Customer Reviews: Read 239 more reviews... |   This TV is Awesome ! November 23, 2008I ordered my TV on Wednesday and expected it to come around Thanksgiving.. the thing was delivered and set up by the delivery guys Saturday the week I ordered. IT is amazing, I popped a blue ray, Get Smart, with the rock and steve carrel into my PS3 and the picture was incredibly clear. I used coinstar to get an amazon egift card, and it knocked the price of my TV down to around 850 $ great deal for such a great TV! I also signed up for the Amazon Visa Card and received free financing for the 1st three months. Can't get any better I love my new toy. I have used it for only a day now but I already understand what others were saying about the speakers.. they are a little on low volume side even if i crank it up to an above mid level volume. So I think Im gonna invest in one of those soundbars and Subs that Sony makes they got good reviews on CNET. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.  Very Pleased Customer November 23, 2008I purchased this item 11/17/2008; I received it the morning of 11/22/2008. I would have to say I'm very pleased with the amount of time it took to get to my front door. This TV came with free shipping so I couldn't go wrong. Like all of you I read many reviews and do countless hours of research before I purchase something, especially something I have not seen with my own eyes, so I count on all of you. I'm hoping my review will help the inquisitive people out there on this product. I used to be a huge Sony fan, I mean huge!! I was at Best Buy one day several months ago a bought a Panasonic plasma. I was very excited it was a 46" Vera, or whatever they are called. I hooked it up, put it on the wall and I was so disappointed with the picture. I took the TV back the next day. I was looking at Samsungs (LCD) and noticed the LN40a650. I was very impressed, but not with the price. I learned something new that day. I learned about 120Hz fresh. Little spendy for my blood, but fell in love with it. I decided to purchase it, but of course it was not in stock, but they found it at another store. I jumped in my truck and drove to it. When I got there I saw my TV in a box sitting under the 52" version of mine. It was marked about $400 less then the other store. I had to get it. I got this TV home (LN52A650) hooked it up threw it on the wall and I was complete. My girlfriend purchased a blue ray that day. Sony BDP-300 which made picture jump out at me. I was so impressed and I'm pretty much an electronics geek. I was finally pleased. Anything I plugged into this TV I was happy. My point is Samsung rock. I would have to say better than Sony. Sony is good, but way over priced. For the person that is looking for a great TV grab the ln52a650 you will be pleased. Ok, Back to this TV. Its not 120 Hz refresh, but it does a great job. I am very pleased with it. This TV went right in my bedroom. I have to express the importance of going to Samsungs web site and updating the firmware right away. Be sure to follow the directions. There are currently two updates for this TV. 1005 and 1006. Grab a flash disk and get it done. I have read people having issues with things in the past models. Get the TV to date. It will work great. I just added a firmware update to my 650 made the film mode more realistic. This TV is just as good minus the 120 Hz refresh. If your looking for quality grab this TV if you're like me you will be very content. Oh by the way back to the blue ray. DO NOT get the 300 series go up to the 350 with the Sony its alot faster start up, you can hook it up to the internet for the firmware updates and it will put out in HD Audio. great picture quality for such a large screen November 22, 2008this is my 4th LCD TV. I didn't think anyone else could top the 2 Toshiba's I've been using. I love the durability of my Samsung cell phone and Amazon was selling this model out at a very good price so I bought. I am very happy with the picture quality, especially the channels I get in HD. You will need to have an HDMI connector cable to mazimize this quality, however. They sell for $30 at Walmart. My only disappointment is in the mounting of the speakers UNDER the TV so that the sound projects DOWN and bounces off the surface you have the TV setting on. My Toshiba's project the sound out into the room where you get a true stereo/theater effect. It seems Samsung has done this to maximize the screen size for a given space which was my priority, but it it a puzzle.  Great display but frustrating experience November 21, 2008I had done a lot of searching and for this price range this is the best looking display I have found. Some other displays that I looked at handle motion and de-interlacing better than the Samsung, but to me the difference was not enough to justify the higher prices. The sound however is really horrible. Like others, I saw this in other reviews and thought how bad can it be? It's really bad. You don't have to be an audiophile to notice the lack of bass and hollow feeling coming from the speakers. Dealing with CEVA for delivery had to be the most difficult part of my purchase. They never contacted me to arrange for delivery and I came home one day to find a notice on my door that they had attempted delivery and to call them. They would not deliver on the weekends and I had to arrange for a friend to meet them because I could not get home from work within their delivery hours. After enjoying my new TV for three days the thing just died. The status lights came on but no picture. After about 10 minutes of troubleshooting I called Samsung support. They seemed to know right away what the problem was and that it would require a service call. I had to call another company to arrange for service but the only appointment I could make was weeks away. At this point I had had enough and called amazon and told them I was returning it. On Sunday morning I decided I was not going to be denied another Sunday of football in HD so I drove to Best Buy, got them to match Circuit City's price which was about $130 more than amazon, put it in my car, drove home and set it up. The entire process took less than an hour. I then had to call CEVA and arrange for pick up of the dead TV; the earliest they could come was two weeks later on a Saturday and they could only tell me some time between 10am and 5pm. The Friday before they called to say they could not come on the weekend. I now have to take a day off from work to stay home and wait for them to come pick this up. I have purchased Samsung TVs and monitors before and have always had good luck with them so I was surprised by the dud that I got. But I did end up purchasing the same model and I am very happy with it. I would never again order something from amazon that requires delivery from CEVA. If you don't have a job and can stay home all day to wait for delivery you can save some money, but for me the ability to deal with a brick and mortar store in the evenings or weekends is worth the extra money that I paid. Samsung LCD HD TV November 21, 2008Everything was as advertised. The picture is better than I had hoped. HDMI cable gives a crystal clear picture. Amazon rep unpacked and set up the TV and hooked everything up and made sure it worked before he left. Dedlivery was fast. No complaints
