I love this TV!!!

This one does everything on the describtions. I just have one complaint. The execution of widgets are VERY VERY slow, but I do internet with my computer not with the widgets. Not a big deal. So far, I love it.

AWESOME TV!

Buddy had the 650A model. I waited for over a year and a half til TV prices dropped than the 650 b model cam out and I grabbed it up.
All I can say is AWESOME.

HD is Pristine & Standard is still very good.

I'm glad I waited for prices to drop and got this.

I don't use all the extra widgets and what not so can't comment on them.

Only minor thing that is just OK about this TV is that sound is a little tinny. But hey, who buys this kind of TV and doesnt have surround sound or buy a sound bar anymore.....

Highly Recommended!!!!!

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.

Excellent TV, Amazon the Best, DELIVERY THE WORST

Perfect TV, Good Price, Amazon Service is excellent.

The Delivery is not good at all. Because it is free it should not be bad. The freight company that delivers in the Miami FL area is the worst. This is the second time I tried buying the TV. The first one I ordered them to return it since they were going to deliver 3 days after the promised day (promised for 12/23 and wnated to deliver after Christmas). This time it was the same, even thought the freight company receives the item locally they say that they do not have drivers, and they hold the product in their facility two or three days!!!!
I was about to return it again, but I called Amazon and they realized that this was the second time, and they called the freight company and Magically they could deliver that same promised day.

AMAZON fire the transportation company in Miami FL!

Outstanding TV

I am very happy with my purchase of this TV. I am very careful when it comes to handing my money out. I just love the picture and the flexability of the TV. I watched the Super Bowl and thought the sharpness of the picture was outstanding.

I would like to see a better solution to wireless conection to my PC.

very nice picture

Got this Samsung LN55B650 to replace a large DLP, very pleased with upgraded picture quality of this LCD. Updated firmware easily, no problems to date. Amazon delivered on time as promised. As others have mentioned, you probably don't want to use the TV speakers though as they don't sound as good as my DLP so I picked up a soundbar system to remedy that.

WOW what a picture

I looked and looked for just the right LCD tv for the right price, didn't care if it was sony, RCA, samsung, but when i watched my sisters samsung LN55B650 I fell in love, the picture was so clear and crisp, and what got me was it wasn't a HD DVD or Blu-Ray it was just a plain ole DVD. So I started shopping, at first I was looking at no more the (...) bucks and around a 52", I was just about ready to get the LN52B650 at sears for (...), and after taxes I was up to (...). I went on amazon looking for an old movie DVD when I notice a samsung LN55B650 for (...), to make a long story short I spent (...) on this bad boy and man I am going over my DVD movies again.

Still Happy with Choice

I spent a ridiculous amount of time looking for the perfect TV. I finally settled on the Samsung LCD 55 inch. A month later and I am still happy with my choice. The two things I was worried about was glare and motion blur. Both of which is not an issue for this TV. I don't see how the picture could get any clearer. I paid $2,000 at Sears counting taxes and delivery. Don't overthink it and don't spend a lot of time getting hung up on the specs. In summary, this is a great TV and I have no issues after a month of use.

Fantastic TV

This tv is great. I took it out of box, put it on my tv stand, pluged everything in and it worked great. I have my digital cable dvr box and ps3 connected to it via HDMI. The HD channels look great and the watching Blue ray movies is amazing.I'm not a up on all the latest tech but I think this tv is one of the best I've seen. The picture quality is fantastic and it is very easy to set up.

Fantastic TV!

I love this TV. The picture is bright and sharp. The colors are vivid without looking artificial. The flesh tones are excellent. I researched extensively before purchasing this TV and believe I have made the best choice.
I have not yet connected it to a home theater sound system, but until I do the built in sound is quite nice.

Samsung is still #1

I work at Bestbuy so I asked everyone I knew there what is the best brand for a television. 100% agreed that Samsung is the A+ brand. TV's aren't cheap, so if I'm gonna spend all this money, I want the best and that's Samsung. The tv arrived with the stand already built, so that was nice. Then after attaching the tv to the stand I got set-up with adding my new blu-ray player and HD DVR with two HDMI cables. This is the best picture quality every!!! There is no way I could be happier, I love this TV!

Quality 2nd TV

I picked up this TV for my bedroom, so it is not my primary TV. I have only had it a month, but all is well. Very clear picture for HD channels and surprisingly good picture on the non-HD channels. I also like the feature that automatically spreads non-HD channels across the entire TV vs. having the black bars on the side. Definitely a good price for quality TV. Hopefully it will hold up for the long haul, but given that it is a Samsung, my guess is that it should hold up (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself).

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...

Good value TV, good for PC monitor

For what I paid, this is an excellent TV/PC monitor. I got this to be my gaming computer monitor and also a small HDTV for the office and so far it has not disappointed. I have played games such as Modern Warfare 2, Bioshock, Company of Heroes, Fallout 3, etc. There is almost no visible tearing. The picture for HD cable is very good. If I had to give a downside it would be that the monitor may be a little dark but I almost never think of this issue.

not that you need another review

After owning the unit for about 3 months i have found an answer to some of my initial annoyances.
I now have quite near zero gripes about the TV/monitor. It performs well and its leaps beyond my old sharp and sylvania tube units. Digital is amazing and nothing less would or should satisfy the modern consumer.

The headphone jack while not sounding great through cable TV sounds better through my HTPC's HDMI output. Better yet is a fine quality headphone setup such as porta pros. The speakers acheive a spot in your ears after time and is made up for by the digital optical toslink output.

Picture is good and the monitor setting are awesome. ONE IMPORTANT NOTE" WHEN HOOKING UP THROUGH HDMI FOR YOUR PC THE MONITOR DISPLAY SETTING THAT ARE SO HELPFUL ARE DISABLED.

Excellent Monitor / LCD TV

My wife prefers to watch TV in the room in our house where we have located our PC. Previously we used Media Center on the PC and often watched TV on our PC. The Samsung T240HD is an excellent device and now with the addition of a cable HD tuner connected, we could not have a better picture. A couple of criticisms from prepurchase reviews we read on Amazon were valid, but note my overall five star rating. The bezel around the LCD does produce a noticeable light reflection and the speakers are not the best I've ever heard. I have connected external speakers and the sound too now is more than satisfactory. I just utilized the external headphone connection on the side to connect my speakers, and did not have to bother with the infrared connection or purchase additional connection capability as mentioned in prior product ratings. Amazon has never failed to fully deliver on each and every one of my product purchases!

Nice enough TV, big delay as monitor

There are a lot of good things about this unit- good price with good feature set. I use this as a second monitor- it means that my "desktop" on Windows Vista is spread out over two monitors, giving me a lot of screen. I do most of my computer work on the other monitor so that if I want to I can switch this one to HD TV via my cable tuner.

That all works more or less, but a big problem is that when my two monitors are coming out of screen saver mode, the other monitor comes out almost immediately and this T240HD takes up to a minute. That's a really long time to wait. If it was my primary monitor or only monitor on my computer that would be a huge problem. I'm using the DVI connector and a digital connection to my video card. I don't know if the problem also exists in VGA mode as I haven't bothered to try that.

The screen also though very nice doesn't have as much viewing angle as my other monitor. Probably a good compromise to save on manufacturing cost- this unit is cheap for what it does. Still, when I buy my next monitor some day, I won't buy one of these due to that big fat delay.

Perfect

Its perfect what more can i say... but the SRS sound feature, not sure how that works, if i need a speaker system that uses it or not cuz it does not work on its own it says when i push the button on the remote "Not Available" so yah, check that out b4 u order one... but its 1080p and its an awesome tv... though when you go lower than it the top of it gets dark which sucks, as it does not support that feature which i cant remember what its called right now but overall its great

Samsung LED 46"

I absolutely love my new TV, and I love that Amazon was so easy to order from and the delivery was timely. The picture on this TV is incredible. I have it hooked up to a receiver and speakers, so I can't speak to the sound. Due to having it hooked up to a receiver, I have found that because my receiver is older and not a 1080 receiver, I'm not getting full 1080p reception. I plan to replace my receiver in the future to go with my Blue Ray player and new TV and I'm sure I'll be delighted.

This television has an amazing picture and does not heat up like a plasma screen. Viewing is excellent from all angles; sports are crystal clear with absolutely no motion blur. Be sure to visit some of the tech websites for a list of the most effective picture settings.

I've only had the TV for four months, but there have been no problems with it. It is currently wall-mounted and attached to a home theater system with a blu-ray player and a Wii. I'm thoroughly satisified with all aspects of its performance.

A Good TV.. With a Few Exceptions

I bought this TV about a week ago and have been fairly impressed. There is a lot to like about this TV, but there are also a few problems.

The Good:
The picture is great; very clear with both HDTV and BluRays. The black levels and contrast are very good. The sound isn't terrible (with some tweaking), but it isn't anything to write home about. The settings are very intuitive and easy to work with.

The Bad:
I've already mentioned the sound, but it bears repeating: the sounds levels are just okay. You will not be able to turn the bass up to what I would call an acceptable level without making the speaker housings vibrate which can be very annoying. This wasn't a deal killer for me as I paired it with a surround sound system, so I barely hear the TV speakers.

This TV is terrible for gaming. I should qualify this: This TV is terrible for playing music type games. There is considerable input lag using a Wii, even with the game mode turned on. I attempted to play Guitar Hero: World Tour after connecting the Wii to the TV using the new composite cables I had to buy (more on that in a minute), and found it to be unplayable. Because there is considerable lag, the strum does not register until just after the notes have passed, resulting in a missed note... many, many missed notes actually. This is not acceptable for me.

There are not enough inputs for gaming devices and there are only inputs for HD devices. While this may seem like a stupid complaint, remember that neither the Wii, nor the PS2 (outdated I know, but bare with me) have an HDMI output. I had to go buy HD Composite cables for both and a switch box because there is only 1 composite input on the TV. These cables aren't really cheap, so that was another $60 I had to shell out. Also, there are only 4 HDMI inputs total, so if you have multiple gaming systems, a BluRay player and a cable/satellite box, you may need to buy an HDMI switch to get everything to work.

The Ugly:
You will need to take quite a bit of time to calibrate this TV to make everything look the way it should. Here is a quick tip though: if you don't want everything you watch to have the quality of a commercial, turn off the 120Hz options (located in Picture Options > Auto Motion Plus 120Hz). Some people may like the ultra crisp effect that this adds to movies and programs, but I just feel it makes everything look very plastic and without depth.

All-in-all, this is a decent TV, that could will be great for some... but terrible for others. If nothing I listed will bother you, this is a great TV for the money and will not disappoint.
