Critical review, 2008-08-29
Welcome to my critical review of the Samsung A650.
After reading all the positive reviews about this TV, and reading about the other Samsung model (A750) I decided the A650 would be my new living room set. The A750 had some bad reviews about the glare on edges of the screen border. The A650 did not!
This was my first big ticket item I bought from Amazon. The delivery went well. I called CEVA and setup a time with them to bring it out. Two guys from CEVA carried the set in, unpacked it and pluged it in. They were in a hurry but gave me a chance to check it out before I signed off the delivery release.
Overall I'm very pleased with this set but I wanted to post the negitives I've had with it. This is nit picking somewhat but I feel others can gain something from this - read below.
Problems encountered: - The firmware needs some work. I did NOT have the problem of the set turing off as some owners did, but I decided to update the firmware anyway. The latest is always best, right? Wrong! After downloading firmware from Samsung, copying to my USB drive and plugging it into the TV the upgrade began. Easy enough. I was watching digital over the air TV as I had not yet got my Sat receiver yet. When watching over the air the TV would suddenly make a LOUD full volume screaming sound out the speekers, then turn off, then back on for about 30 seconds, and crash again, turn off, turn on, crash... You get the idea. Oh great I thought!! Just killed my new tv! I could not back out of the upgrade because Samsung does not post older versions of the firmware. I had to search the internet to find it. When I downgraded the firmware version the problem went away. Pretty scary thinking I killed a $2200 TV set! Samsung needs to get their act together on this. Now that I have my Sat TV receiver hooked up via HDMI I'm able to use the latest firmware without problems. If I were to guess, the firmware has an issue if the over the air TV signal is weak - causing the TV to crash. (note to techies - the TV runs a custom version of Linux!!)
Other negitives:
* When switching inputs from one HDMI source to another, the set will not switch until about 4 seconds have gone by and it has 'locked' on the signal AND you've pressed enter. A little annoying. Could be fixed in software - (Hint hint Samsung!)
* The remote is just OK, could be better for a set like this.
* When watching the TV and the program suddenly goes from white to black for more then a few seconds, you will see the screen fade from a light white color to black. Its almost like the LCD screen is un-charging. I'm being very critial here and its not that noticeable.
So.... Would I tell my friends to buy this TV. YES! Its well worth the money! I read in the paper that Samsung is losing money for each set sold because they are trying to compete with the bargin brands. Bad for Samsung, good for us customers! Plus Amazon was $400+ cheaper then the retail big box stores in town. Hats off to Amazon and Samsung!
