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

After reading some reviews on Samsung's 650 series, I visited a local store to check it out for myself. The 40" LN40A650 appeared to be the right size for me, and this LCD HDTV is definitely suitable for viewing in a medium-size room.

From the onset, I was impressed by its sharp, bright, deep color imaging and its ability to deliver incredible contrast levels. These attributes likely contributed to delivering some scenes that appeared so life-like as to have a near three-dimensional quality. Its 120 Hz Auto Motion Plus system did a very decent job in significantly reducing motion blur and judder. Extreme-motion sequences aren't quite as "fluid" (seamless) as the plasmas, but the LN40A650 comes pretty close to achieving that. In evaluating this Samsung with remote in hand, I made some direct comparisons with a nearby Sony XBR LCD. To these eyes, Samsung delivered a more stunning performance. And what few reviewers fail to comment on--and something that is important to me--is how well a HDTV handles standard definition sources / channels. I can tell you this: This Samsung model handles them very well.

I ordered this model from Amazon, because of a special sale at the time and because of prior positive shopping experience with them. The TV arrived at my hourse prior to the estimated shipping time, and it was delievered at my convenience in good condition by CEVA Shipping. I have had this set for almost a month and continue to discover more features I like about it. Just one example: In the digital noise reduction's high setting, I find that most grain, static, & white-speckling, sometimes most noticeable in darker scenes, especially when viewing upconverted standard DVD's can be removed without degrading other aspects of the picture.
