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


I've been dying to get my hands on this LCD ever since I bought my PS3 and I was very impressed by the 120Hz Auto Motion Plus and how this function dramatically improves movement in video (Especially in Blu-ray). My option was summed to either the Sony Bravia or Samsung LNT4071. Price wise, I went for the Samsung. And right before I decided to drop it in the shopping cart, I saw the newest model LN40A650 was available. In comparison, it didn't hurt to get the latest model. I hesitated for a while because of the price but amazon.com has the best price with free shipping (at the time). At any other retailer, you would pay a minimum of [...].

Pros: Visually, the Samsung is top notch. With Auto motion plus, it doubles the frame rate making everything you see visually smooth. Some people can't handle this galactic function of awesome-ness so you have the option to "tone it down" or you can turn it completely off. The design is sleek (I wax this TV more than my car) and hardly any problems with glare disrupting the screen view. This TV is very versatile. Connecting peripherals such as the PS3, laptops/computers, etc. comes with ease using HDMI with hardly any extra measures. Personally, I've made great use of the Entertainment Modes on the Samsung. There are various preset modes for your convenience such as Cinema, Game, Sports, and "Off" allowing you to customize it manually. I use game mode a lot. I have a very dedicated relationship with my PS3 (I wax this too...). I haven't tried viewing pictures and Videos on the Samsung via USB but I thought that was a very impressive function as well. It also has functions for Power Saving and Auto Volume but "I WANT POWER!" so I have those turned off. Even the remote is really sleek. It has the same shine and red tint as the TV. There is even a button for the remote's backlighting.

Cons: The only real problem I've noticed with this TV is the audio. The sound really sucks. For those of you who rely on audio from the TV and if you want a real optimal sound experience, you should get the LN40A750 because it has a built in subwoofer. But I knew what I was getting into with this TV. I'm getting a surround sound system so sound off the TV really doesn't do much for me.

As a final note, I noticed a lot of people were very hesitant on amazon.com's white glove service. I was one of them. But after experiencing it, there is a great level of reliability (at least in Miami). They called me 4 days after I ordered the TV and asked me if I'm available the next day to receive it. They dropped it off and they even waited for me to check for dead pixels or any damage to the product. I received it 1 week earlier than amazon.com declared shipped from Cincinnati, Ohio. I would definitely order again from Amazon.com.

I'm very happy with this TV! Thanks Amazon.com and Samsung for helping me experience of awesome-ness of this TV!
