    Strengths: Amazing picture, fairly nice sound.

    Weaknesses:None

    Overall Evaluation: I would recommend this TV to all that are looking for a 40" LCD.It's 120Hz technology surprised me with the quality of the image during action scenes with a lot of things moving on the screen in the same time.Color and contrast are amazing.I also play games on the set and it behaves flawleslly.

    Strengths: very bright/vibrant picture, natural color reproduction, sleek footprint, nice shape , many inputs

    Weaknesses:price

    Overall Evaluation: 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 is between Samsung A650 and Sony XBR5.Do not hesitate to get one if you can afford it. The price difference is well worth the better picture!

    Strengths: Price, Picture Quality, Tons of connections

    Weaknesses:Remote Control

    Overall Evaluation: Some sites mention these samsungs have poor audio quality, but I have not had a problem with them. The remote control on the other hand seems to lag on any button you want to press. The 120hz and 1080p makes watching TV and especially blurays extremely smooth (maybe too smooth?). For example, during a chase seen in Kiss of the Dragon, vehicles appear to glide, as if on ice, during accelerations and turns. There are options however in the menu that allow you to control your AutoMotion sensitivity. The set is visually pleasing to look at while off, and for those on the fence by being turned off by the Touch of Color, the red is actually a deep red that almost blends into the frame anyways. At first, I was also displeased at Samsung's ToC, but when looking at it from a distance in stores and at home, one would barely even notice it. I feel for what it's worth, this is the best bang for the buck series of LCDs on the market today.

    Strengths: Swivel stand, produce less heat & power than plasma.

    Weaknesses:Out of focus sharpness, flashlight, purple haze, clouding, laggy for 120hz set, stuttering fast foward AMP feature, cheapy design, blind touch screen & price.

    Overall Evaluation: This HDTV is the worst major purchase I ever made. Why you ask, my other hdtv Panasonic 720P 60hz 42 inch plasma?s picture is 10 time better than this TV(did compare side by side) and much cheaper. And it display closed caption properly on both SDTV and HDTV mode whilst this TV can?t display CC on SDTV mode. My 60hz plasma display picure motion is way smooth than this laggy 120hz set. Right now my TV about 2 week old and already have a flashlight issue on three corner which I just found out that is common on this model. Go buy this TV if you want out of focus picture, purple haze, flashlight with loose bezel on the corner of your frame. It is impossible to find touch screen button on front of your set. I still can?t believe I pay $1,400 for this set compare to my old plasma set. I wish I went out and bought a plasma HDTV instead of this Samsung garbage. The only best thing about this purchase is fast smooth shipping by Buydig.

    Strengths: Numerous HDMI inputs. Superb picture quality. Great contrast. Good sound quality - although I have mine hooked up to a separate speaker system.

    Weaknesses:Does not turn on instantly. It takes around 5-10sec to get fully functional. I have it connected to an Onkyo A/V receiver with which it works very well.Touch of Color. Red

    Overall Evaluation: Overall, I recommend this television to anyone. I would have gotten a larger one, but none larger would fit in my armoire (wife wouldn't let me get a new tv stand).
