I just received this TV today. So far so good. I was seriously confused between 46b650 and 46b630 and I am very happy that I got 630. Since my room has good ambient light, I was looking for anti glare screen and 630 is a perfect fit. 650 is too glossy for my setting, it is very good for dark room setting but otherwise glare could be very annoying. Yes, 630 has 80000:1 vs 100000:1 for 650 and I did notice the slight difference in contrast. I am yet to tweak picture settings. I got this from Vanns for $1530, got it in 5 days with free shipping and free wall mount.

After having spent several months researching, considering options, & agonizing over choices, I am completely happy with this TV – can actually say, `I love it!’ Therefore, for the first time ever, I’m providing a customer review:

Picture quality:

SD very good & much better than expected; HD quality terrific.

Better than what I expected based on the display loops they run at Best Buy. Motion flow produces very smooth picture.

DVD quality:

Terrific; better than expected. (Don’t have Blu-ray)

Matte screen:

My room is very bright. Samsung’s ultra-clear panel on the 650 model is as shiny & reflective as glass – like looking in a mirror. The 630’s matte screen is perfect for my needs, yet I’m still getting a very clear picture with great contrast ratio. I only knew this model existed by reading customer comments at Amazon, as Samsung doesn’t appear to promote this model.

Settings:

TV has lots of options for picture & sound settings. Easy to adjust, test, play around with.

Connection to Cable Box/DVR:

To be able to use my cable DVR remote with the TV, I had to call the cable company to get the volume control to work – just needed a special code.

Sound:

OK; better than expected.

Set aesthetics:

Attractive. Originally nervous about the red Touch of Color – but it is very subtle; looks more brown/burgundy. Does NOT look like the bright red stripe that is pictured in Amazon’s product info.

Amazon `Enhanced Delivery’:

Very good. Delivery by CEVA was on-time. Team of two guys took their shoes off at the door without being asked, unpacked the TV, mounted it on the stand, placed it on my TV console, & hooked up connections to cable.

Warranty:

Set comes with standard one-year warranty from Samsung. But, for peace of mind, I added an additional two-year warranty (for a total of 3-yrs coverage) offered by Square Trade for Amazon customers for just an extra $99. This Amazon/SquareTrade package is a much better extended warranty deal than I could have gotten from other retail or online sellers.

I decided to buy this TV after doing about 3 months of research. Initially I was ready to buy LED TV(which was additional $1000), but settled on this. The TV came in 2 DAYS!!! with the Free shipping.. I’ve been using this TV for the past 4 days, so far I love it. picture is probably the best on this tv. I have fios, which is great on this TV. I have this in my living room which has a lot of windows, it works great there. The audio i was a bit disappointing, but who cares, I’ll be plugging this into my receiver. For this price you cannot beat it..far better than SONY (non led), and SHARP.

Pros:

-Great picture,

-Great contrast, color,

-HDMI connections.

-Ethernet plug in for the Info Link and updating Firmware

-USB HDD/Flash plug in for playing photos, movies (havent tried this yet)

-Great Remote

-User Interface is great

-Lighter (40 lbs)

-One man installation

Cons:

-Speakers are sub par, you def need to hook up to home theater.

I purchased the LN46B630 through Amazon’s Warehouse Deals as an open box item. The item description was “Minor cosmetic damage to housing.” So when I received the item I went over the set with great detail. It appeared as though someone purchased it, received it, opened the manual, and decided to return it. There was NO damage whatsoever to the housing. After researching extensively I found a calibration setting that many were praising for the 650 series and decided to apply it to the 630. Needless to say I was astounded. Every component I had up until this purchase was begging for high definition, so I was forced to oblige. Taking the 20,000:1 cut from the 650 was easy to deal with after seeing the complete lack of glare that the matte screen offers. As referenced by a previous reviewer, the frame indicates the glare that would have been with the gloss screen of the 650. I have a PS3 connected via HDMI and the first thing I did was put in Dark Knight on Blu-Ray. I was blown away by the performance. No regrets whatsoever with this decision. I would recommend the 630 to anyone slightly worried about glare issues. I’m happy to answer any questions anyone may have.
