Summary: Excellent Television
Comment: I purchased the Samsung LN53A650 about 1 month ago. I absolutely love it so far. The picture is wonderful. I don't know what happened with the white glove delivery. The guys were nice enough to bring the TV inside for me, but they didn't unpack it. The sound on the TV isn't too great but the picture more than makes up for it. I bought a PS3 and watched 2 Blu-Ray movies on it. I couldn't be happier about this purchase.

Summary: Arguably the best picture out there!
Comment: I researched quite a few formats including LCD, DLP and plasma before deciding that the sharpness and lifelike image of LCD were most important for my personal viewing. It came down to the Sony 52XBR4 and the Samsung LN52A650. They are both excellent performers, but the 650 has the advantage in picture clarity and the "through the window" look. At first, I felt the Touch of Color was gimicky and was actually a deterrent. After seeing it set up in my home, that slight hint of cherry red makes the set look unique and classy. My friends have commented on how good this unit looks, just setting there!
Delivery was ahead of the estimated time and the service men did an excellent job of placement and of answering my questions. They were perfunct, but pleasant and thorough.
I highly recommend purchasing a Blu-ray player or PS3 and a few BD's to accompany the 650. Every picture looks good on this set, but the Blu-ray connected via HDMI creates an image that looks almost 3D.
The TV's settings are highly customizable using the remote. The control's wheel takes a bit of getting used to as it can be tricky at first to coordinate the press of the remote and the zipping by of the on-screen menu selections. All in all, this is a very minor complaint. Buy this set and you won't be disappointed.
A final note about Amazon. They have one of the best cusotmer service policies in the busines and they back up their word. When I purchased the LN52A650, Amazon's description including a comment that was easily miscontrued to imply you were getting an additional discount of $200. Actually, the offer was for $200 off some sports items. While Amazon, technically did nothing wrong, they later issued me a $100 gift certificate, an apology for any misunderstandings and still enabled me to use the original $200 sports offer if I wished. In a business environment where "customer service" is more of a mission statement than a reality, Amazon.com gives their customers ample reason to return.

Comment: I'm so glad I waited for this model to come out, it has a awesome picture that is so good I don't know where technology can do any better other than just adding whistles and bells. This new model (650,750) allows you to adjust the picture quality to 3 different levels, we watch the lowest other than a sporting event otherwise it looks like people are flat out coming out into our home theater in best mode and we don't need that.
The info link is cool but falls into whistle/bell category, it's not really that useful, for example, of the 3 topics you receive from INTERNET is weather, well all you get is the temperature of your zip code, not so fancy and blocks my beautiful screen I'm wanting to see more.
If your concerned about the "touch of red" looking OK or being obtrusive....when I do see it it's a soothing touch unlike under the bright lights of a electronics store, other than that it is hardly noticeable and looks more black than red to me.
I highly recommend this TV, and if you have been waiting for the best or better stuff to get here... well it's here in my opinion.
I bought mine for right at $2100 + instant $200 back on Amazon special of buying the Samsung newest blue ray player that was on sale for $279 (a $79 blue ray player!!! it don't get better). If that wasn't enough, I received 24 month 0% financing, and a $200 gift certificate from Samsung toward sports collectables.
If the package deal at Amazon isn't enough today... wait a day or so and they will throw you a bone you will like as I have found.

Summary: Great TV and excellent delivery service
Comment: For several years now my husband and I couldn't justify the cost of a large plasma or LCD TV, but after seeing the Sony 52 inch at Costco, we said wow they have come along way in price and looks. After lots of research, we deceided to purchase the Samsung LN52A650 52 inch LCD and are we glad we did. First the delivery only took 4 days from the day I ordered it and they unpacked it and set it up for me. The TV picture is so clear and colors so true, it's like looking out a window. We have alot of windows and doors in the room it the TV is in and we were afraid it would be like our old TV, where we couldn't see the picture until evening time. But we have not have any glare problems at all. The TV is a true dream and we can't believe we waited this long to purchase one. It did take some getting use to such a large screen as we had an old 36" TV before, but after a few hours, we adjusted and now couldn't go back. Amazon had a terrific price. The TV is easy to setup and adjust, but the remote did take a little getting use to as part of it is a wheel and is very sensititve. Highly recommend this LCD TV.
