Samsung LN55B650
After 60 days in home viewing I can honestly say that Samsung LN55B650 is an outstanding LCD HDTV. I did compare to this years LN55C650 and really did not notice any difference in picture quality. I did debate over LED backlit, 3D ready & such but always came back to the B650. The red touch of color does standout but it grew on me. Overall, no complains. I am very happy with my purchase.
Best tv for the money
I painfully reviewed several lcd tv's (including LED) on price, contrast ratio, inputs, size, and reputation from a few websites and going to stores to see the tv's in person. Kept finding myself returning to the same 2 brands...samsung and LG. The final choice was made based on my components. I do not own a Blu-ray (yet..hahhaha) or any other high end device that require HDMI. My components are about 5-6 yrs old and work fine, but lack HDMI inputs. All 2010 and late 2009 LCD/LED models have HDMI only, which would mean a component upgrade also. The B650 has the best of all worlds with HDMI and component and composite inputs for all of us who do not yet have the latest and greatest of electronics. DVD's look awesome by the way...can't wait to get a blu-ray. I also own a 40-inch samsung lcd with 60hz and 1080p, and with the HD package from my satelite provider there is a distinct difference in clarity b/w them.
Family and friends will be awe-inspired with the picture. The picture is literally out of the box, without adjustments. Currently, I am trying to persuade my dad to buy one in order to replace his 11 yr old box-monster 4:3 tv which is dying a slow death. Extremely pleased with my purchase. I hope to get more than 6 yrs out of this one than my lcd Hitachi.
And 1 more thing...purchased the tv through amazon.com, not another on-line retailer. I was highly skeptical of buying something so large and expensive online. Checkout was extra secure with my credit card and shipping was well coordinated and on-time. Setup was a easy out of the box. I looked into calibration online for this tv just for a little tweaking, but everything was a bit costly.
Samsung Is The Way To Go!
I purchased this TV for $1,499 from one of the major retail electronics stores about 3 weeks ago and so far I couldn't be happier. I'm loving this TV. I have other LCD TV's in the house and the Samsung outshines them all as far as picture quality is concerned. I have it hooked up to my FIOS set top box and Blu-Ray player via HDMI and the picture is stunning! The blacks are deep and the colors are vibrant and accurate. I haven't even played with the picture controls or calibrated it yet. But so far it looks great right out of the box. One thing worth mentioning is that when you have the 120hz enabled movies tend to look like they were shot with a digital video camera. They lose their film-like look. Sort of the way a soap opera looks. But if you disable this feature then movies will look more film like. Some people like the way movies look with the 120hz enabled. I personally like the look of film so I keep it disabled. I only enable it when I'm watching a fast moving event such as a soccer game etc. Another thing I'd like to point out is that the screen on this TV is shiney. It does not have a matte finish. I personally love the way the glass screen looks. I feel it makes the picture look clearer. I have 3 other LCD TV's all with matte screens and they don't look nearly as good. The same goes for my laptops. I have a laptop with a matte display and one with a glass/shiney display and the shiney display looks so much clearer. However, with that said, I can see where some people may not like the glass finish if they have bright windows sitting directly behind the TV. My windows are on the side so I don't have that problem. Overall I couldn't be happier and am so glad I decided to go with a Samsung TV. I orignally was going to get a Vizio but after comparing the picture qaulity between the 2 TV's the Samsung was a no-brainer. I don't see how anyone couldn't be happy with this set?
Fantastic TV
This tv is great. I took it out of box, put it on my tv stand, pluged everything in and it worked great. I have my digital cable dvr box and ps3 connected to it via HDMI. The HD channels look great and the watching Blue ray movies is amazing.I'm not a up on all the latest tech but I think this tv is one of the best I've seen. The picture quality is fantastic and it is very easy to set up.
very nice picture
Got this Samsung LN55B650 to replace a large DLP, very pleased with upgraded picture quality of this LCD. Updated firmware easily, no problems to date. Amazon delivered on time as promised. As others have mentioned, you probably don't want to use the TV speakers though as they don't sound as good as my DLP so I picked up a soundbar system to remedy that.
