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

This TV showed up in my Gold Box for around $1200 and I decided to pull the plug. I'll just give the Pro's and Con's:

Pros:
- Excellent Picture Quality
- 120hz Motion seems a bit unnatural at first but you grow accustomed to it (like the switch from VCR to DVD) and love it. Haven't tried it yet with the PS3, which should be coming in the mail any day now, but looking forward to it.
- Some don't like the touch of color. I love it. My parents bought a 550 32" for the Kitchen and I have to say: #1 I didn't like the look of the light underneath it and #2 After looking at the touch of color on my 650 the 550 looked a little too boring. Go to PC Richards and check it out, I love it. I also liked the look of this better than the 750.
- Menu's are easy to navigate.

Cons:
- TV buttons don't light up like on the 750 so they are impossible to see in the dark and barely visible in the light. This is actually OK because it doesn't distract from the TV and who uses those buttons anyway? :)
- The remote is very poorly designed. Not only is it GIGANTIC, but the fact that there is no enter button by the number pad is just plain annoying. There is no clear way to program the dvd-like buttons on the bottom of the remote (if you even can). And after a week of use the remote started to develop a slight rattle (very slight).. sounds like something is loose. I will be getting an HD box and not using the remote much anyway. But if you can, I would recommend spending a little extra and getting a Logitech Harmony remote, which I might just do (550 Harmony looks nice and affordable).
- White Glove Delivery with Amazon sucks. Two huge guys carry it up to your room, take it out of the box, hand you a bag of accessories, ask you to sign off on a damages form, and they are out. Figured for the $200 extra they charge you on Newegg.com it would be something a little more helpful. Nevertheless, I wanted White Glove so I could check off on the TV for scratches so it served its purpose.
- The Glare on the TV is pretty frustrating in the middle of the day with windows facing it. We have a Sony Bravia with a Matte screen in the living room and that is much better with the glare. That being said, I like the lively color on my TV better than that. And we paid about double at the time we bought that one at 46 inches. Also, the swivel stand came in handy... moved it facing away from the window. But you might notice some reflection on the blacks of the screen (blacks are real black... that's a good thing).

On Par:
- Sound is what I expected from a TV. Might want 5.1 surround if in a living room but its perfect sound for my room setup.

Well it might seem like I have more complaints than praise... I am overall very satisfied with my purchase. The picture is excellent, sound is good, frame is beautiful. Other than minor accessories, and a glare that I worked around with the adjustable stand, you can't go wrong here.

I compared this TV to the Sony KDL4200's in PC Richards and the picture quality was better (less grainy).Get more detail about Samsung LN40A650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color.
