 Terrific TV, price, delivery! July 2, 2009

After having spent several months researching, considering options, & agonizing over choices, I am completely happy with this TV - can actually say, `I love it!' Therefore, for the first time ever, I'm providing a customer review:
Picture quality:
SD very good & much better than expected; HD quality terrific.
Better than what I expected based on the display loops they run at Best Buy. Motion flow produces very smooth picture.
DVD quality:
Terrific; better than expected. (Don't have Blu-ray)
Matte screen:
My room is very bright. Samsung's ultra-clear panel on the 650 model is as shiny & reflective as glass - like looking in a mirror. The 630's matte screen is perfect for my needs, yet I'm still getting a very clear picture with great contrast ratio. I only knew this model existed by reading customer comments at Amazon, as Samsung doesn't appear to promote this model.
Settings:
TV has lots of options for picture & sound settings. Easy to adjust, test, play around with.
Connection to Cable Box/DVR:
To be able to use my cable DVR remote with the TV, I had to call the cable company to get the volume control to work - just needed a special code.
Sound:
OK; better than expected.
Set aesthetics:
Attractive. Originally nervous about the red Touch of Color - but it is very subtle; looks more brown/burgundy. Does NOT look like the bright red stripe that is pictured in Amazon's product info.
Amazon `Enhanced Delivery':
Very good. Delivery by CEVA was on-time. Team of two guys took their shoes off at the door without being asked, unpacked the TV, mounted it on the stand, placed it on my TV console, & hooked up connections to cable.
Warranty:
Set comes with standard one-year warranty from Samsung. But, for peace of mind, I added an additional two-year warranty (for a total of 3-yrs coverage) offered by Square Trade for Amazon customers for just an extra $99. This Amazon/SquareTrade package is a much better extended warranty deal than I could have gotten from other retail or online sellers.
The best non LED LCD out there June 22, 2009

I decided to buy this TV after doing about 3 months of research. Initially I was ready to buy LED TV(which was additional $1000), but settled on this. The TV came in 2 DAYS!!! with the Free shipping.. I've been using this TV for the past 4 days, so far I love it. picture is probably the best on this tv. I have fios, which is great on this TV. I have this in my living room which has a lot of windows, it works great there. The audio i was a bit disappointing, but who cares, I'll be plugging this into my receiver. For this price you cannot beat it..far better than SONY (non led), and SHARP.
Pros:
-Great picture,
-Great contrast, color,
-HDMI connections.
-Ethernet plug in for the Info Link and updating Firmware
-USB HDD/Flash plug in for playing photos, movies (havent tried this yet)
-Great Remote
-User Interface is great
-Lighter (40 lbs)
-One man installation
Cons:
-Speakers are sub par, you def need to hook up to home theater.
Amazing tv for an excellent price September 10, 2009

Well, so far - so good.
Just received the TV this afternoon, and setup was a snap. HDMI inputs are plentiful (three on the back, one on the side), and fortunately there are also inputs for Composite (two, both on the back), and an old-style RCA video input (also on the side). The set also allows for connections of USB, PC-out, digital audio optical input. You can also hook the set up to your LAN with a standard Ethernet connector (sorry kids, no WiFi yet).
**EDIT: Ok, let me clarify something here. The set WILL support WiFi with the appropriate USB adapter (direct link:Samsung WIS09ABGN LinkStick Wireless LAN Adapter), but since it's not included with the set as-is, hence the above comment about WiFi. END EDIT**
The stand assembly was simple (8 screws and done). The stand also rotates slightly (20 degrees left/right off center), which while not uncommon, is a plus. Also worth mentioning, the stand also incorporates Samsung's "Touch of Color" so the front bezel has a light red stripe, co conform with the same stripe on the bezel of the TV. I'm honestly not sure what the point of the "Touch of Color" is, but if nothing else, it makes the TV easier to find in the dark (sarcasm is like a second language to me, by the way). I mention the stand only because I originally planned to put the set on a console-style table, until I found my old wall-mount (see below for more on that).
Speaking of finding things in the dark however, I must also mention that the remote for the TV, while not appearing to be able to be able to control other devices (standard fast-forward, pause, etc... style buttons at the bottom of the remote are used to control slideshows, etc) all of the buttons are back-lit, with a highlighted "on/off" button. This IS a thoughtful idea, and one that I wish many more TV designers will implement.
Thus far the set has performed admirably, HDMI output from my cable provider is clear and sharp. A few simple adjustments to adjust the set for my specific room (and my particular taste) conditions, and everything is gorgeous. I also have tried out an older (non-upconverting) DVD player via Component inputs as well, and "Fringe" looks damn-near perfect.
Sound however is another matter. There's really only SO much you can do with two speakers, and Samsung has done a VERY good job with adjustments and whatnot, but let's face it - if you're buying a 46-inch TV, you probably already have a MUCH better stereo ready to roll. If not - well, this would be the ONLY caveat emptor I would point out (and it's STILL not a big enough deal to make me reduce my 5-star rating either, so there).
Ok, one note worth mentioning here, as I had to play "find the correct-sized bolt" to use my old wall-mount: The bolts you will need are standard 8-mm x 25-mm sizes that will easily screw into the back of the set.
One more item - make all your back-side connections before you hang the set. This may sounds like a "DUH" suggestion, but trust me from experience, you tend to get excited and forget to think EVERYTHING through when setting something like this up for the first time.
I must also commend the delivery company (CEVA) as they were courteous, friendly and helpful. They didn't offer to set the set up, but they did carry the set through the house, and placed it (VERY carefully) in the room in which it was to be set up in.
For the money, I really have to say this is one of the most impressive TV sets I've bought. Excellent image quality, decent (for a TV) sound, and extraordinarily intuitive and simple setup process.
If I have any further insights as I move through my ownership journey, I'll be sure to add them here.
Thanks for reading.
Much better than I ever expected. July 27, 2009

I purchased the LN46B630 through Amazon's Warehouse Deals as an open box item. The item description was "Minor cosmetic damage to housing." So when I received the item I went over the set with great detail. It appeared as though someone purchased it, received it, opened the manual, and decided to return it. There was NO damage whatsoever to the housing. After researching extensively I found a calibration setting that many were praising for the 650 series and decided to apply it to the 630. Needless to say I was astounded. Every component I had up until this purchase was begging for high definition, so I was forced to oblige. Taking the 20,000:1 cut from the 650 was easy to deal with after seeing the complete lack of glare that the matte screen offers. As referenced by a previous reviewer, the frame indicates the glare that would have been with the gloss screen of the 650. I have a PS3 connected via HDMI and the first thing I did was put in Dark Knight on Blu-Ray. I was blown away by the performance. No regrets whatsoever with this decision. I would recommend the 630 to anyone slightly worried about glare issues. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone may have.
Mind-Blowing Picture November 4, 2009

Out-of-this-world Picture... Amazing.
It's that simple. I am a tech junkie, and have installed numerous TV's in the past for others. I was ready to upgrade my plasma, as it seemed to be getting long in the tooth. I went to several places, watched the TV's and then starting narrowing them down. I finally edged it to the Sony Bravia, Toshiba Regza, and this model. I kept coming back to the Samsung. Not only is it aesthetically more pleasing just sitting there (which is a plus for the wives) the picture was stunning. Samsung higher-end LCD's have a vivid 3D quality to them not found in other LCD panels. I can't explain it, I just know I, and everyone else looking at them, saw it and was convinced it was the best LCD for the money. Almost, almost, as good as the LED panels.
I brought it home, hooked up the Blu-Ray, popped in Ratatouille and WOW. Even my wife, who could care less, could see the difference. My seven year old was blown away too! It brought the movie to life. I then popped in U-571 to see some natural action and again I was overwhelmed with the picture. It looked like you were live, right there. Then my son wanted to test out the XBOX 360 with Madden 2010. WOW, AGAIN! We couldn't believe how good the game looked.
Well, after he went to bed I flipped on CBS HD to watch The Good Wife. A simple one-hour drama in HD, but WOW again, it looked almost as good, and life-like, as the blu-ray of U-571. I flipped to other channels in HD and I couldn't believe how great it looked over my plasma and I know over many of the other TV's in the store that I was comparing it too.
I am convinced I bought the right TV, and the bonus is it looks good too. It has a glass stand, elegant look with the slight rose color, and swivels on it's base, which most other TV's did not. All in all, this is a TV worth considering if you are around the $1100-$1300 mark, and I would really look at this before I dropped another $1,000 on LED. I don't believe you will regret your decision. Pop your first Blu-Ray in, and you will destroy the box, never to take the TV out of your house and back to the store.
