  I love this tv! It had been 10 years since I had bought a tv. And I have to admit I felt overwhelmed by everything it takes to choose a tv now days. The place to begin is taking a look at what’s out there and determining your personal tastes. I had bought a 22 inch Samsung a year ago for my daughter’s college room and feel in love with its picture. Though that was a consideration, I did compare Sonys, Panasonics, LGs, Sharps, the gamut.br /br /I knew my viewing room needed a 46 inch LCD set to fill its visual space. From there I started visiting big box stores, comparing picture quality and features. After reading all the articles, reviews, product descriptions and talking it over with some friends, I have to admit I don’t believe anyone produces a better LCD set than Samsung. Sonys have a great name and history. But in picture quality, resolution, features, value, Samsung wins hands down. At least, as far as I am concerned.br /br /My biggest frustration was delivery day. Being a hands on kind of guy I research a ton and then I am willing to try things myself. I’ve been around things electronic and mechanical all my life and knew I could set up and calibrate the set myself, which I did. Only thing I wish Samsung did was produce a clearer explanation of settings in their set up guides. Both the quick guide and tv manual were thin on settings between cable boxes, receivers, and the tv. After a little experimentation I got the picture up and its been smooth sailing from there. Being the suspicious kind, I think this is why people spend tons of money having other people set up for them, and the manufacturers are complicit in this. Getting past that, I love the set. It’s a wonderful addition and I would highly recommend expending the few extra dollars to buy the Samsung a650. Worth every dollar and more.

  Everything I could have hoped for in appearance, performance and features. Rock solid all the way around.

  The image is superb with vivid colors. It’s breath-taking. I watched the Masters golf tournament - it was so clear it was as if I was actually there. I am really impressed with this TV. I am receiving over-the-air high-definition TV in 1080i. Some stations are still broadcasting 480i pictures digitally. Even these programs, when viewed in their unexpanded, 480 format, are remarkably sharp. Much better than the old TV sets.br /br /The only caution I have is that Amazon claims that this set is a 120Hz model. The user manual states that it is 60Hz. However, there is an “Auto Motion Plus 120Hz” mode. You can select Auto Motion low, medium, and high settings. There is a caution that “If you enable ‘Auto Motion Plus 120Hz,’ noise may appear on the screen. If this occurs, set ‘Auto Motion Plus 120Hz’ to ‘Off’”br /br /I have watched NHL hockey without the Auto Motion option on and did not notice blurring. And I have turned Auto Motion on without seeing noise. So I have no complaints.

  We purchased this product for our daughter. It is exactly the same as the one we purchased earlier for ourselves. She saw it at our house and asked if she could have one for her birthday. Unlike our setup, she does not have cable and has to use an antenna. She is able to get HD, and says it is “gorgous”. br /Although the first time it was shipped it came with two remotes and no screws to attach to the base, this was quickly rectified without any hassle from Amazon.

  This was the top rated TV on consumer reports. But the reality is that 1080p is not necessary and can actually be worse than 720p when it comes to watching standard definition DVD’s/TV in terms of picture quality. For example, compare this model and the 720 version on CNET’s website and you’ll see that the 1080 does not do as good a job as the 720 in fully resolving standard content. On the other hand, if your watching HD-DVD/Blu-Ray’s or Hi-def sattelite/cable on this set, the picture is very good.

  I bought this tv online, mainly because it was the only 32″ tv I could find that would fit into the cutout space in the wall above my fireplace. Although it was a little pricier than I wanted to pay, I had no choice. I am very, very pleased with it. The picture is superb, and I have not experienced the “tinny” sound that a couple of other reviewers have mentioned. The only problem that I have had was in the set up process. I worked with it for a couple of hours without success, until I found that I needed to follow the instructions and use the remote that came with my cable system, rather than the instructions and remote that came with the tv (I have a fiber optic cable system and dvr box). It would have helped morons like myself if the tv manual had carried a warning that for some cable and dvr systems the instructions of those systems should be followed!br /br /Anyway, now I am happy for having bought this tv. The picture is clear from all angles. Were it not for that omission in the instructions, I’d have given it a five star rating without hesitation.
