5 Stars LCD vs LED
After ordered the LCD with Amazon, I read some reviews and found out that CEVA, shipping company was lousy. That is not the case here for me. They were very professional, 2 guys carried it into the house, and even asked if I want to have the LCD out of the box. I didn’t want it out and all I had to do was to sign a piece of paper stating that buyer does not want the unit out. They called and scheduled the delivery and very on time. I have to give them A+ for delivery. Can’t ask anything more than this from buying on Amazon, NO TAX & FREE SHIPPING – I love it.

Samsung makes a beautiful unit, lucky me that I didn’t waste money for Sony, much cheaper and same or better quality. Buyers out there, don’t be fooled by the products displayed in the store. Because LED is the new phase, so what they do is they place the LCD and LED side by side for comparison. I saw these two units at the store and the LCD was no match to the LED. The reason is this, at the store the place the LCD on the lower solution and that makes the LCD look cheap. After I got the unit, turned it on and the picture is beautiful, flawless, awesome. Making the football season is amazing on the HD. The red touch is very cool to some. That means you can turn on or off the unit with a soft touch in the front without using remote control. The sound is OK to me. I am looking to buy another Samsung when the price is right. Goodluck to all with Samsung.

5 Stars 55″ of great viewing
I recieved this TV about a month ago, I absolutely love it. I know that this TV has the very best picture of any TV that I have ever seen. Coupled with my new Sony Blue Ray player, the viewing experience is marvelous, simply marvelous.

5 Stars Awesome
This is my third Samsung in the past 4 years. I started with the first gen LED DLP which crapped out and then was replaced by the hl61A750 which is an amazing piece of work and is still kicking. I also purchased my first LCD as the ln40a650 which has since been moved to my bedroom to make room for the ln55b650 which I will review here.

This TV is amazing. Some may dislike the bevel in the middle but I don’t even notice it, partly due to the fact that my center speaker is blocking it. I currently have the tv on a stand slightly higher than eye level, which is somewhat unfortunate. Straight on this picture is the best I’ve seen as of yet except for the DLP. Off center though you lose a little bit of depth and things become kinda purple/blue. My setup is just a couch in front of the tv though so I only have that problem when I’m in the kitchen and watching. Colors look natural and beautiful on this set, which keeps up with the Samsung standard I have grown to love. To watch DVDs I now use my PS3 and they look great. I believe I’ve turned off the AMP feature as I’ve noticed there is slight input lag especially when it comes to gaming. (Tested in demo mode w/ games like guitar hero where you can see the difference) For TV and movies it might not be bad, but I’m ok with how it looks normally. 24p works flawlessly with blu-ray and the picture is amazing. Wall-E is the only movie I have since it came with the PS3 but it’s great. Blacks are black and the whites are white. Completely satisfied with this TV.

I purchased this TV for $1800 here I guess during some amazing 2 day special because the price has been fluctuating. But at that price it can’t be beat. If you’re considering this set, just get it. you won’t be let down.

5 Stars Amazing Picture!
We love our new HDTV. The picture is sharp and vibrant. The onscreen menu options are easy to use.

5 Stars Great HDTV
Great HDTV, picture is fantastic. Don’t know about audio as I have it hooked up to a home theater. I have it hanging on a wall so it takes up no space at all. Easy to set up, only needed my neighbor to help me lift in on the wall. What can I say, I’m getting older. Great for watching football or blu ray. Recommended.
