Great HDTV, July 13, 2009

Wonderful picture, especially with HD input. Totally sharp, no fringes or visual noise.

The delivery and installation was very professional. One recommendation: put something like an old sheet on the floor where they will open the box. From the delivery truck floor, the box can pick up some black smudges, which can transfer to your floor.

We have the TV in a corner facing diagonally out away from windows in both walls of the corner, and this way glare is no problem on the glossy face. The 46" is a good size for our small living room.

It's a good looking unit, and the few wires can be hidden behind the center post with a built-in strap and a supplied wrap-around white tube. The Red Touch is nice, but barely noticeable.

A USB thumb drive can be plugged in behind the right-hand edge. One way to use that is to use a computer to load the drive with pictures (jpg) and/or tunes (mp3). Then press "MEDIA.P" on the remote, select the thumb drive (with the red remote button), and select a stream of music or pictures. Pictures that are sized 1920x1080 pixels fit the screen perfectly and are very sharp.

The built-in speakers are OK, but we found a big improvement by adding a "ZVOX 550" powered-speakers unit. It is one flat box that lies flat beneath and supporting the TV. Highly recommended.

Great HDTV. Terrible manual, July 13, 2009

The TV arrived earlier than promised and once set up the picture is fantastic. Getting it set up was the real challange. There is no operators manual! There are a few sheets of paper which have limited value, and the manual is on a USB memory stick which plugs into the USB slot on the TV. Not very user friendly and difficult to follow. Went on-line to find manual, but couldn't. Finally I had to hire someone to come in and set up the tv and add my DVD player to it. Now it works fine. Because I have the sound going through my surround sound system there is a slight delay between the picture and the sound. Lips and sound are out of sync.

so far so good, July 10, 2009

this television is exactly what i was looking for and a great price. there was not one bit of damage in shipping---came perfect. i've only had it about 3 weeks so can't give you longevity rating. hopeful it will last as it should. the only reason i gave it 4 stars is because i think it takes a little bit of time for the picture to materialize after i push on. that's pretty picky.

Samsung LN46B650, July 8, 2009

Initial set up directions for getting TV into the stand could be clearer but we did eventually figure it out. This TV certainly has a lot of viewing options. You can adjust contrast, 7 individual colors including flesh tones, backlight, sharpness, and a lot of other settings too numerous to mention. The TV remembers the settings for different options. You can go to [...] and download a manual which will give you an idea of the other various settings. (you might want to do this anyway before you buy the LN46B650 so that you can study up on the various settings) This TV does not come with a printed manual. I was raised on the printed page so I miss not having a printed manual. The manual is on an USB drive which can be accessed through one of the TV's USB ports or through a computer. I saved the USB content to my hardrive just in case.

This is a 1080p TV so should be good for awhile as far as future changes in broadcast industry. At this time I'm using it in 1080i mode as I think 1080p is not available in my area. I can get 720p. I think this will be a good set to have as the digital broadcast industry continues to develop. I think the LN46B650's capability exceeds the broadcast quality available in my area at this time.

I do not have a laptop computer so I haven't used the internet options that this set has. My desk top is too far from the TV to run a cable. I suppose I could go wireless and get Samsung's optional LinkStick wireless receiver(available from Amazon for about $59 last time I checked) that plugs into one of the sets USB ports.

I toned down the contrast from the default 95 to around 50 and lessened some of the other default settings too, as I think this may add some to the longevity of the set. I believe that if you run an LCD full out i.e. high brightness and contrast that it decreases the screen life. Here again I think Samsung could do a better job of explaining the pros and cons of various setup options.

Our set is opposite a picture window and there is some glare on the screen as a result so I usually pull the shade to lessen the glare. I could boost the backlight setting instead to help compensate for glare. LCD sets are supposed to be better regading glare then plasma sets and I think overall it does pretty well.

Samsung hypes the Touch of Color (TOC) a lot and as far as I can see this is really no big deal. It certainly not something I would pay extra for if I had the choice.

Generally we're pretty happy with this set especially when viewing programs in HD which are gorgeous. We would buy this set again and recommend it to a friend. Overall I'd give it four and a half stars. Before purchasing this set I did a lot of comparison viewing with other brands and I thought Samsung beat the others on flesh tones and overall had the best color. Interesting that this TV has a "store" mode and a "home" viewing mode. I suppose the store mode optimizes the viewing for that environment. I suspect stores boost or optimize TV settings to show TV's at their best. Hard to tell what a TV will look like until it's set up in your home. Try to buy at a store that has a good refund/exchange policy.

The speakers in this unit are adequate but certainly not impressive. If you want to feel the sound you'll need external spearkers. This set does have a built in equalizer and I tried boosting the bass some with little difference. One feature that we absolutely love is the auto volumn control. This is especially useful at night when other people may be in bed so that you do not get those annoyingly loud commercials blasting you out of the room. You can also turn off the auto volumn control. This set is very customizable. We've had this set for one month and I'm still learning the ins and outs of the numerous options available.

This set has a nice big viewing area but not too big. It was a significant investment for us and we feel lucky to have it. After putting up with our 27" RCA that was 15 years old and buzzed a lot and had color issues, this sure is nice. Very nice.

Samsung 46" LCD HDTV is the Best, July 7, 2009

I did my research, and everything pointed to Samsung for HD LCD TVs. I'm amazed how sharp the picture is and the colors are so vivid they seem to jump out at you, it almost feels like you're watching it in 3D. The TV itself is very sleek and modern looking, and I love the swivel feature. My husband's comment when he first saw the picture was, "Oh Wow." I definitely recommend this TV.

LCD 650B46", July 6, 2009

out of this world picture - watching the "tour" in HD is like being there,
sound is so-so, will add additional speakers soon. Good price from Amazon
and, as always, excellent service.

Samsung 46" LCD, June 28, 2009

I went to Best Buy in my home town and found the same product for at least 300 dollars more than Amazon. I decided to purchase this LCD from Amazon and my LCD was delivered within 3 days. I am extremely happy with Amazon service and its savings.

Samsung LN46B650, June 22, 2009

I just purchased a Samsung Ln46B650 TV. The front control panel is a hunt and peck control panel. There are no control buttons are light to see or touch to turn the Tv on,select channels or volume and etc. The volume is very low when connected to a home audio system. I have reported these problems to Samsung about 2 weeks ago and I have not heard back from them as promise. I am very impressed with Amazon's customer care service. They offer to replace the TV or refund my money. I think I will keep the TV because I am not in the mood to go through the TV exchange process. You will not find many or any American companies that has that kind of customer service.

Samsung, June 22, 2009

This TV is the 3rd Samsung in our household, and is absolutely beautiful. The picture quality is fabulous. The set up was easy and very compatible with Fios. I was a little worried about purchasing a TV through the mail, but would recommend it highly. The delivery schedule was exactly as promised and was implemented flawlessly
