Samsung LN52A630 52-Inch LCD HDTV Review

Poking around at a few different stores, you should be able to find the Samsung LN52A630 52-inch 1080 HDTV for around $2,000. This is absolutely remarkable considering that most 40 inch LCD HDTVs were easily over the $4000 range just over two years ago. The 120Hz refresh rate helps with motion blur for the HDMI connection, but you’ll still suffer some blur with pretty well every other connection option. Incentive to move to higher quality sources perhaps.

Despite the grievances on low quality source material blur, the 40,000:1 contrast ratio is absolutely remarkable and you’ll love the vibrance of the colors being displayed. The “Touch of Color” styling is also a nice touch (no pun intended), but the redness is not nearly as noticeable as on some other Samsung LCD monitors. A finishing touch feature that we experienced with the Samsung T220 Monitor a little while back.

If you’re in the market for a large LCD HDTV and want good quality for a decent price, the 52-inch version of the Samsung Series 6 630 LCD just might be for you. The main thing that bugs me is the motion blur, particularly with the Nintendo Wii via a component connection. Considering how many Nintendo Wii’s are in homes, and how important the lack of motion blur is to video games, I hope that Samsung does consider trickling the tech down to this input. Aside from that, I’m quite pleased with what I’ve experienced.
