Samsung LN52A650

After 4 months of exhaustive research - both online and by word-of-mouth - going back and forth between technologies, swamped with 1080-this and refresh-rate-that (if you are reading this, odds are you are as I once was) it was with great trepidation that I at long last clicked on the purchase button for this Samsung 52″ TOC LCD beauty.

All my anxiety was for naught.

This is a humdinger of a TV and it worked fantastically right out of the box, no adjustments needed (though of course I had to fiddle with it a bit just to show it who was the boss).

Once it was mounted on our wall (now that was a production) and all the new components were safely stowed in the other room and connected (with a Hot Link Pro Remote Control Booster System; unbelievably worth the money, astounds your friends and works like a star) this TV has become an trusty member of the family or like a faithful family retainer who quietly goes about their work with no fuss.

I will say this, two of the inputs (one HDMI, one composite) aren’t functional, but that is being handled by Samsung’s delightful tech support (We had a service appointment, but it coincided with a 5 day visit from my parents (well worse than hanging the TV) so we have rescheduled. But I am just being persnickety because we only need three inputs any way.

I digress.

If you are at the end of your tether on your HD search, I feel your pain. I have been there. But this baby will make all that a distant memory.

Oh, as for the Touch of Colour, it’s subtle to the point of being unnoticeable and adds an air of class to what would otherwise be a $2500 box hanging on your wall.

Plus, the delivery was awesome. Truly white glove all the way up our three flights of stairs, no added charge (though we bought them lunch).

I will always be thankful to this TV from freeing me from the endless HD comparision hunt.

Good luck with yours.
