 Amazing picture quality!! Thrilled with my purchase! May 3, 2009

I was hesitant to buy an LCD TV because so often they seem to have such poor contrast, have lot's of visual artifacts and look horrible with fast moving scenes. However, Plasma technology is all but dead and there are no 37" Plasmas anyway. So I decided to look at high end LCD's.
I saw the Samsung LN37B650 at a local electronics store (for $300 more than the price on Amazon) and side-by-side it looked head and shoulders above all the other 37" LCD's in the store. After doing more research online and comparing specs, I decided upon this TV.
Amazon delivered to my home in Los Angeles in 5 business days through a delivery company called "Pilot". The delivery arrived exactly within the appointment window I scheduled with Pilot, and the box and merchandise were in perfect condition.
I connected the TV to my HD cable box with an HDMI cable. HD picture quality is immaculate. I never could see the picture quality in SD at the local store, so I was surprised and thrilled to see that in SD the picture is every bit as good as my reliable CRT that this TV replaced. The SD picture on my 50" Sony KDS-50A2000 does not compare to the excellent SD picture on the Samsung.
My only complaint is the lack of a printed manual. At these prices, Samsung shouldn't have gone cheap by neglecting to add a paper manual. Having to review the manual on the TV is a pain.
I could've spent ½ the price on a cheap 37" LCD, but would've hated the picture. I think in this case, the saying "you get what you pay for" holds true. I am glad that I spent more to get what may be the best possible picture quality in a 37" LCD TV.
 Excellent picture, AutoMotion settings annoying May 18, 2009

Purchased this a few weeks ago. The image quality is excellent. The 120Hz eliminates the 3:2 pull down you'll see when watching movies. However, there is an interpolation mode that generates the extra frames, attempting to reduce motion blur artifacts.
The irony is that while it looks great in many instances, it can generate artifacts in fast paced sporting events (though most of the time this is fine). Also, if you watch movies, the film tends to look like a soap opera video quality until this is switched Off (eliminating the motion blur makes the image really clear and strangely too much like video).
You can set this Off but it is nested under three menus and I cannot seem to save this setting. Very annoying when it kicks in during a movie. This setting does not appear to save correctly so I find I have to switch it Off as a go back and forth between HDMI sources. I am hoping a firmware fix can correct this in the future.
Some other annoyances:
*lack of headphone jack (you will need to get an adapter)
*if you want to use the "buttons" on the set itself, they are solid state and hard to find on the surface of the TV
*no physical manual; digital copy on USB key that is included
Pros:
*excellent picture quality (when the correct settings are chosen)
*lots of ports
*nicely designed frame
outstanding product April 20, 2009

I highly recommend this LCD TV. Many "experts" claim the difference between 720p and 1080p is not noticeable in a 37" size lcd tv. I disagree with those opinions as I found the images much sharper, the blacks much blacker and the colors truer whether the source is Direct HD TV or my Sony Blu-ray DVD player. Samsung has made an outstanding product.
"SPOT ON" -- TOP NOTCH July 1, 2009

Delivery was exactly on time and a day earlier than specs. They arrived at exactly their apptmt. time of noon and set up the set and answered all my questions and were gone in 45 minutes. I called their dispatcher to arrange day & time of delivery as I was on a tight schedule and that was the only time frame I had -- they were >> "spot on". So far so good. I hit a button on the remote and lost the picture, couldn't correct the problem from the manual so I called their help line 800# as listed on the front of the manual and the lady solved the problem for me very quickly. The picture quality is excellent / superior -- 5 stars there. I'm still having trouble programing all the volume control into my cable remote so I'm still using 2 remotes, but that's OK because I need the tv remote in order to use the sleep timer anyway. I haven't called for help on this issue yet -- could be something I haven't done yet but this = minor.
Overall, I am very pleased and would definately recommend this set to a friend. I was locked into a 37" maximum screen size because of my wall cabinet. There seems to be less choice and independent reviews on this screen size but I did find an independent website specializing in only 37" and it highly recommended this set over the Panasonic Vierea which was the 2nd choice after it's review and also over the Sony. I opted for the 120Hz over the 60Hz even tho it was more expensive because I figure that I will be keeping this as my main set for quite a few years and wanted to get the best currently available. I haven't yet addressed the issue of headphones for this set but have seen other reviews commenting on lack of a specially designated earphone jack. Will advise my experience on this after I've gotten into it. Overall -- top notch!!
Outstanding 37" LCD July 14, 2009

Before I purchased my Samsung LN37B650, I did a ton of research both on-line in the various electronic forums and in person at several brick and mortar electronics stores. It took me nearly two months to make a final decision.
I was looking to purchase a 32" or 37" LCD television that was 1080p with a 120hz refresh rate. I looked at the Sony KDL-32XBR9, the LG 32LH40, the LG 37LH40, the LG 37LH55 (240hz), and the Panasonic 37" G1 in addition to the Samsung B650 in both the 32" and 37" versions.
After narrowing my choice down to the Sony or the Samsung based on my own observations and other reviews that I had read, I chose the Samsung LN37B650. I really wanted a 37" rather than 32", so that eliminated the Sony from consideration since they do not have a 37" panel this year. Also, I own a 2008 Samsung LN46A650 that I purchased from Amazon in April, 2008, and since it has been a perfect TV for me, I chose to go with a proven winner.
I'm using the new 37B650 in our small sun room/family room that has windows on three sides. Glare is not an issue, especially if we draw the shades on the side where the sun comes in. The TV has outstanding black levels, brilliant colors, and an absolutely glorious picture. This is truly a great TV.
I might also add that the CEVA personnel who delivered the TV were very courteous and brought the TV into the room where we wanted it. Since it is less than 40", they did not set it up for us, but we had no problem doing it ourselves. Attaching the stand was no problem, and for those who have said the stand looks somewhat "flimsy," I would have to disagree. It seems to be very sturdy and the entire unit seems very stable.
Overall, I think I made a wise decision. I bought an outstanding TV at an excellent price and it was delivered on time and with no hassle at all. What more can you ask? Thanks, Amazon. I'm a customer for life.
