Samsung LN46A650 - 46 1080p LCD HDTV - 50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio - 120Hz - 4ms Response Time

I bought this TV about nine months ago and recently, it started to show verticle lines. I called Amazon and they differed me to Samsung. I called Samsung.They were very polite and scheduled an appointment to fix my TV. The techinician had to come back three times to fix the TV. He suggested to buy high priced electronics form big chain stores such as Best Buy, [...] or Sears as they are classified as Class I stores to receive the best quality prodduct. The Class II stores, such as smaller chain stores, get the B quality products and lastly, the C grade products are sold to online clearance such as Amazon. He indicated that majority of his service calls are for the TVs purchased through online retail places. My TV is fixed for now and keeping my finger crossed as I only have few months left on warrenty.

Samsung LN46A650 - 46 1080p LCD HDTV - 50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio - 120Hz - 4ms Response Time

I've now viewed two Samsung LCD tvs including this model. They both have the same disconcerting problem that others may call a feature. Yes, the picture is sharp. However, objects in the foreground are excessively sharp and well defined relative to the background. It makes me feel like I'm watching the program through a cheap digicam. I don't know what you'd call this effect but I can't call it a good viewing experience. Now, that picture 'feature' may be good for football games but not for network tv shows where it's the most pronounced. It's evident to a lesser extent on movies. I would not buy this tv.

Samsung LN46A650 - 46 1080p LCD HDTV - 50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio - 120Hz - 4ms Response Time

I purchased the LN46A650 in December 08 and it is my first flat panel television. I currently have an aging Pioneer Elite RPTV in the den/home theater so this Samsung is for the kitchen/family room.

Delivery: Overall delivery was very good and set up was ok, although the delivery man told my wife he could not connect it to our cable (Fios HD), only to an antenna. Since I don't have an antenna he turned it on to static and was then satisfied it was working and left.

Initial Impression: When I got home and connected it to the Fios box with HDMI my wife's first words were that it just looks so much more high def than our Pioneer HDTV and I agreed.

Physical: I was initially very worried about the red touch of color, but it really is barely noticeable unless there is a back light or a lot of light in the room. The TV is not too heavy and overall has a very attractive sleek look. It does collect dust on the bezel and stand especially, so dust often.

Interface/Controls: The menu system

...

looks very nice and there are an extensive set of controls, but the response could be faster. The remote control has an innovative scroll wheel, but the response is too slow to make it practical. There are also some controls that would be very nice to have quick access to, such as the AMP function and backlight. Ideally you should be able to save different custom settings and then toggle between them such as for daytime, low light, or sports. You can switch between Dynamic, Standard and Movie, but since only Movie lets you get accurate calibration, it's not as useful as letting you save any custom settings as a preset. The TV is slow to start up and lock onto the HDMI signal - not really a big deal.

Performance: I adjusted the TV using values published on CNET and other sites with some minor tweaking. I am versed on calibrating TVs although I do not have test equipment. From a straight on viewing angle the black level is very good and the contrast is outstanding. The black level actually looks even better during the day when there is more light in the room - looking as dark as the bezel. In low light the blacks are not as dark as they could be, but better than almost all other LCDs. The colors are also very accurate and high definition signals really look amazing. I believe that the type of screen helps with the contrast and black level, but it is reflective. However, even in my heavily windowed great room in the day the reflections are not that noticeable when watching.

Standard definition looks pretty good given the limitations of SD and the incoming signal. The AMP function does its job and I don't see any noticeable artifacts, but it does cause the soap opera effect, making things look like video instead of film. I usually turn it off except for sports on occasion. One thing I noticed was some scrolling text is sometimes jerky, but that can be resolved using the Film mode setting of Auto 2.

Negatives: The only real disappointment I have is with the viewing angle. The picture, while amazing from straight on, starts to degrade even 15-20 degrees off center. The black level rises and the contrast drops so the picture looks like there is a haze over it. I am very suprised about the many reviews here that say the viewing angle is outstanding and there is no loss in picture quality from the sides. While you can still see the picture from even very sharp angles the picture gets considerably washed out. Others who have posted otherwise must not be very critical in their viewing.

Wish List: This is an outstanding TV. There are only a couple requests I have to make it just about perfect:
- Better viewing angle without loss of black and contrast
- Light sensor to adjust the backlight based on the ambient room light
- Ability to preset any configuration and easily switch between them
- Direct buttons for adjusting backlight and AMP settings
- Even better black levels
- Less reflective screen
- No touch of color - or the new gray one.

Given an HD input source (i.e., HD cable or DVD/Blue-Ray) the monitor will produce very sharp pictures. Watching standard definition programs, however, is a bit disappointing. Standard def video images appear blurred and there is visible pixelation.

The remote control is easy to use with large buttons and a relatively intuitive layout. Note: the Closed Caption button will only work if the TV is connected to your cable box via the "Antenna" input jack. If you are connecting to your cable system via the component or HDMI jacks, then Closed Captioning can only be activated via the cable provider's remote control unit.

Due to the many connection options provided with this unit, I had to contact Samsung technical support to get a better understanding of the various inputs for antenna, component and HDMI connections.

Product: Samsung LN46A650 - 46 1080p LCD HDTV - 50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio - 120Hz - 4ms Response Time
Posted on Jul 1, 2009 12:35 am

Films that are shown at 120hz look like video because our brains process images at the equivalent of about 60hz. Film has traditionally had that "dreamy" look because it was shot at 24 frames per second, which introduces motion blur, (many things in life move faster than what 24 frames per second can capture as a still image). I was just looking at this TV and other 120hz models at Best Buy. They were playing clips from "Pirates of the Caribbean and Speed. The picture was razor sharp, but it was TOO sharp. The movies did not look the way they looked in the theatre when they were projected on film at 24 frames per second. The lack of any motion blur was unnatural. In case you're interested, the reason why your computer screen will flicker and you will get headackes if your refresh rate is set below 60 hz is also because your brain processes images at the equivalent of 60hz. Wagon wheels appear to spin in the opposite direction when they are spinning around at the equivalent of 60hz because of this reason, also. As for the TV, I have to go with a 60hz set. I could never watch movies on a 60hz set.
