Flashlights

Just turn on the Samsung LN46A650 and you’ll see that it’s a joy to have and use. After you turn it on, a wizard will ask you to set a language and identify whether you’re in a store or at home. Then it scans for available channels, finds them, and, here you are, you can watch it.

A big and easy-to-find Menu button stands out on a long remote control. After you press it, you can see a good-looking list of menu options which won’t annoy you and obscure the picture. There is another, shorter menu for additional settings and you can activate it with a Tools button. The Source button on the remote is used to list and check all the HDTV’s inputs (with active ones highlighted and at the top).

But nothing is perfect and Samsung LN46A650 is not an exception. One of the annoyances is a necessity to find and turn off the Entertainment setting at the setup menu before you can change the sound mode. Then the remote lacks a PIP button to instantly turn viewing two channels at once, though the LN46A650 model has such a function. And that’s all the flaws in the programmable remote control. It has buttons for turning on closed captioning and setting picture mode and aspect ratio. Unlike other remote controls it has a jog wheel (like in iPod) instead of a standard circle of arrow buttons.

Samsung LN46A650 has a lot of features. You can connect any USB storage device to the TV through the side-mounted USB port. At the rear panel you can find an Ethernet port for connecting to Samsung’s InfoLink RSS service and getting the news and other information from USA Today from it.

Samsung LN46A650 is definitely worth its money. Its awesome design and outstanding usability make it the right thing for those customers who pay attention to both form and function.
