Strengths: Fantastic picture. Easy intuitive set-up. No manuals required.Stylish look that blends in well.

Weaknesses: Have had set for 4 weeks and none noted

Summary: I did lots of on-line research and box store viewing to decide on this TV. Since review comments were so helpful in my decision I decided to offer mine. This TV has a picture so clear and bright it appears to have a 3D look. Don't worry about the speakers. Has great sound. The red bezel is truly only a "touch" and gives it a classy look that blends into any decor. I was nervous buying a monster like this TV online. I bought smaller items from BuyDig before so took the chance. It arrived within 4 days in perfect order and I would not hesitate to order online if that is a concern to you

Strengths: Great Picture!!!

Weaknesses: NONE

Summary: I did lots of research before deciding to buy a new flat screen TV. I went back and forth between buying it in the store, LCD or Plasma etc. You cannot go wrong with Buy Dig or with this TV. I couldn't be happier. The picture is the best I've seen from this top rated TV. The Blue Ray picture and HD look like I'm looking out a window at the action, rather than looking at a TV...amazing! Even on standard non HD TV this picture looks really good. The sound is ok, but not as bad as some of the reviews I've seen.

Strengths: watching HD football

Weaknesses: a lil bit of glare

Summary: when watching movies with 120Hz on it seems a little fake because it is so clear it feels like you can see the set... I sometimes turn the 120Hz on low when watching a DVD.

Strengths: Great HD smooth brilliant picture and sound

Weaknesses: None Found

Summary: We love this tv. I looks great and fits nicely on our wall. It was easy to mount. It really has a sharp image and isn't choppy. It has lots of cool features and settings you can change. We bought ours at Buy Dig. The remote looks nice and is easy to use.

Strengths: Picture Quality and many inputs. What else is there?

Weaknesses: It wasn't free (but still a good value)

Summary: Went to the local A/V store (the small expensive kind) to see one and it shined even when compared to some very pricey HDTVs on either side. However the price was pretty steep so I ordered mine from Vanns (they always ship quick) and picked up the extended warranty from extend4less (only $219 for 4 more years). Just watched Rambo (first blood) in blu-ray and somehow this TV overcame the old film quality to look absolutely stunning. Maybe it's the blu-ray too but it didn't look this good on my last set. You should buy one of these and see your HD programming and blu-rays on yet another level of quality.

Strengths: Fantastic picture, beautiful design, HD stations are incredible!!

Weaknesses: The remote sucks.

Summary: This TV is by far the best value for it's capabilities. I compared the Sony 52"LCD TV's to this one and there was no comparison. The quick refresh time of 4ms is the best in the marketplace. Samsung is doing what they do best, making great TV's.......

Strengths: Great picture, adjustability

Weaknesses: one color available right now

Summary: This is a great lcd tv. I did a lot of research before buying something this expensive, and it came down to this and the Sony XBR4. I honestly think the picture on the Samsung is better when sitting side-by-side with the Sony....Plus it's cheaper! I was also debating on size...46 or 52... While the 46 would have sufficed, I'm glad I went with the 52 incase I move into a bigger house or something. If you're on the fence, get off of it and get this tv; you won't regret it.

Strengths: Light, slim, extremely programable, well made and amazing picture quality

Weaknesses: Not cheap

Summary: I've owned this LCD for about 2 weeks now and I must say it's some amazing kit. I'm not "cheap" per se just frugal but I must admit that this is about the best purchase I've made in years. Wonderfully versatile with a great picture and with 4 "stretch" modes you're sure to find something that'll make your movie look great. But with confidence, Samsung is great gear.

Strengths: high contrast ratio; 120 hz; plenty of inputs!

Weaknesses: glossy screen

Summary: I've owned this TV for about a week now and absolutely love it! I've been contemplating for months if I should get this TV or the new Sony w4100 but I jumped the gun and purchased this set with no regrets. There are too many good things to say about this TV but my only con would be its glossy screen. Depending on the lighting of your room this may not be an issue but it was for me. Other than that, this TV is probably the best out there right now.

Strengths: Picture quality and brightness; fast-action motion; plug-and-play set up; inputs; low weight

Weaknesses: Too many menu options; sound quality; slow menu navigation; remote control

Summary: First foray into big screen/HD. Not a videophile but picture is great, particularly brightness and contrast ratio. Motion, for example, sports, still pixelates but better than anything else on the market. 120 Hz improves motion (split screen demo mode is neat) but not sure worth extra money. Yes, screen is reflective material but picture brightness makes it irrelevant. Plug and play and convenient inputs makes it easy to set up, but the array of picture menu options is confusing. Who needs all that

Strengths: Great picture! 4 HDMI inputs!

Weaknesses: Remote wheel sucks!

Summary: Truely this Tv has great picture and it upscling of SD content is not bad at all! Lots of inputs and it is not too shiny screen. The only thing I don't like is the remote specifically the wheel since I frequently turn it by mistake. i think it is not a very good design. Otherwise the TV is really good!

Strengths: Picture 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio 4ms response time 4 HDMI 1.3 ports Side-mounted USB 2.0 port infolink

Weaknesses: TV has none - Remote's wheel control

Summary: Had this TV for a little over a week and can not find a flaw. No blurring noted with the 4ms. DVD's and movies look like your watching real-life. The 650 has a picture with great depth and color from any angle. Much talk has been about the TOC bezel. I think Samsung has hit on a nice effect with the TOC. It adds just a touch of red and sets this tv apart from all others. Most of the time you don't even notice it. I think this is best the LCD on the market

Strengths: Picture quality both HD and non HD. Built in speakers are great. TOC is beautiful.

Weaknesses: None

Summary: I got mine on May 5th. Delivery was excellent. Lots of features and easy to setup and start using right away. I had the cable company install an HD DVR and then also check the signal strength on the cable. Signal was low, so the cable guy put in an amplifier. Analog shows look very good. HD is amazing on this TV. If you register your warranty On line then Samsung gives you an extra 3 months of warranty. If you buy with VISA you might also get an extra free year of warranty from VISA. I think Mastercard does the same. I'm currently using video cables and the picture is perfect. The remote is made for the hand and easy to use.
