Why This LCD?
Why does this HDTV deserve a spot in your home? Of the different Samsung models… 530, 550, 630, 650, it is the 630 that gives you the best deal.
Refresh Rates.
The 5-series is cheaper, but offers refresh times only to 60Hz, compared 120Hz with the 630. It makes a difference! 120Hz produces at least twice as many frames-per-second! Movies and sports are fluid and more realistic.
Response Time.
The 5-series is a 6ms response time, while the 6-series is 4ms. For a gamer, the 2ms difference is significant.
Contrast Ratio.
Why the 630 over the 650? The difference is contrast ratio. The 630 is 80,000:1 contrast ratio. That produces an extraordinary display depth. At about 70,000 – 100,000 range, it’s hard too see them improving much beyond this (much higher for LEDs).
Sure the 650′s contrast ratio is higher, but the increased cost is not worth it for the picture it produces.
Stand.
The stand requires assembly. It is not difficult, fortunately! It only took 9 screws (already in the box). Try to get a power-screwdriver. Directions suggested 2 people, but it was done solo for my setup!
What Is The Verdict?
If price is no issue, just get a LED HDTV. If you want to get the best deal, this Samsung LN40C630 HDTV is the way to go.
