OUTSTANDING! August 21, 2008
The most bang for your buck. Great picture, colors, sounds. A TV this that looks this good, with this size screen, and the price, awesomeness galore! It's almost intoxicating how great this picture is on this thing.
Over 1 Year Old and Still Perfect August 19, 2008
I have been very happy with the quality of this TV as well as the price and service from amazon.com. The shipping was included (with Prime) and the guys set it up and took away the trash. They were also very flexible with my schedule, coming by after 5pm so that I could be home from work.
The TV looks great with my PS3 and the Blu-Ray movies I own. If you have a PS3, get one of these and NOT A PLASMA!!! Plasmas are not meant for games and you risk image burn in. The LCD and DLP TVs are less likely to develop screen retention (which is great for laptops also!).
Well worth the price.
excellent! July 28, 2008
Vann's had a good selection and I found the TV I wanted.
Delivery happened 6 days after I ordered.
Great TV and the price was right. Thanks. I love it!
Cracker Jack July 25, 2008
They call you cracker jack when you are very good or the best. My ratings are on a scale of 1-10.
9-Color/Viewing Angles: May need a little adjustment for individual preference. Flesh tones and such were a little off until adjusted. Blacks are good. View angles are really good. Excels in a dark room as well as with most of the shades up.
10-Size: The TV great for big room(16ft x 26ft). Quick access buttons to size choices of picture 16.9, 4.3, zoom 1x & 2x etc.
10-Hookup: Lots of different hookups. Everything form PC hookups to plenty of HDMI hookups for your Blu-Ray players. Perfect for the techy, but may be confusing for some people not accustom to having so many choices, but the manual explains it fairly well for any questions you may have.
10-Interface: The interface is very user-friendly and it does take long to adapt to. Actual selection menus are used and navigated with the arrow keys instead of just button clicks, and we also like the sound notifications of it when it's turned it off.
We really can't say anything bad about the TV works great, has plenty of connections for just about anything you can imagine, and has a great picture.
Shipping service was a little slow, probably due to the holiday during the delivery cycle, but the TV was handled very well. Shipping was free, so we can't complain. This is our first large order like this from Amazon, so we were a little nervous but I wouldn't hesitate to do it again after the experience with them this time.
 Wow, well worth the money!! June 30, 2008

I have been eyeing up a Sammy DLP set for quite some time. I initially planned on getting the Samsung HLT6187S for the 61 inch goodness and the LED light source. However, as I continued to procrastinate the price of those sets began to rise as they became harder and harder to find. At that point I thought I may as well jump up to the HL61A750 since it is the successor to my dream TV. Well, unfortunately my old lady voiced her opinion that the 61 inch was "too big" for our modest apartment, but said she backed up my decision either way. But me being the sensitive man I am I couldn't stand to make her unhappy and grudgingly started looking for a 56 incher.
My searches would soon bring me face to face with the glorious glow of the Samsung HL56A650. Honestly, if they had a LED powered 56 incher in this series I would have gotten that one instead. I can imagine the reason for this was to lower the price to increase market saturation but I wish they could at least had both versions or a maybe an LED upgrade kit (does that even exist or did I just make that up?).I had a DLP projector a few years back and I've priced the lamps for the TV and they are MUCH cheaper than the ones for my old projector. Even so I was considering buying a replacement lamp and keeping it in the closet when the stock lamp eventually dies so 1) I can capitalize on the lower price while they are in abundance and 2) I won't be weeks without my pretty tv while I wait for the replacement to come in the mail.
Alright enough babble, onto the actual TV itself, I order the TV the 16th, and received it on the 24th. CEVA only sent one person out with the TV so being the testosterone filled he-man that I am, I offered to help him bring it up to our 3rd floor apartment. After careful inspection of the unit and waiting for me to be satisfied, he took all the packaging to the garbage after I told him I didn't have space to store it in case of it being defective. The TV settings were so-so out of the box but after using the calibration disc we picked up previously Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics [Blu-ray] the picture was outstanding once we threw on a bluray disc.
The television is very attractive even when its not turned on, with its stylish piano black finish and thin bezel. Any other 56 inch tv would overpower our living room but the design of the tv allows it to stay amazing low key. Then you turn the picture on and POW! Your eyeballs explode from resolution overload. The remote is pretty slick looking as well, with a piano black finish that matches the TV (and the PlayStation 3 80GB Motorstorm Pack).
I actually thought I was going to be underwhelmed by the sound quality and want a home theater system immediately but I have been pleasantly surprized. Not that the speakers are that great, but they get the job enough that I can allow my wallet to recover the beating buying this behemoth has done before I invest in completing my home theater set up. One thing that kind of surprized me about this tv was that even though there are 3 hdmi hookups, there is only one antenna hook up which I forgot all about. I was actually anticipating hooking an antenna up to the second port to get some free high def channels.
Other than those couple of gripes I really have nothing bad to say about the television. The main reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of an LED light source or even an option for one in the 56 inch model. But don't let that be a deal breaker, this is a great tv that gives you more picture for buck than LCD or plasma.
