In Reply to: RE: Samsung LN52A650 verses Sony KDL-46XBR2 posted by TGT on April 06, 2009 at 15:56:04

I also bought a Samsung, the LN46A650 (the biggest I could fit). As well as above, I have found the TV to do a nice job with standard TV signals when I must watch them. Sure the detail is missing, but there are no artifacts or jaggies, it does a great job.

I did have a problem with sparkle when watching Blu Rays. I played with the TV menus and found a couple options on one, digital noise reduction or something like that. It was turned off, turned it on, no sparkles!

You are right about the clear panel of the Samsungs, they look great but do reflect a bit more than the dull ones, but the dull ones are, well, dull.

An acquaintance of mine who has a Sharp Aquos noted my Samsung has a better picture.

This TV should hold me over until the new 480 frame rate LED's come out and become cheap.

We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along

You are losing detail, especially with Blu-ray.
If you are seeing sparkles from your BD player only, get a better HDMI cable.

  My HDMI cables are short, 2 meter, 1.3b certified and of good quality. They are those "flat" ones where all the conductors are in a single row. They cost about 20 bucks each, but looked so good I got them, assuming they were overkill.
  
  My blu ray player is connected to the HK receiver by an HDMI cable and another HDMI cable connects the HK to the TV.
  
  Sounds like I need to further investigate this.

  Really, HDMI cables can make a difference?

    Yes, but you don't have to spend a fortune. Most people find the $10 cable from Monoprice to suffice-its usually better than the feebies you get. Sparkles is the classic sign of bad HDMI cables.
    Its a bigger issue for long runs.
    My personal experience is that they make a difference, giving a somewhat better picture. I prefer Bettercables.com's Silver Serpents, but that's just me.
