The Samsung 650 series of LCDs was flying out of every store near me, and was a top seller at Amazon. I had a friend who wanted a plasma, and once he saw the Samsung 52" 650 in a store he completely changed his mind.
That's probably due to the fact that your friend was looking at TVs in a store where LCDs are brighter and more eye catching. Once you get them home, it's a completely different ball game. I don't care what they look like in stores, for my money I'm getting a VIERA (plasma not LCD) or a KURO.
I will give you one thing though. The 650 is the nicest LCD Samsung makes. If someone forced me to buy an LCD, it would be either a Bravia or a Samsung 650. But again, only if someone forced me.
