New TV today!

[INTRIGUED]

Well planning on going and getting another tv tomorrow. Looking at getting a 52" Samsung 120hz LCD. One thing I need help with is what series to get.. 650, 750, or the 850. Leaning towards the 650 just because of the money side naturally but the 850 I would think would obviously be "better".

What do you guys think?

We just picked up a 46" A630 for my girlfriend a couple weeks ago. You don't see them in the stores as muc,h but it's pretty much identical to the A650, except for the screen has a matt finish instead of the glossy screen on the A650. She has a window facing the TV, so the matt finish screen helps cut down on glare a good bit.

I highly recommend it. We got her the TV, along with a Samsung Blue-ray, and the Samsung reciever/surround setup. It's amazing. Her new setup blows my 720p setup outta the water.

The 120hz is something else!! Things will zip by on the screen, but won't go out of focus. It's incredible. It does take a little getting used to though, because it's so in focus, unblurry, crystal clear, that it sometimes just tweaks you out. I highly recommend it!

Also, we got it all off Amazon. Quite a bit cheaper if you're on a tight budget, and delivered right to your doorstep! Circuit City did say they'd work with us on the price though, so if you're looking to stay local, they were the best about trying to price match.

Well we got the last one at sears, and looks like we are going to go with them again. 3 years no interest and tomorrow is the last day of it I guess. 650 is about two even give or take then the 850 is about 2700 +/- a bit. The in law has the 750 and it blows my "standard" 40 inch sammy lcd out of the water. There is no comparing.

We didn't research into the 700 and 800 series. The 630/650 seemed like it had pretty much everything. 1080p, 120hz, more inputs/outputs then we'd ever need. What does the 700 series ones have that justifies another near $1k?

The 700/800 series have slightly more contrast I think, and more inputs. The 800 series is only 1.9" thick, pretty crazy.

Well we bought the 52 inch 120hz 1080p 650 LCD. Not going to take delivery of it until we move into our house.

Main differences from what my short research was 850 was the thin one and like the 750 has built in hard drive that has games and pictures. That was it.. The all had 120hz they all were 50,000:1 contrast ratio. The housings were the only real difference. Picture quality in all three were all the same from what I could tell. They had the 650 and 850 side by side and there wasn't anything different that I could tell.

I just piced up an LG 47" 1080P 120Hz 50,000:1 LCD today yesterday, I read a lot of the reviews about it, and compared it, and have been eying this up for awhile and caved in finally.

Sounds like lots of people are getting nice TV's! We just have a lowly Samsung 40" 1080p LCD.
