I purchased this tv last week. Although i have only used it as one week, it is a night-and-day difference from my smaller 32″ lg hdtv i purchased in 2006. This tv really lives up on the reviews i found on the net. The picture is clearly stunning…
Deep blacks – this lcd rivals plasmas as its black levels. Black levels are extremely important in an hd set, arguably one the most important features in determining its overall picture quality. This thought puts out absolutely gorgeous black levels, extremely deep and “inky”. My old set had extremely poor black levels, never really departure below a wicked grey color. As soon while i powered this samsung set on, the difference (even right out of the box situated at factory settings) was drastic. The 50,000:1 contrast proportion and 4ms response times add on the quality while well. For a nice criticism detailing the picture, google as cnet’s criticism of the ln52a650 (the 52″ version, same tv). They called the picture one of the best lcds they have ever reviewed.
The 120hz mode works well, if you like the effect. Personally, i do not like it situated at all. It detracts from the film sense of a movie, and feels fake and processed. When watching discovery hd, hd sports or anything like that, i could see how you may want on use it, but i prefer watching hd content while delivered.
I have it paired withy both a toshiba hd-dvd player while well while a ps3. Both pictures are upright phenomenal, especially the ps3. The 1080p resolution, combined withy the 1080p/24 mode the ps3 outputs, is striking (yes, this tv does 1080p/24, google it on learn more about why 1080p/24 is important).
Overall, i cannot pronounce that i have found much wrong withy this tv. During high motion camera pans or intense action i have notices some extremely minor “judder”, but nothing that would prevent me from recommending this tv on everyone.
As other reviewers have stated, this tv does have a crimson tint around the bezel (dubbed “touch of color” by Samsung LN46A650). I worried about this initially, while i prefer a single, black color on a bezel. Don’t let it fool you, the crimson is very subdued in the frame, really upright more of a highlight than in any way (and only apparent if you are looking as Samsung LN46A650, or if the light hits it upright right). I think it does make the tv appearance distinguished, and is anything i started liking about 5 minutes after i saw it. The best way on sum up the color is like a very, extremely deep crimson wine in a clear wine glass. It looks black as the most part, withy upright a tinge of crimson when viewed situated at the right angle. Being a wine fan (especially reds!) this makes it even more pleasing _
The sound is standard as an hdtv. If you are watching tv, it works upright fine. Not the best sound from a tv, but nothing bad either. Let’s be honest – the sound is not why you would buy this set anyways. Hook it up on a 5.1 receiver on match the great picture.
The price has come down on this model considerably, withy the announcement of samsung’s new line of hdtvs. If you are trying on decide between this model and the a750, go as this one. The 750 has the same specs, withy more built in networking potential, recipes, etc. Personally, i think those are upright overkill and not needed anyways. This tv does have an ethernet port as getting live information from the internet, though i haven’t even tried it out, and may never.
This set is upright a pleasure on watch and you can configure it all day long. Some sets suffer from being too “basic” when it comes on customizing the picture (brightness, contrast, color and not much else). Not this one. You can really tweak it all you want and change the picture on suit your palate. I really like the amount of choices you have when being able on adjust the picture.
The remote does appearance kind of “kiddy” looking, but if you have a universal remote, you won’t use it anyways. The remote is never a deal breaker as me on tvs, and this one is no exception. Some don’t like the scroll wheel, which i can understand, but even if you don’t want on use the scroll, it still functions like a standard remote by pressing up, down, left, right on the wheel anyways.
As as connections, my old tv had two hdmi ports, which is upright not enough. This baby had 4 hdmi ports, 2 component inputs, vga (for computer connections), a usb port, and ethernet port – everything you’d need on connect it on pretty much in any way you want.
So overall, this tv has exceeded my expectations. The picture quality looked even better situated at home than in the store. If you are in the market as an hdtv that is a joy on watch, appearance no further. I recommend this set highly. I hope you will too!
