Strengths: Fantastic picture, beautiful design, HD stations are incredible!!
Weaknesses: The remote sucks.
Overall Evaluation: This TV is by far the best value for it's capabilities. I compared the Sony 52"LCD TV's to this one and there was no comparison. The quick refresh time of 4ms is the best in the marketplace. Samsung is doing what they do best, making great TV's.......

Strengths: Great picture, adjustability
Weaknesses: one color available right now
Overall Evaluation: This is a great lcd tv. I did a lot of research before buying something this expensive, and it came down to this and the Sony XBR4. I honestly think the picture on the Samsung is better when sitting side-by-side with the Sony....Plus it's cheaper! I was also debating on size...46 or 52... While the 46 would have sufficed, I'm glad I went with the 52 incase I move into a bigger house or something. If you're on the fence, get off of it and get this tv; you won't regret it.

Strengths: Light, slim, extremely programable, well made and amazing picture quality
Weaknesses: Not cheap
Overall Evaluation: I've owned this LCD for about 2 weeks now and I must say it's some amazing kit. I'm not "cheap" per se just frugal but I must admit that this is about the best purchase I've made in years. Wonderfully versatile with a great picture and with 4 "stretch" modes you're sure to find something that'll make your movie look great. But with confidence, Samsung is great gear.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: high contrast ratio; 120 hz; plenty of inputs!
Weaknesses: glossy screen
Overall Evaluation: I've owned this TV for about a week now and absolutely love it! I've been contemplating for months if I should get this TV or the new Sony w4100 but I jumped the gun and purchased this set with no regrets. There are too many good things to say about this TV but my only con would be its glossy screen. Depending on the lighting of your room this may not be an issue but it was for me. Other than that, this TV is probably the best out there right now.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Picture quality and brightness; fast-action motion; plug-and-play set up; inputs; low weight
Weaknesses: Too many menu options; sound quality; slow menu navigation; remote control
Overall Evaluation: First foray into big screen/HD. Not a videophile but picture is great, particularly brightness and contrast ratio. Motion, for example, sports, still pixelates but better than anything else on the market. 120 Hz improves motion (split screen demo mode is neat) but not sure worth extra money. Yes, screen is reflective material but picture brightness makes it irrelevant. Plug and play and convenient inputs makes it easy to set up, but the array of picture menu options is confusing. Who needs all that

Strengths: Great picture! 4 HDMI inputs!
Weaknesses: Remote wheel sucks!
Overall Evaluation: Truely this Tv has great picture and it upscling of SD content is not bad at all! Lots of inputs and it is not too shiny screen. The only thing I don't like is the remote specifically the wheel since I frequently turn it by mistake. i think it is not a very good design. Otherwise the TV is really good!

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Picture 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio 4ms response time 4 HDMI 1.3 ports Side-mounted USB 2.0 port infolink
Weaknesses: TV has none - Remote's wheel control
Overall Evaluation: Had this TV for a little over a week and can not find a flaw. No blurring noted with the 4ms. DVD's and movies look like your watching real-life. The 650 has a picture with great depth and color from any angle. Much talk has been about the TOC bezel. I think Samsung has hit on a nice effect with the TOC. It adds just a touch of red and sets this tv apart from all others. Most of the time you don't even notice it. I think this is best the LCD on the market

Strengths: Picture quality both HD and non HD. Built in speakers are great. TOC is beautiful.
Weaknesses: None
Overall Evaluation: I got mine on May 5th. Delivery was excellent. Lots of features and easy to setup and start using right away. I had the cable company install an HD DVR and then also check the signal strength on the cable. Signal was low, so the cable guy put in an amplifier. Analog shows look very good. HD is amazing on this TV. If you register your warranty On line then Samsung gives you an extra 3 months of warranty. If you buy with VISA you might also get an extra free year of warranty from VISA. I think Mastercard does the same. I'm currently using video cables and the picture is perfect. The remote is made for the hand and easy to use.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Glossy Screen. Deep Blacks. Bright Whites. No noticeable TBE. Perfect for fast gaming.
Weaknesses: Glossy Screen. Reflective. Red TOC may not match your setup.
Overall Evaluation: The glossy screen is a matter of contention for some viewers. In a dark room, it works perfectly, but as soon as it gets bright be careful of reflections. It gets annoying seeing yourself in the tv during the daytime, but I guess this has been a sticking point with TV's for years now. The anti-reflective coating on this TV is better than those of prior years. I must also comment on how good this picture is, so much so I upgraded from the 46" to the 52" knowing that I'd be holding on to this puppy for a good time to come. Gaming is as good here, if not better, than on my plasma. Highly recommended.
