features include the quad-core processor, HDR compatibility, and a suite of applications. These include a full web browser, weather, sports and games, and even video calls.

In the realm of picture quality, the MU6290 is not equipped to handle demanding resolutions. Instead, you should be looking to maximize your viewing experience with the optimal color space, backlight, and a few other picture-enhancing tricks. 

While it may be impossible to cover every aspect of your viewing preferences, you can take advantage of Samsung’s Smart Home platform to control a few of the more mundane tasks, such as switching on the TV. 

The Smart Home platform also comes with a set of apps that can be used to access your favorite television show and movies, as well as your favorite social media networks. You can also play your favorite games on the big screen with the included Xbox game console. 

Lastly, there’s also a dedicated app for your favorite music genres. You can even stream your favorite shows to a Bluetooth speaker.

If you’re interested in taking your home entertainment to the next level, consider a Samsung TV. With the right set of options, you can enjoy an enhanced home theater experience while you catch the latest blockbuster movies. 

You can also take advantage of the various Smart Home features to make your TV a home hub, allowing you to manage all of your media needs in one convenient place.

Smart TV platform

Whether you’re looking for a Smart TV to watch movies and TV shows, play games or stream videos, the Samsung MU6290 Ultra HDTV may be the perfect choice for you. It’s an entry-level 4K Smart TV, but it’s got a lot going for it.

The MU6290’s quad-core processor provides smooth and responsive control. It also includes Motion Rate 120, which helps reduce blur and improve motion. It’s also able to display deep blacks in dark rooms, which helps with darker scenes.

You can connect your phone or another device via Bluetooth on the MU6290. The Samsung smart remote includes voice control. You can also plug in a USB device to play music and videos.

The MU6290 also has a built-in Wi-Fi connection. This makes it easier to browse the web, play games and watch movies from your phone. You can also mirror your device’s screen on your TV. You can also connect up to three HDMI devices. It has two USB ports, too.

The MU6290 does have Bluetooth, though the functionality is limited. It’s not officially supported, though you can enable it through a service menu.

The MU6290 comes with a basic Samsung remote. It’s fairly lightweight and has rubber chunk buttons. It doesn’t have any fancier features like the MU6100’s voice control or Bluetooth. It’s also not compatible with remotes from other Samsung TVs.

You can also get an app for your mobile device. This includes Samsung SmartView, which is available for iPhones and iPads. Enjoy multimedia content on your Samsung Smart TV from your smartphone and PC with this app.

It’s a content access technology that provides advanced features, such as embedded licenses and content protection. It’s also available for Android.

Streaming services

Streaming services on Samsung MU6290 Ultra HDTV aren’t as advanced as they could be. However, the MU6290 still has a number of features that make it a worthy contender in the entry level 4K smart LCD TV category. 

Among the features are Motion Rate 120, UHD upscaling, and 10-bit HDR color.

The Motion Rate 120 technology reduces blur and digitally enhances fast-moving images. The MU6290 also has a higher contrast ratio than most IPS TVs. 

This means the TV can display deep blacks, which is helpful when viewing dark scenes in movies. However, this TV does not do a great job removing judder from 24p sources.

The Samsung MU6290 Ultra HDTV also has four times the resolution of Full HD, and it produces colorful HDR pictures. It also has a low input lag and a great contrast ratio. While the MU6290 isn’t the fanciest TV out there, it still offers good picture quality.

The Samsung MU6290 also features a few other smart features. This includes Bluetooth support, which makes it easier to use the Smart Remote or speak into the voice control feature. There’s also an Ethernet port and a built-in Wi-Fi. 

This Samsung Smart TV is compatible with YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Google Play Video, and Amazon Video. This Samsung TV also has a full web browser, making it easy to navigate and watch videos.

The Samsung MU6290 also has a number of other features, such as a quad-core processor for faster control. This Samsung TV also has a black frame insertion feature that helps to create depth and a richer black color.

The Samsung MU6290 also comes with a stand and a 400×400 VESA arm. The screen measures 54.6 inches across the diagonal, and it can connect up to three HDMI devices. The MU6290 is also a good choice for gaming.

Warranty

Purchasing a Samsung MU6290 is an excellent choice if you’re in the market for a 4K smart LCD TV. It has a 54.6″ LED-backlit LCD display, and it incorporates Motion Rate 120 technology, which digitally enhances fast moving images. 

It also features built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and two USB ports. It also has a small stand that supports the TV well.

The MU6290 does a good job of displaying deep blacks in a dark room. However, it can’t remove judder from 60p movies. It also has a relatively low input lag. However, there’s no local dimming, and it uses compression at higher volume.

It doesn’t come with a Samsung smart remote. The basic remote is fairly light, and it has rubber chunk buttons that aren’t as easy to press. 

It’s similar to the MU6100 remote, but it comes with more buttons. It doesn’t have a voice control feature. However, it does have dedicated input buttons.

It has a relatively low input lag, which allows it to display content without stuttering. It also uses a motion rate 120 technology, which reduces blur and enhances fast-moving images. 

It also has a great contrast ratio, which is good for dark scenes in movies. It also has great black uniformity, which is almost as good as the MU6300’s. However, it has a bump in the lower IRE that causes a loss of detail in shadow.

It also has a great response time, which smoothes the transition between frames. However, it doesn’t have a local dimming feature, and it doesn’t have the best color uniformity. Its color dE curve is over 3.0, but it has a bump in the lower IRE. It also has a relatively high gamma.
