Samsung LN40A650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color Best Quality

The picture quality is amazing. The 120 Hz is not just hoopla, you can really see the difference especially when playing games or watching fast paced movies with a lot of split second action. Of course the 1080p is great. If you hook a Cat-5 (Ethernet/LAN) cable to it (yes its got an Ethernet port!!) it'll let you read news, weather updates and stock through live feeds. The TV speakers are good enough (trust me they can get loud!) to be used by themselves in case you want to wait for sometime until you get a home theater or something. The remote is good but for a couple of flaws. I love the illuminated keys button which makes all the keys on the remote glow with just the right light. Very useful when watching movies in the dark, keeps you from tilting the remote is various directions to get that light bouncing off something so you can reading what you're pressing.

The picture looks great! I've used it with my xbox 360 and is it great or what! 4 HDMI ports are great and the placement is good. The 1 port on the side panel is great to plug in your laptop or something. It also has a USB port which you can connect to any mass storage device (external Hard Disk, Portable Hard Disk or even a pendrive). The TV plays mp3s, movies and images (most formats) directly from the media. You can even connect a wireless adapter (sold by samsung) to enable the live content I mentioned before.

If you are thinking of buying an HDTV I very highly recommend this one. It looks great in the living room (with the touch of red), it has amazing picture quality, load of features, is light in weight, doesn't get hot, 120Hz technology works like an anti-blur fast moving images thing and the price is super sweet!

Other thoughts- Spend some time calibrating this TV. It is really capable of displaying a good picture. In case you don't see that, you probably have bad settings. Get more detail about Samsung LN40A650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color.
