chewkl,

Greyscale adjustment available but no CMS. So it is a stripped down version of the 650. I believe the 650 has a full CMS.

You fellas really damn fast. Here reach only already devirginised everything.

Tabik.

Tonite may go and have a look. Need to buy 2 small units of 32" but just HD ready only. Maybe Series 3 or 4 only.

Bro Anfieldude, wouldn't U be able to calibrate via the service menu if there is no full CMS?

Anyways, here's the user manual for 650:

http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/...-00Eng_0415.pdf

Page 16, everything is the same as 550 except the below:

Colour Space
Colour Space is a colour matrix composed of red, green and blue colours. Select your favourite colour space to experience the most natural colour.
Auto: Automatically sets the colour range depending on the input video source.
Native: Sets the colour range wider than the that of the input video source.
Custom: Adjusts the colour range to suit your preference.
Customizing the Color Space
Adjusts the Color range to suit your preference. Color is available when Color Space is set to Custom.
Color: Red / Green / Blue / Yellow / Cyan / Magenta
Red / Green / Blue: You can adjust the RGB values for the selected color.
Reset: Resets the color space to the default values

xvYCC → Off / On
Setting the xvYCC mode to on increases detail and colour space when watching movies from an external device (i.e. DVD player).
xvYCC is available when the picture mode is set to Movie, and the external input is set to HDMI or Component mode.

Digital NR � →Off / Low / Medium / High / Auto
If the broadcast signal received by your TV is weak, you can activate the Digital Noise Reduction feature to help reduce any static and ghosting that may appear on the screen.
When the signal is weak, select one of the other options until the best picture is displayed.
This function is not available in PC mode.

HDMI Black Level � →Normal / Low
You can directly select the black level on the screen to adjust the screen depth.
This function is active only when the external input connects to HDMI (RGB signals).

1080 Full HD Motion Demo → Off / On
Samsung' new generation PDP panels deliver stunning Full HD motion clarity when viewing fast action sports, movies, and games.
Film Mode
You can optimize the picture mode for watching movies.
Off : Turn the Film Mode function off.
Auto1: Automatically adjusts the picture for the best quality when watching a film.
Auto2: Automatically optimizes the video text when watching a film.
Film mode is supported in TV, Video, Component(480i / 1080i) and HDMI(1080i).
Cinema Smooth: Offers the ultimate cinema experience.
This function is available when the external input connects to HDMI (1920x1080p@24Hz).

Real 100Hz Demo → Off / On
You can get a clear distinction between Real 100Hz and 50Hz, especially when watching fast moving scenes. Therefore, when seeing slow moving scenes, you will not be able to distinguish between Real 100Hz and 50Hz. Demo 100Hz works only with 50Hz signal. Real 100Hz demo mode is provided for shop demonstration with special pictures.

Blue Only Mode → Off / On
This function is for AV device measurement experts. This function displays the blue signal only by removing the red and green signals from the video signal so as to provide a blue filter effect that is used to adjust the colour and tint of video equipment such as DVD players, Home Theaters, etc.
Blue Only Mode is available when the picture mode is set to Movie or Standard.

Tks bro,

Just called him , it's 1499 each. Will see him tonite.

chewkl,

I have to get into the service menu and see if the CMS adjustments (Colour Space Custom) is available and that all 6 channels (RGBCYM) are avail for adjustments. But I highly doubt it since the firmwares will be different and the CMS portion would not be there.

Thanks bro. Looks like need to source for pro reviews of the B550 to see if the adjustments are in the service menu...

Added on September 18, 2009, 4:02 pmJust now we have a quick chat about some elite LED TV and its owner...

This post has been edited by chewkl: Sep 18 2009, 04:02 PM

Guys, asking about 4 Series of Samsung Plasma:
1) Pana P42X10k --> RM3190 (FOC LS85 digital camera, memory card, and a HDMI cable)

2) Samsung PS42B450 (Plasma TV) --? RM2699 (no freebie)

Dont know which one is better, when test on this 2 unit, Samsung PS42B450 look better quality than X10K........Guys, please comments, thanks

was there just now, one main thing caught me was that B650 is blacker than B550... i think this was the major difference other than the hardware features...

braveheart, i was there when u called Alan. hehe


think i will most probably go for B650, but seems it may be a long lead time as Samsung sales had closed for the Raya and could not commit any further delivery schedule. Other retailers mentioned possibility of 2 weeks delivery.

But, HN Alan mentioned they will have 1x unit for sale(apart from the display) coming tomorrow. Those who comfirm order from HN will get it fast.

650 blacker than 550? I didn't notice that at all...must be my peasant eyes

de_lasoul,

As I mentioned earlier, this is very possible due to the different filters used.

Bro Anfieldude, please head over to QBM and then give us your definitive review.

Wanted to go tonite but it rained cats and dogs and cancelled plans as many places were flooded. Need to go tmrw as I need them on the spot.

As I needed 2 units of the 32" so he will have to give me below the quoted price. He was also surprised that so many of you all got the news so fast and already seeing it. I told him not to simply use tembak sales method as you fellas know tons more technically than him. Price wise we all have the advantage to squeeze more discounts since he knows we have all grouped up together. I told him that clearly. He won't simply fool around since we are serious about this.

He also don't want to kena screwed again. But overall he is a helpful guy just some things are out of his control.

I will getting my unit somewhere betwen this couple of days but do you think is it worth it to just take the P50B650 only and entitled for RM1200 discount without 32" freebies?

whats d latest pricing on P50B650?

y dun you wts d 32" as pre-order in trade zone & see if any takers there to do a deal b4 u buy?

Thinking but do not want to troubled myself looking for buyers just to get additional hundred of bucks.

maybe will hard bargain with that shop again to see for room for further discounts.

2 weeks ago they offer me at $5550 for the sets alone.

if can afford, go with what d heart say lorr.. wah, at 5550, good price oredi right.. though abt d same price, seems everybody here think d sammy P50B650 is better than d panny P50S10..

i also might change direction.. been saving to get d panny.. if we double up order, can get sammy go cheaper ka?

hi guys..

i have been scouting ,the best i can find is in puchong near tesco
samsung PS50B650 = RM5500 NO FREE GIFT
samsung PS50B550 = RM4550 NO FREE GIFT

most probably i will be buying the B650 model. house still under small renovation so wont be buying now, those interested maybe we can buy in a group then ask for further discount.

I have heard a lot of good things about P50B650 better than the 50S10. But what really scare me is the image retention on the samsung set. Most reviewers noted that the samsung set is very prone to IR....can some one update on the IR after fully run-in.

I don't mind slightly inferior picture on the 50S10 since no one will notice it if watch by itself....afterall the difference is only noticeable if we place the 2 sets side by side.

He told me those prices are FINAL prices. Cannot discuss anymore.

can count me in.. since all advise concern over sammy reliability, can we get 5 years warranty?

why dont you just put in d details of that shop you shortlisted?
