WOW, simply amazing - samsung ln52a650 review

By I. A. Goulet "StagattoVII"

Ok let me start by saying that i own the new 50 inch plasma that is only a month old. great picture yes? OH yes, sweet and awesome! No complaints there at all. As a matter of fact i gave the plasma a 5.

Now this LCD..Sweet goodness have mercy. A lot would like to say that plasma's are better and what not, and i remember Bestbuy reps telling me they won't get an lcd until they can produce the same amount of black level as a plasma. Enter the Samsung 6 series LCD with 120 hertz.

The black level actually surpass my plasma. Yes you heard me right, they SURPASS THEM. The picture for some reason also is able to do more realistic colors! Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? It get's better.

You may have seen the 120 hertz running on a sony at your local bestbuy or circuitcity, correct? Most either loved it or hated it. Now i was one who hated it because i thought it made movies look like Hallmark films. Again, enter the Samsung 6 series. I was going to turn it off as soon as it arrived, but i left it on so my wife could see. Then to my surprise, i notice that yes it has 120 hertz, but it doesn't have the Hallmark film affect. say what?! The 120 hertz on this t.v. is a tweaked version that makes your motion upscale to 120 frames per second without that nasty hallmark film look. Simply amazing. It really is a must see!

Overall i would give this t.v. a 6 out of 5 if i could. Don't waste any more time looking for a t.v. in HD. This is it. Don't get a plasma, get this one. I promise you will not regret it.

Note: i achieve getting the most realistic colors by modifying my settings. The default settings are not set to realistic colors. That goes for my plasma as well.
