Our Daily Deal: Samsung LN46A650 HDTV for $1,299
Every day, the folks over at TechDealDigger are letting us know about some of the best gadget deals they can find, so we're going to pass that information on to you. After all, in these tough economic times, every little bit counts. We may not be buying Swarovski-covered iPods any time soon, but everyone needs essentials like a computer. So, take a look at what the online deals site sent us today.
There aren't a whole lot of up-sides to this recession we find ourselves mired in, but we here at Switched are always looking for that silver lining, and, in this case, it's fast-falling TV prices. For those of us yet to hop on the HDTV bandwagon, there may not be a better time to buy. Case in point, the Samsung LN46A650, a 46-inch, full HD (1080p) LCD TV for only $1,299 plus free shipping from Fry's. The same TV will set you back more than $1,500 at Amazon.
Even better, this isn't some bargain basement TV -- it has a fast 4ms response time and 120hz refresh rate that make it perfect for watching fast-moving video (like sports) and for playing video games. It also has a feature called Infolink, which lets you get stock prices, weather, and news when hooked up to the Internet. Its Ethernet port is just one of the many, many connections this TV has; you get four HDMI ports, two component inputs, a PC input, and a USB port for hooking up external harddrives and thumbdrives loaded with your JPEGs, MPEGs, and MP3s.

Oh. Wow. I have had this TV for six months now. I originally purchased a Samsung 52-inch A550, but it was too big and it stuttered playing Blu-ray movies due to the 60hz refresh rate. So I traded it for the A650.
Every time I turn it on, its like being transported to another reality. Seriously, the color depth, the clarity, the contrast -- everything on this TV is pretty much, well, perfect. It is loaded with features, including this auto-smoothing effect that makes standard 24- or 30-fps content feel like its playing at 120fps, and it causes a really eerie, all-too-lifelike effect, like the TV isn't a TV, its a Window, and all the action is literally taking place in front of your face. I leave this feature turned off, its just too intense for me.
I've never had a technical problem with the TV. Its super easy to operate, the menus are friendly, and the "Red Touch of Color" -- which at first I worried would bother me -- adds just the subtlest hint of elegance. You barely notice it unless there's light from behind, and then its actually kind of cool looking.
I can't say enough good about this product, but I don't want to talk your ear off -- I will just say this: If you are thinking about purchasing ANY HDTV in this price- and/or size-range, you'd be doing yourself a favor to take a good hard look at the Samsung 46-inch A650.I buy from http://www.samsunghdtv1080p.com
