Samsung LA52A650 LCD television
Deep red full HD LCD TV
Pros
- Great contrast, excellent motion rendering, accurate colours, well-implemented 100Hz mode
Cons
- Some noise in the image, a little oversharpening on text, glossy finish
Bottom Line
While the image can be a little noisy at times, the incredible blacks and great contrast ratio, along with the speedy refresh rate, make the Samsung LA52A650 one of the better full HD LCDs on the market.

The days of boxy, black, uninspiring TVs appear to be behind us. With manufacturers realising that a flat panel TV is also a fashion statement, all the latest units come with their fair share of coloured bezels, glass frames and chrome mags with bonus spoilers. Samsung’s latest top-of-the-line panel, the LA52A650, joins the party with the typically stylish Samsung shape and a very funky deep red colour scheme.
We reviewed the Samsung LA40A650.
