The Samsung HL56A650 offers the sharpest and clearest images available in an HDTV. Despite its impressive 56" display the HL56A650 is surprisingly thin at only 14" deep. TruSurround XT powered by 20W provides realistic surround sound without any rear speakers. The HL56A650's DLP chip is faster than any other HDTV technology, with millions of mirrors switching on and off 15,000 times a second to deliver ultra-sharp picture for fast moving images. When combined with Samsung's Cinema Smooth light engine, the result is a crisp, bright picture with deep, rich colors that is closer to film. A high contrast ratio provides blacker blacks, sharper whites and vibrant colors. The 56" panel's precise, sharp picture and fast process speeds make this screen ideal for sports, fast action shows and movies, and gaming.The Wiselink USB port turns this TV into a 56" picture frame when you plug in your USB flash drive or listen to your favorite MP3 files. Three HDMI inputs allow you to connect your HD components enjoy a pure-digital one-cable connection.

Pretty good

"So i purchased this TV last November, actually it was probably the 2007 model and i'm pretty sure this is the 2008 model. Either way same TV with same features, etc. The TV was working great from November 2007 to May 2008. During May it started messing up on me. It would split thin lines down the TV and would split my picture. The easiest way to explain it is to say take odds and even. It would have about 50 th..." Read Full Review »

so, so picture & technical issues

"I was willing to sacrifice on picture a little thinking I was getting a great value, but now I wish I would have bit the bullet and spent the money on a better TV. I had to send my first one back because on spots on the screen. Second TV doesnt have that issue, but has failed to turn the picture on a couple times when starting up. Not sure what the deal is with that yet. Very poor remote too If you have low..." Read Full Review »

"If you are not hanging your TV on a wall, you don't need an LCD TV. LCD technology is not perfected yet.

My story begins with me buying and returning 3 ~52" LCD models. They were the Sharp LC-52D64U and Samsung's LN52A550 & 650. The Quality of the TV's increased greatly in that order. When all was s …"  Read Full Review »
