Samsung LN40B650 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Review

The TV is great! Excellent picture and sound. Lots of inputs for different types of devices (HDMI, computer input, component inputs, etc.). The user interface is pretty good. It's very easy to find most functions and operate them. Also, it gives you the ability to turn off all the features that consumers think they want, but which make the picture look much worse, such as motion estimation/compensation, over-sharpening, etc. You can set them to your liking or turn them off. The only annoying feature is a startup/shutdown sound which cannot be turned off. (Well, you can mute it before powering off and you won't hear the shutdown.) It's at a set volume and doesn't appear configurable, so every time the TV turns on, it makes a loud musical sound. Very annoying.

Unfortunately, Amazon completely dropped the ball on delivery. I ordered it on Black Friday and was told I would have it by the following Tuesday. This was a blatant lie. What actually happened was they shipped it to a local delivery company on Tuesday. On Tuesday, the company called me to set up a time to deliver it to my house. The earliest opening they had was the following Saturday. So a product that was promised in 4-5 days actually took 8-9 days to be delivered. Amazon was fully aware that they were not delivering the product directly to me. They claimed that the local delivery company would contact me ahead of time to schedule delivery to my home. When I hadn't heard from them by Monday, I called them and they were annoyed that I was calling about a product that they hadn't received yet, and wouldn't schedule a time until they had received the item first. All-in-all it was a horrible delivery experience.
