Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I purchased this TV from Amazon.com I had already decided on this Samsung 52" series and was trying to decide between the 650 and the 750. At the time there was a small price difference between the two on Amazon.com. I ended up choosing the 650 because I was placing the TV inside a nook that had limited space.
The 650 has a less bulky frame around the LCD screen and therefore it was only 50.2 inches wide as compared to the 750 which is 52" wide. Both screens have the exact same visual display area. Beyond trying to accommodate my limited space, I felt that the smaller frame looked nicer on the TV than the larger frame.
The other reason I chose the 650 is that it can swivel on the base, whereas the 750 is fixed on its base. Because I have placed the TV in a nook, this swivel feature has come in very handy as I have had to get behind it from time to time to plug in cords, etc.
I have read a lot about screen reflection and was bracing myself for a potentially unpleasant experience during daytime viewing, especially since the room the TV is in has windows all the way across two walls and is full of sunlight daily. I'm happy to report that screen reflection is absolutely no problem. The TV that I was replacing with the Samsung LCD was an older 32" Panasonic Panablack analog TV with the glass screen, which had a lot of reflection. As a point of reference, the Samsung has about 20% of the screen reflection of my old TV (judging from when the TV is off). When the TV is on, the Samsung has about 5% of screen reflection compared with what I used to have with my old TV, which may be due to the incredible brightness of the display.
I spent a number of months on this decision and I feel like I hit a home run with this purchase. Samsung has certainly exceeded my expectations with this model and I have been very satisfied with my first experience of buying a TV online from Amazon.com.
DEC 20, 2008 UPDATE: I've now owned the TV for more than 6 months. No regrets. The TV has survived well in a family with 5 kids under age 10. It's taken some direct hits to the screen with toys thrown by a 2-year-old but any marks on the screen easily rubbed off. It still looks just like the day I first got it and runs perfectly. I'm very happy with this purchase.
JUNE 7, 2009 UPDATE: Still going strong after 1 year. Absolutely no problems with the TV. Best purchase I ever made. Everyone who has seen it can hardly believe the picture quality. I get positive comments all the time.

Samsung UN46B6000 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this TV and ended up returning it a week later. The physical TV is gorgeous, but unfortunately it has issues with the screen that I couldn't live with.
During normal viewing (in the store, in a lit room during the day), the picture quality is awesome - it has inky blacks and vibrant colors. The problem has to do with its "screen uniformity", something I didn't even know was a "feature" to consider when I was researching TVs.
This TV has an "edge-lit LED screen", which means the LED lights are along the edges of the screen shining inwards toward the center. Unfortunately, this makes for very uneven lighting across the screen. It's not noticeable during the day, but at night in a dark room watching a dark scene, there were a number of faint glowing streaks coming from the edges of the screen. It was very apparent in the letterboxing (the black bands over and below a widescreen image), in which there were feint cones of light coming from the corners of the screen.
I researched the issue (I searched for the TV's model number and the words "screen uniformity") and it turns out this is an issue all the LEDs have. The review sites offer the technical explanations for it.
I'm by no means a A/V snob, but the problem was almost instantly noticed by me and everyone I had look at the TV.
I returned the TV and instead purchased the Samsung LN46B650 Samsung LN46B650 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color. It costs almost $600 less, has just as gorgeous of a picture (I don't notice the contrast ratio difference), and has none of the screen uniformity issues.
I'll say that again - the NON-LED 46'' Samsung TV has a BETTER quality picture and costs hundreds of dollars less. Unless you are using this TV in a lit room during the day and you value only the aesthetics of such a thin TV, go with the regular LCD. You won't be disappointed.

Sony Bravia XBR KDL-46XBR6 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this TV a little bit over a month ago and have put in about 100 hours of viewing I would guesstimate. After that time I would say the TV has an incredible picture. Some people said the color variation was a little off but I haven't seen this. I did setup the custom picture setting by using the THX video optimizer included with newer pixar movies and star wars films. This made a big difference in overall picture quality and was very easy to do. The brightness of this display is impressive even when first turned on. The CCFL backlight seems to come to full brightness very quickly and evenly distributes the brightness extremely well. Color representation appears to be dead on with all types of media (cable, blu-ray, dvd, ps3, xbox). The motion plus feature is great when watching sports but can cause some juddering effects while watching non-sport content. The response time for video games is also a plus with no visible judders but this is with game mode turned on. The tv really does have the deepest blacks I have ever seen on a LCD panel, especially one that is not LED backlight. I have options turned on to increase blacks and increase the degree of difference between light and dark areas of the screen. Blu-rays look absolutely stunning and upconverted DVDs look pretty good. I use an external audio system so I can't really comment on the sound of the TV but I would imagine it's on par with other TVs. All in all it is an awesome TV with a very solid build and great looks. The TV has a lot of inputs which is a plus and the TV guide is great (if you would use it). The only other thing I would like is to see the TV with a glossy display to see if the color pops even more. I would definitely recommend this TV but would also recommend taking some time to setup the picture settings and experimenting a bit to see what looks best for the type of content your viewing.

Samsung UN55B7000 55-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a committed DLP fan before undergoing a conversion experience on Friday April 17th. I had planned to replace my Samsung DLP with a Mitbushi DLP or LaserVue. In the final hours, I just couldn't go through with it.
A major Los Angeles vendor set up a display with the UN55B7000 sandwiched between a LaserVue and a Kuro 151. The results were pretty plain to my eyes. The Luxia pretty well crushed both of them. The cult of Kuro will denounce me for heresy and blaspheme, but this is what I saw. About 1 hour of fiddling with the settings on LaserVue did not change the situation much. The Kuro was locked in at calibrated settings which the employees would not allow me to change. Evidently, it was fully tuned up. Once again, this left me with the impression that a fully calibrated Kuro is an over-rated beast indeed. No wonder Pioneer quit the market.
The bottom line: I bought this unit the next day. It took about 2 hours to tune up after I took it out of the box. [Use the natural color setting. Customize motion smoothing to 7 for jitter control and 7 for blur control, or shut it off entirely] Since then it has been pretty astounding. Unbelievable color. Unbelievable reds. Unbelievable contrast ratios. Unbelievable black levels. Very bright. Generates no perceivable heat. Does not get hot. The detail and sharpness and depth of image is truly astounding. I have never seen anything that can compare, and I have been shopping for several months now.
Cons
I am still questioning the merit of the 120Hz motion smoothing technology. It does weird things to slow motion instant replays. It does stranger things to 24fps movies. Seems to work best with live actions sports and HDTV programs shot on digital. You can always turn it off. Blu-rays seem more natural with the technology switched off. Ultimately, Blu-Ray looks magnificent either way.
Advice
A word of advice for the first reviewer and everybody else. You should never, never, never use the speakers on your HDTV. All HDTVs are equipped with pathetic 10 watt reference speakers that stink. All HDTV owners should invest in some sort of home theater surround sound system. It doesn't have to be that expensive. Even a $300 Home Theater in a Box will make a world of difference.

Samsung LN40A630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked up this TV from Circuit City just before Labor Day. It is basically the same spec-wise as the 650 series. The only differences are 1 less HDMI port (3 instead of 4), a contrast ration of 40,000:1 rather than 50,000:1 and no infolink. For those who don't know, Infolink allows you to hook up the internet to the back of your tv via an ethernet jack. You are then able to pull up news, weather, and stock info from USA Today. This is all it lets you do though. Infolink does not allow you to download firmware, view web pages or anything like that. This is a great TV. 120Hz is amazing. It almost make it seem like the characters are right there in the room with you when you are watching blu-ray movies. The quality picture is great, the menu system looks nice and is easy to use, and for those who like lots of control over picture settings, to get their picture just right, this tv has a ton of different adjustable setting options, allowing you to adjust the backlight level, the black level, 120Hz processing level, gamma, white space, color space, color, contrast, brighness, sharpness, defeatable edge enhancement, and more

Sony Bravia EX700 Series 46-Inch LED HDTV, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this TV for a couple of days and it exceeded all my expectations. I have been in the market for a new TV since November of 2009. I have done a ton of research and I believe that for the money this is one of the best TVs in the market. I looked at the Samsung LEDs and while they are good TVs, I find the glossy screens are distracting with all the reflections it creates. This can definitely be troublesome if your house has big windows next to the TV like mine does.
At the end, the Sony KDL-46EX700 was the perfect TV. Some of the great features include: ambient light sensor (the backlight changes depending on the amount of light source in the room), internet capabilities (Sony has a ton of widgets), exceeds energy star ratings, presence sensor (turns TV off when it does not sense a person in the room), motion flow control and finally a attractive modern clean design.
As for picture quality the TV shines on all level. I have U-Verse cable and the picture looks great in HD and SD. The picture quality on DVD is great, as well as, the Netflix streaming. Blu ray quality is out of this world.
As for sound quality, I am uncertain as my TV is connected to a home theater system. I really have nothing bad to say about this TV. The only knock that I have on this TV if any, is that the remote looks cheap. It does work, however, so I really can't complain. Plus I plan on replacing it with a universal remote.
In the end, If you are in the market for a new LED TV I highly recommend this TV.

Samsung LN46A530 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The LCD panel on this TV is the same as the one on A550 model. Several people have confirmed with Samsung. The difference in contrast ratio versus A550 is a typo apparently.
What I like about this tv:
-great picture quality (search avs forum for professionally calibrated settings for this TV. It made a significant difference in picture quality
- good sound for everyday tv watching
-good quality ATSC/QAM tuner ( I pulled in channels that I didn't I had)
comparison vs A550:
+ better sound because of side mounted speakers
+ cheaper (though amzn had A550 for less than A530 at one point last month :)
- does not have wiselink (view photos/mp3s from usn thumb drive)
I dont care about viewing photos/mp3s too much so I went with the A530.
Update:
TV died on Jan 9 2009 (less than 5 months). The red power light keeps blinking and there is a flickering sound every few minutes. Amazon.com would not help after >30 days, so I called Samsung. They took down the info and sent it to a local repair shop (Precision TV in SF bay area). They still have not called me about it after 3 days .
Now I wish I had purchased it at a local B&M shop with an extended warranty. I would have got a loaner at least. Now I am stuck with bad customer service. Pretty disappointed with Samsung quality.

LG 37LG60 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Gloss Piano Black with Scarlet Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned the 37LG60 for about 6 weeks now and I am very impressed.
Setup: Out of the box, everything went fairly well and the packaging was good. The directions for attaching the stand are a bit lacking in that there are two different sizes of screws provided and it is up to the user to figure out which ones fit in which holes. The menus for A/V setup are clear and concise for basic set up and there are a plethora of advanced options for those that want to dive in.
Video: The picture is excellent. At the time I'm writing this, there is only one 37" consumer LCD HDTV that supports both 1080p resolutions and 120hz refresh rates. Visually any HD content played on the set is stunning, and even standard definition looks fine for almost everything. Much better than some less expensive sets that I looked at. There are almost never any visible jagged lines on SD content. The color and contrast were a bit off out of the box but that is normal with HD sets and 2 minutes of adjusting fixed it. I didn't even have time to run a calibration DVD or Blu-Ray yet and I'm already very happy. Just a note for those that are planning on purchasing a 1080p TV; at 37", in order to take full advantage of 1080p (be able to see the difference between 720 and 1080) you need to be sitting about 4 feet from the TV. With smaller sets, the difference is less noticeable. If you are looking to save money, getting a 720p TV would not be a bad idea. That being said, I love the way the 37LG60 looks and would recommend it on picture quality alone.
Inputs: The good news is there are tons of inputs. 4 HDMI, 2 Composite, a VGA for use as a computer monitor and more. The bad news is that I use a Panasonic Blu-Ray player and a TiVo HD with the system, both plugged into HDMI ports and most of the time when pausing or fast forwarding/rewinding content from either player, I get a high pitched clicking/static type of noise coming from the speakers. It is very faint, but I can still hear it. Since this is my first HDTV, I wasn't sure if that was a common problem, but after asking around, found nobody else that had ever heard of such a thing. I contacted LG online support and was told, "I am sorry, I have found out that can sometimes happen with digital but unfortunately there are not any adjustments that can be made for that issue." I'm going to try the Composite inputs to see if the problem exists there as well. It is not loud enough to make me return the set, but this is the issue that keeps me from rating a full 5 Stars.
Sound: The only other place where this TV is lacking is the built in speakers, which work fine for day to day use, but if you want to fully enjoy a movie experience, you will want to buy a sound system to replace the onboard speakers.
Visual appeal: The set itself is sturdy and attractive. The "scarlet" back is beautiful and the edges can be seen from almost any angle. The gloss black front and mirror finish base give it a classy look. I prefer matte finishes on TV's, which eliminate glare from other light sources, but this is easily overlooked, as the set is gorgeous.
Support: LG's online support was prompt and friendly but not entirely helpful in dealing with the clicking/static noise I am experiencing.
Overall, I'm giving the set 4 stars and keeping it in my house. I will edit my review once I've had a chance to try Composite cables.

LG 52LG70 52-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this tv to replace my Samsung Plasma (PN50A550) which I also reviewed.
Having 4 other Samsung TVs I was reluctant to try another brand. Especially a brand that did not start with an S (Samsung, Sony, Sharp).
So things to know before diving into my review.
"Stated" contrast ratios are as is. Meaning stated. there is no standard! Keep that in mind when you read specs. LG's 15,000:1 IS better than Samsungs 1,000,000:1. Yes you read that right.
With no standards established for contrast ratios the only way to determine this is to see it in person. Sorry but it is what it is. Thats why you can say that a Sony's Image is better than a comparable spec'd Sceptre's. Its all in the image itself NOT the specs.
I am a Samsung fanboy, even with the failure of my last Samsung TV. So this is as fair and impartial as it will get on a Non-Samsung product - feel free to read my other reviews.
The Review:
I went to a local Video Only and compared the Samsung LN52A650, LN52A630, Panasonic th-50pz800u. I really didn't bother looking at the LG until I realized it was wedged between the other aformetioned tvs. By far it had the sharpest images of all and its contracst ratio was better than that of all the Samsungs. The reds were richer and the blacks were blacker. Comparing to the higher end Panasonic Plasma the blacks weren't as black as the plasma (well I'm comparing an LCD to plasma) but it was pretty darn close and the image was still much sharper on the LG.
So I inquired and found the LG to be hundreds of dollars less than the Samsungs and the Panasonic. Yes Hundreds less. In fact I was able to score my 52LG70 for $1500. But even at $1800 as Amazon has -its definitely worth it. Compare this price to other 52" LCD's with 120hz processors - none come close.
Positives:
Sharp Image -By far the sharpest image of Samsung, Sony, and Panasonic. (see pics)
4 HDMI inputs -yeah it may be overkill now, but in the future you may need some etra HDMI ports (PS3, Xbox360, what else?)
Contrast ratio -Definitely comparable to Plasmas. Thats saying something as LCD's have never really competed with Plasma Blacks. This one comes close to the best (Pioneer and Panasonic) with respect to black levels. (see pics)
Anti-glare screen -Finally a true anti-glare screen. This bad boy has a matte screen. Meaning you could have your blinds open on a bright sunny day and stil enjoy the picture. (see pics)
Picture settings -7 fully customizeable settings allow for the most astute image expert/calibrator.
120Hz (with tru-motion) -This can take a bit of time to get used to, but once you adjust to it you really love it.
Sound -Even if you don't plan on using the units invisible speakers. You should know they were tuned by Mark Levinson (the guy who does the premium Lexus sound systems). By far way better than Samsungs.
52" -I compare this to the 50" plasmas due to the price range. The extra 2 inches definitely makes a HUGE difference.
Negatives:
120hz (with tru-motion on) -Yeah I said it was a positive, but some people never get used to it so I wanted to voice that. You can turn it off if you don't like it. They also allow you to demo it meaning you can see half the screen with it on and the other half off.
Remote- Not intuitive and somewhat difficult to navigate. Put it this way. The wife needs my help to change settings. So if you want an intuitive remote get a Universal one such as the Logitech Harmony 880.
Inputs and controls -The inputs and controls are in the back of the unit so you have to reach around if you want to change channels or volume without the remote. They do claim a set on the side - which is partially correct.
Lack of PIP -All my other Samsungs had it. So its hard to believe LG skimped on that feature. not a biggie as I never used it, but its nice to have.
Artifacts -Occasionally on non-hd material I see artifacts, which I never saw on my plasmas. What can I say I'm still in love with plasma but the few times I see artifacts I am able to let it go. This does happen occasionally in LCD's. (Don't Panic)
Bottom Line - Awesome TV which had me cheat on Samsung in no time.
This Samsung fanboy is definitely seeing the Light. Life is Good! =)
Really a 4.5 star review but there is no 4.5 stars and I would be remiss to call this a 4 star.
I'd take this tv over a Samsung LN52A650 any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

VIZIO E470VA 47-inch Class LCD HDTV 120 Hz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this TV about a month now and am generally pleased with its performance VS price. I purchased this TV to replace a 44" 720P Rear Projection that was in my living room. This TV easily out performs that old TV. This TV is really very good when viewing HD sources. I matched a Visio Blu Ray player to use with this TV and there is amazing clarity. But, there is a noticable drop off when viewing non-HD sources like standard TV channels. Seriously, I don't think there are many 1080p sets that offer great standard definition viewing performance. Also, please note that there is an illuminated VISIO faceplate on the face of the TV that stays lit all the time. Now, using the TV in my living room this is not a problem for me, but if I had the TV in my bedroom it would drive me insane as it would probably illuminate half the bedroom! So far the only way I know to turn that light off is to unplug the tv from the power source. Please note that the remote for the VISIO TV was smaller than the remote for the VISIO Blu Ray player-that just seemed a bit odd to me. I also have difficulty menu-editing as when you are done editing they tell you to hit a button with a symbol on it that does not appear on the remote! Note sound output is pretty good-better than my 40" Sony Bravia, but I also am using a 5.1 HDMI theater sound system with it so I can pump it up even to higher levels when needed. On one BD I even had to turn the sharpness down bacause the main actor had 5 o'clock shadow that was so clear it was making me dizzy.
