I'm so glad I waited for this model to come out, it has a awesome picture that is so good I don't know where technology can do any better other than just adding whistles and bells. This new model (650,750) allows you to adjust the picture quality to 3 different levels, we watch the lowest other than a sporting event otherwise it looks like people are flat out coming out into our home theater in best mode and we don't need that.
The info link is cool but falls into whistle/bell category, it's not really that useful, for example, of the 3 topics you receive from INTERNET is weather, well all you get is the temperature of your zip code, not so fancy and blocks my beautiful screen I'm wanting to see more.
If your concerned about the "touch of red" looking OK or being obtrusive....when I do see it it's a soothing touch unlike under the bright lights of a electronics store, other than that it is hardly noticeable and looks more black than red to me.
I highly recommend this TV, and if you have been waiting for the best or better stuff to get here... well it's here in my opinion.
I bought mine for right at $2100 + instant $200 back on Amazon special of buying the Samsung newest blue ray player that was on sale for $279 (a $79 blue ray player!!! it don't get better). If that wasn't enough, I received 24 month 0% financing, and a $200 gift certificate from Samsung toward sports collectables.
If the package deal at Amazon isn't enough today... wait a day or so and they will throw you a bone you will like as I have found.

For several years now my husband and I couldn't justify the cost of a large plasma or LCD TV, but after seeing the Sony 52 inch at Costco, we said wow they have come along way in price and looks. After lots of research, we deceided to purchase the Samsung LN52A650 52 inch LCD and are we glad we did. First the delivery only took 4 days from the day I ordered it and they unpacked it and set it up for me. The TV picture is so clear and colors so true, it's like looking out a window. We have alot of windows and doors in the room it the TV is in and we were afraid it would be like our old TV, where we couldn't see the picture until evening time. But we have not have any glare problems at all. The TV is a true dream and we can't believe we waited this long to purchase one. It did take some getting use to such a large screen as we had an old 36" TV before, but after a few hours, we adjusted and now couldn't go back. Amazon had a terrific price. The TV is easy to setup and adjust, but the remote did take a little getting use to as part of it is a wheel and is very sensititve. Highly recommend this LCD TV.

Great product and great price. Very pleased. Delivery was on time and all I expected.

As stated in the subject heading, I did research for over 2 years. I looked at every electronics store I could find, talked to sales associates, compared TV's like crazy, and ended up deciding to go with this Samsung. I am so glad that I did! In my opinion, the picture is as good, if not better, than Sony's. And this TV has consistently been cheaper than the comparable Sony.

I did most of my research at Best Buy and Circuit City, and ended up buying at Amazon for $2,044. I was nervous about the delivery, but it went well. I expected to have the delivery company call me during the week to schedule delivery. They actually called on a Friday and asked if they could deliver on Saturday or Sunday. I was out of town, so it didn't work out, but a nice gesture nonetheless. Overall though, the delivery people were nice. My only issue is that they did not remove the TV from the box like the white glove delivery description states they are supposed to. But no harm no foul. The TV was in perfect shape. If you're hoping to have delivery made on a weekend so you don't have to leave work, my suggestion would be to ask them if they can deliver on a weekend. They may be in your area on a weekend to make another delivery, so it's worth asking.

Now, back to the TV. The picture is second to none. I know some have complained about the sound, but it is not an issue with me. The only thing that annoys me is that the TV makes a sound when you turn it on and off. I need to read the manual to see if there is a way to turn it off. It's not that big of a big deal, but I have a sleeping baby not far away, so I always worry that it will wake her up. I'm sure it's all in my head though, because if the TV itself doesn't wake her, the sound probably won't either!

Lastly, I was astounded at how much bigger the TV was in my living room, compared to how it looked in the store. I couldn't believe it, but wasn't about to complain! In my opinion, you won't find a better 52" TV than this one. And Amazon was a great place to buy it. Low prices and good/free delivery - can't beat it!

My Samsung 52" LCD purchase from Amazon went perfectly. The TV was delivered right into my home, no hidden or extra charges,and works flawlessly. I did a lot of product reviews before making my purchase - and agree that the Samsung 650 is a great TV and a great value. Beautiful picture quality, easy to use - and is everything I hoped it to be. If ordering a product online, buy from a reputable company like Amazon since there are some disreputable sellers preying on unsuspecting consumers.
