I picked up this TV from Circuit City just before Labor Day. It is basically the same spec-wise as the 650 series. The only differences are 1 less HDMI port (3 instead of 4), a contrast ration of 40,000:1 rather than 50,000:1 and no infolink. For those who don't know, Infolink allows you to hook up the internet to the back of your tv via an ethernet jack. You are then able to pull up news, weather, and stock info from USA Today. This is all it lets you do though. Infolink does not allow you to download firmware, view web pages or anything like that. This is a great TV. 120Hz is amazing. It almost make it seem like the characters are right there in the room with you when you are watching blu-ray movies. The quality picture is great, the menu system looks nice and is easy to use, and for those who like lots of control over picture settings, to get their picture just right, this tv has a ton of different adjustable setting options, allowing you to adjust the backlight level, the black level, 120Hz processing level, gamma, white space, color space, color, contrast, brighness, sharpness, defeatable edge enhancement, and more

Amazing Quality

Reviewer: nuts about music,

Wow. This is a beautiful set - image quality is stellar - off-air and dvd source, 480, 720, 1080 all great. D-TV signals are amazing. Even stronger analog (i.e. old style NTSC) off-air signals look great. Audio clear and accurate. I've had it about a week and first impressions are really strong. Matte finish really helps if placement is near windows. This is a technological marvel. Menu's are clear, features are great, beautiful looking - I have to say touch of color is realllllly subtle, you can pretty much ignore this - it is classy without needing any extra gimmicks like this. Fast action/sports look great. Lots of tweaks to get a picture you will be happy with.

It is reasonably light weight, has swivel stand, viewing angle is excellent. It is like a jewel! Extremely well engineered. As of today, I think this set is at a price performance sweet spot. Samsung seems to really understands LCD video. If you are average person trying to find a good panel, you should be very happy with this one.

Great Quality HDTV - Complete satisfaction!

I originally bought the LN40A550 but after a few weeks I realized I wanted something a little better. I then went with the LN40A630 and I could not be happier. The quality of this tv is top notch. Standard television looks wonderful on it and High Def...well...it takes my breath away. I especially like the AMP feature that helps to eliminate the blur in fast scenes.

If you're worried about the touch of color don't even worry...they have all but eliminated the color. I think though it was pretty a lot of people didn't like how pronounced it was. If you're unsure about rather you should buy it or not...I say go for it. Its a quality set and the image it gives off is top notch. I also play Xbox 360 and games look wonderful (only one suggestion...in certain games its best to turn the AMP feature off to help eliminate any lag in controls).

Sound has never been HDTV's stronger quality but I have to say that the sound of this set compared to the 550 is much better. You might still want to get external speakers to help when watching tv and movies.

I hope I don't take this for granted

I couldn't wait any longer to buy an HDTV and after looking around for the "right" tv after a month I settled on this one as it was on sale at bestbuy for $1399 (cdn). My goal was to find a TV that could keep up with the industry standard for the next few years (5 at least). It has the 120hz, the 40,000:1 contrast ratio, 1080p, 3 hdmi's, etc etc. This TV also has a lightning quick response time compared to other lcds at this price.

I am extremely happy with this TV. Anyone who has seen a movie on it is shocked as to how clear and realistic the picture is. Actually, my brother said the TV ruins movies because they are presented entirely different with this TV. The TV is so good that it pinpoints the flaws in the CGI of the lord of the rings movies when I play the dvd on my xbox.

At the time I am writing this review, this TV has the specs worthy of a $2000 LCD in its class. In fact, the Samsung 650 is almost $400 more and the specs are almost entirely the same (the screen is made from a different material). Samsung is also the industry leader in LCD technology. I highly recommend this TV, and I agree with the earlier reviewer that it is set at an optimal price/performance position. For what you get and what you pay, this TV can not be beat at this time.

A Gamer's Dream

I've been an avid gamer since I was 8 years old. I've been wanting a new HDTV for about a year now, but I wanted to make sure to get one that could handle all my consoles, as well a kick-butt movie machine. This TV has blown me away.

Both my 360 and PS3 are hooked up via HDMI and the picture is drop-dead GORGEOUS. Games can really take full advantage of the optimal picture quality, plus the 120hz motion plus makes them run like butter. One thing I notice in particular is the HUD on all my games, which is clear as day. On my previous HDTV (an LG tube) it was very difficult to read any kind of corner maps, see how much ammo I had left, or even tell how much life I had left. Now that I have this television, there is no way I can go back.

This TV has wowed us ever since we brought it home, and it continues to surprise us. If you're on the fence about this particular television, let me assure you that there is nothing to worry about. You will be amazed!
