 6 months of pure bliss Feb 14, 2010
I purchased this television 6 months ago this month. For big purchases such as the LN52A850, I am hesitant to recommend a product of this price without living with it day to day for a considerable amount of time. As a lifelong Sony television loyalist, I was finally convinced to purchase a Samsung from all the incredible reviews and explosion in popularity that these sets have seen recently. If you want the meat-and-potatoes with all the ins and outs of this set, I would suggest you refer to the many other reviews that have covered the tech specs ad nauseum.
Well, six months later let me start by just saying what a pleasure this TV has been. This particular model has an upgraded pixel at the sacrifice of lesser on board sound (Which is not an issue with me being as I have an audio system already. Also the fact that anyone who would like to go that route as well, the options and price points are getting cheaper by the day for surround sound options). With proper calibration, I challenge any television maker on the market to go side by side with this beauty. I'm sure hardcore enthusiasts can convince you there are better PQ sets out there. They are correct. I believe there are 2, yes TWO televisions available that can out perform this one, both of which are plasma based. One is the Kuro which will likely cost you at least double, if not triple, the price of the LN52A850. The other is the G and V series Panasonic plasmas. The Panny was VERY high on my list and is an unbelievable deal. I cant say enough about the Panasonic but, again it is a plasma set. Which brings me to my next point and I think this is information that EVERYONE should know: Plasma televisions WILL, even to this day, have IR or image retention problems. That is just the nature of the beast. Those black side and top bars on most movies and standard def TV shows present a particularly unavoidable problem. I chose LCD because I simply do not want to deal with IR on any level, regardless of how easily it 'supposedly' goes away. I can see it now: I'm sitting down to watch the super bowl with a house full of guests when I forgot to run my IR wipe cycle after someone else in the house has the 'LIFETIME: Television for Women' logo or my favorite video games health bar IR'd over the score... IR is simply an issue that comes across as substandard quality for a perfectionist such as myself.
If you have been researching for a perfect, maintenance free, workhorse of a television with picture quality that will absolutely and without a doubt blow you away every time you press the play button on your favorite blu-ray, DVR'd sporting event or show of choice, LOOK NO FARTHER. Consider yourself lucky that you found this exact model considering all the confusing product #s and the fact it seems to be pretty well hidden while searching amazon.

THIS-IS-THE-HIGH-DEFINITION-TELEVISION-YOU-ARE-WANTING (period)
On a side note: Feel completely at ease ordering a television from Amazon.com. Delivery was professional, prompt and on par with any brick and mortar shop around. (However you will most likely have to connect your devices yourself but that should'nt be too big of a problem)
Great TV even after a year - can't say that about many things these days. Feb 14, 2010
I purchased this TV back in 2008, and it still ceases to amaze me. Every time people come over and watch a Blu-ray movie, they are amazed and in wonderment. And in this day and age when technology changes so quickly, with 240hz and LED back lighting, I can still say that I am still in love with this TV to this day. 52" is a lot of real estate in this day of bigger, bigger, bigger, but with my set up, this TV is perfect. The only drawbacks, and there is alawys some, is the secondary remote that comes with it, that is supposed to simplify, doesn't even work. And the speakers in it are pretty cheesy, but if you are spending this kind of money for a TV, I hop you have a sound system to go with it. But, over all this is the best TV I have seen around, and I can still, even after a year which is like 5 tech years, I would do it all over again.

 Best tv I bought, Dec 15, 2009
Great tv, researched. the white clouding doesnt bother me but took off a star for the clouding.
 Nice TV Dec 10, 2009
Super thin for an LCD but the plugs go in perpendicular so if you have it mounted on the wall it can be tricky. I pounded a hole in my drywall, smoothed it out and repainted so I had a concaved area where the plugs connected.
TV is great, remote is cruddy and the pocket remote is worse.
Amazing picture, great TV Oct 02, 2009
The picture quality on this TV is absolutely amazing. I use this in a well-lit room with lots of windows and I have no problems with glare or the picture being hard to watch. The viewing angle makes this TV viewable from every spot in the room. Setup and configuration was very easy and customizeable, and there were plenty of inputs on the back to accomodate all of my devices.
This is my main TV in the house and I am extremely happy with the purchase.
