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

We have been dying to buy an LCD TV but were intimidated by all the choices out there. After a lot of research & in-store visits, we decided on this TV from Amazon. We were all set to buy the A550 but when the price on this one dropped & included free shipping, it was a no-brainer. I hesitated because of the delivery & we were nervous about setup by ourselves but it was a great experience.

White glove delivery in our area (from Phila.) was great. We did not get a lot of notice - about 3 hours - but they kept calling en route to update us on their ETA & did deliver on Saturday afternoon. They could not have been more professional. They unpacked it & had us check to make sure it works before leaving. My only caveat would be concern about the outcome if we had not been home.

Since we had little to hook up to the TV, setup was very easy (easier than our new DVD player!). Our cable company already has several HD channels online so we were blown away immediately. We don't need a cable box to get digital or HD so that really made setup a snap.

The picture is gorgeous, sound is good for a TV, the remote is very sexy & practical. I am still discovering all the little tricks to the menus but I do not find the remote or the TV intimidating or hard to use. Yes, there is a slight delay when changing channels but that's easy enough to live with. If there were one perfect TV, DVD, remote or other appliance, everybody would only buy that one! Once I started thinking of the TV as a computer with a really big monitor, I lost any Fear of Digital. I love all the channel info that you can get, including the lineup for the next 12 hours - instant TV Guide! Even the cable guy was impressed with all of the inputs on the side & back of the unit and with the picture.

There is one drawback to owning this set: Now I wish all the channels were digital!
