Pros :

Excellent price
Great performance
Brilliant color reproduction
Good connectivity options

Cons:

The TV is so good that on the tv stations with weak signals, you can see the weakness of the signal. On some you could see the lines and imperfections, due to having a weak signal. That is only a with a few channels. It’s a negative, but that’s what you get when the picture is very detailed; You will not only get the good qualities, but the bad also, if the signal is not strong. Regardless, that issue will be moot next year when the tv stations will be required to broadcast by digital signal.

Another issue is, that when you turn it on it takes about 3-4 seconds to pick up my digital cable signal from my DVR box. In addition when you switch between sources it takes around the same amount of time to pick up the signal. I’m impatient, which is a negative quality of mine. In our household, it seems like it is an issue only with me, since it does not bother my fiancee at all or any of our friends. Maybe it would not be a con if I was not so stupidly impatient.

Those are really the only two issues I have with the TV and to me they are very minor ones.

Final Thoughts

The Samsung LN46A650 is an excellent rear projection HDTV supporting Full HD resolution. It offers an excellent feature set and amazing performance at an affordable price. The big screen size offers great cinematic experience. There is hardly anything wrong with this set and hence makes it a great buy.
