"Excellent decision from A to Z" on by seaeescapee
Pros: Great picture, deep blacks, lots of features, easy to setup and use
Cons: Shinny screen picks up reflections during the day but this can be compensated for by angling the screen a bit.
Summary: I have the 46 inch and it has a fantastic picture. Crystal clear and razor sharp with excellent color rendering and dark blacks. It was a snap to setup. Great on screen menus make it easy. I knew the glossy screen had its drawbacks when viewing during daylight since I have 6 windows in my viewing room. However, I did not know it would be so easy to compensate for. All I have to do is turn the screen a few degrees, easy with its adjustable base, and I can eliminate most of the glare without closing the blinds or sacrificing picture quality. I am very happy with it.

I almost forgot, I LOVE the red tones all around the frame. Quite unique! -
"Love it, except for the resetting thin." on by gilesmcgrath
Pros: GREAT PICTURE! Awesome black levels. I have not noticed any stuttering, triple ball effect or motiion blurring which were on the 71.
Cons: This model has bees resetting for everyone. I have had it 3 days and it has reset 3 times. Turns off, then back on again, but let me tell you, when it is on. It is amazing.
Summary: Over all an amazing TV. Will be even better when Samsung can fix the resetting issue.

"Worth Every Penny" on by ibetz
Pros: Picture Quality, aesthetics, ethernet capable, customer service
Cons: Remote Control (Samsung needs to consult with Steve Jobs on this one)
Summary: I know that buyers like to be reinforced in their purchasing decisions. This leads to hyperbole and exaggeration. Having said this- if you've been ambivalent about making a purchasing decision for a 52" 1080P 120 mhz LCD HDTV, it's time to pull the trigger. The Samsung 6 or 7 Series LCD's are cutting edge. I'll skip the technobabble and let you separate the wheat from the chaff. Aesthetically the sets color scheme and picture quality speak to me. Perhaps it might speak to you?

"Terrific on the verge of unbelievable" on by artappraiserman
Pros: Excellent, deep blacks, true to life color and expanded color range
Cons: Some Glare to screen, but worth it for such a great picture
Summary: I am a fine arts and personal property appraiser and estate liquidator and have a very discerning eye to detail.
The 650 has an ubelievable picture. It feels at times that you are there or watching a play as the blacks are so intense isolating the characters. Once you get used to it you will find this is a great feature. Even the sound and voices appear to eminating from the actor's mouths.
I recently purchased the previous model the 52" 665 from Samsung which I quickly returned to Amazon and got this one, after trying to resolve the issues with a Samsung Rep. The other TV suffered from severe motion blur, jagger, tiple ball effect and ghosting of images that made it unwatchable. They suggested the new 650 which had a faster refresh rate and 120 hz. They were right
I am extremely happy with this set and its compatability with the Samsung upconvert DVD I got with the previous model. It also was very easy to set up, and operate.
Its subdued red outlined bezel works well with the new woodtone stand/cabinet I bought for it. It looks very elegant with its shiny screen as well.
I have two other LCDs. A 26" Sony Wega which is 4 years old, and 40"Bravia V2500. The Wega has excellent true life color, but limited side, top and bottom viewing range. The Bravia has a washed out unnatural look to the color, except for DVDs. However it makes up for it with its extreme clarity. Both the Wega, and Bravia exhibit some motion blur, especially the V2500 when it records a digital broadcast and the movement in a character's face is distorted.
The new 650 appears to have surmounted all these problems with beautiful color, an expanded color palate, multi-directional viewing cabilities, with little degredation. And thank G-D no blur, triple ball effect or judder as charcters approach from mid ground. Excellent on screen programming.
This is the next step in LCD TV development. Myself and my family are very pleased -
"Great LCD want one that has NO 120hz feature" on by 76astout
Pros: has many settings, game mode, 24hz 1080p
Cons: 120hz seems fake, hard to get used to
Summary: this tv is awesome. it has everything i could want. the game mode is key! i use it w/blu ray and the image looks awesome! not a single complaint about picture!!! refresh is high and so many options i don't know where to start. the only downside, if you can call it that, is that i always keep the 120hz feature "off". why, because the manuel says that if "noise" is produced by the 120 hz function, then turn it off. well, i notice that the 120 hz function always produces some noise. i only wish the tv came in a downgrade model w/out 120 hz feature. the contrast and refresh and game mode and 24p are enough to keep me happy till the new HD software/hardware comes out.
