 ln46a630 with matte screen November 13, 2008
Great tv! still figuring out all the bells and whistles, love the matte screen perfect for my bright livingroom....dont count on the white glove delivery tho, its kind of a joke. I had a fellow about 72 tried to deliver my tv. He got it off the truck which took awhile btw, but then i used his cart and brought it up the driveway to the front door myself where i signed the bill and he left. I dragged it in the house and unboxed it and set it up myself. While it didnt take alot of effort, dont let amazon blow smoke about its "white glove delivery service".
 Good TV, but some issues, unfortunately... November 8, 2008

I really like this TV, actually. But I'm sending it back. It's not for me.
The allure of this TV was the fact that it's a matte-version of the 650... However, I recently found out, it isn't. This is a 120mhz version of the 550. This uses an older processor than the 650. I'm a bit disappointed by that, and the lack of an extra HDMI port. The PQ isn't as stunning as the 650, predominately because of the older processor, not because of the semi-matte finish.
However. Glossy does give you better blacks. This TV has pretty grey-colored blacks, which annoys me. It also suffers from clouding/flashlighting, unlike the 650 I've used.
I did buy this version because I wanted to avoid reflections... I also bought the 650 for my Mom. Her TV is just plain out nicer. The reflections? Not a big difference. You see the reflections on both TV's. This one just diffuses them with the semi-matte. But you can still see yourself during dark scenes! It's just not as clear.
Compared to the 650, the difference between glare is minimal. It's there, but minimal. You see yourself either way, might as well get the better picture!
My opinion? If you REALLY hate glare, then the 630 is for you. However, if you're just WORRIED about glare... Go with the 650. You will be much happier in the long run.
This TV, the 630, is a great TV. I just feel like, for the money, you're not getting the 'newest' tech. Samsung treats their matte-users like second-rate customers, and for good reason: People prefer glossy. Might as well go glossy, and have the best technology, rather than having something older with matte. I do believe matte can give an outstanding picture... Samsung just doesn't think it's worth their time.
Honestly: If this TV is for a living room with a large window, then godspeed. It's for you. If this TV is for any other situation, then the 650 is probably your choice.

Chose this TV over the samsung LN46A650 because of the semi-matte finish and because it has less red around edge. The semi-matte is great, only see any reflection in extremely direct light. The red "Touch of Color" is almost non-existant on this model, you really have to get close to see that there's any red at all. Picture is amazing with HD, bluray, PS3, and even SD channels are better than I expected. Swiveling pedestal also a nice touch, makes it easy for me to get behind it and swap out connectors (HDMI, component, etc all work great). If I had one negative about the TV it would be that I have yet to find programming (HD or otherwise) that really benefits from the Auto Motion Plus 120hz feature. After a few minutes I turned it off, tried using it (low, medium, high, auto) again randomly with bluray, videogames and sports, but always end up turning it off again. It just can't seem to interpolate the frames to maintain consistent onscreen motion and is EXTREMELY annoying. It DOES do better with Bluray, but I still don't see any way that I would keep it turned on.
Still, this TV is incredible and deserves five stars (I didn't buy it because of the 120hz feature). Also, I recommend you buy cheap HDMI cable. I bought a couple $5 HDMI's online and there's no discernible difference between them and more expensive ones.
630 or 650 or 550? October 24, 2008
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
After reading reviews in Cnet and Consumer Reports, and feedback from owners on the AVS board, I knew I wanted to get a Samsung LCD. But which one? The 550, 630 and 650 are all highly rated, and all fell within my price range.
I first looked at the 550. Great TV and the lowest price. The picture quality was top-notch, but it did not have the 120hz technology and Samsung's smoothing system (called AMP) to reduce motion judder. In side-by-side viewing, I could see a difference in the picture with those features, and, since the price difference was not much, decided to move up to the 6-series.
Keep in mind that 120hz and AMP are two different things. You can turn AMP off (or set it to low, medium or high); you can't turn off 120hz unless you are in game mode. I like AMP set at low -- to my eye, that improves the picture without making it too smooth and video-like.
Both the 650 and 630 are fantastic TVs, and either one would be a great choice. The major difference between the two is the glassiness of the screen - the 650 has a high gloss screen; the 630 has a matte screen (basically the same as the 550, but with a tiny bit more gloss). I have a very bright living room with lots of windows. The 650 acted like a mirror, reflecting everything to the point of being seriously distracting -- you can see yourself in the screen in dark scenes. The 630 was the perfect compromise -- better quality picture than the 550, but far less gloss than the 650.
The advantage of the glossy screen is that it give more "pop" and saturation to the picture. Colors are deeper, blacks are richer, and the overall picture quality is a bit better. If I was using the TV in a darker environment (such as a basement), I'd go for the 650. But given the brightness of the room, the 630 was (for me) the better choice.
I've been told the sound quality in the 6-series is a bit better than the 5-series. That was not an issue for me since I turn off the TV speakers and run the sound through a receiver. If you plan on using the TV speakers you may want to listen to both sets to see if you hear a difference.
Very pleased with the set so far. You need to do a bit of tweaking to get the picture perfect, but the menus make it easy to do so. You can find configuration setups on several boards that will help point you in the right direction.
Other pluses of the 630 are the more muted Touch of Red in the bezel. I'm not a big fan of the red color, so having it less visible is a plus. Very nice remote with easy to find buttons.
I'm using the set with a Denon 1909 receiver, an Oppo 983H DVD player, and KEF 3000 series speakers. Everything works great together and I'm continually wowed by how great it looks and sounds.
Exactly what I've been looking for! October 15, 2008

I had waited until now to make the switch to HDTV, obsessing for nearly 2 years about plasma vs LCD vs DLP, size (40/42"? 46"? 50/52"?), and finding the right price-to-quality point. After focusing for a couple weeks on the LN46A630, I finally made the purchase. I'm 100% satisfied.
It has a stunning HD picture. Zero glare/reflection. Lots of settings, accessible from a fairly straight-forward menu. Just the right size for a viewing distance of 8 feet. And definitely the right price compared to others I was considering.
The first thing I watched on it was "Planet Earth" on blu-ray (I got a Sony BD player at the same time). Incredible!!!
I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
