I got a 52" samsung 750 not to long ago that I'm very happy with. It's basically the same as the 650, but has a better looking bezel and better in-built speakers.
The 650 is a good buy, but check out AVSforum as some have had issues with their 650s.
And wow, the 850s are out already.....that was fast. The 750s were basically brand new when I picked it up a few months ago.
I wouldn't put to much weight into these contrast ratios. The higher end sonys are very nice and quite comparable to the samsung, but from my layman eyes, I thought the samsung was the best LCD out. Either way, these brands have the best LCDs on the market. I actually might have gotten the sony, but the sony XBRs were a bit more expensive from what I remember.
In your price range, you should also consider a panasonic or maybe a samsung plasma. Many will argue that plasmas will offer superior picture quality to LCDs.
