Wide Color Enhancer/Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamp

The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp backlights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors. Samsung’s exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors – the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky.

Connectivity

To make the Series 6 a true entertainment hub for any home, Samsung has incorporated advanced HD connectivity and networking capabilities that expand the HDTV’s functionality. A wide variety of multimedia devices can be connected to the set through any one of the four Simplay compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs (including one on the side), and the handy HDMICEC feature lets you control all your CEC-enabled peripherals using just one remote.

Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish components into the 2 rear connections and use the side-mounted input for cameras, camcorders, and laptops. HDMI is the best performing interface for displaying an HD source on an HDTV.

Once connected, users can easily access device menus and manage and display content through the newly redesigned Wheel Key Remote control and the HDTV’s sophisticated content management interface.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface version 1.3): 4 (3 rear/1 side)

Audio Features

TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 5.1 channels. High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the two hidden, downward-firing side-mounted 2.2-channel dome speakers built into the TV.

SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass.

TruSurround XT audio also adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.

Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

Stereo broadcast reception is offered for MTS and SAP with 181-channel capacity. A sound leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Quick comment about the Amazon stats for this TV January 9, 2009
David Anthony Payne
I just received my 650 yesterday (Jan. 8, 2009) and am thus far happy with it. I have one comment regarding the Amazon.com stats for the TV... if you look at the connectivity features under the "learn more" heading, you're likely to find that the TV supposedly has two RF antenna inputs (ostensibly one for a coaxial cable TV connection and another for over-the-air antenna). This is incorrect. The TV has one RF input. So, if you're planning to use a coaxial cable connection (not HDMI or component) AND an over-the-air antenna, you'll need to scrounge up or purchase an RF splitter switch (aka an A/B switch) for your cable TV and antenna. If you're going to pay for HD cable or satellite, I suppose you're probably going to use one of the HDMI or component inputs for the Set Top Box. If this is the case, then you won't need an A/B switch.

Great HDTV January 9, 2009
George S.
Have been using this HDTV for about two months and its performance has been outstanding. Over-the-air HD programming is great with this unit.

Free delivery arranged by Amazon was great. In less than a week after my order the delivery company called to set up a convenient four hour window for delivery. When the unit was delivered, the delivery personnel were very courteous, asked me first whether I wanted them to unpackage it, removed the unit from its box, set it where I wanted it, plugged it in and verified that it turned on.

Buy this TV - Don't look any further January 9, 2009
David Bernstein (Pittsburgh PA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I spent over 6 months researching LCD TV's. Went to every big box store and looked at every brand. I had a budget of $2500 for a 52" unit that I could hang in my den and I read ever published on line and print review. I have now had my Samsung LN52A650 in use for a little over a month and the only question I keep asking myself is why in the hell did I wait so long to pull the trigger on purchasing this unit. Every time I turn the unit on I am blown away. This unit is great and watching my beloved Steelers in 1080p / 120hz is Fantastic! I almost spent the extra 100+ for the 750 unit but the sound on the 650 is just fine. The price on this unit from Amazon, that included a no charge bluray player was unbeatable! $2011 delivered to my door with the white glove treatment. If you are serious about purchasing a new LCD Tv - BUY THIS ONE! I am getting ready to buy another Samsung 42" LCD for or bedroom later this month. I couldn't be happier with my decesion!

Excellent TV. January 9, 2009
Aldo Rene Martija (Heber, CA)
Agree with other reviews. Excellent TV quality and picture. I will highly recommend.
The only thing that I'll improve is reduce response times from the remote, from the time it takes to turn On/Off and from the time to change input sources, but I guess that's the standard for HD TVs.
