Enhanced Picture Quality
The newest member of the LCD 650 Series TV family will utilize
Samsung’s proprietary Auto Motion Plus™ 120Hz frame-interpolation
technology, partnered with a quick 4ms response time, to reduce
blurring caused by fast movement shown onscreen. Advanced users can
also customize how Auto Motion Plus handles judder and motion blur to
suit their taste. The LN65B650’s Ultra Clear Panel technology creates a
vibrant picture by enhancing colors and reducing glare, even in rooms
with a lot of ambient light. The Wide Color Enhancer 3 ensures accurate
reproduction of colors with shows, movies, games and more, regardless
of the viewing environment.
Connectivity and Content
The 2009 LCD 650 Series TVs (40-inch class and larger) come equipped
with the new Samsung Medi@2.0 suite of multimedia features. Ready for
both wired and wireless connectivity, the LCD 650 Series TVs offer
access to a breadth of content via the Internet@TV – Content Service,
built-in Content Library, DLNA and USB 2.0 ports to play movies and
more. Internet@TV delivers access to Internet content from Yahoo!,
Flickr, YouTube, and more while watching TV via easy-to-use TV widgets.
The smart, user-friendly USB 2.0 interface makes it easy to share and
view media files on your TV from a digital camera, MP3 player, or even
a thumb drive.
A New Touch of Color
The LN65B650 further distinguishes itself with a Touch of Color, or
ToC, design, which is produced through a dual-injection molding
process that luxuriously coats a translucent surface over the frame for
a premium look. The 65” includes a two-tone gradation of a stylish gray
tone color along the curve of the bottom edge, with transparent color
finishing along the bezel’s outer edges.
Energy Friendly In Any Home
As with all of Samsung’s LCD 650 Series TVs, the LN65B650 features low
power consumption, meeting Energy Star v3.0 efficiency guidelines and
saving energy and money for the consumer. Additionally, the
dual-injection process used to create the unique ToC bezel design is
done so without the need for sprays, paints or dyes, which typically
release Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs).
