Samsung LN52B630 Made the right choice.

I have been researching new TV's for far too long and realized I can wait and wait and they will only get better and cheaper. I decided it was finally time to pull the trigger though. Initially I was leaning more towards the Toshiba 670 LED or the Samsung B650 because I wasn't completely sold on the matte screen even though my girlfriend insisted. The edge lit LED technology by Samsung seems to have its problems and I couldn't justify the cost. The Toshiba unfortunately I was somewhat disappointed by the reviews so decided that was out. I honestly was trying everything I could to steer my girlfriend away from the matte screen and explain how the contrast ratio was lower. My fear was that it would dull out the picture as I have seen on my girlfriends parents Phillips LCD. Don't get me wrong the picture is nice and sharp but everything looks dull. So I finally decided that I will not go another football season on my old TV and was only getting it if I compromised with the GF so went ahead and ordered the LN52B630 from Amazon. Shipping was great. The delivery was on time and they placed the TV on the stand and powered the TV up. Any fears I might have had about the dullness of the picture went out the window (dynamic mode is actually too bright for me). HD just looks plain amazing right out of the box on this TV and I couldn't be happier. There are only 2 issues I could possibly mention in this review. 1st off I am honestly not impressed by the sound but it is adequate and most of the time I have it playing through my surround sound. 2nd is that the 120hz Automotion Plus needs (in my opinion) to be turned off if not watching sports otherwise you get this strange "soap opera" effect when watching your normal tv shows. Overall this is an excellent TV and I am so glad I opted for the matte screen.
