Summary: Great Tv with ok shipping
Comment: This TV is very nice and big. Very moderen looking and the picture is just wow. The 120hz makes me look tv look even better making the picture even more smooth. I would totaly buy this tv again if i had the money. Got it for $1,200 after MIR. Great price if you ask me.

The shipping was good took about 4 days for it to get here the only problem is that white glove service is only done on thursdays and they forgot to put my package in the truck that day and wanted me to wait for another week. So I went over and just picked it up.

The box was completely UNDAMAGED!!! Way to go guys some of my higher priced packaged seem to get damaged by ups but these ppl did a good job.

No dead pixels and no sratches TV is 100% fine nothing wrong and i love it.


The TOC is acutally a red membrane that is under the tinted glass brezel so dont shine a light directly onto the tv cause it would look stupid.

Summary: Samsung tops the competition again.
Comment: Samsung never ceases to amaze and completely satisfy me. The LN650 line of flatscreens surpase the competition in both price and picture quality. It has straight forward menu, ease of set-up, attractive cabinet and smart interface design with flexibility in mind. With the limitations of flat-panel size, the LN650 brings respectible sound quality for those applications where hooking up a complete sound system just don't make sense. I can't praise Amazon enough in these transactions, for their prompt delivery and the shipping boxes in perfect condition on receipt. I bought three of these TV's and there wasn't a scratch on any of the boxes. No surprise though, this is the classic Amazon service I've come to appreciate over the years. Keep it up Amazon, there's nobody in your class.

Summary: Excellent Picture 120 Hz - So-So
Comment: I researched the market for HDTVs for over 2 years before the price got to where I was willing to invest. The options I finally had to decide between were the Samsung 650 series and the Sony Z series. When I looked at the Samsung next to the Sony W series, the clarity and contrast (blackness of the background)of the Samsung looked better to both my wife and I. We were not able to compare the Sony Z series side by side with the Samsung 650, but the deciding factor ended up PRICE. We were able to get the Samsung 40" 650 Series for $450 less than the best price I found for the Sony Z. We also saved at least that much by buying the TV from Amazon.com versus Best Buy or HH Gregg.

Pros: Amazon.com had a very competitive price and I felt safer getting a HDTV through the most reliable of the online vendors especially since my wife was very wary of buying on line. I opted to get Super Saver Shipping and that took about a week to arrive. The TV had no damage out of the box and worked just fine. AFTER I hooked up my HDTV antenna, I was extremely pleased with the picture quality. In Augusta GA, we are able to get all of the networks ABC, CBS, NBC, & FOX plus SC PBS with strong clear HDTV reception. No need to pay for Digital and HDTV upcharges from cable or satellite providers. The remote and on screen menus are pretty intuitive once you get started and it is easy to control the channel programming and selection.


Cons: The local shipping company said that I would be getting "white glove service", but that was not the case. The driver was alone and would not let me help him carry the TV until he got it to the front door. Not only did he not offer to participate is set up other than helping get the TV uncrated and onto my TV table, but he was extremely impatient to leave when I was hooking up the HDMI from my DVD, the Optical digital sound to my Home theater system and plugging the set in. This took less than 10 minutes since I had already set up all of the hook up except the TV before he arrived. I did not have my HDTV antenna hooked up yet as I had one more cable that had not been delivered. The Picture was POOR (less clear than our late 1980s Panasonic 27" CRT Monitor) as others have shared when the TV is hooked up to an analog cable signal. Initially, I was mislead by a misprint on Amazon.com web site that said there was a $200 cash rebate which was really a $200 credit toward "Sports Memorabilia". When I inquired about this to Amazon, they politely acknowledged that there had been an error in the description of the rebate for a short time, but that they could not give a cash rebate at the price I paid. I was disappointed, but felt it was an honest mistake and not a ploy to entice the sale.

Plus or minus: I have not been impressed with the functionality of the 120 Hz Motion smoothing feature on the Samsung. I have tried it on the low and medium settings while viewing HDTV football games. I still see blurring around the heads of players between them and the background. I believe that what it provides is significantly better than the older LCDs that had major ghost blurring issues, but Plasma still is the only way to really have smooth motion. That is probably why other reviewers who have had Plasma HDTVs have complained the Samsung 120 Hz does not compare to the lack of blurring on Plasma sets. I can live with the slight bluring, since I am unwilling to double the energy consumption just to have a less blurred football action.

Summary: I've had the HDTV for a little over 2 weeks and am very pleased with the improvement in picture quality and abillity to get free HDTV off air programming with an antenna. I believe the value of buying on line from Amazon.com far exceeds the risks. I got about what I was expecting from the SUPER SAVER FREE SHIPPING, not much help, but an undamaged HDTV.
