Samsung LN46B650 Reviews

I purchased this item last week 3-27-09 without the luxury of any reviews posted.. Just the picture I saw at B.B… I also purchased the Blue Ray player… The picture on this TV is Awesome… Better than I expected. Get the Blue Ray… I watched a movie on it the other night… Never knew what I was missing! This TV has all the bells & whistles as the 46A850 model with the upgrade to 100,000 : 1 contrast ratio. Sound is great. Picture is great… Easy to set up… Delivery from Amazon better than expected. Had people over to watch the final 4 NCAA last night… One gentleman kept walking up to the TV & asking his wife why his new SONY didn’t look even close to this… Swivel stand is also Key to me… Red touch of color is not noticeable unless you look very close… Then you appreciate it! Hope this helps… Happy shopping

The box for the LN46B650 comes is not too much larger than the TV dimensions itself. Sometimes you’ll see a 32″ TV come in a box that could easily fit one much larger. I wouldn’t exactly call it environmentally friendly, but the box easily fit through doorways and into the elevator of my apartment building. The box is fitted with Styrofoam at the corners to keep the TV in its place and inflated plastic bags filling in all the empty space. There is the typical screen protective plastic in place and I found that the TV came in excellent condition with no noticeable shipping damage. I did not use Amazon.com’s shipping company, the handling of other shippers may vary.

In the box is the stand (which comes with assembly instructions, though mine was already assembled), remote, 2 x AA batteries, a USB flash drive containing multimedia content and the TV instruction manual, a cover for the bottom of the TV in case you wish to mount it on a wall, a cleaning cover,screws for securing the stand to the TV, a power cord and a software CD for connecting the TV to a Windows Vista or XP computer via ethernet connections.

Moving the box by myself was a bit difficult as it is still quite larger, once I got it out of the box though, the TV is very light for a 23 year old male and getting it on the stand was very easy. Once on the stand it snaps in place, you can (optionally) insert screws to keep it locked into the stand.

Inserting the power cord and connecting my components to the TV was easy, but the cable management system for the TV is pretty much non existent — cables pretty much dangle behind the TV.

Samsung LN46B650 Reviews Samsung LN46B650 and Samsung LN46A650

It should be noted that I have not purchased this TV. I did spend several hours comparing the two versions at Best Buy and this is what I found:
The B650 has a MUCH clearer picture. And by “clearer”, I mean more defined with a sharper contrast, brighter whites and darker darks.

I attribute this to the doubling of the contrast ratio. The A650 has a 50,000:1 whereas the B650 has 100,000:1. For those that do not know about contrast, the contrast ratio measures how many stages there are between the darkest dark to the whitest white a crystal can do. The problem is that the manufacturers do NOT use the same standard for what “dark” really is. Additionally, their darkest dark is measured when the tv is OFF – not very helpful since you’re not seeing how dark the crystal can actually get. The B650 looked like a HD set while the A650 looked like a regular flatscreen.

I had the salesman put both tvs with the same settings to compare the two realistically. I also looked for the motion and “ghosting” that occurs when action is moving. For this test, I looked closely at a soccer game being displayed on the two tvs. Again the B650 did not show quite as much “trailing” that the A650 did. Although both sets were 120hz, the B650 out shown the A650 hands down. The response time (how long the crystal takes to go from white, to dark, back to white again) for both of these sets is 4ms; but the B650 seemed to have a much more fluid motion – much like if you were watching real life.

I am going to hold out some more to see if the price of these go down, but I am definitely going to purchase the B650 instead of the A650. Honestly, the best way is to go to Best Buy and see for yourself. Don’t be afraid to ask the sales people to adjust the color and contrast for you.

Hope this helps someone decide which version you go with.

It should be noted that not all TVs, although the same model are not created equal. If you can, get two TVs and keep the best out of the two.
