I like this TV Samsung LN37B650 37-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color. It is simple and smart with a high quality picture. The only setback for me was that I overlooked the importance of the connecting cable from our Comcast set top box to the TV. I bought, separately, a good HDMI cable (Monster brand) in order to assure the Hi Def quality of the picture.
As secondary issues, the remote control has an impressive array of buttons and controls, and the fact that the volume control is indicated as an unobtrusive circle on the side of the picture is a nice feature.

Very pleased with the Red Touch of Color. The picture is the best I've ever seen. We've come a long way from the black and white TV set my family first had in 1955. I would recommend this TV to everyone.
"good but Needs more motion flow"

I bought this tv 2 months ago and I love everything about it except that it needs a bit more of motion flow.
I love that u can play video content from an usb flash, i even can play HD content from it. because this tv can play mkv so u dont even need to buy blurays, just download.
About the motion flow, I notice the lack of motion flow when playing GTA4 on my ps3 u notice the blur very much. also while playing soccer games like PES and Fifa. also in the movies when people are walking, and of course when there are action secuences.
Its a real nice Tv but if you care about the motion flow u should get one with 240.

I recently got this as a replacement for a SONY BR4 that died AFTER FOUR YEARS (thanks Sony!).
With a standard cable hookup (not HD yet) the picture is the best I've ever seen. I'm not a picture fanatic, and my eyesight is failing, so normally I dont' notice these things. Far superior to the SONY's I've had. The picture is so sharp and crisp I'm going to have to do a bit of research because I'm curious how Samsung manages it.
ToC. I was a bit concerned if the red ToC would be distracting. One reviewer stated it was subtle, and that may be overstating it. You probaly will only notice the ToC in the showroom, or when you're unpacking it. It's not at all noticeable or distracting when viewing.
I only have a few minor annoyances:
1) There is no users manual included, only a quick start guide. The only way you can get a printed manual is buy one. Two reasons I got from Samsung support where that they had gone "green" and most people don't read the manual anyway, with which I disagree. Second was that it was too big to print. Please! For $900 dollars I expect a dang manual.
You can download a pdf manual from their web site.
There is very nice interactive user manual on the included USB drive (would be nice if the zoom function worked there to read the small print). But nothing in the packaging tells you it is on there...and their customer service doesn't seem to know it's there either.
I'll give them points for including the USB drive.
They do call their set plug 'n play, and it is pretty close to that.
2) The picture settings seem a bit limited. You have 16:9, 4:3, and a couple of zoom modes that don't seem very useful. In the two zoom modes you can move the picture up and down, but not side to side...not sure what those two modes are for.
It defaults to 16:9. On most sets, "regular" tv shows look a bit stretched and odd in 16:9,which I find annoying. But somehow the Samsung seems to manage it in a tolerable manner.
Warranty: I saw one reviewers comments on having to ship his 32" to New Jersey at his expense, which certanly seems absurd. When you read Samsung's web site, the 32" seems to fall in some undefined area. They mention specifically the bigger sets and the smaller (25") but its a bit confusing what applies to the 32". I called them and was assured there were other options besides shipping to NJ, that they would find a local repair company to handle it.
Hopefully, I won't have to deal with that. After dealing with the warranty replacement on the SONY I developed some opinions on the near worthless value of warranties vs the hassle factor.
I would recommend to anyone who does have to deal Samsung about warranty issues that if the first thing they are told does not seem satisfactory, call back and talk to someone else or try to escalate it to a higher authority than basic customer support.

Amazon hasn't updated its page for the LN32B650. Samsung has changed what qualifies for in-home warranty service, and guess what - the 32 inch model no longer qualifies. I called Samsung and they confirmed that if you want warranty service, you have to mail your television to the warranty service provider AT YOUR EXPENSE. Yes, no return shipping label, nothing but a vague statement from customer service that Samsung will reimburse for shipping costs "in certain circumstances."
Imagine, $150 to send your $900 television to New Jersey for "warranty service." Now, imagine your blood pressure exceeding normal limits.
