Editorial Review :

Samsung¿s LN22B650 takes your HDTV enjoyment ¿ and capabilities ¿ to new heights. The power of HD 720p resolution delivers clear, vivid images on a 22-inch LCD screen. Connect your DVD or Blu-ray Disc player easily, using the HDMI input. SRS TruSurround HD sound provides the big, crystal-clear audio to match all the HD excitement. And highlight nearly any room in the house with a unique charcoal grey accent at the bezel¿s edge, courtesy of the Touch of Color design. The Wide Color Enhancer renders the most vivid tones, for a more realistic picture quality.

A Superb TV for a small room

The TV is perfect for a small room (bedroom, dorm, kitchen, etc) and should not be compared to much larger units. The picture is brilliant in HD with vivid colors. Setup was easy. And the sound is ok, not great. But remember, small TV's have small speakers. In this model, two 3watt speakers. With some adjustment, the sound was passable. Decent volumn but no base. Most of the reviews on this model, as well as other small TV's rate sound as mediocre. Not the case. Once you see the fantastic picture, you expect a rich base sound experience to accompany a movie. Get real. You can always add bookshelf speakers. I am very happy with the purchase.

AVERAGE WITH A FEW SHORT-COMINGS

GENERAL INFORMATION
This set is being used in a kitchen, replacing a 5-yr-old 17" Phillips LCD (not digital/HD ).
Reason for replacement is I wanted more viewing (screen) area.
Viewing distance typically ranges from 8 feet (during meals) to 15 feet (meal preparation & clean-up).
Typically used to watch national news/stock market ticker.
Connection: Comcast cable - no cable box nor cable card.
The following descriptions of picture quality were made using analog channels.

PROS
- Screen displays a picture within 8 seconds of powering on, compared to 15 seconds on the replaced 17" Phillips LCD.
- The 'blank' time between (changing) channels is about three seconds less than the Phillips, but comparable to two other 32" Sony digital/HD TVs.
- Initial setup was reasonably intuitive. I scanned the Quick Set Up Guide before starting.

CONS
- During set up, before initiating the 'Find channels' step, I was directed to select the cable signal type used by the cable provider (Comcast), and given a choice of STANDARD, IRC & HRC; there was no explanation/definition provided in the Quick Setup Guide. I didn't know what the instruction meant, so tried each one (resetting the channels selected between each choice). IRC & HRC resulted in no digital/high def. channels being found, which left me with a reasonable guess of what to choose. However, to verify my choice, I looked on-line and found directions to use IRC [...]. But since that still didn't find digital/HD channels, I called Comcast and was told to use STANDARD, which added perhaps 50 hypenated channels (e.g. 132-1), including a few labeled HD on the viewed channel. Lacking a cable box, scrambled channels didn't display.

- The picture on the old 480 resolution Phillips was slightly superior to this 720 Samsung. I've tweaked the picture settings (brightness, contrast, sharpness, color & tint), but still haven't been able to match more natural skin tones that were displayed on the old Phillips and three other, larger Sony digital/HD TVs. Additionally, lack of picture sharpness is particularly annoying; objects often appear grainy and people's faces appear to have an excess of makeup to the point of blurring definiton of detail. That also applies to other scenes. The previously-mentioned Sonys (also viewing analog channels) have a similar problem, but not quite to the extent of this Samsung. I discussed it with a TV-repairman friend, who said it had something to do with the lack of processing power of the TV. I had wanted to buy a 22" Sony (Model KDL-22L5000), but waited too long (discontinued by Sony), and the location of the TV (between shelves) restricts using a larger size. In fairness, a Sony in this size-range may have similar problems - I've not viewed one. And of course if I wanted to pay Comast an additional [...]/month for another converter box, the problem might be moot, because I'd use the digital/HD channels. But that's not worth it to me for a set that gets about 60 minutes of use most days. Comcast already gets more of my money than I would like.

-Sound quality (out-of-the -box) was lousy, but tweaked to acceptable, by using TruSurround Sound and increasing the three lowest equalizer frequencies (bass side) significantly. Volume levels are lacking. The old Phillips was usually set at one-third of max-available volume. Depending on which channel is being used, this Samsung is often set closer to 45 percent of available volume. Maxing the volume is uncomfortable, but not overwhelming (No, I'm not deaf). Additionally with Auto Volume on, there is much less consistency of volume from channel to channel - some channels are harshly loud while others are far too soft. Disabling Auto Volume helps maintain levels from channel-to-channel, but the sound level (volume) drops a bit.

- The set is described on Samsung's web site as having "Touch of Color(tm) (which) adds a sophisticated touch to the bezel". The Samsung site shows it as a different color/shade on about 1/3 of the frame. The set I received is solid, glossy black. This point isn't an issue for me, but it's not what's described.

- When channels are stored as 'Favorites', they cannot be recalled from a list of Favorite channels. Push the button - a Favorite channel displays. Push it again for another Favorite channel, etc - in numeric order. If there's a way to display a list of ONLY the Favorites and then select one to watch, I haven't found it. Again, annoying.

SUMMARY
The set meets my criteria for a larger viewing area in the space available, but the (analog channels) picture quality is mediocre. I viewed the model at Best Buy before buying - it looked good, but was connected via digital/high def. Unless I add a converter box, I'll not be completely satisfied with it. Full disclosure: excepting the 17" Phillips, and this Samsung, the other three digital/high def. TV sets I own run through a cable box (1) or cable card (2).

Very Satisfied Customer

I received my new Samsung tv in less than week after ordering from Amazon and receiving the free shipping. The tv is slim and looks beautiful on the outside. I was able to pick up a few HD channels with a small indoor antenna. The picture is amazing. CBS in HD looks absolutely outstanding. I wish I had ordered this tv sooner so I could have watched the entire college football season on it. This tv is perfect for my bedroom and the volume is not an issue in a small room. Everything seems sturdy and the tv came with everything needed to setup and start watching within 10 minutes. A great buy.

Bedroom TV

TV arrived within several days of ordering same. Packaging was excellent and the TV arrived in perfect condition. Instructions for set up and viewing gave me some difficulty but that might be an age problem on my part. Excellent picture viewed from the bed since the LCD is pointed that way. Angle viewing beyond about 35 degrees from straight on causes considerable fading but not a problem for watching from the bed. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase. Wal Mart and other stores were selling old models of the 22" Samsung for prices in the $300-$350 range.

Second one is excellent

The first one was shipped very fast. Upon receipt, the color could not be properly adjusted. Poor contrast and just not a sharp or color correct picture. I requested a replacement and received it in 2 days. This one has a perfect picture and the sound is not bad for a small TV. I would recommend this one. We are very pleased.

Step up to larger screen sizes with full HD 1080p resolution. The improved picture quality of the LN40B530 begins with a 60,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and is made smoother and more vivid with a fast 6ms response time and Wide Color Enhancer 2 technology. Samsung's renowned "Piano Key Black" cabinet makes it a standout in any room.

Smokin' - literally!

TV was purchased less than 6 months ago. Was a "secondary" TV and was probably used a total of less than 50-75 hours. Yesterday morning started smelling a nasty electrical fire kind of a smell. TV was still working while I ran around trying to figure out where the smell was originating. In those few minutes the whole house got filled with this nasty smoke. Figured out it was the TV and unplugged it. Plugged the TV in again just to check in the evening. Great sound, no picture, still stinks. Anybody need a stinky 40' flat screen RADIO?

rough Start

After getting the TV set up and figuring out how to use it, we enjoyed 2 nights of watching high def tv, then the screen went dark. The company I was directed to for service could not come for a week. We decided to haul it ourselves to another authorized service center. We had to pick it up and then set it up again. It was a bit discouraging, hope it's not the beginning of a trend. It looks great....for today...

quite happy with tv so far

had this tv for about a month now. we don't have cable so it is mainly used for watching movies and playing video games. i am very happy with the colors and the picture is tight. movies and 360 games look great on it. i would buy this tv again, samsung almost always makes a quality product. also, product was delivered via pilot freight services. this was my first experience with them and i read mixed reviews. i had no problems with the delivery. the delivery truck arrived when they said it would and they called about a half hour before arrival to make sure i was home.

Matte Screen is Key

I also have a Samsung 58PN560 to compare to, so.....

The color is great out of the box, whereas i fiddled with the plasma a lot more.

The matte screen does a great job of limiting reflections in a sunny room with a big picture window. I don't know if they make many models any more with a matte screen, but I would highly recommend it.

Watched half of the superbowl on the TV and noticed no streaking or blurring of motion of any kind.

Only thing I can't seem to find on this TV is how to set the time - not sure if it is a feature or not. Don't really need the instructions to get up and running.

Sound is better than on last tv...36" Toshiba - picture tube and all...probably 175 lbs.

Plain awesome, excellent bang for your buck!!

This TV is just awesome and I love every aspect of it.

First of all, the exterior design is dark, sleek and really attractive, it mainly continues with the line of Samsung designs we've grown to love.

The TV isn't heavy at all so it's easy to move around and set up, be it the normal stand or the wall mount.

The image will blow your mind. It's just as awesome as it comes. The 60,000:1 aspect ratio gives a pretty nice black-to-white transference and the brightness is really good too. The colors are really vivid and really make the images stand out.

I have an xbox360 and a PS3 hooked up to it and the gaming experience is just mind blowing. The blu-rays on this thing are just breath-taking, the image is really sharp and clear and brightness and color depth will really amaze you.

Many people have critisized the built-in speakers, but I think the sound is really good and clear. I also have it hooked to a 5.1 home theater system, but the built-in sound is not bad at all.

The price is excellent IMO, I paid U$705.00 and it arrived in perfect conditions.

Overall I think this item is a great buy. An excellent TV for a very good price. Highly recommended.

I'm so happy with this tv!!!!!!

My wife and I are so pleased we purchased this tv. We're not the types who randomly search around and just pick the lowest priced item either. We did our research and even went and talked with local retail stores selling the same product. For the money this tv does just as good as higher priced/latest version flat screens that are out there. It's rediculous to pay hundreds more for the same size and no difference in picture quality (but with "latest version" stamped on the box). I would recommend this tv to anyone. We currently use it in our bedroom and it's fantastic!

Can't rate; item arrived severely damaged

I would have loved to had the oportunity to rate this item but the 37" Samsung TV arrived with the screen severely damaged from shipping. I refused delivery and called Amazon to report the problem and Amazon started case file to document the report and track the returned item. I was told that it would take about four weeks for the item to be retuned and a refund issued.

After three weeks, I called Amazon who called the shipping company. I was told that the returned item was still at the Albuquerque shipping warehouse after three weeks - the orignial destination was New York. Math question of the day: "If it takes three weeks for the returned TV to go 400 miles; how long will it take to ship the TV back to New York from Albuquerque?"

In all fairness, Amazon has been very responsive and the Amazon Representative, Amanda, was always pleasant,upbeat, and informative in handling my case. She also assured me that after four weeks a refund would be issued regardless of where the TV might be in the world.

Purchased this LCD to put into the bedroom of our motorhome and plan to purchase a 22" for the front of our motorhome. These LCD's save space and less weight. Excellent picture quality and like the features the remote control offers. Lastly, want to commend Amazon.com on the excellent service and response given to this buyer. Thank you so much.

WHy buy overpriced small "HDTV LCDs?"

Why would you spend almost $300 dollars for a sub-par, 19-inch 720p LCD, when you can find 22 inch LCD widescreens for ~ $150, that handle resolutions up to 1680x1050 and have built in HDMI. Don't spend money on these overpriced LCD screens just because they're labeled as an HDTV. Look for 22 inch LCDs and you'll spend a fraction of the money for a better product.

Simply Outstanding !!

Just received this unit yesterday...found it to be perfect in every respect.

Hooked up the cable, took the 'auto' install defaults, it completely installed itself, and was running in just a few minutes.

The base / tilt angle is adjustable and simple to do;

The factory setting for the speaker sound was sort of 'small' and 'tinny' sounding...so I went into the menu, found several other sound choices, and found that the choice for 'movies' gave a far better sound with enough 'bass' to eliminate the 'tinny' sound.

We have the same exact same Samsung (40") model in the den and this identical 19" model in the workshop is just perfect.

Poor Customer Service

These comments are directed towards Samsung only and not at Amazon. I received a TV which had a bad speaker. As instructed I called Samsung customer service. The long and short of the story is that during a 10 day exchange of phone calls, all Samsung did to resolve my problem was to send me out new "firmware" for my TV!! Twice!! Even when it didn't work the first time!! New firmware to fix a broken speaker!! Amazon worked with me immediately to replace the TV once they knew of the problem but I am very doubtful I will ever buy a Samsung product again due to their very poor customer service.

GREAT (when it is working)

The picture is absolutely fabulous - when it is working. I have had mine less than 6 months and had to replace the panel once already, and am waiting for repair guy to come AGAIN because the picture is now showing bright green pixelation in any area where contrast changes (much of the screen most times). When everything is working as it should it is the best picture i've seen on any flat screen tv, BUT... while I'm not a big fan of extended warranties, I would recommend one in this case. I bought mine from Sears and they have been good about honoring the warranty & coming for repairs, but don't expect this TV to be problem-free.

Update: after the 2nd panel went bad, the repair guy determined TV required complete replacement so we got the 2010 version of this same TV (I think the newer model number is LN40C650) and have ALREADY had to replace the panel on the 2nd TV. I would DEFINITELY NOT recommend Samsung. Have heard Sony's would have been the better choice.... next time.
