How to got to service menu for Samsung LCD.....
how to verify that the LCD we purchased is brand new not a display unit....???

ronaldjoe, if you don't care, can you please share with us where you got your unit. 6.3k with 5 years warranty is really really good price.

TV off
On the remote control, [info], [menu], [mute], [power]...
Then the rest is on you, as different model has different GUI.

I got mine fr Best Denki.
If not for the warranty, I would have gotten it from Chinaman shop which is much cheaper.

It's hiding inside the menu... It's only 58 hours.

I do not want to encourage people to go into the service menu. If u do change something by accident and it causes problems it is something that shd be avoided.

Yes right. Totally agree. I have access to service menu since ages (since my first samsung lcd)
Now only I got access to panel hours on this B650

Yes it will be reset. See last pic 11th column on the left.

Hmmm.. wonder if the display set has arrive in HN, QBM Penang?

I've searched around, can't find any B650 displayed. Shop owner said it is a high-end model and not many people would like to buy plasma these day.

My Samsung 50B850 is being delivered tomorrow.....will give review and post pics when available!

Excellent...
How much you got there across the sea?
Seeing from AVS it's more like the same, B850 is thinner
Best deal I have seen on B650 is 6.5k with 32" lcd. Damn value for money

@ronaldjoe

If I had a choice between the B650 and B850, prob would get a B650.

Yeah pic quality would prob be similar, only the ultra filterbright plus is difference in bright lighting. Thinner is nice, but not essential.

The B850 also has Crystal FullHD Engine and Cinema Smooth, are these features in the B650 as well?

But since only B850 is out in my country....so no choice! Its around 11k, with free 22"lcd and brackets.....

Definitely not value for money :-)

But thinking that its competitor is the Panny 50V10, which would also launch (if ever) at around the same price or slightly cheaper from extrapolating the 50S10 vs 50V10 prices in Aussie....

So hope I made the right decision!

Ronaldjoe,

How's the IR issue on this B650? How bad is it?Any improvement?
I read from some review got this 50Hz judder. I'm not sure what is that. Thks.

Boss, you are damn loaded
V10 would be around this range (rough guess)

No IR yet. I hope not.
Now only clocked 60+ hours.
50 hz judder? I'm not sure and not encounter this issue yet.
I have seen B550 and B650 side by side. I picked B650 without second thought.
At 5.5k (less 1k for 32" lcd), B650 is far more superior than S10.
