Date: 2008-10-24 Great TV. Amazon service priceless! I took the plunge after reading the reviews and visiting a Circuit City store to see the actual picture quality. Before the visit, I was going to buy the Samsung 61" DLP because I wanted the biggest TV I could afford. But after comparing all the TVs, the picture on the Samsung 52" LCD was far and away the best. It was simply stunning. I went home and ordered it on Amazon. The total price, including no shipping or tax, was about $400 less than Circuit City.. I must admit that I was a little leery about ordering such a item online, but it turned out to be a wise decision. When I received the TV, everything was fine except that there were some smudges and scratches on the bezel. I called Amazon Customer Care and they simply ordered a replacement. It came 5 days later, and it was perfect. Make sure you keep your packing box for at least a week in case you need to return it. Bravo Amazon! The bezel was important because it's simply gorgeous. The infused red color was a brilliant idea (there must be a woman at Samsung with come clout). And the picture on this TV is jaw-dropping. Everyone who has seen it has been blown away. You need to sit at eye-level to really appreciate it. ESPN never looked so good! I bought 2 HDMI cables from Mediabridge (on Amazon)to hook up my cable box and my future Blu-ray player. I also hooked up my Panasonic DVD recorder. Even my older DVDs look good. You can adjust the picture size to full screen by going into the picture mode, scroll down to picture options, size, and select wide fit. Wow! It's like I'm standing next to my hero Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone of course)! I'm a movie freak, and there's nothing better than being totally immersed in your favorite films. (Make sure you go back to 16:9 size when you go to HD channels). If you have a lot of DVDs, you might want to check out discgear holders to keep them organized and each DVD pops up when you select it. They are so cool (QVC had the best price on them). I bought the 650 model because I wanted the swivel stand. I can now watch TV while I'm at my computer desk in another part of the room. I have an entertainment center with 2 huge black display towers and 2 upper connecting shelves. There is also a stand at the bottom with shelves and glass doors. I was able to move the towers apart so that the TV would fit on the stand and below the upper shelves. I put the cable box and recorder below in the stand and everything worked out perfectly. If you are considering a new HDTV and don't want to break the bank, you must see this one. You won't be sorry if you took the plunge like I did. Date: 2008-10-24 Incredible Value and Product!!!!!!! After comparing televisions at all of the local chains and warehouse clubs, my wife and I both agreed that Samsung had the brightest and best picture of all of the LCDs. The model that we ended up purchasing, the Samsung LN52A650, was a step up from what was being offered at the afore-mentioned stores, and we were able to purchase it at Amazon.com for several hundred less than the lesser 52" models, and on top of that, we paid no shipping or sales tax. I figure that my total savings, compared to purchasing locally, was about $500! The picture is incredible, especially with sports programming, and the sound is pretty good as well. There were no 'dead' pixels on the screen, and we have zero complaints. I would certainly recommend this television, and purchasing avenue, to anyone. Date: 2008-10-23 If only the sound... Bought ln52a650 after purchasing the 120 hz 47" vizio. The picture on the vizio just didn't WOW me...this is my first time with an HD signal/TV...I wanted to be WOW'd. I hooked the Samsung up...bam! George Clooney is standing in my living room (O'Brother movie). But, the sound, oh the Vizio was WAY better than the Samsung. I still haven't bought an external sound system...I'm just not that into it. You can make the sound enjoyable...either use the Movie sound mode or make a custom one, where it roughly forms a diagonal line, least on Treble, most on bass. Most people claim the sound is "tinny"...this helps. Very easy to set up...used HDMI cables from Costco. The remote is fine...I only use it to re-size the picture and change from mode-to-mode (sports, cinema, game, off). Touch of color is barely noticeable, really takes direct light. No glare...only on dark scenes, shutting the blinds corrects. LOVE IT. One movie that looks great is The Astronaut Farmer. Many picturesque scenes. I will eventually hook up a Blu Ray player...will probably get the Sony 350. Date: 2008-10-22 So far... very impressed Impressive deliver of product as well as product performance! Delivery guys were excellent... box did not even have a mark on it and in 5 minutes it was unpacked sitting where I wanted it. Hooked the system up in about 10 minutes and wow, what an experience! Worth every cent. Date: 2008-10-22 This is an awesome TV! The TV picture and color is beautiful. We love it! Football is probably the most amazing thing because the colors just pop off the screen. You can't go wrong with purchasing this TV. Check the prices, Amazon probably offers the best....we looked at Best Buy and they wanted 2599 for the same TV. Delivery was smooth and easy, I will always check Amazon first before going to the stores!
