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

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

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

RM6299 FOC HDMI cable.

Just came back again from viewing the TV, again. My mission this round was to compare the blacks as 1 brother here commented that the 650 have deeper blacks than the 550. I tried very hard to play "spot the difference" between the 2 models, but I have to say that unless U look very very very hard, both model's blacks are virtually the same. The only time U can see a difference is when there is a very dark background, like a person's black coat or jacket. (spotted this in the Samsung breakdance demo clip in 1 of the guy's black jacket in the background). That was the only scene I could see the difference and again it is very hard to spot. U have to deliberately look for it to see the difference. In the other Samsung demo scenes, the cartoon and also Soundstage, I couldn't tell any difference at all. End up I spotted the more natural skintones on the 650, without even looking hard for it...Like I said, must be my peasant eyesight.

BTW, Alan is not around today. Got some super leng lui promoter instead.

Those 2 TVs I saw were in super bright conditions, already very hard for me to spot the difference. In home environment with controlled lighting I'm not sure how much edge the 650 will have over its lower sibling.

Obviously the best comparison would be after both have gone through ISF calibration, but what are the chances of that? :roll:

Want to find the B650 in Penang also have to wait until the cows come home liao...

Thanks for the explanation bro. The white light behind the TV (poor man's ambilight), I thought that was the recommended way to watch these fixed panel displays. Now I know it is used to cheat. (No wonder my 50" fishtank very nice with the white light behind (for my peasant eyes lah)).

22*75 house but the distance from TV to eye is 22'? Sure boh???

Can put snooker table between the TV and sofa.

Just managed to get a look at LCD B650 vs Plasma B650 side by side in Ikano just now. In terms of PQ, the plasma is much better than the LCD, especially the black levels.

Taikor Ronald, post your settings here lah...

Ronaldjoe your set how many hours usage now? How's the IR?

Wah bro like that how long only can break in? My old fishtank, I check usage after 1.5 years, only about 1200 hours usage.

Mind to share where U can get RM6.4k with free 32B350?

So Samsung service is just as good as Panny?

FYI the 50PSB650 and 63PSB650 are on display in Queensbay groundfloor center court by Harvey Norman.

16,999 for the 63" and 6,299 for the 50". No freebies at all, and standard 2-year Sammy warranty. Can get cheaper outside lah...thinking for dumping your 50" for the 63"?

RM4.3k can consider.

Whoops correction, it is 63PSB680, not B650.

Dunno why but I dun see the purplish AR filter on this B680 but on the 50B650 it is very noticeable.
