Samsung LN37B650 Review: 37” LCD HDTV

Up for Review: Samsung LN37B650T1F LCD TV. If you are a gaming buff, then this HDTV is just right for you. With Ultrafast 5 ms response time and Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology, all the video games come alive with a total absence of blurring. All the fast action sequences can also be viewed in complete clarity with no lagging behind of pixels. The corresponding picture obtained on the TV is also of high quality. The 1080p resolution aids in this process. All the digital quality images include progressive scan and thus help to subscribe to the high quality standards set by Samsung.

The design of the TV is also quite pleasant. It includes an Ultra Clear Panel which reduces the glare without hampering the inherent brightness of the screen. Both the horizontal and vertical viewing angles are decently placed at 178 degrees which makes sure that a person sitting a little away from the TV also gets a great view. There is no washing out of the colors at the edges. The same can be said about the audio too. It can be heard distinctly in any part of the room. This is because of the 2 built-in down-firing speakers. The SRS TruSurround HD sound feature makes sure that the sound is audible in every part of the room.

Samsung LN37B650 Features and Specifications Review:

• 37” display
• 1920 x 1080 resolution
• 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
• USB port
• 4 HDMI
• Picture-in-picture
• PC input
• 2 x 10W speakers
• 120 Hz screen refresh rate
• Energy Star qualified

The dynamic contrast ratio is a healthy 100,000:1 which looks after the picture quality and gives a consistent image by optimizing both the dark and the bright areas. There is also a built-in HDTV tuner which allows you to watch all the free-to-air channels being broadcast. However, if you want to watch satellite television, then you have to opt for a set top box. And these programs on TV have a vivid color thanks to the Wide Color Enhancer2 and CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) technology.

Connectivity is well thought out by including 4 HDMI inputs which is quite a lot considering the 37-inch display. It even supports copy-protect HD broadcast content. It also includes the feature which enables you to control the peripheral devices with the remote. Other features include the V-chip parental control and the InfoLink functionality. The latter allows you to access stock quotes and news in real time. The Samsung LN37B650T1F is of course very energy efficient conforming to the Energy Star criteria. With all the basic features intact, you can buy this HDTV and be happy with your investment.
