Summary: Great TV
Comment: The Samsung LN52A650 TV is the greatest. Clear pictures, GREAT action views and fantastic picture size.

Summary: 52" of HD goodness.....
Comment: This was my first Amazon purchase over $200, and I couldn't be more satisfied. I researched for several months like many others, to learn as much as I could about the current specs and to see all the different models in person. I haven't owned a new tv since the 19" back in high school a decade ago (roommates won out), so I wanted something that would handle movies/computing/gaming for some time to come. I also knew that my father, who was shopping for his first HDTV, would more than likely go with my decision as well.
We picked his up Christmas Eve from Best Buy, along with the 32" Whalen corner stand. Unpacking and setup was easy enough, you simply pull out the two plastic retainers and the box lifts off. Cable coax directly from the wall, or hdmi from the cable box both have a great picture, no issues with cable box compatibility with Time Warner.
I ordered mine from Amazon on Dec. 26, and Pilot delivered it in a pickup truck on Dec. 31st, just in time to watch the Huskers beat Clemson the next day. Pilot probably did a better job than if I would have bought it from a retailer, as the box wasn't bent or gouged anywhere. I also didn't see any dead pixels or any other flaws in either of the 650's we bought this Christmas. For a stand I chose the Whalen BBL44BP from Best Buy, since Amazon didn't carry it, which is a 44" wide base with chrome reclining legs and black tempered glass.
The picture is incredible, and the tv itself is well made and looks great. It's not facing any windows in my house, so the glare is a non-issue. It did take me a little while to realize there are no buttons on the tv, instead in the lower right hand corner there is a touch sensitive pad for power/volume/channels. It will leave fingerprints using them, but they work fine.
Hooking up to the xbox360 via the component cables will give 1080p output, contrary to some of the rumors that you absolutely have to have the xbox hdmi cable to get above 1080i. I have the optical audio from both the tv and the xbox running to a Yamaha receiver.
Connecting to the computer via a standard VGA cable works great, and is perfectly readable from 8ft back at 1360x768 (slightly wider resolution than a standard widescreen monitor, which I normally ran at 1280x768 or 1440x900).
The backlight and brightness settings were a little brighter than they needed to be across the board, so after some minor changes everything looks great. The built in speakers are small, and sound as generic as I expected. They work fine for normal low to mid volume purposes, but lack the bass and midrange for movies or games. Not a big deal to me, so I normally turn them off or all the way down to let the receiver do the work.
Other tv functions include the ability to connect directly to a LAN for software upgrades, InfoLink news and weather, which is kind of nice, but a little redundant as it's already hooked to a computer. Same with the Wiselink USB port, which lets you plug in any usb music or picture storage device and browse through pictures or play mp3's.
I also haven't spent much time with the Automotion settings, or had anything that would output at 120hz to justify that aspect of the 650 over the 550. It did seem to help the clarity during standard dvd playback, when the background and foreground were moving at different speeds. Otherwise, I assume it's something that will be taken advantage of more in the future, or with a bluray player to eliminate the 3:2 pulldown inherent in 24fps film.
I compared this tv with several Sony's, and the LG70, before deciding on Samsung. The 750 series' extra software, and the 850's slimmer profile weren't worth the extra money, in my opinion. Assuming that I don't run into any unforeseen repairs, this seems to be an outstanding tv that I look forward to keeping for quite a while.

Summary: TV is a 5; delivery is a 1
Comment: Excellent set, works beautifully and as expected. The two-man "white glove" delivery from Pilot was a one-man "dirty shoe" delivery, however. The lone delivery man showed up 15 minutes before the scheduled "noon to four" delivery and did not call ahead 30 minutes in advance, saying that he was "in the area anyway" as an excuse. Luckily, I was ready for him.
He smelled heavily of cigarette smoke and left dirty footprints on my carpet that I will have to clean, and I need to air out the house in winter to get rid of the smell. While I respect that he was willing to take the TV to our upstairs theater room on his own, I decided to help him carry it up so that the TV wouldn't be damaged on the way, or that he'd give up and I'd have a half-delivered TV on my stairs. Pilot really needs to send two people to fulfill the "Amazon room of choice two man delivery" as listed on the work order.
TV gets a 5; delivery gets a 1. Amazon needs a new freight company that takes customer service seriously and respects the cleanliness of customer homes.

Summary: A clear winner
Comment: The TV: unbelievable! Coupled with HD channels, it totally changed my TV viewing experience. I spent so much time watching it, so much so that one of my new year resolution is, guess what, to watch less TV.
Amazon: always delivers. Great buying experience.
Delivery: Pretty good.

Summary: Great Product
Comment: I realize "great" is used too often...however...after researching televisions for at least 8 months before making a purchase...the Samsung LN52A650 was the BEST choice for me! Outstanding picture, sound is fine...I've heard others complaining about it. The remote is exceptional...very user friendly. Made a good choice on a GREAT product. I'm very, very happy.
