Samsung LN52A850 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color Reviews
Also, the deliver process was fast, smooth, and FREE. The Samsung is much cooler (as in creates less heat) than the Sony. The Sony was way too hot (even when the brightness and backlighting were set to low levels). I know some people complain about the internal speakers on the Samsung but I cannot speak to that issue as we never use the TV speakers anyway. We could not be happier with the Samsung.
Four months ago, we bought the Sony KDL52WL140 from Sams club. The Samsung is thinner than the Sony and also has a USB port for playing videos and such from thumb drives, etc. The Samsung has more dynamic color than the Sony and the color stays true from wider viewing angles. What a difference. Gotta give this puppy 5 stars.
Three weeks ago we replaced it with the Samsung LN52A850. (but, give Sams club a "thumbs up" because they took the Sony back for a full refund - no problems at all).
I feel this was a most excellent choice for both quality and price. Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color The price was excellent, the delivery was exactly as promised (gently carried from truck to home, set up where I wanted, wires connected, box taken away if requested) and the unit has performed just as good as when I saw it in the electronics store near my home, just that with no shipping and tax I saved close to $900.00. Vivid colors, no motion blur and the swivel feature on the base comes in handy too.
I've since contacted both Amazon and Samsung to try to resolve this problem and Samsung is going to send a tech out to take a look at the set to see if they can fix the issue first. In the day-time, this issue is less noticeable. It seems like this issue is more of a problem on the 650/750 series from what I researched and this is the reason why I opted to spend more money for the 850 but it's disappointing to have to go through the hassle of either getting this fixed or trying to return the tv, all within a narrow time period. The TV was fine for a couple of days but then yesterday night, I started noticing patches of light on various parts of the display that looked like 'clouds'. It was very noticeable in low-light situations which unfortunately I am in most of the time when watching tv. Check CNET-Samsung forums for other users that have the clouding issue.
I was really happy with the service from Amazon. This product (Samsung LN52A850 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color) has performed well.
I recommend this TV without the slightest hesitation. The 60 is very good, but the 120 takes it to the next level. I had a 61" rear projection that had a good picture, but It wasn't anywhere near as good as this. I'm seeing absolutely no artifacts in the picture at all.
High definition is nothing short of spectacular. All these different input ports are accessible using the remote. Clicking the center of the click wheel brings up a menu of the many features on this TV.I won;t bother listing them here, there's a great list on the site. The higher refresh rate gives near Blue Ray quality to scenes where there is distant details in the background. Even in a large room with a lot of light. When scenes involve people in a room for instance it's like looking in on them through a window every detail is bright, vivid, and crisp.
The remote has all the usual features, but it also includes a click wheel that I have found to work well. The picture quality shows little or no change no matter how far to the side you get. This set can be set to deliver a 60 hrtz or 120 hrtz refresh. These details become visible with the higher refresh rate. The screen is only 2 inches thick, and the whole set doesn't weigh very much at all.
You do see some glare on the screen mostly during the day. The picture quality is incredible. I have the set sitting on a sturdy but narrow table and because most of the weight of the set is in the base the TV sits nicely and isn't tippy at all. I've laid on the floor directly below the set and the picture is great, and even when I stand right next to it and look down on it the picture is still great. Once the list comes up you can scroll and click through the many features to use them or turn them off. The base is very stable.
I record some old black & White shows and they have never looked so good. The viewing angles are where I see a big difference from what I'm used to. I checked this set out at show room with many LCD's and plasma's on display and this set had what I say is the best picture by far. This set is amazing. There are plenty of inputs, including 4 hdmi ports.
And that is with stand definition. The screen can be pivoted thought an that helps a lot.
