We purchased the LN52B630 as it is the highest model with a matte screen - it has outstanding picture quality, even better than any of last year's "A" models.
The matte screen makes a HUGE difference in areas with lots of windows or other light sources. Our previous TV had a relflective screen guard, and the change is SO nice.
The speakers are adequate for daily TV viewing, but use an external sound system for movies and music if you can.
Very easy to set up and use! Great remote control.
It does have touch controls in the center of the lower bezel for basic operation , but the are very hard to see - they do not light up or anything, at least on my set. The On/Off control is easy to find if you forget where the remote is or it walks off after watching for a while :)
The user manual comes on a USB stick or you can download it from Samsung (ahead of your purchase if you want to). There might be a couple of pages you would want to print out from your PC - you don't need the whole thing. And there is onscreen help for the different setup selections, so we rarely need the manual.
We would have liked DLNA capabilty (not available with matte screen) to stream our family music/ photos/ videos to the set, but with the USB port we just hooked up an external hard drive to get access to all of this. Might be less hassle in the long run??
It does have an ethernet connection though - I hope Samsung adds more web capability or even some DLNA features in future firmware releases.
(The prices on these change almost weekly - watch the Samsung blogs on Amazon for specials, or use a price watching service on the web like dealnews)
