Key Features | Samsung’s Series 6 marks the first appearance of TOC (Touch of Color) design in the 2008 LCD HDTV line-up. Inspired by designs from the automotive and fashion industries, Samsung’s unique unique Transparent and Opaque Color molding process creates a clean, smooth finish infused with a hint of a translucent color during the manufacturing process for an ultra-sleek appearance. |
 | Up-to-the-minute access to weather, news, sports and stock information is just a cable and a click away through the HDTV’s Ethernet port and new InfoLink RSS service. An all-new user interface with digital contents management guide provides intuitive navigation and access to both internal and external content. |
 | This technology doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 frames per second (120Hz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. Instead, the TV intelligently calculates the ‘middle’ image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 120Hz processor), making a fluid transition from one frame to the next. |  |
  | Samsung enhances the clarity of select LCD HDTVs by replacing the light-diffusing plastic face of traditional LCD HDTVs with a natural black panel with a clear anti-glare shield. Reduced reflection of external light creates a new dimension in image clarity, highlighting black and darkened areas, enabling vibrant, more compelling colors and a brighter, clearer picture. Black will never again appear grayish. Black details will show in vivid black even in dark scenes. The latest version of Samsung’s breakthrough super clear panel technology makes colors appear more vibrant and blacks even deeper than ever. Enhanced films reduce glare and optimize off-angle viewing. | |
 | 50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio will give you a picture better than you ever thought possible, with whiter whites, blacker blacks and a nearly infinite subtlety of gradations in between. As two of the most important determining factors in overall picture quality, contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this latest generation LCD panel. Samsung’s new LCD TV’s give the most stunning realistic picture quality ever. |
 | Full HD, or 1080p, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean more pixels, more details and a better picture. The new Samsung LCD TV with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional HDTVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable. Samsung’s 1080p panel uses a new high-speed liquid crystal to cut response time to 4ms. The fast response time, coupled with Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz motion blur reduction technology dramatically reduces motion blur and judder. |  |
 | DNIe™ The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine. This exclusive Samsung technology dramatically improves the picture by enhancing the contrast, detail, white balance and reduces. |  |
| 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. | |||

 | 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.

  | You already know something about digital living. There’s the TV and digital video recorder in your family room. (And another set in your bedroom.) You have a PC and digital printer in your office, along with a network attached storage device. And you’ve copied all your music onto your portable music player and haven’t had to open a CD case for years. But getting them to talk to each other can be pretty tough. Why is it still so difficult to send digital content from one device to another? Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a collaboration of the world’s leading consumer electronics, PC and mobile companies that has created design guidelines for a new generation of products that can work together — no matter the brand. Think for a moment about all of the photos 'locked away' on your home PC that you wish you could access while entertaining your friends and family. Now, thanks to DLNA enabled devices, a DLNA-enabled PC can be accessed from the comfort of your living room or family room via a DLNA-enabled HDTV, where you can enjoy your memories with friends and family, without having to deal with the hassle and non-intuitive 'PCexperience'. Or, say you recently downloaded your daughter’s birthday party video from your digital camcorder to your PC. Now you want to share it with your parents who are visiting. Without DLNA, you probably have to burn a DVD of the video or hook up the camcorder to the TV. With DLNA, you can just use your TV’s remote to call up the video on your TV. That’s it. |
 | Samsung’s Super Patterned Vertical Alignment (SPVA) panel provides a 178-degree viewing angle from all four axes |
 | 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.

Rating: - * Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color ... So far I am incredibly happy with the Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color. It looks great on the wall. Watching football on this set is absolutely awesome. Movies are better than a movie theater (if they are in HD). Rating: - * Very happy with my decision to buy from Amazon ... This TV is excellent and I love it. Much has been said about this TV already so I can't add much. I do not have any HDMI components yet and I wish it had more S-Video or RCA connections. Amazon service is the best! The TV was delivered before the promise date and delivery was very smooth. Delivery company called and scheduled the appointment and then I got a call from the driver around 30 minutes before delivery time. I will definitely buy again from Amazon. Rating:  - * So close! ... Great picture, nearly perfect...BUT..I bought it for installing in a tv lift in the master bedroom. I was able to compare it precisely with our Sony kdl 52xbr lcd. They were both simultaneously connected to the same Direct tv 1080p box, and the same dvd player via an hdmi connection. The picture was a live HD sports transmission..as close to a no compression source as you can get. Result? I set them both up to match as closely as possible, but the Sony picture is just fractionally cleaner/crisper than the Samsung. (I should tell you I have spent the better part of twenty years working on film to tape digital tv post production, and I know artefacts!) The Samsung is great- but you get what you pay for. The Sony isn't thirty percent better- even though it was thirty percent more costly- but if you want the very best- no expense spared- its still the Sony Rating: - * WONDERFUL TV, EXTREMELY POOR WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY!!!! ... I am extremely pleased with this television, the picture is beautiful and it is exactly what I've been looking for!! Unfortunately, my happiness with this product has been tainted by the extremely poor supposed "White Glove Delivery"! I read other reviews before I ordered the tv and some people seem to have had wonderful experiences; whereas, mine was quite the opposite and my son's was even worse!! My husband had to help the delivery man carry in the television (I don't know what he would have done if my husband wasn't able to help him), I asked about it and he said the person who usually works with him called in sick. Isn't it amazing that the same delivery person came to my son's home this morning by himself (again had to be helped bring the tv in the house) and then left--DID NOT EVEN OPEN THE BOX, PLUG IT IN OR EVEN TAKE AWAY THE BOX!!! How can Amazon advertise "White Glove Delivery" and list what it entails and then let situations like this occur. They were made aware of the problems, and the only answer given was to write a poor review. I would think that Amazon would be a little more concerned about misrepresenting facts on their site--what they describe as White Glove Delivery certainly were misleading for my son and myself. I am very disappointed in the delivery service and I believe it is Amazon's responsibility to do something about it, or they should not advertise something that is not happening!!! Rating: - * GREAT PRODUCT ... This samsung was delivered on stated delivery time with the white glove service as promised. I can highly recomend direct purchases from AMAZON JOHN IN SW.FL.Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of ColorPS.THIS HD. TV. HAS SUPER PICTURES W/DIRECTV HD.EQUIPT |
While many novice gamers will enjoy the high-flying, mad-dunking action of the arcade mode, the heart of this game is a serious basketball simulation. With excellent controls, impressive artificial intelligence, and easy play-calling for cuts to the basket, this game should sit well with purists who prefer their mix of coaching and playing in equal doses. A deep create-a-player mode is also available for nurturing an NBA star-in-the-making and powering up his abilities as he performs well over a season. The moves of Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant were motion-captured for the movement of the players in this game, so expect fluid athletic motion. --Jeff Young
