Samsung LN52A650 Review | My Thoughts on the Samsung LN52A650
Samsung LN52A650: I looked at a lot of different tv's before I finally bought this one online at Amazon.com. Their price was much lower than BestBuy offered and included FREE SHIPPING. I received the TV in 3 days. The picture on this tv is amazing especially with blu-ray (at 24 frames) and games on the ps3 and 360. I have a sharp 52" aquos that this replaced and it is by far the superior tv. I went with the 650 over the 750 because I didn't need embedded memory. The picture is much better than the sony or the new sharp's. The only thing is the remote wheel could be better but in all honesty I bought it for the picture not the remote or the sound. I have the speakers turned off so I can't comment on those. Basically if you want an outstanding picture buy this tv its definitely the way to go.

When I purchased this TV from Amazon.com I had already decided on this Samsung 52" series and was trying to decide between the 650 and the 750. At the time there was a small price difference between the two on Amazon.com. I ended up choosing the 650 because I was placing the TV inside a nook that had limited space.
The 650 has a less bulky frame around the LCD screen and therefore it was only 50.2 inches wide (Amazon has the TV dimensions incorrectly listed as 52" wide) as compared to the 750 which is 52" wide. Both screens have the same display area, just a different width.
The other reason I chose the 650 is that it can swivel on the base, whereas the 750 is fixed on its base. Because I have placed the TV in a nook, this swivel feature has come in very handy as I have had to get behind the it several times to plug in cords, etc.
I have read a lot about screen reflection and was bracing myself for a potentially unpleasant experience during daytime viewing, especially since the room the TV is in has windows all the way across two walls and is full of sunlight daily. I'm happy to report that screen reflection is absolutely no problem. The TV I was replacing with the Samsung LCD was an older 32" Panasonic Panablack analog TV with the glass screen, which had a lot of reflection. As a point of reference, the Samsung has about 20% of the screen reflection of my old TV (judging from when the TV is off). When the TV is on, the Samsung is about 5% of screen reflection from what I used to have with my old TV, which may be due to the incredible brightness of the display.
I'm the type of person who over-analyzes every major purchase in the hopes that I can avoid buyer's remorse, if possible. I spent a number of months on this decision and I feel like I hit a home run with this purchase. Samsung has exceeded my expectations with this model and I have been very satisfied with the experience of buying a TV from Amazon.com.
