How is the picture at night on the parent unit? I just bought the Motorola & it's awful, not clear at all. Is the Samsung better?

Not happy at all with this unit's night vision. We had the previous Samsung monitor, and got this new one when the unit died after two and a half years of use. The picture on that one was crisp on night vision, and the one on this unit is very fuzzy. Perhaps we got a bad camera, but we have no idea. Probably will return it for something else.

It's definitely not as sharp as during the day, the outlines feel a little blurry, but not too bad. Can still see everything just fine. My old video monitor was a tad sharper, but had MUCH smaller screen, and doesn't go anywhere near as far, range-wise.

Well. I haven't tried any other units to have a point of comparison but, in my opinion, it is acceptable. It isn't like looking through a $3000 set of night vision optics or anything but it looks more than clear enough for me. We can see what is going on in (i.e. if our child has rolled over or if something is close enough to be a danger. Our camera is mounted at about 7.5 ft high on the wall above one end of the bed. We can't necessarily make out facial expressions but can generally see what is going on. Hope that helps.

We are very pleased with the picture. Of course, it is not perfect, since it is night vision, but we can definitely see what is going on and what our son is doing. No complains.

I don't know what your expectations are.... But for us it is great. Looks like a grey version of night vision u see in the movies.. Only thing is baby's eyes shine bright & kinda creeps us out.

I dont have anything to compare it to but the picture while "in range" is def good.

We don't have anything to compare it to, but no complaints about the night vision picture. it comes in black and white versus color and switches over automatically depending on how much light there is.

I am extremely happy with the vizio 80. The size is amazing. Samsung has slightly better blacks

Hank, how long have you had the set? I just ordered the same one, so I'm curious as to it's history. A friend has a Samsung and swears by it.

How would you compare the Sony KDL-XBR6 with the Samsung LN32A650? I'm not too crazy about Samsung's so-called Touch of Color Design (TM) for its bezel (amber/black), however. But I'd like to know which model should I buy for my daughter's birthday. She lives in an apartment in Chicago.Thanks.Len Bloom

Thanks for your answer, JD! I thought so. Oh, I saw it at Best Buy--I was SO impressed with it. I wasn't even thinking Samsung until I saw it. Samsung has really outdone themselves with this one, I think! I haven't even read of any major problems with it yet, so that's encouraging! Keep me updated and let me know if there are any little bugs with the TV.

Hi, I was at Circuit City and I was viewing Samsung and a Sony at the same time. I wanted to buy the Samsung but I have the same problem you do.. Glare. The salesman said that the Samsung has a gloss screen as the sony has more of a matte screen but it has just a little gloss but a lot less then samsung.. So I decided to buy the Sony LCD. Sony is better in this situation.

Mine is great. The picture is very good. I mean that because I have a panasonic 65vt50 and after watching that I can still enjoy watching this one. So it most not be that bad if my eyes can stand the change from the best you can buy to this tv. It's currently in my bedroom

I pre-ordered when it became available again. Everything I read regarding the BD-UP5000 has been very favorable. A user review on the AVS forum for the new LG combo has pointed out some flaws, especially with SD DVD playback. I only have room for one machine and the Samsung looks to be worth the wait. I hope it is not delayed further.

Yes, the picture is crisp and clear! I'm very happy with my purchase. The screen also cuts back on situational glare and darkness depending on the angle at which you are looking at it. So in other words just as good as a smartphone screen if not better

I think it's pretty good. I can clearly see my child. I had an older Motorola camera and the night vision wasn't nearly as good as this one.

Perhaps you have already made your decision? What did you choose? This something I am also mulling over. Both seem to be very good tvs and both seem to have issues (buzzing, fading black levels, etc). When a decisding between 2 good choices is difficult, perhaps both either option is a good one? Price is important and the samsung is much less expensive. Save the money for the next hi tech device you need to replace?

I just bought one of these last week and the picture looks good from any angle. I am very pleased with the picture quality also, as well as it's wi-fi conections. My wife streams Netflix movies on it at least once a day.I hope this has been of some help for you.

I had this problem. The night vision started to fade and not function properly and I called Motorola and they replaced the unit. It's happening again with our new camera and I am not happy about it. Motorola should replace the unit for you though if this is happening. I am calling them this week to either get a new camera or demand a refund so I can buy a different product.

I'm having the same type of noise problem with a 26" Samsung. It was like that straight out of the box. The backlight was set on 10 (in the Dynamic picture mode) I have to keep the backlight setting at 5 or below and then it's masked by the TV volume. On mute I can still hear it. Very annoying. I'll be contacting Samsung very soon.

brightness over time will dim. My big problen were the pixels that started to drop. You have spots that stay. Samsung did nothing. I went with sharp Visio when I could not stand the spots. Will not recommend Samsung.

I own both, and personnally I prefer the samsung. It seems to be a clearer picture when running games... just my thoughts.

It does not provide great images in the dark. It is actually overly plagued with noise. I returned mine yesterday after a week.
