 Reset issue fixed with a simple firmware update Apr 16, 2008
By F. Ramirez
First of all, Amazon's white glove delivery service was great. I was a little hesitant about buying a TV of this size online but now that I've gone through the process I would do it again in a heart beat.
For those of you who have been following the news on the A650s, the reset issue has been fixed with the latest firmware. Chances are you will have to upgrade the firmware yourself when the TV arrives but it is pretty simple procedure using a USB thumb drive and Samsung provides step by step instructions with photos if you need them.
I've had my TV for about four days now and I'm still completely blown away by clarity, detail and colors this set produces. The LN40A650 has three HDMI inputs on the back, and one HDMI input on left side which made my devices incredibly easy to hook up. I then watched Ratatouille followed by Apocalypto, both on Blu-ray - great movies to show off your new set.
The 40" is the only model in the 6 series that has a fan built into the screen. Some people may be put off because of this but the good news is that this fan is completely inaudible. This weekend we had 90 degree Santa Ana winds here in California and even with out any air conditioning, I still couldn't hear the fan.
When I first saw the Touch of Color online I was indifferent. I don't really care for the color red but now that I have the set, it's slowly growing on me. All of the stock Samsung photos show a vibrant red but with my 40A650 in the living room it has the perfect amount of color. It's not strong enough to steal my focus away while watching TV but at the same time it looks great when the TV is shut off. I believe the rest of the colors have been announced so if red isn't your thing then it's just a matter of time.
The glossy piano black of the A650s does cause reflections at times but I don't consider it to be a deal breaker. It's easier to notice the reflections during the day but I still experimented with light placement so that lamp reflections were not visible at night. Most of the time I only notice the reflections when I'm actively looking for them and it has never interfered with my viewing experience but it's something to consider.
While you're not going to get any realistic surround sound out of the built in speakers, they do come with a little power if needed. I'll be upgrading to a 5.1 system pretty soon and the built in speakers are more than enough to hold me over. If you're not planning on using anything but the built in speakers then the 7 series television might interest you with it's built in subwoofer.

Overall I'm extremely pleased with the LN40A650 and my purchase experience through Amazon
QUICK UPDATE: September 30th 2008. No problems to report. It has now been 5 1/2 months and I still love this TV.

I love this tv! May 17, 2008
By Bjornstam
"book lover"
I did a lot of research before deciding on this Samsung. I wanted 1080p with Auto Motion Plus 120Hz, and I wanted at least a 40 inch screen. After spending about 30 or 40 hours comparing this model with comparable models, I bought this on Amazon and I have been absolutely thrilled! The picture was beautiful right out of the box, and the HD signals from my DirecTV satellite are transformed into the clearest, sharpest images I have ever seen on a television. We can't wait for the prices on Blu Ray players to drop so that we can start watching all our movies in high definition! The sound from the speakers is fine, but you will need external speakers and a receiver (or an HTIB) to get the best audio experience. For people who have lots of A/V sources, this tv has four HDMI inputs, so you aren't going to run out of inputs anytime soon. In fact, I only use one HDMI cable from my Yamaha RX-V663BL 665 Watt 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver.
The "Touch of Color" feature wasn't a factor in my purchase, but it looks terrific in our living room and matches our color scheme very nicely. I was a bit wary about buying a television online, but Amazon made the transaction super smooth - delivery was super fast and FREE. Overall, I felt this model offered terrific value and performance, and I have been completely satisfied. If you are viewing from a distance of 10 feet or more, get the 46 inch or larger.

This is the TV you've been waiting for Apr 22, 2008
By Eric L. White
After months of researching all the different LCDs out there, this TV beats the hands down. At first I had ordered the 4071 from Amazon, then 2 days later after it was too late to cancel I saw this TV which has twice the contrast ration and half the responce time for only $50 dollars more than what I paid for the 4071. The CEVA shipping was excellent, the TV arrived a week sooner than estimated.
Pros: Excellent unbelievable picture that you have to see to believe. I watched 300 and Troy on Blu-ray through my PS3 and it was amazing. It's like looking out your window and watching an epic battle. The 120hz really brings out the full potential of the movies. The 120hz also is great for gaming. While playing Oblivion it definitly adds smoothness to the environment and the movement of characters. The differemce it completely night and day. The Touch of Color is pretty cool it's very subtle where it gives a nice accent without being too over powering. I was almost worried I wouldn't be able to see it, whenever I would go to Circuit City or Best Buy I could never see it. I have the TV placed in my bedroom with a cielling light and a window across from the TV and have experienced no ploblems with glare.
Cons: It's a dust magnet I'v had it less than I week and it's already getting a thin layer of dust on it. The remote is ok, they could've done w/o the rotating directional control.
Conclusion: If you are looking for a high quality tv at a reasonalbe price look no further than this. Believe me I've looked. Don't kop out and sell yourself short and just get any TV. Save and invest the extra money into getting a top of the line TV without a top of the line price. I guarantee you once you've seen this picture you won't be sorry.

 Just a warning Aug 31, 2008
By B. M
Just a little warning about their warranty policy. Samsung doesn't replace broken TVs even if they are brand new. I bought this TV and within 1 day there was vertical lines showing up. Within 1 week there were several different color lines. Samsung contacted a local TV repair to fix it and I was not impressed with the repair shop. They wanted to order a new LCD panel to replace it which would take 2 weeks just to come in. I was already out the TV 2 weeks. I said forget it and return it back to me so I can just return it back to amazon within the 30day return policy. I do not want a brand new TV that has been taken a part and possibly fixed correctly.
The TV is very nice, obviously I got a lemon. I will probably just buy the same model again. I do not like the 120hz option. It makes the scenes look awkward and not natural. So I just turned it off.

 Beautiful picture quality and amazing features with very minor annoyances May 19, 2008
By Jonathan Focarino
Pros: Amazing picture quality. Great connectivity options and features.
Cons: Click wheel remote is inaccurate. CEVA shipping will cause you headaches if you live in the metropolitan New York area. Auto motion plus will cause stuttering on medium to high setting.
The Samsung 40a650 is the best LCD on the market right now. The picture quality is fantastic and the connectivity and features are plentiful. The touch of red outlining the frame is very subtle and does not distract from viewing whatsoever.
There are a few minor issues, but nothing to deter from a purchase. First, the click wheel remote is inaccurate and has slow response. The menu system however, is fairly easy to navigate and features large readable text.
The shipping from CEVA is horrible. Expect more than your fair share of headaches. They changed my delivery time without consulting me and then showed up when I was at work. I re-scheduled and they dropped my TV off at the curb and I had to bring it up my driveway myself. They then asked me to sign a form that said they were willing to set up the TV wherever I asked them too. I live in Long Island, NY so experiences will vary depending on your location. On a related note, Amazon can be difficult to deal with as well. They outsource a great deal of their customer service to India and there is definitely difficulty in communication. I needed to change my shipping address and they were uncooperative and offered little to no solution to the problem.
I am an avid gamer and the Xbox 360 looks amazing. Games look sharp and detailed. The brightness of the LCD screen really helps when playing darker games like Bioshock. The flowing water was smooth thanks to the auto motion plus (low) and the game mode created a very believable surround sound effect.
Lastly, the auto motion plus is improved, but not perfected. On low is provides a nice smoothing effect that lessens blur and judder. This is especially evident in camera pans and credits. It makes motion in games much smoother as well. The downside is that stuttering will occur on medium and especially on high. Be warned if the 120 Hz feature is a must have for you. I figured since this feature can be turned off, it's like having any other LCD, but with arguably the most stunning picture quality to date. It's nice to know that the feature is there when you need it.
Overall, this is a great HD television with forgivable imperfections. At the current price point, it's a steal. I recommend purchasing an extended warranty as Samsung has an unfortunate history with some of their LCD panels.
