Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color

Great t.v.! Amazon's service was right on the mark and the Samsung's performance lives up to all the positive reviews. The red Touch Of Color is fantastic. It's subtle, but as I look at it now, I'm very happy it's not just plain old black. It took awhile to figure out how to utilize the Film Mode and I messed around with the Hz. settings to keep it from looking "too digital", but it's all set now and the Samsung does not disappoint. Best tv for the money by far.

The picture on this television is awesome! It's actually kind of freaky watching hi-def compared to the dlp we used to have. The colors are very crisp, the ambient light glare is minimal, even the non hi-def is really clear.The touch of color is hardly noticeable but I personally find it attractive.
What I'm not crazy about is the sound is mediocre (we have a surround system, so that fixes it,)and the reconfiguration from regular to hi-def and vice-versa lags a bit.

Purchased this TV in November, 2008. No problems with ordering. Delivery went very smooth. White glove delivery worked great. Delivery guys set up TV. However, in our part of the country, it is cold in November, so I wanted to wait until TV warmed to room temperature to fire it up. No problems. TV is excellent. Had been investigating this TV for a while. This was my choice because of the 50,000:1 contract ratio & 4ms response time. With the price drop and 2 year no interest financing, figured it was time to make the move. This is my third Samsung and won't buy anything else as they have the best picture. Go into any electronics store and compare side by side. Samsung blows away all others. Some other reviews have criticized the TOC. It is so subtle that I can't imagine anyone complaining about it. No problems with screen glare either. If you are looking for a new TV, you won't be disappointed with the 650 series from Samsung.

First time purchasing with Amazon, very, very, pleased with the entire experience. Saved a bundle of money on shipping costs, and the product was far less than retail store competitors. Friends & family can't believe the picture, just outstanding! Recommend to anyone looking to score a beautiful LCD HDTV. Personally love the Red Touch of Color, looks fabulous with our red mahogany furniture.

GOOD NEWS: Make no mistake, the A650 is a great TV. BAD NEWS: the A650 developed a glitch on the screen shortly after I purchased it from Amazon. GOOD NEWS: going online to Samsung.com got me an extra 3 months on my warranty. BAD NEWS: Samsung.com customer support sucks. It took weeks to finally get a repairman in. GOOD NEWS: the A650 got fixed (it took two visits by the repairman to figure out what was wrong (the display) but he got it working and it looks great).
