Reviews of the Samsung LN-46A630: Does anyone own the new 630.

I just picked up the A630 for that exact reason. My friend has an A650 and in my opinion the reflections are just as bad in his living room as they were in the showroom of the big box stores with the 650. I have two windows directly opposite the TV and a large bow window to the right. My concern was how little control I would have with that much natural light hitting the TV. So far the set has past the evening lighting test with flying colors. With all of the possible lights on in this large room, there is absolutely no reflecting light visible on the TV. This morning with the Sunlight filtering directly into the back windows hitting the TV, there is no reflections to speak of. Awesome, consistent picture on the "matte" screen. Thanks to the reviews of the 650's about the reflections, I took a chance with the 630 with the "matte" screen and am I ever glad that I did. The difference is significant and because of this reason, I truly believe that the 630 has a better overall picture. It's all about personal preference. I just picked mine up @ CC last night for $1529 which is actually lower than Amazon right now. The actual price @ CC is $1999 on sale for $1699 and they let me use a 10% off coupon which brought the price down to $1529 in tax-free NH and with 24 mos. 0% financing. I am still making adjustments and learning just what this TV is capable of, but I got to tell you that the Browns/Broncos game in HD was nothing less than orgasmic. I was in awe switching between that and the Hockey game in HD. Unbelievable! This TV is the way to go if you want all of the features of the 6 series but not all of the reflections. Get this TV, you will be happy that you did!

I got the b650 for 999 (in store only) at fry's, so it was much cheaper then the the b630 (don't go on sale as much). Actually I got it at 1199 and they dropped the price, so I got the discount a week later. I like the shiny screen, so yes, the color on the 650 is better if you have no reflection. If you have lots of windows then maybe the 630, but I don't think it is a big deal. The 630 looks amost like the cheaper sony v5100, so you might as well just get that. I spent a lot of time at the store looking at these. Your eyes will be your judgement and my eyes liked the 650 more. Spec different: 650 is 100,000 vs 630 80,000 dynamic contrast ratio.

Very good points. I noticed the 630 last night actually was in the $1400s. It seems to have been raised over night.I'm not in marketing, but it seems to me they adjusted the 630's price in order to make the 650 appear as if it is a good deal. Which don't get me wrong. $1550 is a great price for this TV based on other suppliers. However, it's illogical that they are raising the price unless they are simply trying to make more money or are getting low on stock. Either way, like you Stratixman, I won't buy it from amazon at this price. I had planned to use amazon but if they don't lower it back to where it was a week ago, I'll be using newegg. I'll give it a couple days but after that, newegg will have my business. Very good points. I noticed the 630 last night actually was in the $1400s.

Hmm,, I looked at both. I liked the 630 more. I was able to keep the price within $99 of the 530 when I got mine at Circuit City. It was just prior to them announcing they were shutting down. I think they were willing to deal on certain items. They matched the Amazon price in December and I was very happy with the deal. Although I always forget Amazon has the edge after taxes, but I got it the day I looked at it so to me it was worth the extra $. The 120HZ is a constant on the LN52A630. It's not to be confused with the Auto Motion Plus feature. The AMP is great for sports and documentary type programs or anything in a live format like news and such. For movies I'd turn it off. Both were nice sets, but for NOT much more $$ at the time I bought, I'd say the 630 was the better value.

Yea I can't wait that long and I heard this TV has a horrible buzz issue so I'm sadly just going to downgrade a buy a PN50B650. It's the exact same TV except not as thin, yet still pretty thin.

Do not hesitate to buy from Amazon, and do not hesitate buying the 750 if it is in your reach. Amazon is great and 750 Samsung is the absolute berries. I don't think there could be a better marriage of electronics and seller.D.King

Guess what. Sharp is a major supplier of panels to Samsung. Which means your 6300 most likely has a Sharp panel display. Google it.

What are firmware updates? I too am interested in the 1600 to go with my Samsung tvs. I have a 46 and 52 inch 600 series. I also want to have everything I need to make me go Wow!

Hey I know you guys posted a couple of weeks ago, but if it helps, I have owned both the 4065 and the new LN46A650. I can tell you that the picture quality on the new series is literally leaps and bounds above the older models. I personally think that the 650 series is one of the, if not the best available lcd tv on the market today. If you do not want to spend the extra money on the new series, the 4065 is much better than the 4061, has a better processor, higher contrast ratio, brighter screen for better color saturation, etc.

yeah dont get this tv my friends has it. the problem with it is fuzzy picture. i did a comparison with my own 1080p Lns-4095d samsung tv. Even though my tv is relatively older it didnt have fuzzy pic. Also note that both were using hdmi cable. however the LN-T5265F did not want to swtich to a 1080p resolution. everytime we did it got static. also note that all tests were done using a ps3. I recommned a Samsung however not this one.

Thanks, have been tracking the prices. The 630 model is below 900.00 and looks like a good option if the 650 doesn't acome down soon. I'll wait alitlle longer. Hate tp pay more when it was that low. New models will be coming out soon at higher prices, so may see some closeout here.

Not yet, but I'm thinking about it seriously. I've reviewed a lot of different tv's, this one looks like the best...I particularly like the 50,000:1 ratio. The only thing holding me back is, I've heard that new models of Blu Ray DVD are coming out later this summer that are much improved... Anyway, I saw this (the 46" model) in a store, and it looks VERY nice...

We just got our 46in Samsung 750 from 6ave without any problems. TV was packaged nicely and delivered timely. I had read their return policy prior to buying, so knew of the risks.

I ordered mine from amazon on Sunday and it was delivered yesterday. I am returning the samsung pn50c7000. I guess I ordered it at the perfect time.

600 Bucks? WOW! At that price, it's time to put the 42LD450 in the ring with the Samsung LN 40C630. Personally, I'd have little hesitation landing on the Samsung for the extra 50 bucks. I hear the Samsung is $50 better than our LG, but not $100+ better.

Don, he (James) was talking about the 640 not the 620. I have both machines. The 640 is the one I had with the 6c10 error but I was able to get it fixed as it was under warranty. So far the 620 is holding up but it doesn't get used a lot.

The Samsung TV, which I apparently know nothing about, has been stellar, performing the same today as it did the day I bought it and set it up... Absolutely No Complaints !!! Very Satisfied, but then again I DON'T know anything, I just own a UN40C6300, and I am happy with it. Oh Yes, I forgot, I am not qualfied to be happy with my purchase. end..
