Haven't seen a swivel of that size. Doubt you'll find one since the torque exerted on tv that size would require a lot of reinforcement.

Here you go. One of the best LCDs too.

That thing has a swivel base? I checked samsung website and it wasn't mentioned. I was wondering if it was motorised.

My LN46A650 definitely swivels. It's one of those tiny little features you don't appreciate until you have it. We've got a big sectional in our living room that my wife an I will snuggle into the corner of sometimes. It's off center, but with the swivel feature you can adjust for that.

I would have listed that in the features 🙂

I don't need to know what you do in the "corner" 🙂

And there is no flex when you swivel it? Some joint that is.

I said snuggle...not snorgle.

There's a bit of flex in the panel when you turn it. Not a lot though. For the size of the display, it is relatively light. It's under 50 pounds. My 42" plasma was nearly double that.

It is precisely because it is not a heavy set that I worry about. The plasma is not going to flex. It was built a lot sturdier because the sucker is heavy. Not so with LCDs.

Sorry, I should clarify by what I mean when I say "flex in the panel".

At the pivot joint, the entire panel will wobble forward or back a little bit and then settle into place once you stop turning it. The panel itself doesn't flex.

ah, the pivot had too much friction.

Couldn't find the thing you pasted. I could just suck at it.

It's actually on the description field on the Amazon link I posted. If you go to Samsung's website and look at the LN52A650, it doesn't mention the swivel on it either. And I can 100% guarantee it does swivel.

I believe all Samsung 650 LCDs swivel. My parents have a Samsung 5271F and my friend has a Samsung LN52A650 and both of them swivel. And let me tell you, I don't think my parents will ever consider another TV without the swivel feature. They use it all the time.

My 450 series Samsung swivels, I use it all the time, can't imagine getting a TV without it.
