@shawn_dude: improved contrast ratio, built in sub woofer and 1GB internal storage, internet connectivity, and improved 120Hz engine to remove "triple ball effect" (TBE), just to name a few

Aside from the MP4 on USB thing (something we'll never use...), what makes the 81 "inferior" to the 850?

@duntuk: should know that a major difference between the 81F and the 650 is the refresh rate. The 81F refresh is 8ms and the 650 is 4ms. It is noticeable with the 120mhz auto motion plus.[www.samsung.com]

there is a ln46a850 (LED backlight) coming out to replace the 81 series but it wont be out for a month or 2. if you are looking for LED backlighting on your samsung you will have to wait or settle for an inferior 81 series.

I'm waiting for them to upgrade the 81-series with more LED's...I think they use like 70 individually dim-able regions...but the original prototype by Brightside (bought by Dolby) used around 1400 regions, and used some super-bright capable LED's to achieve HDR imaging.

Even if they use cheaper/less-bright LED's, using more of them will improve the picture quality methinks.

I have the 46 incher and love it -if the price is the same bigger is better. I'm guessing the 52 incher doesn't do 1080 or something. There must be a drawback. I highly recommend getting the robotic arm which you control with the tv remote also made by samsung. It tilts, rotates, and telescopes which is nice for glare issues.

so which is better? because price wise the Samsung LN-T4681F and LN52A650 are about the same...
