  1. Samsung LN40A650

    Reviewer: YouReviewElectronics.com
    13 January 2009

    Up for review: Samsung LN40A650 LCD TV . The 40” LN40A650 is Samsung’s new Series 6 (650 series) LCD model. This series 6 ranges of LCD’s are loaded with even greater features as compared to the earlier series 5 and series 4. The black color bezel looks slicker with the latest touch of the color to make a fashion statement impressive for any kind of room décor. Read more

  2. Samsung LN40A650 1080p HDTV with InfoLink

    While a 40" TV may seem small for some people these days, I find that it is a great size and fits into most rooms without any issues.  The LN40A650 has a nice feature set, tons of inputs and very good picture quality.  As is the case with many TVs, the colors are boosted from the factory giving the TV an incredible first impression.  Once it was calibrated correctly, it performed even better - albeit a little less dazzling.

  3. Samsung LN40A650 40" LCD HDTV Review

    The Samsung LN40A650 LCD is not terribly different from the Samsung PN50A650 plasma.  In fact they are identical in almost every regard but there were differences that were seen.  Some of these differences were minor cosmetic changes, the positioning of internal speakers, the addition of a fan, but the major differences came during operation and how the HDTV handled motion and the “feel” of the picture.  And this major change is resulted by the fact that we have...

    Still early in the ownership and use, but the design, user interface, and picture are excellent. The sound is not as I would prefer without turning on a surround system, have not heard the 750 with the woofer included, but would be interested to see if that makes a difference. Other than that, very happy with the product. HD channels are crisp and vibrant, has the ability if you know what you are doing to adjust the picture to a very precise level in everything from...

    Pros: Great picture. Easy set up. 120 mhz motion feature + 4 hdmi inputs + picture in picture made this stand out in its price range. The touch of color plus the glass frame border are great touches that makes it a great showpiece. Cons: not the best TV sound, and in fact it cuts out from time to time, not sure why. Overall: great buy Read more

    I had spent a lot of time reading reviews and going to stores doing side by side comparisons before we bought this TV. This TV has a great picture and the best Blu-ray picture I have ever seen. However, you may need to download a firmware update for an auto shut off problem some people have reported - The update is thru Samsung. I have not had any problems and would highly recommend this TV. Read more

    I just moved to a new house and purchased this TV for my living room. I surveyed so many models on line. The final decision is Samsung LN40A650. I have to say if you can buy it you will not regret it . Actually, I have another Sony 40XBR5 at dining room! Samsung's picture quality is astounding and looks extremely realistic compared with Sony. Especially the dark level. If you are considering to buy Sony XBR now, try to go to BB or CC to take a look to see how different... Read more

    I got this tv about a month ago and am very satisfied with it! Its got a beautiful design and the picture quality is fantastic! I haven't had the chance to try out all the features but my cousin has the same tv and his features are awesome, especially the infolink. This is a terrific buy and folks, if you're looking for a tv of great quality with lots of features, this is your best bet! I only wish I would've gotten a bigger size,possibly a 52" or so. However, if you... Read more
