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

I've had my tv for one week now and am so blown away that I wanted to write a review.

First the delivery - When I ordered the TV On July 26th, I was given a delivery estimate of August 5th - 8th. Imagine my surprise when I received an email on July 31st asking me to call to set up delivery. I set up the delivery for August 1nd. I made sure to ask if they would bring the TV upstairs since it was for my bedroom. The rep assured me that I had white glove service. They would take it where I wanted it, open the box, plug in the TV, put it on the stand, and remove the trash. They just won't do wall mounting.

When the delivery guy came and I told him it was going upstairs. He said, "You didn't tell them it had to go up steps." I told them I did, and exactly what the rep told me they would do. (I only have 6 steps to get upstairs. He was just being lazy.) He reluctantly took it upstairs. Then, he handed me the receipt to sign. I said, "Aren't you going to put it on the dresser for me?" He said they weren't allowed. Again, I told him the rep told me the only thing they don't do is wall mounting. He said this was considered wall mounting because the dresser was above hip level. I said, "Well, how do you expect ME to get it up there?" So he agreed to "help" me put it on the dresser.

We got it up there. As he was walking away, he said, "I could take the box, but you might want to keep it in case you need to return it. So, I figure that I received beige glove delivery :-) I got what they promised, but I had to force the guy to do what he was supposed to do. If you get a lazy delivery person, insist that they do their job!

Now for the tv - This TV is amazing! Some people said they wouldn't get it do to the red color. I can't even see the red color. I guess that if you have it in a very bright room, you *might* see it. But it isn't lighted and it almost blends in with the tv.

My only problem was turning on the tv believe it or not! I never read instructions and hadn't taken the remote out of the box. I felt all around the screen for a power button, per se. It took me a few minutes to realize that there is no "button", The power, channel, and volume are all touch sensitive controls right beside the lower, right side of the screen. It's almost impossible to find in the dark.

The picture is super clear and the colors are vivid. I have great viewing whether sitting at my computer (3 feet away) or laying in bed (20 feet away). Although the picture was perfect out of the box, I've played with a few of the settings. So far, I've found that the pre-set viewing modes are very good as well. In about a month, I'll use my HD optimization DVD to see if it makes any differences.

If this were my living room tv, I might need a surround sound system, but for bedroom use, the speakers are more than adequate.

I have ordered a cord that is long enough for me to connect my computer. It hasn't arrived, so I can't review that yet.Get more detail about Samsung LN40A650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color.
