HDTV Reviews – LCD & Plasma TV Review

A Top Rated LCD: Samsung LN55B650 LCD HDTV Samsung’s 55 inch B650 series LCD television is a high-quality LCD TV that offers top-of-the-line picture quality with excellent 1080p high definition resolution. Our reviewers were first impressed with the the flat panel’s video details and vivid color thanks to its 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and Samsung’s Wide Color Enhancer 3 technology that helps produce more natural rendering of colors. This HDTV also incorporates a number of innovative features to reduce the motion blur and image judder, which traditionally plague LCD HDTVs when displaying fast movement. This B650 series HDTV combines an ultra-fast 4ms (millisecond) response time with Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus frame interpolation technology, which utilizes a 120Hz refresh rate that ensures crisp, easy viewing of sports, video games and movies. This mix of video features makes the B650 series LCDs some of the best televisions available to consumers.

The Samsung LN55B650 also features the manufacturer’s new Internet@TV online content service. Developed with Yahoo!, Internet@TV uses either a wired or wireless Ethernet connection to access content onscreen from Yahoo!, Flickr, YouTube and more via the remote control. We liked the widget-based interface and scrollbar run along the bottom of the screen that made browsing for the latest programs and other content really easy. The LN55B650 provides owners with a 2 GB flash memory with pre-loaded entertainment features that can be updated by downloading content from Samsung’s web site via the Ethernet connection

Owners of the Samsung LN55B650 get superb connectivity and networking thanks to 2 USB ports–for playing MP3 audio and displaying JPEG/MPEG files–and four HDMI 1.3 ports, and it also provides ample sound thanks to dual 10-watt, two-way stereo speakers and an integrated subwoofer. This HDTV is accented by Samsung’s TOC (Touch of Color) bezel design, which offers a hint of red translucent color around the edges of the unit that completes the panel’s cutting edge design. Its a cutting edge look that our reviewers really liked. And as with all B650 series televisions, this LCD is Energy Star 3.0 compliant, which reduces energy consumer on this year’s model by some 25% over last year’s model.

Consumer reviews on this LCD have been amazing! If you are looking for a top of the line 55 inch flat panel television with the latest in technology theSamsung LN55B650 is an excellent choice. Retailing at $3,000, we’ve found it at Amazon for just under $2,000 (No typos, that’s a $1000 savings!) This is an excellent HDTV with the features that today’s consumers demand. With its wide array of features and a one year parts and labor warranty, you can be confident you are getting a great television.
