 Totally Impressed November 29, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this TV a few months ago now and am totally impressed with it. Thanks first off to Amazon for the cheap deal, NO SHIPPING and NO TAX!!
I am going to try to keep this short....
I shopped around, couldn't find a cheaper store or website for TV's.
I read reviews, checked out different sites, researched TV's and found this one. I am in the military, so I mainly wanted a great picture that didn't weigh a lot and was slim so I can move it myself and it won't take up much space just in case I have to put in storage when I deploy.
...seriously consider this TV. It is more expensive than the 650 or 750 series, but wow!! Read up, and do your homework, but if you decide on this one, I know you won't be disappointed!! 1.9 inches thick BABY!! LMAO!!!

My wife and I bought this bad boy last week from Amazon, and it arrived in 4 days flat with their great delivery service. We decided to hang it up on our masonry fireplace. We chose a Sanus tilting mount for the job, which was surprisingly easy to attach to the masonry.
The 850 is special because it's super thin. 1.9" at it's thickest point. This makes wall mounting especially attractive. Throw in the excellent picture, and I'm on cloud nine.
After one day of enjoying it, I say that while I'm impressed with the clarity of the 120Hz feature, my wife and I keep the setting set to "low", which introduces a higher framerate, but not so high as to be actively distracting. For us, the "camcorder-like" feeling of the full 120Hz is best for sports, as opposed to movies/tv.
Bottom line: The Samsung LCD's are amazing to begin with, and the "8" series, given it's thin frame, adds some extra style. Keep that in mind when your comparing this model to all the others, including the 9 (950/960) series which has a superior LED lighting engine, but is considerably thicker than the 8 (850/860).

New LN46A850 creates conflict with remote to cable receiver. When TV turned on, remote stops working. No fix to be found.
Best 46 in LCD October 26, 2008
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I just got this TV set up and going last weekend and after tweaking all of the settings, this is truly the best TV I've ever owned. I previously had a 30 in tube HDTV. The 850 equals all the best qualities of the CRT and has dozens of tweaks to zero in on the best picture for each type of input.
I'm getting my HD signal over the air with a UHF antenna. I have my basic cable running through the S Video input since I don't have any HDMI outputs from my cable box. HD is awesome and standard definition is excellent.
What sets this set apart from many others is the USB input. I've put my pictures on a thumb drive, plugged it in and wow. My pictures have never looked better and I'll never look at a 4x6 print again.
I have yet to hook up my PC to the TV through the wiselink, but that's next where I'll be able to browse and play all of my movie files. Of course you can put your movies on a thumb drive just get an 8 gig for the movie files.
This TV does it all and with style. The screen is very good at holding down room reflections and I am not bothered by the reflective trim.
This is a great LCD and only a plasma or LED model at twice the price would beat it.
 My Adventure - Samsung LN46A850 October 16, 2008

I finally purchased the Samsung LN46A850 after a year plus of research and searching. I had narrowed the search at first between a Sony, Sharp, Samsung, Vizio and Panasonic. I decided to go with Samsung because of the structure of the TV, the features offered and the research (it relate that it was a top of the line brand).
For the details on the TV check http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=televisions&type=televisions&subtype=lcdtv&model_cd=LN46A850S1FXZA or PDF format http://www.samsung.com/us/system/consumer/product/2008/07/22/ln46a850s1fxza/ln46a850_spec.pdf .
I cannot find an official review on this TV yet - CNET & ZDNET have reviewed the 56" so I guess it could be the same.
There are so many features on this TV; I suggest reading about it and then comparing it if you are not sure. Some features I like are the swivel stand, the headphone, subwoofer/ 10w speakers, the 4hdmi port, slim 1.9" depth and thin LCD with build-in-tuner, auto motion plus 120hz, ultra clear panel, 4ms response time, many plug in components etc., mpeg & jpeg files access and mp3 player on the TV. I'm also partial to the color around the bezel.
I had two major issues, first the price and then the size. I didn't want to spend more than $3K and I needed something that could fit on my old stand. At first I was interested in a 40" which was cheaper and then the 46" that was featured more in the store.
The next step was deciding between the Samsung 6 and 7 series. They both had features I liked; series 7 has almost the same features as series 8 (I note that series 7 does not have a swivel stand. If you call Samsung to ask - they don't know). I decided to wait because I just wasn't ready and the price was not worth the size & features. When series 8 came out I jumped to see it; it had all the features I wanted, updated plus the swivel stand. It was the best choice for me.
I waited until it was the price I wanted - $2299 (on sale). I decided to get it at Circuit City since I was uncomfortable getting my TV sent via "white glove" delivery and it wasn't a store I could visit if I had a problem.
I visited the Circuit City store next to my house (Brooklyn/junction) but it was a new store and they didn't have it. The manager and salesman there are not reliable and they tried to pressure me into getting things I didn't need. Next, I went to the 5th avenue store (NY) but the service was awful or should I say there was no service.
I went to Union Square 14th (NY); the service was about the same. However, I decided to ignore the customer service and get my TV. After haggling with the salesman to make sure I got my TV at the online price, he suggested I get some pricey accessories and hook me into paying the hefty $79.99 delivery charge. When I told him I didn't need it, he told me it was the only service offered by the store. He tried to complacent me and said he would deduct the $20 from the price of the TV - he did not. However, he did give me a 10% discount on the accessories he advised to buy. Anyway, when my TV was delivered they bought in the 550 and didn't even realize it; I had to point it out to the guy and he had to run and get me my LN46A850 TV.
Now I have my TV on my old stand; it fits!. It's beautiful. It's very thin and slender, with a gorgeous red haze around the border. I taught it would be heavier but it's not. The border is narrow so the red haze doesn't show that much. The TV is huge - size is incredible and I can see features on people I didn't want to see. I love the swivel stand so I can turn my TV to get behind it or to the side panel. It has some games on it but they are not complete. They suggest you go online to get the full game however you have to pay. I didn't like that because it should have been free - for the price I paid on the TV!
I have an expensive MONSTER cord attached to the cable box - the picture is so detail but makes me crazy - feels like 3d with no glasses. I LOVE IT! I still can't get internet service on it or watch my DVD - that's because I have not connected the rest of the cords; will do so soon. You can watch your favorite shows in different modes - cinema, sport, regular etc. There are tons of playable options to get the picture the way you want it. Sound is great! I would definitely recommend this TV to everyone. I'm giving it a 4 1/2 because I'm still playing with the features.
