Official Samsung LNXXC630/C650 Owners Thread - Page 2

Hi Vince,

Did you purchase this tv from amazon? A couple other members received the 46inch and theres was the SQ01 Panel and they bought from Amazon. I bought one from there yesterday as well and hoping that either the 46 inch is only coming in the SQ01 Panel or that Amazon has a batch of them and I'll be receiving one too

Not Vince, but I bought the C630 at Best Buy yesterday and it also had the SQ01 panel. Sounds like most have that panel.

Since Fry's Electronics sells the LN40C630 for US$809 (the same price as the Sony KDL-40EX500), I almost have to flip a coin on which TV I should get. Help....

Hopefully someone will fulfill your request (I need to wait a week before buying mine, otherwise I'd be happy to help), but I don't know how informative that picture would be. Would probably say more about the camera (its light sensitivity, etc) than anything about the TV.

could anyone please measure input lag on c630? I planned to get c650 but I find it ugly while c630 looks really awesome with its slim bezel and no ugly chin/tit.
I'm also interested in 120hz gaming since it'd be hard for me to play in game mode again - I was used to 40Z4500 that had very little lag in 240hz with all image enhancers on but I can't afford another one.
If it's also possible with this tv without incredibly high input lag then it'd make me buy this tv. Can anyone be so nice and test lag in that mode?

purchase at local frys electronics , all of them have SQ01 stickers on it. I'm don't play games, my 8yrs old son does xbox360, how do i measure input lag for you guys? i have no clue?

Hi. Could somebody tell me please, what screen refresh rate have c650 and c630 models on 1080 when you connect TV to your PC? It is still 60 hz? Are they compatible with nvidia 3d vision? Thanks!

Hi cromacl,

I asked this question in the other thread and I received an answer stating if you are hooking your pc up to the tv via hdmi it will accept the 120Hz source so it would be compatible with the nvidia 3d vision but I don't have the TV just yet and I don't have the nvidia glasses to try...

Happy to hear everyone getting the 46 inch c630 is getting the SQ01 panels, that bodes well for me when mine comes in and gives me some more peace of mind buying this tv online

Good timing on starting this thread. I picked up a LN55C630 last night to replace my 5 year old Samsung DLP.

It seems to me that the most important question has yet to be answered: Is the PQ on the c650 definitively better than the c630?

I'm trying to decide between the C630 and C650 also! looks wise the 630 wins hands down. For some reason the samsung website does not have the specs for the 630 up yet. Does it have the Ultra clear panel? Also is the screen Matte finish or glossy?

Looking for opinions from people who have more knowledge - Thanks!

the C630, like all other x630 models, does not have a the UCP. if you want the UPC, and the slightly higher contrast that it brings, you'll want to get the C650. you'll also have more reflection off the screen with the 650, so beware if you're putting it in a well-lit room.

LNB750 series cnet PQ settings as base reference a good start tweaking for optimal settings?

I got a good look at a local sears of a 46" C630 and C650 that were right next to each other. Spent about a half hour trying to decide which I wanted to go with. Posted my thoughts about it in the Samung 2010 LCD line up thread but its more relevant here so ill copy it over. Remember, I'm no expert, just calling it as I see it.

Yesterday was an interesting day for me.

I boxed up my LN40B610 and trekked it down to Sam's Club to make a run at returning it. For those who didnt know, prior to 11/01/2009 Sam's Club had a 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed Return Policy. You could return anything at anytime if you werent satisfied. Obviously, that doesnt make sense for electronics such as TVs, but Sams was way late on the draw in making a different policy for TVs like Costco. Anyway, with relatively little trouble, I was able to return my LN40B610 for a full refund since I still had the receipt. The TV had worked for me so far, but with the drop in prices of the new Samsung LCD line, I could get a bigger TV with more features I wanted (such as PIP which the B610 did not have ) and actually SAVE money.

Anyway, I was all set to order the TV from Amazon when I got home, but there was an HHGregg in the same shopping center as the Sams Club, so I figured I would go take a look at the C630 again. As I browsed the TV selection, a salesman was all over me like usual trying to sell me on stuff. I was polite and entertained his pitches. I mentioned that I know they wont price match online retailers and that it can be tough for them to compete with those prices. To my surprise, he says he would price match an online dealer provided it wasnt an obscure dealer. I asked if he could price match Amazon. He pulls out his smartphone, goes on amazon's website to check their price, talks to his manager, and offers me the TV for the same price as Amazon OUT THE DOOR! (including tax). I was pretty ecstatic since now I dont have to wait and I dont have to worry about it shipping and everything. He mentions I will have to drive to another local store to pick it up since they only have the floor model. Its not far so I have no problem with that.

After checking out a couple TV stands to accommodate my bigger TV (I had been using some cheap plastic-type stand for my 40"), I was walking out the store when the manager and the salesman stopped me. Apparently, the other store said there were 'Sold' tags on their remaining 3 46" C630s in stock. The manager said that was a load of bull and they just wanted to hold onto their inventory but there was nothing they could do. I would have to wait about a week to get my new TV. I was disappointed but I told the manager I needed a new TV stand and he offered the one I was looking at for $100 off for the inconvenience of having to wait. As you can imagine, I was pretty much blown away and accepted the deal.

So now I have a TV stand with no TV for a week haha. Still I was impressed by HHGregg's salesman and customer service. I went into there planning on buying nothing and bought 2 things. But I got them at the price I wanted anyway so it works out. Very impressed with HHGregg!

I will post my impressions of the LN46C630 and hopefully some pictures when I get it later this week. I'm still wondering why Samsung hasnt put up the C630 model on their website yet, but thats a different story.

I am with you.

The one I saw I could have sworn the clear plastic was only on the bottom, but these photos make it look like the whole set is wrapped in that clear plastic. It also looked like it could come off at Best Buy, but the guy working there said it wouldn't.

Can anyone who has the c630 confirm this? I plan to visit Best Buy tomorrow to check it out myself!

Just got my LN46C630 hooked up. I'm very happy with it so far. Currently watching Wild China in HD on Netflix Instant and it is stunning.

Thanks! With BigRiver having a good price on the LED6300, I've to decide between the 630/650 or spending a couple of hundred more for the 6300. Will go to the Michigan Ave BestBuy today and check all 3 out.

How's the 120hz processor on this TV for gaming? Does it create any artifacts or halo/aura effects? I just returned my LG 42LH40 because the 120hz was HORRIBLE on it. Even on the low setting it created all kinds of artifacts and halo/aura effects while playing games. If anyone here has a LNxxC630/650 and a PS3 or Xbox 360 could you test out the 120hz and see how good it is? I'm about to pull the trigger on the LN46C630 but I want to know how good the 120hz is for gaming first.

I'll let you know when I take delivery. Where is this vertical column you are noticing....middle, one of the sides?

Big River just sent me an email letting me know my 46C650 got handed of to CEVA. Expected delivery is monday at this point, can't wait to get it.

Please come back and post your impressions of this set when you get it. There doesnt seem to be too many impressions of the C650 (PQ, features, panel type, etc.) and none in a home setting thus far, and it would help out those who are trying to compare the two.

Dont have the 40" myself but the two 40" C630 sets I saw at Sears had AA01 panels. The 46" sets there had SQ01. Samsung had plenty of 40" S panels last year so I wouldnt say that all 40" are going to be A panels quite yet. It is possible they changed their sourcing for the 40" sets. Time will tell.

Personally, I didnt see any issues with the A panels I saw at Sears from a uniformity and off angle standpoint. Having a A or C panel may increase your risk of a quality control issue, but I'm not convinced every A or C panel is bad and that every S panel is good. I think its more of a manufacturing QC problem than a panel design flaw.

You bring up the most important point of this whole panel debate. If you are happy with the panel you have, who cares if it is a C or A panel? Too many people are scared when they receive a C or A panel without viewing it. If it looks fine, it probably is.

If you notice a difference and it bothers you, try to see if you can get samsung or the place you bought it from to exchange it for you. More than likely, your next one will be fine. Its all QC percentages IMO.

Sounds like the problem is very limited and subtle. I believe you said its your wife's TV and you said she wouldnt notice or care so you are probably good unless you lose sleep over it.

Loved the 52b750, but returned it because I wished it was bigger. Now looking @ 60c630 or 60c6300. Saw the 55c630 next to 52b750, un55b700 & un55b8000. I was impressed with the 630. It is a glossy screen. The 40 & 46" c630 I saw at sears were semi-matte. The 55c630 looked comparable the the 52b750. Looks like Samsung did a one up from last years model and it got some of the b750 quality besides the 240hz. I'm still not impressed with the edge lit models of the b7000 & b8000. I was only looking @ the c6300 because it had the glossy screen, but if the 60c630 is like the 55, i'm sold. Worried about where Samsung will get the 60" panel. I'll still look at the c6300, maybe samsung improved the edge lit for 2010, but comparing the b7000 & b8000 to the lcd, I wasn't impressed with the whites, colors, and off angle issues.
