Samsung keeps broadening the horizon of what's possible in consumer-grade LCD HD televisions, and its model LN52A650A is a fine example of its ever-improving offerings.

Reviews across the Internet are already buzzing about the LN52A650A's improved specs across the board, from its 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio to its 120Hz processing.

But how does this set compare vs. leading sets from Sony's Bravia line-up and the Aquos series from Sharp? Keep reading for our quick features review.


The LN52A650A promises to turn your living room into the ultimate home theatre with a wide range of features that employ some of the latest in audio and video technologies.

The aforementioned 120Hz processing, for instance, reduces motion blur by inserting an extra frames in between the standard 60 frames of video per second. This helps the LN52A650A deliver smoother movement and reduces eye strain, which has been a common complaint among buyers of older LCD TVs.

The LN52A650A is no slouch in the audio department either, benefiting from the SRS TruSurround XT sound system, helping to produce movie theatre-like sound to envelop you with the rich sounds of your favorite films, TV shows and videogames.

And unless you have an uncommonly high number of high-end video components, you should have plenty of options for plugging in your gear. The LN52A650A offers 4 HDMI ports for the best signal transfer of your HD content, pllus a number of other connection options.

Compared to Samsung's earlier 71 and 81 series LCDs, the LN52A650A and its other new models are said to further improve on the company's growing dominance in the LCD market. Critics and consumers alike have been recently securing Samsung's position as a leader in LCD technology, delivering a quality viewing experience at a price that's well within the grasp of the average consumer.

And since this is such a new model TV, be sure to watch for consumer reviews as they stream in. One place to find out what other buyers have to say about this or any other set is the user reviews at Amazon.com.
