The Samsung LN40B650 delights the senses not only with the quality of its video and audio components but with the sheer number of features it provides. These aren't features for features' sake but elements that you can easily appreciate with your eyes and ears.
Auto Motion Plus 120 Hz technology renders the smoothest most lifelike action you can see on a TV. The 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio means you'll see detail in both the brightest and darkest parts of an image.
With four HDMI inputs you can hook up your DVD, Blu-ray disc player, cable or satellite HD box and still have one HDMI input left over. USB 2.0 Movie allows you to play MP3 audio, MPEG movies and display JPEG photos through a thumb drive (not included) plugged into one of the set's two USB ports.
The Medi@2.0 feature provides a wealth of information: You can receive content from Yahoo!, Flickr and more via on-screen TV widgets. With DLNA you can sync your connectable home electronics and display remote content on your TV. You can enjoy hours of built-in entertainment features, then personalize it by adding content that's available online with the Pre-loaded Content Library.
The red Touch of Color accent at the bottom of the piano black frame adds a stylish note that complements any room.
If quality, features and style are important to you the LN40B650 should be on your short list.

Comments about Samsung LN40B650 40" 1080p LCD TV:
This is a fabulous TV. I waited a long long time before upgrading to a flat panel HDTV and did tons of homework. Samsung clearly has the best TVs out there. The LNB650 has a crystal clear image. You'll want to fiddle around with the settings to get the brightness, contrast etc just right for your room, but that's easy to do. Audio is passable. If you care a lot about the sound quality you'll probably want to invest $200 or more in a sound bar, but that's par for the course for these TVs. Remote control is perfectly adequate. When you watch HD channels with an hdmi connection the result is astounding. I was considering paying a lot more for one of the new LED TVs, but I saw one of those at a friend's house and honestly the difference in clarity was not enough to justify paying twice as much. If you look at the two TVs side by side you'd obviously notice a difference, but when I sit at home watching this TV I cannot imagine the image being any sharper.

Comments about Samsung LN40B650 40" 1080p LCD TV:
While I have only had this set for a short time I can see the picture is fantastic. I would much prefer the set had actual buttons to turn on and off volume etc rather than the 'touch' controls near the bottom also no S video jack puzzled me as that was how I got the old cable box hooked in I guess they assume all users are updated with HD cable service. People who get this unit will not be disappointing I am very pleased.

We bought this a few weeks ago, [...] We couldn't be happier. Great picture - color - definition - sound etc. This tv was recommended by a friend that installs audio visual etc. for a living. He certainly knew what he was talking about.

Comments about Samsung LN40B650 40" 1080p LCD TV:
This tv is so easy to use but still has so many options. Samsung made it very intuitive. The resolution is amazing and so clear. My only complaint is that I should have gotten the 46" instead of the 40"
