I was recently researching Samsung televisions because I was looking for a top quality all-around high definition television that I could use to replace my old television without breaking the bank.  If you have ever been in the market for a television then you know how daunting the search can be and how hard it is to find a television that has everything you use without paying for all of the extras that you don’t use.

After reading some of the Samsung LN46B650 reviews I decided to give it a test run for myself to find out more about the capabilities of this unit.  I discovered some great features that made this television the all-around unit that I was looking for so, I want to share with other readers what I found so great about the Samsung LN46B650 LCD HDTV.

Great All-Around Features

The reason I found this unit to be a great all-around television is because of its state-of-the-art sharp on-screen images and its capability to connect to your home network so you can conduct your usual Internet activities when you do not want to watch television.  Although the Samsung LN46B650 is a little higher in price than smaller screen HDTVs, all of the extras and the great picture quality make it all worthwhile.

What seals the deal is the Auto Motion Plus 120Hz feature which catches picture motion by doubling the frame rate from 60 to 120 frames per second on the 120Hz LCD panel.  This type of technology creates a seamless transition from one frame to the next resulting in a very pleasurable viewing experience.  This technology coupled with the 100,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio will provide you with an unparalleled viewing experience with deep blacks and bright whites that create sharply contrasted imaging.

Impressive Full High Definition 1080P

In addition to Auto Motion Plus and Dynamic Contrast Ratio features the Samsung LN46B650 panel contains almost 2 times more scanning lines and twice the resolution when compared to other standard HDTVs.  More scanning lines create more pixels, fine details, and an overall improved picture quality.

The panel is also equipped with a really nifty 2/Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp as a backlight which provides over 90 percent coverage of the National Television Systems Committee standard where other LCD televisions only cover about 70 percent.  The result is very sharp color contrast that is unmatched when compared to other similar televisions to this model.  If this isn’t enough, you can also enjoy the added PIP (Picture in Picture) feature which allows you to enjoy vivid color while dividing the picture into two TV programs you can watch simultaneously.

Very Cool Media 2.0

One of the foremost highlights in the Samsung LN46B650 specs is the awesome capability to capture Internet activities on the 46” screen thanks to the Media 2.0 technology.  This cool new technology patented by Samsung allows you to receive content from Yahoo, Flickr, and other Internet locations right on the television screen.  What’s more, the Media 2.0 programs allows you to access a content library that is chocked full of pre-loaded content.

I was overly impressed with the fact that Media 2.0 is DLNA certified which allows you to access the PCs that are connected to your home network to view movies and photos which are stored on your personal PC.  All you need is Internet connectivity with an Ethernet connection or a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) in your home.  You can also connect the television to a flash drive or digital camera to access content via the USB port included on the unit.

Cutting Edge LCD Panel

The LCD panel on the Samsung LN46B650 has a distinctive high tech design with a touch of translucent red color around the bezel which adds an accent to the sleek black polished motif.  The bezel with a touch of color is fashion forward with great reviews from other people who have purchased this unit.  I personally like the unique look and the fact that the unit is Energy Star compliant.

The verdict is that this is a great television with all-around performance that offers many features that you will keep discovering long after you have set this beauty up in your living area.  Although the average retail price ranges around $2000 I found a great deal on a unit that was several hundred dollars cheaper here.
