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

I ordered this TV and love it. However, this review about amazon not the TV because I am truly amazed at the level of service they provided (not to mention the most competitive price I found anywhere on-line or at stores).

I was a bit apprehensive purchasing such a big-ticket item on-line and almost every step of the way, I was waiting for the "problems" I might face (to compensate for the cost savings). My TV was not in stock but "no problem," it ended up arriving exactly when they said it would. While awaiting it's arrival, the TV went down in price. Again, "no problem," I called and not only did they take the difference off the price, the customer service rep told me that I should keep checking because the price guarantee was good for a month (and I'd get a refund every time it's reduced).

When my TV did arrive it was unpacked by the delivery guys who were careful and considerate. However, after the delivery company left, I couldn't find the manual that comes with the set (big problem). It may have been misplaced, it may have fallen out of the box before it arrived, or it may never have been in the box. I guess I'll never know and it really doesn't matter. What I do know is that when I called amazon they were very helpful, gave me instructions on how to find the manual on-line and then, sent me a 10% refund/discount on the TV to compensate for the inconvenience (not an insignificant amount to have taken off the price).

Since then I check amazon before I buy anything from anywhere else! (and by the way, I know this review sounds very "over the top" with compliments, but I swear I don't work for amazon or even know anyone who does)

Thoroughtly satisfied with this product. Having debated between the 46" and 52" - so glad I went with the 52" for the extra ~$200.
Every bead of sweat, every agonizing tear from the Olypmics has been displayed in crystal clarity.
The built in QAM-tuner saved me having to upgrade my Time Warner DVR box - so I can get HD channels without waiting for a new cable-box.

A buddy summed it up - it looks more real than reality! Worth every penny.

One slight negative - Amazon's shipping company CEVA - transcribed the wrong contact number for me (my contact number in my amazon profile was correct).
So when Amazon's shipping notice page said I had been contacted (when I had not) - I had to call Amazon to find CEVA's main number, then their shipping hub - and then arrange deliver myself. Apart from this minor delivery issue, still very happy!

Hello

I stayed at a relative' place and watched this TV just for a few hours. I was stunned by its clarity and quality. Now I want to buy this TV and would like to know

1. Where can I get this at a lowest price (manufacturer's warranty should be valid)?
2. Anybody buy a TV stand for this? Unfortunately, I cannot hang it on the wall and I have to put it up on a TV stand.

Thanks

Picture contrast was great but the screen flickers so this gave me a headache. In contrast, the Sony 120Hz model did not flicker so I got the Sony instead and no headaches. Sony's vivid picture mode makes the contrast just as good as the Samsung but I also get Sony reliability. I ordered 2 Samsungs LCDs (different model) and 2 Sonys at work and the Sonys have been flawless for a year and half now whereas one of the Samsung's analog tuner had picture but no audio from day 1 and Samsung tech had to come out and replace the motherboard.

Bought a Samsung LN-T4671F last December for a game room (after months of evaluations) and thought that picture was great, but this LCD is a even clearer, even though being a bigger set. Always felt Sony was king, but after spending time with these two LCDs, believe Samsung has passed Sony in LCD technology.

Easy decision. Samsung.
