Design: Following Samsung's Touch of Color scheme the Samsung LN55B650 is glossy black with a red fade along the edges of the frame that become black as it reaches the screen. The whole frame leads down in a V-shape towards the glass-topped stand below it that can swivel.

Specifications: Featuring a 55 inch screen with a Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 100000:1 and a 120Hz refresh rate, the Samsung LN55B650 offers up to 1080p Full HD video quality viewing. The set uses Samsung's Auto Motion Plus de-judder processing enabling blur reduction and judder control. Connection-wise the LCD HDTV offers three HDMI ports, two component-video inputs, one VGA D-SUB input, one RF input for cable and satellite, an Ethernet (LAN) port, one stereo analog and one optical digital audio output. A side panel offers another HDMI port, two USB ports and one AV input with composite-video.

Features & Performance: Utilizing the same menu system and remote control as its predecessor, the Samsung LN55B650 is easy to use and navigate. The set offers Yahoo widgets for a variety of options including stocks, news, videos, games and Twitter, that appear in a banner along the bottom of the screen. Through the Internet connection you can stream videos, photos and music from DLNA-certified devices as well as from the USB ports.

Controls were abundant with picture tweaks, four adjustable picture modes, five color temperature presets, white balance, three levels of noise reduction, a seven-position gamma control and a dynamic contrast control. Performance-wise the LCD HDTV delivers accurate color in bright scenes with no over-scan for 1080i or 1080p movies and video. Black level depth was good with very smooth performance due to the adjustable de-judder processing.

The LCD HDTV does very well with standard definition sources, resolving every line effectively while PC performance was equally impressive at 1920x1080 with no over-scan or edge enhancement. All in all, the Samsung LN55B650 is a very good 55 inch LCD HDTV for the mid-range user with impressive performance that should give some of the more expensive models a run for their money.
