The picture is amazing when a 1080i or 1080p source is playing. It's like being in a movie theater. 720p is soft and 480p is softer and you can really see the difference of 1080i/1080p vs 720p and 480p on a screen this big.
Controls on the remote are pretty easy to understand. Color controls are very good. There are 3 settings depending on the ambient light and you can quickly switch from 1 to the other. Screen controls are also easy to understand and easy to switch back and forth from 16:9 to "wide fit/screen fit" depending on the signal.
The two things that I have a slight problem with are the connector tube to the stand and the design of the remote. The tube could be sturdier. The remote handle curves down and out (sort of like the old Star Trek phaser grip) and this causes the remote to drop off the coffee table onto the floor if you don't take the time to put it EXACTLY entirely on the table. Annoying when you just want to watch the show/movie/game.
The sound coming from the unit is good but I plan on hooking it up to a home theater system.
Overall, I think the Samsung is an excellent unit and purchasing from Amazon Warehouse is a fantastic way to save lots of money!
Pros: 4 HDMI Ports.
1080P
Adjustable picture format (4:3, 16:9, Automatic)
Beautiful picture (Sometimes too realistic!)
Decent Sound
Easy Menu options Easy but plentiful configuration options.
Simple Remote.
Cons: No Picture in Picture
Location of power cord connection.
I couldn't afford two.
Other Thoughts: This TV is an incredible value for the price I paid. I had been shopping around for months (since I had a personal financial issue and had to sell my Vizio 42 1080i), but wanted to go with a 1080p, because I plan to buy a BluRay player by the end of the year.
I saw this at a local retailer at a really nice price and decided to go with it. I have no regrets, except that I could not afford two.
The picture is SUPERB. In the store, it sat next to a Sony Bravia 40 inch, and the picture was more brilliant, and colorful. I got it home and decided to watch Doomsday on it. WOW. Not to be too graphic, but There was a scene where they used a blood splatter effect. I felt like I needed to get a rag and a bucket. I'll leave it at that.
My only big complaint is the location of the power connector. it interferes with my mounting. But i drilled a hole through the plate so no qualms.
I am very satisified with this little TV. I was looking for something manageable in size to have on the corner of my desk in my home office and this unit has really worked out great. I have it connected to cable and the picture is respectable with standard analog cable channels, but where it really shines is on the hi-def channels. Most cable operators broadcast local hi-def channels free and clear (not scrambled) and this TV has a QAM tuner which can pick those up - and they are really sharp. For the money (its available at Sam's Club for 9), you really can't beat it.
I love this TV. I bought it for 0 during the customer vote in 2008.
I use this tv with Dish Network HD, Playstation 3 gaming and blurays, and a Nintendo Wii.
Dish- Picture is great. I have the dish set up to broadcast in 720p, because I watch mostly sports and the progressive looks better than interlaced, a little smoother. I rarely see any motion blur. Even in baseball, the video always looks crisp. All of the HD content looks great. The SD leaves much to be desired, but why watch SD when HD is available?
Playstation gaming and blurays- Gaming looks great. The video is smooth. Blurays are unbelievably crisp. They are absolutely stunning.
Wii-For a non HD device, the video is very good.
Sound-Just terrible. It is painful to listen, and the two weeks it took for me to get surround, I rarely used the tv. It causes alot of ear fatigue. Part of the problem may be TV placement in a corner, but it still shouldn't be this bad. Samsung really dropped the ball with their sound.

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

This TV has a great high definition picture, not so much on digital channels that are not HD. I paid around 0 for this TV and use it in my kitchen. I would not pay that now for it since prices have come down. Probably would go with the 450 model on such a small TV, no real reason to spend the extra for the 650 and higher unless the Touch of color appeals to you. Don't think there is much difference in picture quality between the two as the picture quality of the 650 via digital cable is pretty bad. Has a serious lag when turning on and off as well.
The TV is great! Clear and sharp, great color, sound is good. The unit does not have built in Blu-ray though. I was told the add was incorrect and given the oppurtunity to get a refund, but chose to accept it and got a reduction in price.
This Polaroid DVD player also works as a regular TV and comes with a 181-channel cable-ready television tuner. What's more, this amazing under-cabinet player has a digital AM/FM stereo tuner that comes with 20 preset stations. The two 2.5-watt built-in stereo speakers deliver crisp, clear sound anywhere and everywhere, while the automatic channel programming makes setup incredibly easy. And as if that wasn't enough, this unit includes a built-in clock with a battery backup and an alarm and sleep timer.
With variable-height mounting, the FDM-700A will fit in virtually any cabinet and comes with an extremely handy, full-function remote control with a built-in magnet that allows you to store it upright on any metal surface, such as your refrigerator door. This Polaroid TV/DVD combo has a rear A/V input and a rear ANT coaxial input to connect to, allowing you to hook up a VCR, gaming console, or camcorder. Compact and unobtrusive, this unit weighs a modest 4.5 pounds and measures a slim three-inches high (with the screen in the up position), by 14-inches wide and 11.25 inches deep. The FDM-700A also features an on-screen display menu, sub-title selection, language selection, zoom, fast and slow forward/backward and step forward functions, and parental locks to make sure your kids don't watch inappropriate shows.

Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color
I bought this TV back in July of 2008 for 00. I have to say that this TV has proven to be a great product that has kept pace with the 2010 LCD models. Other than the new 2 inch LED models coming out this TV has a great picture quality whem combined with a good HD source (PS3, HD Set-top-box). Obviously this model has been replaced by the 750 and even the LN52B650 but when doing a side by side comparison the picture appears just as good. Samsung has released new features to the newer models but most of them are either marketing gimmicks are can be done with external hardware like a PS3. My only issue with this TV was the speakers, prior to setting up my receiver/5.1 setup the audio was very weak. I felt I had to set the audio to 60+ (TV was in a large open room), this is a minor issue as I would imagine most people purchasing a TV of this price have matched it up with at least a HT in a box.
| Samsung’s Series 6 marks the first appearance of TOC (Touch of Color) design in the 2008 LCD HDTV line-up. Inspired by designs from the automotive and fashion industries, Samsung’s unique unique Transparent and Opaque Color molding process creates a clean, smooth finish infused with a hint of a translucent color during the manufacturing process for an ultra-sleek appearance. |
| Up-to-the-minute access to weather, news, sports and stock information is just a cable and a click away through the HDTV’s Ethernet port and new InfoLink RSS service. An all-new user interface with digital contents management guide provides intuitive navigation and access to both internal and external content. |
| This technology doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 frames per second (120Hz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. Instead, the TV intelligently calculates the ‘middle’ image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 120Hz processor), making a fluid transition from one frame to the next. |
| Samsung enhances the clarity of select LCD HDTVs by replacing the light-diffusing plastic face of traditional LCD HDTVs with a natural black panel with a clear anti-glare shield. Reduced reflection of external light creates a new dimension in image clarity, highlighting black and darkened areas, enabling vibrant, more compelling colors and a brighter, clearer picture. Black will never again appear grayish. Black details will show in vivid black even in dark scenes. The latest version of Samsung’s breakthrough super clear panel technology makes colors appear more vibrant and blacks even deeper than ever. Enhanced films reduce glare and optimize off-angle viewing. |
