Best TV on the Market Today - samsung ln52a650

By G. Aven (CA, USA)
I am an IT guy who researches for months before I make a purchase like this. This TV is everything that it is advertized to be. The picture is the best on the market today. I watched it side by side with the Sony XBr4 and several other leading brands. The touch of red is very stylish but not over bearing. I have a blu-ray playstation 3, and HD FIOS and the TV picture is perfect. I also have an amplified external antenna and the HD picture over the air is awesome as well. What else is there to say.

The only complaint I have over my old Sony HD is that the sound component in does not work unless there is also a video source. In other words I can not just plug my ipod or sound from my computer without also having a video signal. Oh well I guess I will have to also buy a 7:1 home theater system. I was using an old amp and speakers.

(1 Month update) - Connected my HP dv6000 laptop with internal HDMI HD card and the resolution is fantastic. Connected new Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ5 with 16:9 pictures at 7.5 M and 4:3 at 9.1M also fantastic picture. My iPod now plays music if also showing a slide show so I have not upgraded my sound system yet. The SRS surround sound option is also great. The Playstation web browser is extremely clear (1080p), better than my HP laptop which does have a lower resolution (720p).

I have seen some comments about "jitters" for the NBA playoffs, this is probably someone who did not set their auto motion setting correctly, or does not have HD. My FIOS HD for the playoffs is unbelievable (no "jitters" or "flashes" as one reviewer noted) it is so good. My delivery was also flawless, early, efficient, and clean, with pleasant people.
