Good service, great product. October 9, 2008
I have had my A650 for a couple of weeks now and am very satisfied with it. Paired with Dish TV HD service it delivers a vibrant picture. Although the set is in a room with lots of windows, I have the screen angled away from them and have not had any problems with glare.
My purchase from Amazon was easy and the price was lower than any local big box retailers. There was a minor hiccup with the delivery (a couple of hours late) but I suspect this could be a problem with any delivery.
The TV mounted easily to the stand I had purchased elsewhere. It is a 2-person job to mount it, though. Since the set ships with the base attached I mounted it first then removed the base. This process worked fine.
The picture looked fine to me right out of the box. I found some tweaks on the Web at various sites; but frankly I can't see the difference when they are applied. It is easy to adjust the picture from the menu, and just as easy to restore the default settings.
The sound is adequate but uninspiring compared to the picture. I paired it to a Sony home theater sound system and now the sound is the equal of the image.
I had reservations about purchasing a TV on-line, but ultimately I decided it probably wasn't any different from buying it in a brick & mortar store. I was going to have to have it delivered in any case. If there turned out to be a problem with the item they would have to come pick it up as well. I'm glad I followed my instinct, and Amazon has once again proven to be my retailer of choice.
I would recommend Amazon and the Samsung A650 to anyone considering purchasing a large plasma display.
Nice way to shop October 3, 2008
Made my search, find best price and shipping, one key purchasing, shipper brought it to the room I wanted. Samsung has a great picture. Overall am pleased with Almazon, the dealer, the shipper and the TV that is why I thought five stars was earned.
Awesome Picture. September 19, 2008

I teach film and wanted something that would enhance my viewing experience without overwhelming my medium sized, 14 wide by 20 living area. This TV is perfect and the sound, unlike some of the smaller Samsungs, is very good. While not the theatrical surround sound experience, the down facing speakers work well and produce realistic tones whether you are listening to voice or music. They also allow for a clean appearance which is further enhanced by the touch of red screen. If you are not the techie type and cringe at hooking up one more wire or don't want to lay out another $500 on sound, you should be quite happy with this set just the way it is.
My couch is about 12 feet from the screen, while the arm chairs go as close as 6. I find this distance just about perfect for watching the 50 inch screen. I've even had a few friends comment that they almost felt dizzy watching large, fast moving, objects on the screen. If you are wondering how big to go, I personally don't think paying $$$ for an inch or two more will make a difference unless you have a very large room and want to bump up to 60 or 65". The kids should be adequately wowed by their video games on this one. I also like the set of video connectors on the side of the TV which allow you to connect cameras and other devices without having to get to the back of the set.
My TV arrived fully assembled in the box. No struggling to get the base on. Amazon offered free white glove delivery and the gentleman placed the TV on my stand without so much as leaving a finger print on the frame or screen. Since the TV is quite heavy this was good to have. He also told me about adding a "line filter" to remove sine waves from the AC as he said some clients encountered small squiggly lines on their screen. Luckily the power center I bought already had digital filters on all the lines.
I should add that CEVA was the company that delivered the TV and sent a very polite and knowledgable man to do it. He even disposed of the box and all of the packing for me. I'd never heard of the company before but I was able to communicate with them about the details of delivery by speaking directly to a rep at their local New Orleans area warehouse. Hurricane Gustav was in the Gulf at that time so a timely delivery was important to me. I would recommend this company to others.
I've had the set for two months and use it with a new Sony s350 Blu-ray player. The only problem I've had so far is not wanting to leave home!! Great product.
Great TV for the Money! September 17, 2008

I considered not getting a plasma since the great room we have has plenty of ambient light; however, it has not been a distracting prolem for us and the TV is bright enough to compensate. Samsung did a good job with the new filter bright technology. If we were watching a dark movie during the day, it would probably be a more noticeable issue, but not a deal breaker for us. One thing to consider is that our TV does not have a window directly opposite from it, but rather the windows are to the side. I got the TV because I did not want any issue at all while watching sports and I am completely satisfied. I have not had any problems with getting the picture adjusted and used the suggested settings on the Buyer's Plasma Guide website. Don't be intimidated to buy from Amazon, they are a fantastic online retailer.

I just purchased this television and I have to say I am really impressed. The frame of the tv is very attractive. The picture quality is amazing. The delivery of this item by Eagle/CEVA was on-time and handled perfectly. I highly recommend this tv.
