Samsung nc10 or 120?? Advice?

The brightest screens will be glossy. A matte screen is matte because it's dispersing the photons, and some of them are reflected back into the display. So, if you want the very BEST picture quality, you will need to get a glossy screen. I have had glossy screens (famous AppleColor II display released with original MAC II, and Samsung 52" TV), and they are no big deal. You will find that in most environments, a matte screen is not effective enough - it is still worthwhile to reposition your screen or cover up the light source. So, in reality, if you always end up fixing the occasional light-source problem even for a matte screen, why not enjoy a brighter more colorful glossy screen 24/7 ?? Does that make sense? A glossy screen benefits you 24/7. A matte screen benefits you only occasionally, and you can get the same benefit (normally) by simply repositioning your display.

Are you buying a no frills Samsung. If so there is not a lot of difference. The TCL does not have a great deal of inputs usually the Samsung will have more and a better picture. I bought this TV for my RV most of the time i can't receive HD signal, so a really fantastic picture was not a great concern. My advice believe it or not is to buy a plasma. If you can control the lighting in your room you won't be sorry. But if you tight on money this is a good entry level TV, by the way don't do the software upgrade I hear it will screw up the TV

Thanks very much for your reply. I'm sure there is a great deal of compatibility within the Samsung product line, so your reply is reassuring. For the sake of a few bucks I don't have much to loose, and everything to gain. Thanks, again! RH

What about the nc20... basically an nc10, but with a 12.2" screen? Newegg already has it, I hope Amazon will follow. It is 1G RAM standard, bu expandable to 2G and same 160G HD.

I was down to the same two. I found the sony for the same price as the samsung and went for it. I think I made the right choice of the two. I only have Comcast Digital due to them not offering HD in my area. I think the picture is great with DVD's and good if not very good with SD Cable. Some of the reviews I saw did not like the sound but I think it sounds very good without external speakers. My only complaint is the blur on fast moving sporting events. I hope it improves when I get HD but I can live with it. If I had the money I would have went for the 120 MHZ on the sony xbr or samsung 4071 but could not swallow a $2000 nut for a TV. I don't think you can wrong, when I have a good signal the picture looks great. I have only had the TV for 3 weeks but find myself watching a PBS show on birds flying around for hours. I looked for 6 months before I bought the KDL-40V3000, my wife asked me what I was going to do with all my free time. I told her I was going to watch it! FYI: I bought it at Circuit City for $1299 on sale and received an additional 10% off discount from the entertainment book. Good Luck

Thanks Tim for the education and advice. I decided if I was going to bother doing it, I should do it right... so I went with the sub on newegg and will just donate or ditch my non-powered Samsung. Thanks again for all your help!

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

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.

i can't speak for the 46", as my TV is the 22"...that being said, you are correct, my set actually has a 60hz refresh, not the 120 that is hinted at in the "marketing" material...this is technical malarkey for "sort-of"...well it's not...for a little set in the kitchen where we use ours no big deal at all...we watch all sorts of stuff on it, including Blu-Ray movies...for a "main" set where you are watching a lot of "action-stuff" like sports this would be a consideration...blurring as an example...Samsung makes a great product, however my personal recommendation for something that large i.e., would be a Sony...they do cost more, and the picture is worth it...and the re-fresh will more likely be an actual 240hz or better depending on the model...good-luck...jo'c

Check Monoprice and Blue Jean cables for your needs. Don't buy the expensive cables - but do buy good ones from one of the two I mentioned. They are both good suppliers - I have bought from both. Which cables you will need will depend on the devices. For example; is the the DVD equipped with HDMI or component or S-Video? RCA plugs for sound or optical. Better let your son know about each one ASAP so he can get the proper cables in time for him coming home for the installation (that's what I did for my mom recently). Good luck You will really enjoy your new Samsung - it is a fine piece of equipment. Geo

Hi! I have been reading up on both tv's and it looks like the panasonic V10 is by far the best of the both. I just purchased the sammy b860 and also trying to find a good deal with the panny V10 (since it cost more). Both tv's can display the 24p at 96hz(24hzx4=96hz), so since the panny G10 can only do the 24p at 48hz(ficker problem). That's why tto me the sammy B860 is bump to second best, but this sammy has a buzzing sound if you live high above sea level. Remember this is just my opinion. hope this help someone......:)

I would say yes. I was in the exact same position just a short month ago and before that 2 years ago. My 1st purchase of an LCD was between a 37" and a 40". I went with the 40 and was very happy I did. When our 40" went into the bedroom and we were looking for a TV room replacement it was between the 46" and the 52". So we were looking at 6 more inches or a whole foot. You may not initially notice a big difference in the store because there are so many sets side by side, but when you get it home you'll really see how nice a large screen looks. (if you have the space) Now that we have a 52" I feel like a 60" would be just fine at my home. I ended up with a Samsung LN52A630. Its a very nice set with the 120HZ process rate and I got a very good deal on it. If I had not gotten a deal on the set and had to choose between a 46" with the 120HZ and a 52" without it,,, I'd go with the 52". I think you'll really like seeing a BIG impressive picture. Good luck.

@SM, for skyping, the 1201N will be overkill. If he wants to watch 1080P media (mkvs, wmvs, quicktime, youtube, bluray with external drive) then I highly recommend the 1201N.

It is 120 and I am 100% sure. This might be one of the most over rated stats though. You may not be a video game player but Xbox one and PS4 both play games at 60 even sometimes 30. This TV does not let you manipulate the rate and some TVs do. You will read about TVs having a soap opera effect and this TV does on some programming. Higher the rate the more likely it is. That being said I love the TV.

I'm also trying to decide between the two. Only difference seems to be that the 52b750 is 240hz instead of 120hz for the 55b650. I think that has something to do with response time. Hoping that we can get responses indicating whether or not the average person can notice the difference when watching tv. I would rather spend an extra $100 for a larger tv but wonder if I would be missing out on a better picture with the 240hz.

Thanks for all the tips and advice. I've had a 20GB for quite a while. The hard disc failed at one point, but I was fortunately able to fix it. Think I'm going to go for the Classic. That nano is very tempting, but 120GB is hard to beat.
