Great TV.,
by P. Rosenzweig, 2010-05-19

Purchased this a couple of weeks back and was a little bit frustrated at first because the picture was just too voraciously crisp. Film looked like video basically until I called Samsung and we found the solution. It was just a matter of turning down the blur reduction and jutter reduction in picture options from 5 to 3. Unfortunately that detail is not covered in the user's manual so it took a call to their customer care line to work through it. Very happy now. I feel like I got an amazing amount of TV for under a grand -- delivered!

LOVE my first HDTV,
by Jason Brinkle, 2010-04-26

Like many others here, I did a LOT of homework and pricing before deciding to get this particular TV. This is also my first HDTV. CEVA was very prompt with scheduling an appointment and delivered it at the beginning of the time window. The TV is very easy to unbox and installing the stand was a cinch. Out of the box, picture quality was excellent compared to what I used to have on my 32 inch Toshiba CRT. The remote is not the greatest looking thing in the world, but it is very easy to use and the button layout is extremely comfortable and functional. The sound on this set is very rich and also an improvement over my old TV. But, the thing that really made me glad I got this TV was when I hooked up my new Blu-ray player and watched The Dark Knight. I was simply blown away by the picture quality. I will only be satisfied watching Blu-ray movies at home now! To say the least, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

If you need a place to discuss this TV or ideas on calibration settings or other HDTV topics, I've found that AVS Forum is a great place to go.

Super TV - My new hero!!!,
by C. M. Klier, 2010-06-28

Ok, so for my first HDTV I went crazy researching each and every detail I felt was important to me in a television. I had initially bought a plasma TV at a brick and mortar store only to return it a week later because of it's loud buzzing sound that seems to be an epidemic among plasma's. But I had bought that plasma because I wanted deep black levels and a fast refresh rate. So after hours of research, I had narrowed my selection down to a few models (mostly Samsung, but a couple others too.) This TV - the LN46C630 - was my top choice. It had excellent black levels for a LCD, and it's anti-judder and refresh rate were highly recommended by two trusted online sources (I don't know if it's appropriate to mention them here). The TV did not disappoint!!! The picture on this set is BETTER than the plasma I had just returned and the features and ease of use are outstanding - absolutely outstanding! I have yet to see any evidence of judder or problems with refresh rates and after hours of purposely searching for anything I could complain about, I've come up empty. I love it. My 9-year-old son loves it. My new girlfriend likes it more than she likes me! Actually, I'm pretty sure she just comes over to watch the TV :) LOL. Seriously though, I couldn't be happier and that says something because I am quite hard to please. The sound on this thing is fantastic - I have to admit I'm a bit reluctant to turn it up all the way, but it sounds great at louder than reasonable levels, although a little bit deeper base would be appreciated. Still, it's not a stereo - it's a TV and it sounds better than any stereo I've had before. The XBOX 360 looks better than real life and this HD nature sunrise show I watch every morning makes me forget I'm living in an urban apartment because I'm mentally transported to the scene. Sure, most HDTVs can do this, but to this degree?
Another note ... I bought this through Amazon's Warehouse deals and found practically nothing wrong whatsoever. It had stated that small scratches were located on the bezel and back of the unit, but I found none. It was packaged as if it was brand new. It contained everything the manual said it should and with the exception of a couple model numbers being handwritten on the back of the manual, it was in perfect condition. The delivery guys were professional and allowed me to open it up and inspect it before i signed for it. I set it up quickly and have been happy ever since. Now if I could just get that hot new girlfriend to look at me the way she looks at my TV ... I guess I don't mind being used for my electronics ;) Have fun with your new set! Chris

Love love this tv,
by Paul R. Briggs, 2010-07-07

I did a lot of research on LCD tvs with the following criteria: Under $1000, 46-52" and 1080/120. In the end, I went with the Samsung brand because its reputation for quality and I can't be happier with this model. I have DirecTV and the HD picture quality is incredible; it puts my 42" plasma 720 to shame. I have a blu ray player hooked up to it and regular non blu ray DVDs still look awesome. I told my wife that I couldn't believe they were regular DVDs. Watching from an angle didn't affect the quality either which was a concern with some of the tvs I looked at.

I agonized over this choice for a while but in the end I couldn't be happier. I'm tempted to replace my plasma immediately with this tv.

Very Happy!,

Having spent the last 10 years watching a 26" Sony WEGA CRT, I was looking forward to an HD set and definitely larger screen. I purchased a Samsung 19" LCD a few years ago and have been very happy with its performance, the remote, etc. I'd been looking at the Samsung LN46B 500- and 600-series. I was prepared to pull the trigger on the LN46B530 when the "C" series came out and was priced fairly competitively.

I went with the LN46C630 along with the Sony HTCT100 sound bar since I'd read some of the concerns with sound quality. I have the say both the TV and sound bar are awesome. The only issue I've had is with interference with iR remotes and the power saving stuff on the TV. Unless I have the TV's brightness set to normal and the energy conservation stuff off, my remotes barely function and when they do, often send the wrong signal. Apparently a known issue with LCD televisions so it's not a fault with Samsung or this TV.

Overall a great TV and VERY happy with the matte screen. Not sure why Samsung's website doesn't explicitely state which are glossy and which are matte.
