The LE40B651 is another one of those darned tormenting TVs that's got me really torn over what final mark to give it. For while its feature count, design and HD picture performance are all more or less outstanding for its price point, its standard...

Superb pictures ; Gorgeous design ; Great value

Sound is a bit feeble ; Limited viewing angle

Samsung follows up its recent LED successes with another excellent LCD performer that's also aggressively priced

Stylish looks ; Near plasma quality levels of contrast ; Good value

No general internet access ; No DivX streaming over network ; Slow text entry

A beautifully designed TV with great pictures and audio. The Internet@TV is a useful feature for viewing certain sites but the lack of proper internet limits the scope of what you can do

Overflowing with connections and useful features ; produces deep, dark blacks ; great depth and detail to the picture with DVDs and Blu-ray discs

Not the greatest Freeview picture ; sounds poor

The Samsung mixes style and substance to good effect, but others are better all-rounders

Great looks ; bursting with features ; good TV tuner ; adept with motion ; fine colour balance

Pictures aren't as detailed or subtle as the very best ; new competition

There's much to admire here, but the Samsung is feeling the squeeze from all directions

Looks good ; Excellent performance ; Internet facilities

Wireless dongle costs extra ; Off-axis clarity is limited

A superb bit of TV design that makes finding something to watch a cinch

No judder or blur, huge contrast ratio, sharp HD images

Limited scope of "widgets", slow menus/remote, poor speakers, average Freeview pics

Calibrated picture quality is out of this world ; Some of the best contrast performance I have seen ; Intuitive menu structure ; Good connectivity options ; Features that actually work ; Passable audio performance for a flat panel display ; Price (if...

Slight ghosting in some games ; Game Mode trashes picture quality ; Horrible viewing angles ; Availability / price gouging from retailers ; Samsung LN55B650 55" HDTV Review Comment Thread

Samsung bills themselves as one of the most popular manufacturers of HDTVs with access to the best technologies available today. While

Pretty to look at, superb picture performer, exceptional picture quality, huge feature count

Standard definition pictures could be better, sporadic processing artefacts, slightly feeble audio

Fantastic picture quality with rich contrast and tone in Standard or High Definition. The internet capabilities bode well for the future and the TV is a stylish example of contemporary units. Speaker quality leaves a bit to be desired and the widgets...
