User Reviews about Samsung LN40A650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color
I purchased this TV slightly over a year ago and have never had any problems with it whatsoever, as a matter of fact I am getting ready to make my 2nd Samsung purchase. I will be getting the new 6800 55" LED for my main room TV and will be marying it up with a LG Blu-Ray Player and a Pioneer receiver with Polk Audio surround speakers. I am not a tech geek by any means, I'm pretty much just like anyone else that wants a decent entertainment system to enjoy. I have read several reviews and I have to be honest, I have never experienced any problems with my samsung and when I went to best buy and cmpared all the TV's side by side and in and out. I still ended up choosing Samsung overall. I would not recommend any other HDTV. Matter of fact my brother just purchased a Vizio and he loves it. It is quite a bit cheaper than the Samsung, but I am pretty set in my ways and believe you get exactly what you pay for.... And with Amazon prices being 20-30% less than retail with free shipping, you cant go wrong and you will not be disappointed. BUY SAMSUNG!!! this message or its references are not endorsed by Samsung, Polk Audio or Pioneer in any way ;-) -- Gotta Love it!!
I got this TV Aug 2008. Within a couple of months, the red frame change shape and had to call in customer service to repair it. They had to replace the frame which changed shape due to overheating of the tv. Again now Mar 2010, I see that there are capacitor problems. My TV is dead now because of a power supply problem and got an estimate of $300 to repair it. This issue is not related to the capacitor problem but another issue altogether. I have a surge protector, but the power supply just died. The TV is awesome otherwise with respect to quality, picture and looks. But there are certain defects that you tend to see after the warranty expires. -- Good TV but hidden issues.
We have owned the TV for over a year now and throughly enjoy this TV. That said, there are two issues, one moderate to major and one minor that may prove problematic at a later date.
The TV has the volume control as a touch panel on the right hand side. We use this frequently. The panel is not actual buttons, but some type of touch sensor. The last month the volume control has begun to act up. While watching, the volume will go begin climbing to max volume. Typically, the TV gives a warning that this is about to happen because it will move one or two steps (e.g. From 15 to 16). Then less than a minute later it starts moving all the way to 100.
This is not a remote issue as we have been able to duplicate with all remotes with the batteries removed.
We have had moderate success cleaning the side panel to remove all smudges on the glass. But given a couple weeks, it begins to act up again. Since it worked fine for over a year I am concerned it is not a cleaning issue, but a sensor that is failing.
The non-issue is the remote. It works fine, but has begun to rattle. Something has broken loose in the remote. No problems yet and may last many years more.
I try a firmware update and a good cleaning. If problem persists Samsung will hear from me.
-- Great tv, but volume on bezel is problematic
