• very pleased exceptional lcd tv | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-19

  This is the best picture on any lcd tv, and most plazma tv's I viewed. I spent several weeks looking for what I felt had the best picture, reputation, and overall "look". I heard bad reports on Amazon shipping on large tv's, and they were not true in my case, the item came in good condition, and 5 days early, with excellent service by the driver and his helper. The shipper was CEVA.

• LOVE IT! Thanks AMAZON & Ceva! | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-18

  We researched a bit and shopped around like most people do when they are about to shell out a chunk of benji's! :-) Reviews of the 650 were very helpful, and surprisingly the price difference between the two models was only a few dollars!!!! :-) We ordered on a Monday and surprisingly CEVA delivered on a Friday, 3 days earlier than expected! CEVA white glove delivery was professional and we were impressed at how quick the set up was. He didn't wait for the entire channel scanning to complete, but everything worked and we kept the box just in case.
  
  The lcd sits on a media table using the non-swivel/tilt stand. The lcd looks so awesome - a perfect addition and upgrade from my Sony 27in flat screen tube. The TOC is very subtle - and often times I don't notice it. We have yet to purchase a blu ray, but the dvd upconverter makes the picture quality of old DVDs AMAZING!! The HD channels I have access to right now are also very stunning! We're really enjoying this new set and watching the olympics with such clarity - love 120HZ! Have not really adjusted the settings, but I agree with others that the "click wheel" remote takes some time to get used to.
  
  We did notice the "halo effect" on the bezel when we watch in the dark - but this is only slightly noticeable at certain angles. The picture quality is so brilliant that we are not at all distracted by it.
  
  We'll be looking into blu ray that also has a dvd-r. Any recommendations? Is this device out yet?
  
  Oh, any chance that swivel/tilt stands from older model samsung can work with this one? I like how the 650 swivels. :-)
  

• Superb picture quality and great sound | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-17

  After doing a lot of research online, in stores and reading lots of reviews at various sites like Amazon, CNet etc. I bought this TV and got it 10 days ago.
  
  A lot has been covered in the reviews here, so i will try to focus on some other points.
  
  Summary: Buy it now and from Amazon and save money.
  
  Pros:
  - Excellent picture quality...really superb. Beats LG & Sony for sure. There are several different modes for viewing.
  - Great sound. There are modes like movie, normal, music etc which are really very impressive. I decided to buy a home theater system later, since the TV itself has made a good impact on my pocket.
  - Amazon delivery. Very good and timely. Came on specified date and time by CEVA. Guy opened it up connected the cable and scanned the channels and let me check for working condition.
  - Not very heavy, so easy to mount yourself.
  - Tilt wheel remote..a bit tricky initially, but you will love it once you get used to it.
  - Contrast is excellent due toits highest contrast ratio in all the TVs in market. Check my pictures for detail.
  - Warranty : Samsung provides 1 year in-home care warranty for this TV. If you register it online, you get 3 months of extended warranty free.
  You can buy 3 years extended warranty either through Amazon (in first 60 days of purchase) or directly from Samsung (in fist 11 months of purchase). There is a significant price difference.
  - USB port is good and it is so easy to view pictures or movie files.
  I connected my iPod (after enabling disc usage in iTunes) and it works
  perfect with the TV.
  
  I am using a Monster Power Center to feed the power to TV, DVD & cable box and also for the cable signal to my cable box. It is said that it improves the picture quality esp in HD.
  
  I have mounted this TV on Bell'O FP-4850HG High Gloss Black Flat Panel Mounting System. (Read my review on the mounting system too)
  
  So far, I have not been able to take it online either with wireless or Ethernet (LAN) connection. The Wireless Key from Samsung is on nation-wide back order and TV couldn't detect my LAN settings. Need to figure this one out yet.
  
  Some people have reported issues with RED Touch of Color and reflection. I don't see these as an issue. My TV is facing a big window and I put blinds down, if reflection gives a viewing problem. However, its not that huge. You can strategically place your TV to avoid that. And I have not observed any reflection issues from floor lamps or ceiling lights.
  

• Touch of Color bezel ruins otherwise good TV | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-16

  The Touch of Color bezel is made of such cheap, soft plastic that it is impossible to dust or clean (or even touch) without causing fine scratches, which eventually form white hazy patches all over the frame. No matter how carefully you try to protect the plastic or how gently you try to dust or clean it, it scratches. What's worse, the fine scratches pick up and reflect any lights in the room, causing harsh glaring patches of reflection around the TV.
  
  I called Samsung customer support twice about the problem and all they said was "we don't warrant physical damage."
  
  It's a shame Samsung used such cheap, soft plastic for the bezel because this is otherwise a very good TV. But you can't stand to watch the picture because your view is constantly distracted by the ugly glaring patches reflecting back from the bezel.
  
  My advice it to spend your money on a TV with a traditional metal or solid black bezel.

• Awesome HDTV - Highly recommended | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-15

  This is an amazing HDTV, blows away everything out there and is competitively priced. The picture is truly stunning! We have the 46" model and the picture is so vivid and large that my wife was wanting to back up further in the room (though she has gotten use to it now).
  
  We normally don't watch the news or nighttime shows but when turning on a 1080 high def channel, it's hard to turn it off since the picture and colors are just so good, we end up watching things we normally wouldn't just because the picture is so good.
  
  We also still watch a decent amount of standard def shows on this tv since we haven't upgraded our DVR and everything else yet, and the tv does a good job of upscaling and rendering the pictures on the large screen. We'll certainly want to get everything possible in high def in the future, but in the meantime it does a great job of upscaling while we are in transition. I do not have a Blueray player yet to try out the 1080p video yet, but the 1080i from the small antenna we have is just amazing!
  
  We ordered it in time for the Olympics and are enjoying every minute of it (in 1080i). The color, sharpness are just phenomenal. The 120hz refresh and smoothing handle full motion very well. What a wonderful TV!
  
  Some people in the forums have mentioned a problem with a little glare around the edge of the tv (reflection on the exterior edge of the glass frame), but honestly it isn't a problem for us. We currently have the tv on its stand at eye level (without tilting down which would get rid of issue) and it's almost not even noticeable, certainly not anything we'd complain about.
  
  The extra features of this model over last years include being able to watch video (in addition to photos and music) off the usb port or via the network (using software on your pc). We haven't tried sharing from the pc yet (but plan to), the display off the usb works great. We've already taken photos and videos from our cameras, copied to usb flash drive and plugged into tv for instant slide shows and movie viewing.
  
  This model also has additional content like built in slide shows, cooking recipes, and workout content. The built in slideshows are wonderful having some Monet artwork and some awesome landscape photographs with accompanying music. It's just beautiful and the content can potentially be updated from Samsung (according to the manual). This is just a start of what could be done with content for this TV, I hope that Samsung and/others will continue to make more for it. It even has some stories, songs, and games for the kids.
  
  It also can instantly fetch the weather, stock prices, and blog news entries (complete with photos) and display on the screen over what you are watching. This works great for checking the weather, news, stocks, etc. while waiting for a show to come back on.
  
  Built in sound is pretty good, many people will probably go with a receiver to handle the sound, but the in the box speakers and subwoofer do a decent job for us.
  
  Amazon white glove delivery was great! No problems with tv, they set it up and helped us check that it was undamaged and was acceptable before they left. We had no dead pixels and it was in perfect condition.
  
  We researched and checked out many models and other brands before choosing this tv and as for right now, I believe this is not only the best value HDTV for this size, I have not seen any TV that is better in terms of picture quality, contrast, sharpness, etc. The forums are full of other happy customers like me which all had similar reports. I would highly recommend this LCD HDTV!!!
