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

Strengths: * Looks great: Burgundy bezel is fantastic! * Picture quality: Makes HD and analog channels look great! Lots of picture settings * 4 HDMI ports: Future proof * 4ms response time: Fastest in market

Weaknesses: Just one: The jog dial on the remote takes a little getting used to but once you do it's great and easy to use. So no real weaknesses. Love the set!

Summary: I bought my LN40A650 on Amazon for a low price of $1556.88 with free white glove delivery. Best deal available as of 5/11/2008. The default settings work for a great picture quality for both HD and analog channels. However I changed the energy saving from Off to Medium and adjusted the contrast, brightness, color and flesh tone settings a little to bring out a truly mind blowing picture, and this was for an international channel for which there's no HD available. So you can imagine the absolute gold quality picture I get for the HD channels. Worth every penny I spent on this set! The burgundy bezel goes great with my chocolate colored entertainment center. Looks like it all came as one custom designed package. Actually the bezel color was also a factor for me going for this model. Glad I did! The jog dial takes a little getting used to but once you do it's 100 times easier to use than pushing buttons. Just like using your iPod. I read some reviews about the panel attracting dust but in the past week I haven't seen it attract any more than my Sony so may be it just depends on where you keep the TV. Either way, it's a minor concern for the kind of technology and aesthetics you are paying for :) Before I purchased I spoke to Samsung customer care via their on line chat support to clarify some technical details and I must say I'm very impressed with their support team, so that's a big plus also when putting in this kind of money for a TV. So the bottom line: Amazon credibility + Samsung support + The best LCD technology out there = A no regrets, value for money purchase!Get more detail about Samsung LN40A650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color.
