Purchased the LN55650B to replace a Samsung 56 inch DLP, and it is a huge improvement.
My biggest concern in researching the television was how it well it would work in a very bright room. I have three picture windows in my living room, each of which is at least five by eight feet. I get a large amount of ambient light during the afternoon which made watching the DLP very difficult for several hours. No problem with this set. Yes, there is some reflection, but the picture is very good. I've watched movies, television programs, and sports with great satisfaction. Don't let reviews scare you that warn against reflection.
I was also pleasantly surprised with the quality of sound from the television. I have a home theater that I can use, but usually I don't bother switching over to it. For movies, yes, not for much of anything else.
This is the best television I've owned. I've owned at least a dozen...

Samsung LN55B650 Awesome TV & a great response from Amazon!
Amazon was amazing. I ordered the unit in the AM on Mon and it was shipped and installed on Tues by 5. Better response time than the local electronic store(s) delivery windows. The 100,000-1 contrast ratio really makes a difference and gives animated films a 3D like appearance. I had some conecerns about viewing SD cable channels on this larger screen. This Samsung does a good job with scaling and displaying standard def feeds. When running 1080P it is just plain beautiful. I didn't like the touch of color frame on earlier models but this one is more muted and is much better looking. This is one great TV being offering by an impressive vendor. I certainly plan to buy my next one here as well becuase the TV/DVD combo I ordered was the best price around and both arrived next day.

Samsung LN55B650 So worth it!
I ordered my TV when there was a promo for free blue ray player with a Samsung TV purchase. It was delivered within the early part of the following week. I am very pleased with the picture quality and other features of the TV. And with a free sony blue ray player, I really think I hit the jackpot with this Amazon deal. I will highly recommend this to anybody.

Samsung LN55B650 Great TV I have the similar LN55B640
I have just recently bought the LN55B640 which is the sister model to this one. It is a great TV. I had first had the 58 Plasma and exchanged it for this because the plasma made a slight humming noise esp during bright white scenes which I found annoying. This is a great switch. I find that the black tones are very good for an LCD picture quality is very similar to that of the new Samsung LED at a much cheaper price. Be aware you will need to adjust the settings most likely when you get this TV out of the box. I need to switch a lot of the settings including the Auto Motion Plus feature. It comes set on Standard which I found to be a bit superimposed looking and a bit bizarre for some shows and movies. For those of you who have the feeling the TV looks "Too real" of like it was shot with a great home video camera all it is is the Auto Motion Plus feature under Picture - Picture Options on the settings Menu, just set it to "Off" or "Clear" which I like for most shows. Hope this helps. Good luck and this was a great choice for me!! :)

Samsung LN55B650 Great 55 inch TV
The TV is absolutely beautiful. I did contemplate between the 240Hz ln52b750 and this model and am glad that I choose the ln55b650. The larger screen size is surely a plus.
HD channels are great to watch. The only drawback is that when you watch non HD channels the low video quality is also magnified, since the TV outputs all details of the picture.
I did see the opera affect on some channels but that got fixed once I switched off the 120Hz.
I would surely recommend this TV.

Samsung LN55B650 Great TV
We replaced our three year old Panasonic 50 inch plasma with this TV. It was just as big an improvement as we saw from our Mitsubishi HD projection to the Panasonic. The results are borderline 3-D on all HD channels. This is a great TV! Delivery and set up makes Amazon miles ahead of hauling it home from Best Buy. I saved shipping and sales tax.
