User Submitted Samsung LN32A650 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color Reviews Date: 2008-12-02 Samsung LN32A650 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color by Samsung [[ASIN:B00141AYR8 Samsung LN32A650 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color]We ordered this TV and received it on 11/20/08. We set it up, which was easy and went well. Within 3 days it began to automatically shut itself off. This increased with frequency each time we turned it on. By Thanksgiving day it had shut itself off so much we stopped using it. The following day we tried again. It shut itself off 8 times in a few hours. I called One Call and could not get through. Left a message but no one has called back,yet. Sent an Email and received a reply that I had to call Samsung. Apparently One Call does not have anything to do with product malfunction/repair/replacement. Their policy seems to be that a buyer can send the new product with problems back but must pay shipping to do so. The number for Samsung provided by One Call was wrong. I called the number on the Samsung booklet, was told that they have to send out a repairman and that someone would call us in 2-3 business days. We are still waiting--have another day to wait. I asked the Samsung representative why they don't just replace the TV since it is not usable and has a major problem out of the box. I was told that they do not replace new products with problems until they have tried repair, first. This is very frustrating. If I wanted a refurb, I could have bought one and saved a lot of money. Nearly two weeks with an expensive new TV we cannot use. It was our first effort to order a major purchase from the Internet from an unknown provider that was highly rated by Amazon users. Our plan, if this went well, was to purchase a larger TV for our family room and possibly a smaller one for a bedroom with electronics and an updated computer to go with them. This inconvenience, (not to mention cost, if we have to pay to ship the Samsung TV back), totally negates any cost savings or convenience of ordering online. We are additionally disappointed because we researched TV's carefully and the Samsung was generally the most highly rated, even by the consumer testing organization. Needless to say, we will be extremely cautious before we make another large on-line purchase from other than a traditional company with which we are familiar. Date: 2008-11-24 Super TV We added this TV to our downstairs living space as opposed to the 55" we have in our primary space. It is just perfect. The picture is incredibly crisp and I think overall better than our large unit. As a result it is getting more play time than we expected. My only complaint has been about the so-called wireless capability. You need to buy a separate USB device and that has been on backorder for 12 weeks since the day it has been released. Also, I cannot find out if I will be able to connect to the TV via wireless and use it as a network display for my laptop. Date: 2008-11-16 Amazing I purchased the television from best buy and got them to negotiate so I could have the television that day. I brought the tv home got it all setup. This is our Secondary tv so all the good toys stay on the big tv. I hooked it up to our U-verse through component cables. I hooked up our HD-DVD Player through the HDMI. All HDMI cables used are 1.3 cables. I then went to turn the tv on. As its booting up it sounds like my Playstation 3 making some melody when starting. Not the biggest fan of that stupid noise. I turn on the tv and set it to 1080i and watch. Everything is coming on clear as it should a lot better than our big tv but go figure for a 480 broadcast the smaller the better. Then I turned the tv on to the 1080i broadcast and just as it should the picture clears up and looks amazing. Next I grabbed a movie that was in "1080p" from our HD-DVD collection. I threw it in. I actually have to say that it looks better on the Samsung than our other tv (Mitsubishi 46" 1080p). I played with the remote which is a little big for a remote in my opinion and changed some settings. I ended up changing the audio settings in the tv. I was very impressed with the level audio sounds. Between tv and commercials the audio wasn't blasting and then getting lower. A feature which is huge if you actually watch tv. I do like the sound quality but it is lacking some bass depth in the sound. I have yet to test the features that are beyond extra like the link thing but I love the tv minus the noise when starting and shutting down. I mean come on Samsung Really??? Ultimately I am a junky when it comes to technology and as this goes I would 100% recommended this tv to anyone who wants an amazing 32" tv even without the 120hz (which is pointless unless you have a 40" and up) Date: 2008-11-10 JCW The SamSamsung LN32A650 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color I am very pleased with this product. The picture is remarkable and the hookup and features are just what I wanted. Date: 2008-10-07 papalila I'm very satisfied overall, handsome set with terrific picture. The only aspect that puzzles me is how to get the full screen within the edges. For example any script at the bottom of the screen, i.e.-stock ticker or broadcast icons, are not in full view. I suppose I need to call Samsung for more information...probably something I overlooked in the initial setup.
