I have a plasma Samsung that I bought 2 years ago and the TV just flat out and died on me a couple of weeks ago. I looked on the consumers affair website and found out several other people were having the same exact problems. When I called Samsung, they basically told me too bad since I didn’t have warranty past 1 year. I have never heard of an expensive tv (or even a cheap one for that matter) just flat out and die (with several purple stripes on the screen) after ONLY 2 years! My advice: Stay away from Samsung TVs unless you can afford to replace your really expensive TV every 2 years.

This LCD Tv has a stunning good picture quality, but as soon as there is any fast motion, there is still a great deal of jutter or blurring of the image. I returned it for this reason.

We purchased the first LN55B650 on 7/3/2009 and it was delivered a few days later. It had a great picture but we noticed two thing right away, the TV was not level and that glare was bad. You can see every light source on the screen even a table lamp or indirect light from a window. I originally thought this was normal so I just thought we would have to deal with it.
The TV was preassembled with the pedestal and was set on our built in entertainment center. The set leaned drastically to the left and forward and continued to get worse so we called for service. By the time they were out in late July in was leaning an inch to the left and a half inch forward. The pedestal is actually installed on this set from the factory and there is no adjustment. The replacement set arrived on 8/4/2009 and it was level to start with but over just a 2 week period it was as bad as the first. After going through 2 of these with the exact same issue we decided to look for a different TV. We thought about the LED version but if Samsung can’t design a simple pedestal that works, what else have they missed? This is certainly a design flaw, the second set was over 1 1/4″ out of level from the top to bottom and an inch forward by the time our Sony was delivered yesterday.
Thank goodness for the 30 day return policy where the set was purchased. We upgraded to the Sony KDL-55V5100. What sold us on the Sony was when we were talking with the salesman about the glare on the Samsung and the he actually turned off several of the TVs for comparision. The glare on the other brands was terrible compared to the Sony even with the sets off. That along with Sony’s picture quality and reputation made the choice very easy. After getting it home yesterday we are glad the Samsung didn’t workout, the picture quality of the Sony is drastically better especially considering the glare we experienced with the Samsung. The Sony has no visible glare from the windows or lamps and that alone is a great improvement and the unit sets straight and level.
Not sure how the review on this and other Samsung products are so good, if you could experience both the Samsung and Sony in your home as we have now the choice would be easy. The base is also very substantial on the Sony and looks very nice in our entertainment center.
If you decide to go with the Samsung it will come with a couple of scews and a nylon string. The instructions say this is a safety measure to keep the TV from tipping over on a child. The real use of the string is to overcome the design flaw and hold the TV to keep it from tipping if you use the included pedestal, I would put it on immediately!
This model has a lot of cool features, if you can deal with a tilted screen or plan to mount it on the wall and don’t mind the glare issues this may be the set for you. I have pictures of this unit posted on some other reviews but do not see an option for pictures on Amazon. They are posted on Bestbuy if you want to take a look to see what I mean by TV leans.

I looked and looked for just the right LCD tv for the right price, didn’t care if it was sony, RCA, samsung, but when i watched my sisters samsung LN55B650 I fell in love, the picture was so clear and crisp, and what got me was it wasn’t a HD DVD or Blu-Ray it was just a plain ole DVD. So I started shopping, at first I was looking at no more the (…) bucks and around a 52″, I was just about ready to get the LN52B650 at sears for (…), and after taxes I was up to (…). I went on amazon looking for an old movie DVD when I notice a samsung LN55B650 for (…), to make a long story short I spent (…) on this bad boy and man I am going over my DVD movies again. This TV is great and it’s even better because of the price, Sears is pricing this puppy for (…).
