Samsung LN52A850 52” 120Hz, 1080P LCD TV: The Living Review

**MIG-31** · Nov 28, 2008, 02:32 AM

Raise your hand if you still have an older tube-style T.V. I am sure that quite a few of our readers have not yet subscribed to the HD phenomenon which has seen LCD, Plasma and DLP TVs make their way in countless households across the country. Unfortunately for consumers, HDTVs are like everything else in life: they come in varying degrees of quality and are priced accordingly. Prices range from just a few hundred dollars to literally tens of thousands for those well-healed consumers out there and naturally, you get what you pay for the majority of the time. Sure there are exceptions to this rule since there are a few diamonds in the rough but keeping the old adage “you get what you pay for” in your head when HDTV shopping is usually a good idea.

the 650/750/850 models are pretty much all identical....

after playing with the 650/750's.... there suttle difference wasn't anything substatial or anything that probably over 99% of the owners would even use.

And now with the 850 model that i've got to touch and feel as well, it's just another small change over the 750.....

actually i'm really confused why the hell samsung did this, they should have called them the 650/670/680

now the 950 series..... THAT'S a change.
