Strengths: good quality, nice picture, good amount of HDMI ports
Weakness: audio quality isn't great, remote control is a bit different
This is quite a nice TV set, I've had good luck with Samsung products lately and this is no different. I can't say if the 120hz helps much, but it must be doing something as I don't see any smearing or other odd picture issues. There are a lot of picture-tweaking options in the menus to play with for hours. Audio quality isn't great and never seems to be on flat screen TVs unless you get a...
Strengths: Easy to set up and has an awesome picture quality
Weakness: The speakers are its weakest link. They face downward thus they are not loud
The most exciting thing is being able to change the quality of the picture or sound without having to go into a full blow menu. The touch ot color is the eye catcher.
Strengths: Excellent contrast, good brightness and deep black levels, minimal clouding
Weakness: Does not do as well in very brightly lit environments
Overall I am very satisfied with this TV. I'm not sure how different it is from the A550 series in terms of performance and I don't use the infoLink features but that doesn't stop this TV from being great. I immediately installed the newest firmware and had no problems with the TV turning on or off at all, as some had complained about before. I also had no clouding on my set. I'm not sure how big...
Strengths: Vibrant colors, Picture quality, nice sound
Weakness: remote is a little touchy
I bought my 3rd LCD Samsung and they are getting better and better. I have been going up in size and quality and this particular model is by far the best sound, best picture and best options that anyone could ask for. I just love it. Had a problem with it turning off but I downloaded the fix and installed it with Autolink and now I am thrilled with it. I don't know a lot about TV's but I do know...
Strengths: * Looks great: Burgundy bezel is fantastic! * Picture quality: Makes HD and analog channels look great! Lots of picture settings * 4 HDMI ports: Future proof * 4ms response time: Fastest in market
Weakness: Just one: The jog dial on the remote takes a little getting used to but once you do it's great and easy to use. So no real weaknesses. Love the set!
I bought my LN40A650 on Amazon for a low price of $1556.88 with free white glove delivery. Best deal available as of 5/11/2008. The default settings work for a great picture quality for both HD and analog channels. However I changed the energy saving from Off to Medium and adjusted the contrast, brightness, color and flesh tone settings a little to bring out a truly mind blowing picture, and this...
Strengths: Outstanding picture, super-smooth 120Hz, Excellent configuration.
Weakness: None so far.
As stated in the title, the BEST 40" out there to date for the money I've come across. I can't stress enough; if you can, get one. Period.
Strengths: + Unbelievable picture quality + Incredible image processing power + Plethora of calibration options
Weakness: - Quirky remote dial - Early sets may need firmware update - Attracts dust
The Samsung LN40A650A is an incredible TV and a marvel of modern technology. First and foremost the picture processing power of this television is astounding. This set includes a 50,000:1 contrast ratio as well as a blazing fast 4ms response time. Equally as important is Samsung's "Auto Motion Plus" 120hz technology which adds frames to images and eliminates motion blur in film and television....
Strengths: picture quality, tons of configuration options, general appearance
Weakness: remote, audio
APPEARANCE: The set itself is a nice looking piece of equipment. The Touch of Color feature you will either love or hate. While I’d prefer the standard black exterior for better matching with any décor, the burgundy accents aren’t too intrusive. The connection panel on the back is straightforward and well organized. The plastic stand is sturdy enough that a wall mount isn’t mandatory....
Strengths: Amazing picture, clear, touch of color highlights the LCD, easy menu operation
Weakness: none
I've been shopping around for a new LCD for quite some time, after reading many reviews and speaking with many electric departments and seeing the different LCD's (compared Sony, Samsung, and Toshiba) I decided on Samsung (with Sony you're paying for the name and Toshiba didn't compete with Sony and Samsung). I had originally decided that I would be purchasing either the 4069FX or the 4071FX, but...

Great Set
Strengths: Price, Picture Quality, Tons of connections
Weakness: Remote Control
Some sites mention these samsungs have poor audio quality, but I have not had a problem with them. The remote control on the other hand seems to lag on any button you want to press. The 120hz and 1080p makes watching TV and especially blurays extremely smooth (maybe too smooth?). For example, during a chase seen in Kiss of the Dragon, vehicles appear to glide, as if on ice, during accelerations...
