LOL Walmart sells this TV for $898.00 before taxes. NEW IN THE BOX !!! LOL
I returned the 40A630 that I bought last month because of one dead pixel, and I replaced it with this spanking new model (date first available at Amazon on March 9th). This LCD TV is really beautiful - the "Red Touch of Color" is not quite subtle but I'm sure you'll like it as much as I do (it will match whatever furniture you have). The picture quality of this model (100,000:1 contrast ratio) is quite stunning compared to the 40A630 (40,000:1) that I returned.
This TV offers the newly introduced Internet@TV. Currently, only Samsung B series has this feature, other manufacturers will incorporate this feature in their future models. This feature is better than the first generation Infolink (RSS feed) that's offered by the A series. You can actually add all sorts of TV widgets, which in the next couple of months will include some of the big online content providers (NY Times, Netflix, eBay, Twitter, Google, etc). Currenly, only Yahoo widgets are available (news, weather, Flickr, finance). You can connect your TV to the internet via ethernet, or you can plug Samsung's Wireless USB adaptor (sold separately) in one of the 2 USB ports.
Other notable features:
a) 2 USB 2.0 slots - I use one slot for the included flash drive which contains the TV manual, and the other slot for my 8GB flash containing pictures, music and video.
b) Content Library - Intenal flash with preloaded content like cooking recipes, artwork screensavers, games, and pre-school children contents. You can download more contents from the internet. I don't find this feature interesting. I tried it twice during the first week, and I haven't explored it again since.
c) Swivel base - I think Samsung is the only brand that offers this feature, which I find really useful.
d) Firmware upgrade via direct internet connection.
Get this TV, you won't regret it. Your friends will be envious if you tell them about the great features of this TV, which are not yet available in LCD TVs prior to March 2009.
I bought this from Electronics Expo, one of the most reliable merchants of Amazon. The company is located in New Jersey -- a) quick delivery because I live in New York City, and b) no sales tax because I live in New York.
You have to get one of these! We received our unit yesterday afternoon and was watching HD within 5 - 10 minutes. Setup is very easy (CEVA set up TV) and after connecting HDMI cables, you're good to go. Color, picture, clarity, detail - absolutely amazing!!
No motion blur, no jerkiness or fuzziness, no broken frame appearance. Glare does not appear to b an issue as we have one end of our room in 70% glass. SO far, on a sunny day, no problem.
The "B" model is physically different than the "A" model. The frame has a slight Vee at the bottom of the unit and the base is now rectangular with a 2 inch clear post. The TOC red is nice - sort of dresses up the unit.
We had never seen one of the models, so made the purchase cold. My wife and I cann0t be more pleased with the buy. We sat, almost open mouthed last night watching a movie. I have never seen her impressed over a TV set, until now.
CEVA kept my unit in Sacramento, Ca. for 5 days before delivery. They did deliver before the window of time closed on the stated delivery date. However, they noted, as in the prior review, that I had been contacted for delivery. I had not, so had to get thier info to make contact and arrange delivery. The delivery team did an excellent job, set he whole thing up for me and made sure I was satisfied.
Blu-ray (Samsung P-1500) works great and "Anynet" feature works great. I have not had to touch one control on the tv for any adjustment. Speakers are fine, unless you are an audiophile, or want movie theater sound effects.
Excellent TV and highly recommended!
I'm happy to be the first to rate this wonderful LCD. I'll be short and to the point, and maybe come back and supplement this review after a few more weeks of use.
Aesthetically, the TV is clean and elegant. Love the touch of red. Love the crystal base. Love the fact that it swivels. It's a beautiful piece of equipment, and looks a good bit more modern than the more curvilinear A model. I'm very happy I waited for this one.
Set up was a snap. Took me about 2 minutes to connect the base. It took longer to remove the stickers. The manual is on a little USB drive that plugs in the side of the TV, but I haven't bothered with it yet.
The picture is stunning, right out of the box. Absolutely beautiful. Only adjustment I made was to turn the brightness down slightly, as I have a very dark TV room.
The on-screen graphics and menus are both intuitive and elegantly designed. I hate when the industrial design is carefully considered, and the on-screen UI is forgotten. That didn't happen here. Both are wonderful.
I somewhat skeptically connected my camera card reader to one of the USB plugs on the side, and inserted a memory card from my father's camera. He'd hoped to show us pictures, but didn't have a plan for how. Perfect timing, as the TV had arrived that day. The TV recognized the card, and very quickly we were watching pictures and video in high res on our new TV. Fantastic.
Less than perfect: the sound. Actually, it's a bit of joke. But, that doesn't effect my rating because I don't feel that the internal speakers are really meant to be used w/ a TV like this. I'm using a 5 channel surround system, but before I hooked it up, I heard the speakers. It makes sense that they wouldn't sound good since you can't even see them.
Also less than perfect was the delivery process via this company, CEVA/Eagle. Note that they claimed to have contacted me via email to set up delivery, but I never rec'd anything. They didn't call. So, I had to google them and call them. Plan for this! Stay on top of them. The driver called me no less than 4 times during the day, each time making up some goofy excuse for being even later. I think he was watching the NCAA tournament at a bar somewhere. But, in the end, it arrived 1 day late, and in perfect condition. So, I don't care. And, I can't take away a star from the TV due to the delivery service. I just think Amazon needs to communicate the process better with it's customers and make sure that CEVA does a better job too.
Anyway, Amazon's price is great, the TV is fabulous. Enjoy!

We received the TV far ahead of schedule (almost 2 weeks!). The picture was amazing out of the box. I have never even had the TV callibrated or changed any of the settings on it. The TV makes regular channels look good. Our hd channels are amazing! Would recommend this TV to anybody and I will not by another brand again!
We now own the Samsung 52 inch model and this 40 inch model. Works very well simple to set up and not too heavy to handle. Picture quality is excellent. We bought the LCD rather than a Plasma TV because in my research Plasma TV's seemed to blow transformers at a regular rate.
This Samsung LCD model has all the features we needed and then some. Multiple inputs of various type (RCA plugs, HDMI plus an ethernet connection to our LAN)
Great product ..would recommend
Excellent picture quality. The Red color effecto looks nice.
Only drawback is I cannot manage my old SAMSUNG DVD Player using the TV Control. It needs to be ANYNET Compatible.
This TV was so clear and beautiful to watch, we bought another for our bedroom!!! most beautiful picture I have ever seen. Your service was very prompt and if you need to ask a question, Amazon is the best and if I can buy on there I use noone else!!! wonderful company!!!!Samsun
Do not hesitate to buy a TV from Amazon. I did a lot of research and decided to order online. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Delivery was great, and there is no way I could have gotten a better deal anywhere else.
Outstanding picture--you feel you are part of the picture. Price [...] lower than best price in store(using amazon.com)Plug and play set up. Although better sharpness w/black balance in low mode.
I was so impressed with the Samsung 32" 720p I bought a couple of years ago that after much research I moved it to the bedroom and went with this set in the livingroom. I do not exagerate when I say peoples mouths drop when they see the picture. I was a Sony guy for my entire life until I saw Samsung LCD products. Every showroom we went to, my girlfriend and I would have our eyes pulled to the Samsung pictures above all others. After my girlfriend and I split up, I couldn't bare to take this set from her so I bought a second one for my new home. Eight weeks ago I moved it to my bedroom and brought in a Samsung LN55A950. I don't see any more televisions in my life for a while, and after my ex-girlfriend saw the new LN55A950 she's coming over too much now. She calls me her "Friend with Benefits".
I did quite a bit of research on line visited the local big box stores, compared and contrasted and the Samsung LN40A650 seemd like the TV for me. I have been very pleased with the purchase, especially pleased with Amazons price and delivery service (big box and Video only were not even within $300 of Amazon price). I had a bit of difficulty getting my MAC to connect properly, but Samsung service was helpful with that aspect.
I reccomend this product and Amazon as the vendor.
I'll be frank and say that I was hesitant to purchase a big ticket item online. I was wonderfully surprised when I got the price and delivery that exceeded what I could have done with a store purchase. Yep, the price was better than local stores by about $300. Instead of being given a 4-hour window to sit waiting for local delivery, this delivery was actually early and very accommodating to my schedule. "Dan", the delivery guy, brought in the unit, unpackaged it, loaded the batteries in the remote, assisted with the hook-up, and cleaned up after himself. You can get that from a store, but it costs extra. I'll not be hesitant again. Thanks Amazon. ...Don
I am happy with my new TV, but I hope it lasts longer than the 24 months I got from my last 32" Samsung 720p LCD. Price was good too.
