Manufacturer's Description
Samsung adds a Touch of Color to a blazing-fast 4ms response time andrich connectivity features to redefine the role HDTVs play in the home with its forward-looking Series 6 (A650) and Series 7 (A750) LCD HDTVs. Utilizing the award-winning technologies found in all Samsung HDTVs, Series 6 and 7 HDTVs deliver unparalleled picture quality and enhanced connectivity and networking capabilities that create a true entertainment hub for any home. Series 7 takes networking and multimedia management to a whole new level.

Samsung 650 lcd tv December 1, 2008
Mountaineer Don (LP Illinois)
Love this tv. Great picture, enough inputs, does just what I needed to handle digital photos as well. Only bought it a month ago, and no problems at all so far. Delivery was prompt, set was put on the base, the only problem was that the bottom of the box was very dirty, requiring local cleaning of our carpet. Didn't realize how dirty till the box was moved after opening.

This is the first HDTV I've ever bought, and I'm utterly stunned at how beautiful 1080i and 1080p feeds are. My primary uses for the TV were originally just going to be gaming (xbox360) and watching Blu-Ray movies, but after seeing the local news broadcast in HD, I called up my cable company and ordered an HD-DVR and HD cable because of how amazing it looks. After seeing the Georgia Tech football game in HD, it convinced me even more. br / br /I really like the wealth of options you can change, although I found the picture settings to be perfect right out of the box. I find myself switching AutoMotion+ on and off pretty frequently depending on what I'm doing - for normal TV and movies it looks really fake, so I turn it off, but for sports and video games it looks amazing, so that's really the only time I ever put it on (I put it at medium, sometimes the screen gets a little choppy when I put it on high... not sure if it's just my eyes playing tricks or if it's an issue with the TV). br / br /It's true, the remote is a little lame, but the remote that comes with the Samsung BD-P1500 works well with the TV and is a little better designed for basic tasks. I mean, I bought the TV for the picture, not the remote. No big deal. br / br /The speakers are surprisingly good. I turned on the TruSurround feature and I'm very pleased. Of course, it can't compete with a dedicated home theater setup, but it will tide me over nicely until I decide on which HT system to buy down the road. br / br /As for the reflection issues, I have two large windows with direct sunlight that shine onto my TV screen, and while I can see a perfect reflection on the screen when the TV is off, when the TV is on the picture is so bright and vibrant that you seriously don't see any reflections at all. The exception is when you are watching something with lots of dark colors - then you can see the reflections, but it really isn't bad enough to bother me at all. br / br /The black levels on this TV are --AMAZING--. The deepest blacks are just as dark as the bezel around the screen, and the sheer amount of black shades this TV can produce is mindboggling... it's light years ahead of other LCDs. I watched Sunshine on Blu-Ray and the frequent space shots (it's a sci-fi movie) were incredibly realistic because of how perfect the black levels were. It's great for gaming, too - I played Dead Space on xbox360 for a few hours and there are frequent times when the lights go out and lighting is minimal. On my computer's LCD screen (a Hanns-G 22 incher) I could barely see anything because of how bad the black levels used to be, but on this Samsung I can see everything perfectly without any of the washed-out black levels I was used to on the other screen. Simply beautiful. br / br /The touch-of-color looks cool when the TV is off, but I never even notice it unless I'm consciously looking for it. It's a purely aesthetic thing, and it adds to the glossy beauty of the screen and bezel. br / br /Connectivity is perfectly adequate, and it's very easy to navigate inputs. No cons here. br / br /My only true complaint about this TV isn't even confined to just this TV - it's more so for all HDTVs. This is my first HDTV, and I was worried when I kept reading that non-HD (standard definition) broadcasts look bad on HDTVs. Well, they were right. Regular cable channels look really bad on HDTVs, but HD cable channels are unbelievably pretty. It's kind of strange how bad some of the non-HD cable channels look, but I can say that as bad as they look on this Samsung, they actually look better on here than on any other HDTV I researched. I looked at a Polaroid and a Phillips LCD HDTV with non-HD cable broadcasts and it was truly unbearably bad. With this Samsung, it's only slightly disappointing. So, while it's a con, this TV actually does it better than the other ones I've seen. The only thing that can slightly rectify some of the poor standard-def quality issues is changing the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3. It looks smaller, obviously, but sometimes it makes a difference. br / br /All in all, I couldn't be more pleased with this TV. It's truly beautiful, and I am so glad I waited to pull the trigger long enough to grab a TV like the LN46A650. Blu-Ray and Xbox360 have never looked so amazing, and Amazon had the cheapest price hands down (it's cheap to begin with here, but the free $200 Blu-Ray player was the icing on the cake).
Great TV, great price, great transaction November 30, 2008

Fantastic TV with excellent picture quality. I know some people are concerned about the touch of red but I don't even notice it. If I were to have any complaints about the TV it would be the remote. The wheel to navigate around the menu can be annoying but that would be my only complaint.

We were a bit concerned with the "touch of red" shown as the color of the frame, it looks black and doesn't cause any clash with our interiors. The television itself has an absolutely beautiful picture and was well worth the investment.
Great TV, couldn't be happier. November 30, 2008

I'd like to take this opportunity to sing the praises of this TV and Amazon.com. br / br /A little background first, I previously owned a Westinghouse 42" 1080P LCD TV (LVM42W2) that was plagued with vertical banding issues (sometimes referred to as uneven back-lighting) where vertical areas of the screen were slightly darker or lighter than the rest of the screen, and which were particularly visible during dark or gray scenes. Even worse, after 2 years these bands eventually developed into even more visible dark streaks. Eventually I had enough and started looking for a new TV. Plasma burn-in still scares me so I stuck with LCD's. br / br /I bought the Samsung LN46A650 and when it arrived I immediately started feeding it dark scenes and looking for anything resembling vertical banding, and I am extremely happy to report that this TV has none. It's been a week now and the more I watch this TV, the more satisfied I am with it. The picture is great, even standard definition (SD) content looks very good (SD content was terrible on my old Westy). XBox 360 games look great and run smooth as well. The viewing angle is very good with a minimum of color wash-out even at extreme angles. br / br /A couple of notes, you'll want to go ahead and turn off Auto-Motion Plus (AMP). It's kind of a gimmicky concept in the first place, but it really only succeeds and making things look strange. And by strange, I mean movies start to look like live-action plays or like they were shot with a home-video camera. I imagine some people will like this, but it's not for me, and I just turn it off. br / br /I've read other people griping about the remote, but to me that's so minor that it's almost not worth discussing. It works well enough, and I use a universal remote anyway so it's non-issue. br / br /I've also read some comments on the reddish "Touch of Color", but it's very subtle, and really, hardly noticeable, and thus also a non-issue. br / br /The one legitimate complaint is this LCD's reflectiveness. It is extremely glossy, and, depending on how you have your room situated (i.e. windows, lights, and lamps), it could take on a mirror-like appearance and be a major issue. Fortunately, it's not an issue for me and my apartment. But I could definitely see other people hating this TV for this issue alone. br / br /Now here's where I'm going to sing Amazon's praises. A week after I bought this TV, I saw a forum posting where someone mentioned that Amazon was now offering a free Blu-ray player with a purchase of this TV. I took a look and sure enough they were...so I sent Amazon an email asking if I could get that deal as well. It seemed like a long shot because I had already bought the TV, and I was essentially asking them to give me a free Blu-ray player, but Amazon said they'd do it. So I placed a second order for the Blu-ray player and they refunded my money. So I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
