Not everyone has the room in their home to put the biggest HD TV avaiable in there and still have room to sit down! Althouugh I know some people who would rather stand and have the bigest set possible;) but for the sane amonst us there are some gret lage, but not huge, HD TV's out there and the Saamsung 40A650 is one of them.
At 40 Icnhes this set is actually slightly heavier and thciker than some of the neer models in the range but it still holds its head up amongst all the competinng LCD televisions in its claass.
Just because it is smaller in size than some of its counterparts odesn't mean it skimps out on the extars that you expect. Everything you wolud need on a larger set is present and it doesn't disappoit.
The Samsung 40A650 has a brilliant picture quality and the tones and contrast are as good in the darkest scenes as they are in the quicker, or lighter, scenes. There is no visible pixealtion on the screen and didn't stop enjoment at any time.
When it comes to sound when watching a movie I like to feel like I am in the tjhick of it. The sound on the set is also good, but if you are looking for a really big sound for your home cinema you may want to get an add on such as a Home Surround Sound System.
Don't get me wrong, the sound is fine straight out of the box but if you like it cinema quailty you will need a little help.
