Samsung LN46A650 Review: 46″ LCD HDTV
Up for review: Samsung LN46A650 LCD TV. The new Samsung LN46A650 is a joy to watch even when the television is not turned on. The Samsung Series 6 LCD has the exclusive Touch of Color technology to bring a red color hue onto the standard black bezel. Style as well as functionality, the new LN46A650 is a perfect combination of both. Priced around $2,099.99, this new LCD had many high-end features to back up the price.
Apart from Full 1080p native resolution, the Samsung LN46A650 incorporates Samsung’s innovative DNIe digital engine technology to ensure sharper, lifelike image quality regardless of the input signals. Plug in a standard DVD player, and the image quality will look excellent in this new LCD model. Its ultra clear panel gives a theater-like viewing impression. With 10,000:1 contrast ratio and Auto motion plus 120 Hz refresh rate, now fast action movies can be enjoyed without any motion blur. The 4 ms response time further takes care if smooth transitions between frames so that image output can be available at its best.
There is wide color enhancer feature including 600cd/m brightness aspect to adjust the color contrast according to the room light condition. And the gigantic 46” screen of this new LCD offers a truly enjoyable experience. What’s more, the new Samsung LN46A650 is EPA Energy Star compliant, which means it consumes less power.

User Reviews
Thinking of buying a Samsung HDTV? Don’t do it – unless you want a very large, expensive paper weight and like being tortured by “customer support” personnel. I purchased a Samsung 46” LCD HDTV and after two and a half years, it suffered a catastrophic “panel” failure, rendering the TV useless. The assessment of the repair shop to which Samsung directed me was that the cost of repair would exceed replacement its cost. Being beyond the Samsung one-year warranty period, the Samsung authorized repair shop could do nothing but suggest I contact Samsung for assistance in replacing the set given its young age and enormity of the repair. So I got in touch with Samsung’s “Executive Customer Relations” department (an oxymoron for a group of morons), who gave me the runaround for a month, promising call backs that were never (and I mean not once) made. I have finally given up, and by posting my story, hope to save you from a similar fate. Seriously – stay away from Samsung HDTVs. They are crap. And their customer support is worthless.
