Flat panel TV manufacturers often choose to omit features found on larger screens in a particular range, with 32in and smaller panels usually suffering from the lack of such things as a Full HD resolution and 100hz processing. This is not the case with Samsung's LE-32B650, which retains all of the main features of the B650 series.
Although we have always felt that Samsung have consistently developed effective 100Hz technology, its implementation does not in our opinion bring a great deal to the 32in version of the B650 series. We all perceive images to be clearer and sharper the smaller the screen size (or the further away we move from a TV) and this simple fact may have a lot to do with the lack of impact the increased refresh rate has in this case. As it is, the LE-32B650 is good enough with 100hz turned off to produce a largely judder free picture even with fast on screen action.
With Standard Definition presentation the LE-32B650 benefits once again from how the human eye perceives on screen detail when compared to larger panels in the range. Despite this, there is still a lot of work to do converting the 576 or so line of Freeview onto a Full HD screen - but testament to Samsung's picture processing wizardry, the end result is one of the most accomplished pictures we have seen for the price. There is a very small amount of 'noise' interference, but you have to look hard and the picture is one of the most stable and ultimately most satisfying we have witnessed.
