Summary: Great TV, Great buying experience
Comment: I'm not very technical in nature so i won't get into that. What I will say is after doing my research I chose this TV and went and looked at it a best buy and I was sold. I have had the 50" Pioneer plasma for over a year and it's beautiful however, if an LCD was going to convert me, this would be one of them. More importantly, I would like to mention the experience of buying through AMAZON. I was sceptical paying all this money for a TV through the mail but I saved about $400 (including tax) from the local BB so I thought I would give it a try. In my case, when the TV arrived, the delivery guy brings it inside, opens the top half of the box, hooks it up to a scource to ensure it works and then left. Way more than expected. Now for the icing on the cake. I recently learned about AMAZON's post-order price guarentee. They will refund any reduction in price for 30 days after shipment and let me tell you, in my case it was like watching the stock market (4 price changes in a day). Anyway, wait as long as you can, write down the day and price, call them and wala! I received another $139 back on my visa. I will have no more reservations about big ticket items through them.

Summary: TV's great - Manual is worthless
Comment: The TV is great. The manual is not worth the paper it is printed on. It focuses entirely on how to use the menu and make selections. There no description of functions or relationships between functions. The later is very important because some selections preclude the use of others and you are completely on your own to figure that out.

Summary: Very Good
Comment: I am very pleased with this TV. I was very disappointed that this unit does not have a variable volume output. I use the audio from my receiver so I have to use two remotes to control the volume control and channel selection. I am use to using Sonys variable audio output so I could control everything with one remote. I also found the limitation of video inputs to be limited. I guess I could buy a new equipment but the ones I have do not allow for the new connections so there are limitation on connecting older VCRs and DVD player that don't have the new connections. These are minor but still important items that Samsung does not seem to think are important. Overall, still very nice and glad I bought it. Terry

Summary: Fantastic - you get what you pay for!
Comment: As with most electronics you get what you pay for. I did a lot a research for a good sized HDTV and the review consensus is that this new line of Samsung TV's have a better picture than the Sony's. I would have to agree (of course because I own a Samsung now). I have a PS3 hooked up for blu-ray and DirecTV for hidef satellite. Yes the picture can appear 'grainy' depending on the source and the quality of the original HD picture but with the correct settings you can hardly notice. Blu-ray planet earth even has a few spots where the picture quality wasn't as great as the other 96% of the show and if you nit pick you can see some pixelation. The AMP 120hz setting, I found, really does help when a mountain peak is moving across the screen. Use the 'demo' mode to see the difference when a large stationary object is moving across the screen.

You need to calibrate the picture for the source you're using to get the 'great' picture. There's a 1260+ post thread on the AVS forums dedicated to calibrating this set with different sources and firmware versions so I highly recommend spending some time there to learn more and get the picture set correctly.

The order process via Amazon went great and I ended up getting it shipped from 6ave via Amazon. 6ave has refunded my card twice match Amazon's price drops so kudos to that company as well as Amazon and Samsung.

The Sony universal remote has a code that perfectly matches this TV if you have gripes about the wheel on the remote. This new Samsung series is most definitely the sweet spot for price/quality and the ln46a650 takes top honors in my (biased) book.
