The LN65B650 is Samsung's largest flat-panel HDTV for 2009. This jumbo-sized set will captivate a roomful of your family and friends with its incredibly lifelike and colorful picture. Plus, it lets you connect to the Internet for entertainment choices that go beyond just watching TV. Touch-sensitive controls give this model a clean, elegant look, complemented by charcoal gray accents running along the top and bottom of the gloss black frame.

120Hz refresh rate for smooth motion
While most HDTVs still use a 60Hz refresh rate, the LN65B650 doubles that to 120Hz. This advanced video processing works together with Samsung's Auto Motion Plus technology to create smoother images with less motion blur — something you'll definitely appreciate when you watch action movies or fast-paced sports on this big screen. Everything you watch will look more solid and three-dimensional.

Plenty of connections for your high-def gear
Four HDMI inputs make it easy to plug in HD components such as cable/satellite receivers, video game consoles, and Blu-ray players. These inputs include "CEC" control, which lets you operate compatible HDMI-equipped Samsung components using only the TV's remote. That's a nice option if you keep your components hidden away in a cabinet or if you simply don't want more remotes cluttering your coffee table.

Do much more than watch TV
This state-of-the-art HDTV gives you a wealth of multimedia entertainment options. A rear Ethernet port lets you use your broadband Internet connection to access Yahoo! Widgets, letting you enjoy content from services such as Yahoo! News, Flickr, and USA Today. You can also stream movies and music from a computer running DLNA software. Or, watch your favorite video clips by plugging a thumb drive into the USB port on the side of the TV. A second USB port is included to also let you connect an optional wireless USB adapter, so you can enjoy this set's networking capabilities without running Ethernet cable.
