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

The tv works great, I really don't mind the red frame nearly as much as I thought I would. Currently running sd cable box, computer via vga, and xbmc with component cables. I wish I had a ps3 or something else to put some real good hd through the tv but I already bought my toy for the summer.

The sd cable box looks much better than I expected, the tv can translate it to look at least half decent and doesn't ditort the image as bad as a lot of tvs ive seen. The computer looks great at 1920x1080, no problems I can find with using this tv as a monitor. The xbmc can put out 1080i and looks pretty good considering its a fairly capable digital media player you can get for ~$50.

I don't really use the network capabilities much, the stock ticker and news widget are decent but not all that useful since I run this tv as a monitor anyway.

For everyone complaining about the wire/fan noise when turning the tv off I don't know if your unit is just a lot louder than mine but it just sounds like a small computer fan stopping and winding down. It really doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but hey to each his own.

Yes, the remote is irritating. I don't bother with the track wheel I just click on it instead. I plan on getting a universal anyway so hopefully I won't have to deal with it for too long.

The IR receiver does seem to be a little more directional than other tvs, but it doesn't take all that much effort to aim a remote...I wouldn't knock the tv a star for that kind of issue.

I ended up paying 1370 for the tv while best buy was trying to charge 1900. I asked them why it was so high and they mentioned that while it is more expensive they allow you to bring the tv in if it breaks and it's not as much of a hastle as dealing with online purchases. Sorry guys, for $500 you better rethink your marketing strategy and perks package. Delivery was great and on time, delivery men took out the tv and made sure it was working properly. Also, the tv comes with a 1 year parts/labor warranty from samsung, so if it breaks you can give them a call and have them come over and take a look at it (depending on where you're at, you may have to send it in).

All in all 5 stars from me, good job on a beautiful TV Samsung and I hope everyone has as good an experience as I have had.Get more detail about Samsung LN40A650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color.
