I ordered the Samsung 40" 650 HDTV a couple of weeks ago, and everything went well. Very hesitant about ordering a tv on line, but heard this is one of the best and others got good service with the free shipping, so tried it. Great tv! Worked right out of the box with very little set-up. The free shipping was quick and the CEVA guys that delivered it were very helpful.
Great product and great Amazon customer service!!! December 1, 2008

This is a great TV for the price you pay. The picture quality is amazing. I have it connected to a Comcast HD cable box and the HD channels and On Demand HD is very good. I recently added a Blue Ray disc player and the true 1080p really shows off what this set can do. br /It has lots of inputs (3 HDMI) as well as composite and PC inputs as well. The speakers could be a tad better but are fine for TV and sporting events. I would add a set of 5.1 surround sound speakers which really make a difference with my BlueRay and Playstation 3 games. Wait till you see Planet Earth on BlueRay on this set. Some of the images are so clear they look almost holographic. br /Don't be afraid to order this and have it delivered. the delivery company, CEVA, was very good to work with. I live in a small town in western PA and had no problem with them delivering this to me. MAKE SURE you give them cell phone numbers as well as your home phone. The driver really relied on communicating via cell once he left the dispatch center for delivery. Did exactly as Amazon claimed. Delivered it, carried it in, unpacked it, placed it on my TV stand, even thought to put an old sheet I had under the box so dirt didn't get on our carpet. Turned it on and made sure everything worked OK and offered to take the box and packing away with him. You won't get that from UPS or FedX. DO NOT SEND BOX BACK WITH DRIVER! See below br / br /When I first ordered this from Amazon I was worried about ordering on line so I called their customer service and inquired about "what if something goes wrong?" They assured me that if something happened after the driver left within 30 day they would ship me a new TV and take back the damaged one. GUESS WHAT? It happened. About a week in the sound started cutting out on it and after a couple of times I called Samsung and they were very good about offering to send someone to my home to check it out but I thought I would give Amazon's customer service a chance first. I explained to them the situation and asked that they make good on their offer to send a new one. NO PROBLEM. Shipped out a new one that day, arrived in 5 days, CEVA boxed up the old one, same driver set up new one and I have had no problems since. I figured I saved about $600 over what I could have bought it for at Best Buy. I would have had to haul it myself and doubt my customer service experience would have been as good when something went wrong. Hope this helps some of you that are considering buying this model on line. If so I highly recommend Amazon.

The TV arrived when scheduled. As a newcomer to the world of High Definition, it took a bit to figure out the settings and connections of the HDMI cable. br / br /So far the TV has produced flawlessly and the picture is even better than I had anticipated. After all the time spent resarching TVs I can't imagine I could have made a better choice.

My 15 year old TV that had been struck by lightning twice over the years, but still working, started acting stupid again. Something it tended to do occasionally but we overlooked its issue since we really relied upon our other hi def big screen. But this time we couldn't overlook it. College football was in full swing and our big screen had been sent in for warranty repairs 2 weeks before football season started. With 4 or 5 games down, our big screen still out of commission, I had to do something. I got up Saturday morning after reading TV reviews all night and ran to one of the large electronics stores and bought one of their highest rated TVs. Game time that afternoon.... I was less than happy. By mid-game the next weekend I was thinking, "I can do better than this." I ordered the Samsung LN40A650 from Amazon, doubling the resolution or the refresh rate of the other TV I had just purchased. The amazing thing other than the picture of the Samsung LN40A650, I upgraded to it for only $100 more than I paid for the electronic store's model. I only wish I would have bought one to replace my other hi def that was in the shop at the time. Now it's a toss up, the comfort of our media room housing my old 52" hi def at 720P backed up by a killer 7.1 surround system, or the amazing beauty and picture of my new 40" Samsung at 1080P with 120Hz refresh rate. We're stuck watching movies here and there. Don't make the same mistake I did, buy two of these instead.

This TV is just great. I looked at this TV in a local retail store and was impressed by the picture quality and clarity. The price in the retail store was higher than what I wanted to spend so when I got home I went to Amazon and found the TV at a considerable less price and decided to purchase it. TV shipped on time and the white glove treatment was more than I expexted. Much more that the local store would offer. Shipper contacted me to set up an appointment convienment to me (not them). Delivery was within the promised window and they made sure the tv was working before leaving. Great experience. The TV is perfect and has performened flawlessly from day 1. Great Set. Thank you Amazon amd Samsung.
