Purchased the LN46C650 model 3 weeks ago ($1167 thru Amazon) and absolutely love it. I was not sure how much added value the internet TV would provide, but after having it for a few weeks I am very glad I went with this model over the non-internet models. I haven’t tested every feature yet, so this review is based on taking the usual features for a spin.
Delivery: White-glove service was fantastic (on-time, no damage), but then again it would be pretty hard to mess up walking the set 15 feet inside the doorway. Nonetheless, they did great.
PROS:
- Pandora rocks. This is by far my favorite internet feature to stream music through the TV. I don’t have a big stereo system and FM reception is spotty, so this really was a welcome feature.
- The sound is just fine. I know some say the Samsung sound isn’t up to Sony, and that may be true, but how often are you blasting the volume past, say, 20? The room we have it set up in is relatively small (15×20), so it suits us just fine.
- YouTube, Vudo, Yahoo, Associated Press, Weather, and Flickr feeds are pretty cool. You can download movies from Netflix and Blockbuster, but i’m not sure this is any better (cheaper) than most cable services. I guess if you don’t have cable this would be great.
- I have AT&T U-Verse, and the SD picture is great when tuned to non-HD channels. The HD is amazing.
- The Automotion is great, but only for sports in my opinion. We turn it off for regular programming as with HD and Automotion on, the scenes look a little on the cheap side (maybe too real??). It is like you are in the room, which i don’t like. This is probably just a personal preference thing.
- The TV itself looks amazing and the lack of the red-touch-of-color I think is a good thing.
- Controls to tweak the picture seem more than adequate to suit anyone’s preferences, though I’m not a A/V guru.
- AllShare feature lets you access music, photos and videos contained on networked computers through your TV (after downloading/installing samsung software on your PC). This worked flawlessly and setup was intuitive.
- Plug-N-Play media contained on a thumb drive works great too.
CONS: I can’t think of any major ones, but I’ll list a few initial thoughts…
- AnyNet+ seems before its time (you have to have all Samsung devices to use as far as I can tell)
That’s about all I have. If anyone has any questions, I will try to answer. All in all, I have to give this TV a 5. The potential uses for the internet connectivity seems huge.

I’ve only had the TV for a few hours, but I have only good things to say at this point. The image quality is awesome, the box was pristine, and setting it up was really easy. The delivery guy even helped me get it mounted to the stand, which I don’t think he had to do. I like the menu system–it looks cool and is intuitive and well organized.
There are a few things I was concerned about after reading reviews of other Samsung LCD TV’s, but I haven’t found any of them to be an issue:
- The remote is not finicky. You can point it in any direction, even backwards, and it works perfectly.
- While you would not mistake the sound from the TV as coming from a good stereo, I’m very happy with it. I’ve only turned it up to about 15 out of 100, and even that seems loud in a quiet house. If it scales linearly, I can’t imagine ever needing to turn it up all the way.
- Some people complained about a system Samsung uses to dynamically adjust the backlight to get deeper blacks, and that this system is really annoying. This TV either doesn’t use it, or it’s not annoying, or maybe I just don’t know what I’m supposed to be ticked off about
- One guy got the wrong stand for his TV. I think he might just be incompetant. I admit when I looked at the TV and the stand, I wasn’t sure how they went together at first. When I found the bracket for connecting the two (with good, albeit unnecessary instructions), it became obvious.
- I’m not a big fan of the touch of color business, but most of the time you can’t even see it.
The picture quality is so beautiful I’ve even found myself watching (some) pre-recorded commercials, admiring nature shots and cars with sleek lines. The new interest in commercials will presumably wane with time.
If I discover any problems, I’ll come back and update.

I’ve been using the TV for only a few days now, but it really is a great set. The picture is amazing and the black reproduction is really good. Internet widgets are extremely easy to use and were truely plug & play; no additional set up required. This set does include netflix and pandora, even though it is not listed above. One thing to note if you are purchasing this set is that the DVI audio input and audio output connectors are stero headphone connectors, not RCA red/white ones that are usually present. This led to some scrambling to find an appropriate converter when I was setting the TV up! Also, the screen is of the glossy variety. I personally am not too bothered by it, but when the screen is dark and the room is light, you can see reflections of the wall behind you. Again, not that big of a deal for me!

I got this tv from Amazon in mid-March. It’s my first HDTV after been wanting one for a long time. I did research on this tv and liked what I saw. I honestly thought I would buy a Sony but I’m glad I bought this one. This internet HDTV is so cool with internet apps like AP news, Yahoo, Twitter, Ebay, etc.
I use this tv with my TIVOHD and cablecards so the quality of the tv is almost out of this world. I also use my PS3 and WII with this tv. My family saw Avatar last Friday on blu ray. The quality of this blu ray is just astonishing. My six year old boy actually sat through the whole movie with us and he usually only likes cartoons.
I can use my wii and have my AP News scrolling along at the bottom of the screen. How cool is that? I contacted Samsung to find out when will Facebook be available and they said it is coming soon.
Playing games like Little Big Planet, Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin Creed 2 is a gamer’s dream come true. Prefect size and YES I can have AP News scrolling at the bottom too while playing games.
The remote takes some getting used to but its perfect for this kind of tv. All the options for the tv is controlled by the remote including internet apps.
The shipping people from PILOT were great. They set it up and turned it on for me. It was a piece of cake setting up my PS3 and Wii with it.

Ordered through Amazon, and had white-glove delivery w/no problems. These guys give you a call, and can even setup a Saturday appointment.
Out of the box picture quality was too vivid for me. But the controls are extremely easy as is typical with all samsung tvs. In complete darkness, if the tv hasn’t been playing for a while, you can notice some glows around the edges, but its typical of most lcd tvs. You can tweak to get the picture quality to exactly what you would like.
The main difference between this and the LN46C630 is the internet option in this one. You need an ethernet cable, no wireless built in. But you can apparently get a wireless dongle. The main thing, I use it for is Netflix streaming. It has yahoo widgets, but being someone who spends a lot of time with computers in/outside of work, I wasn’t too impressed with the other options. I paid the extra hundred or so bucks to mostly be future proof, but you can skip it. And instead get a blu-ray player with internet options, which should give you exactly the same experience. And if you already planning to get a PS3 or waiting for the rumored nintendo HD wii, then you might as well get that instead of spending the money for the internet option on the tv.
The main disappointment with it, is that the sound quality isn’t great. Specially, with my attached blu-ray player. I can’t really tell any of the difference of HDTHS among other things that the blu-ray player is suppose to support. But if you are any serious about sound, you will invest some amount of money on a receiver anyways, so you can’t reasonably expect a TV to support it.
If you are a bargain hunter, then your local Fry’s (at least here in California) could have a better deal, but I really liked the convenience of in-home delivery and setting up on the swivel and stuff. Getting it from a local store does give you the option of exchanging it for a different one, if you dont like it or something. But I had pretty much setup my mind on this anyways.
