 Great May 30, 2009
I love this tv everything looks fantastic. I watch blu-rays via PS3 and the pitcher is amazing. I also watch netflix instant via the computer and you can't even tell it looks like it a DVD. The remote has a type of click wheel, its hard to use and i don't care for it. I have the tv hooked up to the internet so with a push of a button you get news and weather.

Open Box at BestBuy for $999 and a little plastic cleaner tip to remove tape residue. May 09, 2009
First off let me say that I have not hooked up my Bluray or any HD (HDMI) fed source to this tv yet. I have only seen it in the store on broadcast HD. The picture was fantastic in the store. I have had my share of LCDs too so I can speak with some authority on PQ. I currently own a Panny 42" plasma, Samsung 32" LCD. I bought this tv to game in my office to replace the 32" that I gave my son. I had intended on buying a Samsung 32" (1080P, 120MHZ) but when I got to the store I ran across the 40" 650a as a display model. There were actually 2 of them but I did not know it at the time. One was priced @ $1107 (mine) and the other $999. I had noticed an older couple contemplating the one I was looking at so since I was not in the market for the 40" I thought I would let them make their decision and come to look @ it after they left. Assmuming of course they did not buy it. Well after about an hour of walking around the store looking at other LCDs I noticed they were gone or so I thought. I went back to look @ the 650a in full confidence that I would not be intruding on someone else's thought buying process. As walked back through the section where it was displayed I thought well they must have deciced against it. I walked around to the other side of the aisle just to take a look at the other display models and I noticed another 650a on the oppiste side directly behind the one I was looking @. I then realized that it was marked down to $999. As I picked up the label to inspect, well, the specs, to make sure it was the same model, the older couple popped up out of nowhere and scared the crap out of me. They told me that they were going to buy the one @ $999 and I thought well that was alot of work to avoid their buying process only to invade their buying process. Now mind you both of these 650as had visible tape residue on the back and front but i was not shakin (I well get to that in a minute). I told them up front that I had seen them looking at the other 650a on the oppiste side and I told them that I was going to wait till they had made up their mind before I came back and stood in front of it for 2 hours to make up my mind. They then told that the sales guy was going to give them the same price on either of the 650a @ $999. Well now we were kindred spirits because I was going to buy the one they didn't buy. So we both proceeded to take the labels off the display so no one else would get any ideas about these models on display and we promptly got the Bestbuy guys on the job. Now from my perspective I had gone into the store to pay $1100 on the 32" version with 120MHZ so I though this is no brainer. Well this brings me back to the condition of the unit. It had tape residue all over it (not the screen) but the outer edges on the front and back. My thoughts were, it is the PQ that I am buying and not the cosmetics and I was fully confident that I could handle the cosmetic hurdle. Well this morning (the morning after) I proceeded to gather my cleaning tools that I thought would best do the job.
1. Mineral Oil
2. Screen Cleaner
3. Mystery Cleaner
Well I pulled up my office chair to this red beauty in the rough and dabbed a few drops of mineral oil on a fiber cloth and began to wipe the tape residue off the top and back of the unit. This seems to work ok but it was not efficient and it was greasy. After I got most of the residue off I cleaned the plastic with the screen cleaner to try and remove any of the residual oil. Once again it seemed to work ok but it was going to take longer than expected. I had a lot of tape to remove. Why they do this I do not know.
Here is where the mystery cleaner comes into play.
I own a Jeep Rubicon and Jeep owners have long had a need for something to clean the plastic windows on the soft top.
I had ready to go to see if the result were more efficient.
I thought well I will give it a shot on the next patch of tape.
As i started to wipe over the next batch of tape residue I noticed that it was coming right off with very little effort and applying a nice shine in the process almost like I was waxing the back of the 650a.
I was so happy to come to the realization that this was going to be alot easier than I thought. I continued to clean the rest of the 650a with the mystery cleaner till it looked close to brand new.
After I was done I thought this product is awesome.
I have also used it to clean my wife's laptop lid and a Dell Mini 9. As well as the remote that came with this display model.
This mystery product is called:
Plexus (www.plexusplasticcleaner.com)
DO NOT USE THIS ON THE SCREEN!!!!!
Only use it on the frame.
So thanks to a very nice couple who saved me an extra $100 and Plexus plastic cleaner I believe I came out pretty good paying $999 for a floor model that looks very close to being new and I get an additional 8 inches of screen for $100 less than the 32".
I am very happy.
 Poor Value. Terrible Picture for the Money May 07, 2009
The overall picture this set offers is very good - when ignoring the problem data traffic lines at the top of the screen - as good as most other models. However, when you pay considerably more for a set that is supposed to be much better quality, you would assume you would get a picture that you could concentrate on. The fact is that this set displays an annoying continuous set of "screen data" (moving small white lines that TV's use to configure the picture) across the top of the entire picture. These are on every television but on most televisions, 99.9% of the time they are off-screen and you never see them. Samsung said that's just the way the set works and that if you don't like it, adjust the picture size. That works only until you turn the set off. Then you need to adjust it each time you turn it back on. For a set that costs over $1200, you'd expect it to work properly. I'd stay away from Samsung. They admit they are making a defective product but yet continue to sell it. I've researched a considerable amount of HDTV's since discovering this problem and most sets provide a much better picture for hundreds less. Don't be taken in by the hype of this set unless you can live with changing white lines across the top of your screen all the time. Personally, I'd highly recommend looking at a Sony. I wished I would be right now!!!

Problems with LN40A650 Apr 27, 2009
Bought the TV on January 11th. Spent $1240.64. Worked well up until April 15th without any problems. After that the TV started to act up. All the problems were totally random... At first the picture would start to distort and then get better. Then once and a while the TV would go green on me. At the same time that was happenning the TV started flashing on and off in no apparent pattern?? Now the TV doesn't even turn on correctly, more of the on and off fashing.. Extremely annoying and very depressing. Dropping money on something that fails just plain sucks. I'll update after after I talk with Samsung and let you know how that goes.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
