- Series 650 - 40" Samsung LCD HDTV...Simply Outstanding !!
- Did our research and settled on Samsung as the brand we wanted.
Researched Samsung products and selcected the Series 650 40" LCD/HDTV.
Buying through Amazon was almost $400 less than the best local price.
Price included free shipping and it was fast.
Extended Warranty details were associated right there on the product page.
Took it out of the box, plugged things up, and powered it on.
Then it automatically initialized itself with on-screen progress shown.
In less than 10 minutes we were watching the most brilliant, detailed, accurate, sharp, clear colors that we're far superior to any color TV that we've used in our lifetimes. This entire transaction...purchase, delivery, product quality, and ease of installation...were simply incredible...and exactly what you keep your fingers crossed for with an expensive purchase.

- Great Picture
- After reading reviews of having Amazon ship an HDTV decided to go that way. The Samsung LCD HDTV arrived within 2 days. The "white glove" service consisted of shipper taking tv out of box and having me check for any obvious dings etc. Then signing a receipt.
I later plugged in the TV and the picture was beautiful. Didn't have to make any major adjustments for picture quality. It says in the Amazon ad that this Samsung model has 120Hz refresh rate but the user manual says 60Hz. There is some blurr in motion scene close ups (like football player running)...otherwise picture is great.
I did download the latest software fix for the TV shutting off at times. The only time that it does this now is when switching to certain channels. So don't know if this is a function of the TV or when the switch is to a different satellite.
Given that the $ cost of this Samsung HDTV is 20-30% less than a comparable Sony with the same great picture quality, I would purchase it again and have it shipped by Amazon. Also like that it weights 40 lbs versus the much heavier Sony. - 2008-08-29, 3 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Samsung LN40A650- Excellent

I was new to HDTV and waited to buy until I just couldn't stand it anymore. This unit is used in a bedroom/ office. The 40 inch is great for the 6 to 8 feet away viewing distance I have. HDTV is the opposite of SD TV in terms of viewing distance. MY 57" Sony with SD programing requires 15+ feet of viewing distance to look good. You get 10 feet away from the 40 inch and you start to lose the HDTV detail.
Controls are intuitive, great range of adjustment for each source. The touch of Red is just that a touch, never notice it any more.
The picture is stunning to me. I have no comparison but I see nothing lacking. The biggest bonus for me is the up scale chip set must be very good. I see very smooth image quality of SD programing. I noticed the 120hz picture feature ( adjustable) working during the Olympics. Sound quality is good even though the TV isn't against a wall.
The lighted remote is easy to use but I prefer the channel numbers closer to the middle than at top.
Great to see Samsung giving incredible value Vs. Sony

- Beautiful television
- I really liked my Samsung HDTV. It is beautiful with the touch of color. The delivery persons were great also. They even offer to take the box back. The HD channels are very nice and sharp. I did not want to see other non HD channels now. The picture is nice. I am enjoying it. I will have to learn more features. I will have to buy a new dvd players because the pictures are not very clear with my old dvd player.
