- Samsung HDTV looks great
- I'm generally happy with the Samsung LN40A650. Bought it for viewing the Olympics. The off-air HD channels and cable HD channels make for spectacular viewing. The non-HD channels however, seem more blurry and fuzzy than on my old analog CRT TV. The TV has a flash drive input for viewing JPG photos but I wish it could handle motion video files. The TV also features Picture-in-Picture when tuned to cable for one picture and off-air for the other picture.

- Best Selection, best service, best price !!!
- I did much research online , with Consumers Report and "window shopping" before making a selection. I chose Amazon.com because the Samsung touch of red "40" was the best rated and the price was the best ($300 less) than competition and the "white glove" delivery was quick and in a timely manner. The TV was delivered, unboxed, set up, checked out OK and they were on their way.

- 650 versus Sony XBR4
- I have had the Samsung 650 for a week now, very satisfied overall, I'll keep my comments on differences between the two, since there are plenty of resourses for reviews of the Samsung set.
The most noticeable difference is the remote, the Samsung is much more intuitive, nice large buttons for vol and channel, as well as a rotary dial to move around menus, very clever. The picture on both sets is outstanding, I would give a slight edge to the Samsung, but the downside here is that is has a "polished" screen, which presents glare if in direct light, expecially if near a window (daytime), so have to be careful where you place the set. The one area where the Sony beats the Samsung is channel reception and tunning - I have a regular antenna, even with two different ones, the Sony pulls in stations better (especially analog), and there is a slight lag in swithing from station to station with the Samsung, a little annoying for people who channel surf. Otherwise, is an excellent set, great value for the money. - 2008-09-07, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- This is the TV to buy!!!!!!!!!!
- Wow!!!!!
I have had the tv. for a month now and I haven't had any of the problems people try to complain about. The touch of color is a really good look for those that are into design. No cut off problems, no glair problems, and the remote is not as bad as people say. I guess we all know the saying about opinons! I love how it is pretty thin and the hidden speakers. Trust me the speakers are loud and clear and sometimes will make you think a phone on a movie or show is really ringing in your house. The touch controls on the side is pretty cool but you might have trouble seeing them. I see on the new versions they have made them stand out more now. I love the info link on the tv and the fact that hookups are easy to get to. On my phillips lcd it is hard to hook up the plugins, but on this baby its smooth sailing. Not to forget being able to move the tv on the the stand without ever picking it up is great. The only thing about the tv that is not that great is it takes a little time to come on, but so do my other lcds.
The delivery service was great, eventhough at first I was about to spend an extra $500-700 because I never had something that size shipped before. Im not scared anymore and recommend this service to anyone. The amazon tracking is off a little so you can go on ceva website to track your package better. The picture quailty is self explainatory and the blu-ray is out of this world. Even my regular HBOhd looks close to blu-ray with the 120hz on high. My wife and my family thinks it looks fake,but they love it. Play with the settings to get the look you want because I took some advice off of here for settings and they didn't look good to me at all. Moreover this is a great set and your friends will not like their tvs anymore after they see yours. Between this and the sony bravia, are the best lcds out until they come out with the 240hz lcds. Or if you have the money get the Samsung 950. - 2008-09-07, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
