Amazing TV - Samsung ln52a650 review

By S. Delahoyde

Nothing short of incredible. The picture, particularly when you're watching a Blu-ray movie, is just jaw-dropping. And it even handles standard-def stuff off the cable box (even after the heavy compression with the DVR) really well. 'Touch of Color' thing is nice too -- very subtle, but sets it apart from other TVs and makes the set look a little more like a piece of furniture. Only gripe at all is with the remote, particularly when using the little round slide wheel. It could use a little more resistance, as it tends to fly by the option you're wanting a little too quickly. Luckily, it also operates as a push button device, so you can just as easily scroll up and down by clicking on the wheel.

We ordered (straight from Amazon) on a Wednesday and it said that it would be about two weeks before it shipped. Turned out, it was there by the following Monday, which made us very, very happy. Been loving the thing ever since.
