This TV is absolutely incredible! I don't have much more to say then what's already been said here, but I'll do my best.
I was trying to decide between this model and the series 6, and ended up with this one because of the built-in subwoofer. I'm glad I did because the sound is definitely excellent! It's not quite surround sound, but the simulated surround sound is still impressive.
One of the grea things about this TV is that it works so well right out of the box! I went to a friend's place and he has a 52" Bravia, but the picture was only 1/2 or 1/3 of the screen most of the time whereas the picture fills my screen like 95% of the time. I went home and watched the same show I was watching at his place at my place and the quality was significantly better on my TV (and we live in the same building, so it's the same cable). On his TV there were lines and it looked like a CRT, whereas mine was a lot cleaner and, while it wasn't very clear because the broadcast itself sucked, it was smoother

This was my 1st LCD TV purchase and I chose Samsung because I had just purchased a Home Theatre system from them and wanted it all to work together. I am not a techie person and was worried about getting compatible components with the TV.
White Glove Delivery: Delivery was on-time and I had my choice of a 4-hr. window to schedule. I chose 4pm-8pm. Delivery men took it out of the box, set it up and autoprogrammed channels and just handed over the remote. Picture and sound quality are excellent. I did very little tweaking to the factory settings.
I hooked up my Samsung Home Theatre System to the TV and they work together beautifully with the AnyNet system via "Tools" menu. Menus are easy to follow and the instruction book is helpful and intuitive. I was worried about the TVs frame reflecting light on the walls as I have read about here on other reviews, but I have yet to notice any lights "dancing." The TV comes with a LOT of extras that I will never use, but it is nice to have

Excellent picture quality. Some reflection of light from windows or lighting fixtures during dark scenes, but I have not found it to be annoying. Speakers have rattled slightly at high volume. I have not found a way to add titles (such as NBC, ESPN, etc.) to channel listings. No swivel stand. Operation of the touch wheel on the remote can be tricky at times. Overall, however, I am very pleased with the quality of this TV!

I've had this TV for about a month now, all I can say is I have no regrets about this purchase. Of course after heavy researching, it came down to this TV based on what I was particularly looking for - form and function. I realized the new TVs Samsung has coming out, but I didn't want to wait for them to be released and then wait again for it to become affordable, so this was the best. Having a previous Samsung SlimFit TV did sway me to stick with the brand as that TV was beautiful (but TOO heavy).
The pluses and minus:
- BEAUTIFUL
The red finish that borders around the TV is sleek and subtle (and matches the red accents in my living room, PLUS!). Please note that the red on the 650 version is only on the top and bottom, which looked a little odd for me. The 650 also has that (what I considered super ugly) oval shaped stand compared to the rectangle here.
- USB INPUT and DLNA
I can watch movies I save onto a USB that I plug into the TV. And with DLNA, I can just attach a LAN cable to

The Samsung LN40A750 is absolutely the finest 40", flat panel, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) television (TV) "on the planet"...for every property, every characteristic and every function. I found NO negative aspects about this TV whatsoever nor could I think of anything negative to say about this TV. This just has to be today's "Gold Standard" of television receivers.

I bought this after reading many professional reviews and customer comments on a number of LCDs. I also spent more time than necessary debating whether to purchase the 650 or the 750. Overall, I am amazed at the picture quality. I already owned a 1080p 50 inch Samsung plasma from a purchase in 2007. My only regret so far is not having two of these new LCDs rather than an LCD and a plasma. My personal opinion is that the LCD picture quality is better than the plasma. I actually like the pre-programmed content, although I admit to being skeptical when I made the purchase. I plan on trying the other features of the TV soon. For now, I am thrilled with my decision and have not had a single microsecond of buyer's remorse. The price on Amazon was by far the best that I found.

Samsung LN40A750 40-Inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color
I bought this HDTV for my husband on Father's Day. My husband did a lot of research and decided that this was the make/model he wanted. We shopped around and found that NO ONE could beat Amazon's price, so I ordered it. It shipped the next day via CEVA and we received it within a week. CEVA called us to arrange a delivery time. The delivery man set it up and powered it on to ensure everything was working properly. The TV is beautiful, and my husband LOVES it!!
But there's more to rave about - Amazon's price guarantee!! Amazon guarantees that if the price drops within 30 days of a product shipping, they will refund you the difference. The price of the TV was already well below the advertised price at popular electronic chain stores, but I ended up receiving another $225.00 in refunds after-the-fact. Such a deal!!

This TV is absolutely stunning, and high tech. It has all of the bells and whistles and was priced just right. I am transitioning to HD but the picture is coming in crystal clear now, so I can just imagine how much more blown away I will be once I get a Blu Ray disc player and a HD receiver.
If you are trying to decide between a 650 model or a Sony TV, THIS is the better deal. The 750 only cost a few bucks more than the 650 and the Sony televisions with all of these features cost So much more in price.
I am absolutely satisfied with this television, and don't forget to check the price after you buy it because the price will fluctuate and that's just money back in your pocket.
**The white glove delivery from CEVA------SUCKS!!! They gave me a delivery window of 9am-3pm and still the TV was not delivered until 5:58 pm, that wasted my whole day. Then the guy came in rushing and slicing the box open really fast, so don't be fooled, it's no white glove extra special nothing going on.

Just received this truly beautiful set. The delivery people were not as "white glove-y" as some other reviewers reported. They simply put the set where I told them to, turned it on and made sure it worked and left with the box. But the remote is extra-easy to use, the instructions are very straightforward and the picture is great. I don't even mind the on/off noise that seems to bother some. This is a set you actually want to display somewhere - it's that cool-looking.

The TV is excellent but I wrote this review to make people aware that CEVA shipping is absolutely rubbish and they are the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with. They kept my TV at their local location for 8 days and marked a note saying that they called the customer and he did not answer and the online tracking says something else totally. But I never received any phone call or VM, and the customer service tells me that they don't know because they are only answering phone - only answering phones ?? what the hell is that ? - and tell me to leave a VM on their system and then no one responds for 2 days.
So if you want to buy this TV buy it from some other place which uses UPS/fedex shipping because through Amazon you don't have a choice but to go through ceva.

I was always reluctant to order something like a TV online but the price for this Samsung 40" A750 without sales tax and free delivery was too hard to pass up. I ordered this HD on 6/3 and on 6/10 they delivered, brought into my house, set up and made sure everything was working. I was blown away at the speed and the service. Then I started watching HD channels on Comcast and I was equally impressed. I have made no adjustments, no revisions to settings, nada. It is the most impressive picture I have seen outside a theatre. My wife was so impressed she made me order an HD for the bedroom. The sound is excellent and when coupled with my stereo speakers is great. The one annoying factor is the sound it makes when powering up and down. I am sure there is a switch to shut it off but I am too busy to read the manual to find the adjustment, since I am watching the most wonderful video on the HD channels and movies. Discovery HD brings the animals and scenery to real life.

I was undecided between the A750 and its sibling the A650 until I had a chance to see both TV sets in person. While picture quality for both sets is astounding (LCD technology has come a long way), what made the difference was the appearance of the sets. For me, the A750 price premium was easily made up by the fact that this set is much more physically attractive than the A650. The Touch of Red looks very good on the A750 and gives it an extremely modern and stylish appearance that I preferred to the softer, rounded A650 bezel style. I know this sounds pretty trivial, but if you're going to buy a premium TV that is the centerpiece of a room, in my mind it's important to buy a set that looks as good turned off as it does turned on. Now back to TV watching!

I was very apprehensive about purchasing such a expensive product online and having it shipped to me, but the price compared to what the local stores want got me to go ahead and try. The tv was delivered a week earlier than had been expected and was brought into the home, open, unpacked, placed where I wanted it and throughly inspected for defects or damage. The tv itself is awesome, the pic and color outstanding, not even hooked up to HD. The only thing we don't like is the noise it makes when turning it on and off. Other than that I am extremely happy with the delivery and the tv itself.

Great TV, hooked up to home network and I can access pictures, mp3, movie from my home computer and play, which is great!
Subwoofer is great Plus and I think this is best TV available today!
Amazon standard shipping is good, go it delivered 2 days earlier with CEVA than promised, delivery guy helped setting up and as a part of delivery we need to verify sound/picture etc all basic things before we sign the paper which is really good.
I recommend this set it has very cool features and got impressed with Network access!

... buy this model. We got it to replace a three year old, 32-inch Sony that has served us very well in our bedroom, but we wanted a bigger screen. We got the bigger screen in a better looking cabinet, and, a much better picture, much better sound, and a much better tuner.
PLUSES -
CABINET - The jet black bezel has a subtle tinge of red, and is accented with a clear rim. It's stunning.
SOUND- I chose this model for the internal subwoofer. We don't want multiple speakers in our bedroom, and the Samsung's internal speakers work fine. We loaded a Blueman Group DVD and the internal woofer was pretty powerful. I turned up the bass on the built-in equalizer and had to throttle it back to neutral so the room wouldn't shake. The factory settings are fine.
PICTURE - The picture is sharp, even on analog channels. Digital channels look even better. The wideband flourescent backlight delivers the promised color performance. The factory settings make both analog and digital pictures

Plugged it in, turned it on and WOW, what a great picture, almost 3D. The internet connectivity is also really cool. I highly recommend the Series 7 Samsung LCD's. I bought a 40" for the bedroom and 52" for the greatroom and both are exceptional products.
