Samsung LN52A630 Great TV

For a long while I couldn't decide between the A630 or the A650. I finally went with the A630 because I tend to notice the glare on really glossy screens.

I'm the one with the customer image of the crazy "monitor" setup... I've had this TV for about a month, use it quite a bit every day. Every day I'm changing between source inputs... I use this Samsung for TV (not much), some movie watching (DVDs), a lot of xbox 360 and quite a bit as the secondary monitor on a dual computer monitor setup.

I'm quite happy with this purchase. The clarity is awesome, and the glossiness of the screen is just right for me ~ it's not totally "matte", I'd call it semi-gloss. The contrast is excellent, colors vibrant, and I would highly recommend this TV for any of the purposes I currently use it for (TV, movies, video games, computer monitor).

As for the "touch of color"... I'm actually not sure what that means for my set... I don't see any red or any other color for that matter.

The 120Hz is... interesting. I think it really helps TV and movies. I can't quite explain it... it's almost like it's so fluid that it just looks abnormal, I don't know. Some people say they don't like it, or it makes the video footage look like poorer quality... but I actually like it and use it except for fast paced video games (when every millisecond of video processing delay counts). You can adjust how much of the 120Hz processing you want, including turning it off.

I bought straight from Amazon and the delivery was extremely quick and painless. Overall I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

It's been almost 11 months and I just wanted to say - I'm still very happy with this television. It's great for High Defintion TV, movies, Netflix over Xbox360, and video games. I'm quite relieved that my first expensive TV turned out to be so nice!
