in the country but that was no problem for them. They have GPS. They unboxed the TV in the house and let us inspect it. It was perfect. Then to my surprise they set it on the stand, plugged it in and turned it on to make sure it worked. They suggested we keep the box in case there would be a problem and we would need it to ship it back. Well, I'm happy to report there are no problems.

I love This TV. The picture just blows me away. The colors are crisp and so accurate. You can see all the detail....hairs out of place on the news anchor people, zits, the flaws that make them finally look like real people. The set is beautiful to look at even when it's turned off. We have it mounted on a stand with a post and bracket that we purchased at Walmart. There are windows across the wall opposite the TV and when the Florida sun shines in during the mornings we have to close the shades as there is some glare. I thought this might be an issue since this model doesn't have the matte screen like the Sony does. But after comparing pictures at the local stores I was sold on the Samsung because the picture is just so much more crystal clear. And it looks great at every angle. It's the best!!!!

source (via HDMI). The only time it will output 5.1 digital (or higher) is from an off-air coax connection. Lame eh? This hasn't hurt me because I can just hook them directly to my sound system, but I was hoping for a smaller cable mess.

Best picture quality hands down. It is very close to plasma TVs so don't get a plasma; they are heavy, dim, and have possible issues of fading (needs recharging) and screen-burn. Most Blurays (and other widescreen movies) don't come to you in a full 16:9 frame, which means there will be letterbox bars. This can damage a plasma screen, but you can leave an LCD on all day.

highly recommend this TV to anyone.

Helpful note about Amazon.com: Up to one month after the purchase date, Amazon.com allows for price matching of the current price. The price of this TV dropped over $100 within one month of the purchase. A simple call to Amazon's customer service and I was reimbursed the difference.

I dont really notice a difference. I havent heard the sound from the 650 series, but I cant imagine that there is that much difference.

So overall I am pleased with the purchase because all of my requirements were met, but all the 'bells and whistles' came up short. I probably would have been just as happy with 650 series, but amazon had such a great price (low price, free shipping, no tax) on this one I cant really complain. If you are looking to save a few bucks get the 650. I am crossing my fingers that there will be in the near future a firmware update which will resolve the DLNA and RSS feed issues. If this becomes the case I will REALLY be pleased with the TV.

The one thing I really prefer over the 650 is the touch of color on the 750 goes around the entire tv, whereas the 650 only has it on the top and bottom. This is purely aesthetic reason and it can only be seen in a well lit room.

On a side note, CEVA delivered the TV 6 days earlier than the expected arrival date. The TV was ordered on thursday and it was in my house by the next week friday (6 days). I live in california and the TV originated from the east coast.

can be hard to watch basic broadcasting cable (no HD Box... yet) but what HDTV would look amazing without a digital box?
4)speakers aren't great (plan to get sound system)
5)120 HZ sometimes can be too good. Change is difficult for some people.
6)I can't stop watching movies/playing games; so pretty.

No issues so far, but I haven't had it more than a month yet. Also, the TV was purchased at a store and not online, though it is cheaper on Amazon.

My advice is to check it out at a store first. It is prefect for me but of course people have different opinions. Usually after I make a big purchase there's a moment of regret or guilt. With this TV, I still feel I made a quality investment and increased my quality of life. There are a lot of variables to buying a TV today so do your research. I would recommend this TV to anyone.

i would think it was High def cable. simply put i have to complaints there and actually am not very inclined to get HD cable because it's almost not necessary. The 120 hz AMP is interesting. I definitely agree with other people that this feature can be good and bad. If you walk into Circuit city, they will automatically tell you about it and make it seem like it is a "must have" but i would beg to differ. Don't get me wrong, on certain things it is amazing but on regular movies....i could go without it sometimes. Motion is very fluid and smooth. For example, i watched alvin and the chipmunks with the demo 120 hz which means half the screem had it on and half off. a girl jogged across the screen and on the off side it was choppy. On the "on" side the motion was extremely smooth flowing and not choppy at all...BUT....as others have stated it makes everything look too smooth. characters look almost computer generated by the way they move. I have a ps3 and so all the movies i watch are blu ray ( which looks absolutely incredible on this tv) and i also play a lot of games. this is where the 120 hz shines. COD4 looks and feels awesome. motion is fluid and because everything is computer generated to begin with....it just makes it all that much better. You have the option of off, low, medium, and high, so you arent stuck with something...its all up to your discretion but im not totally sold on that technology yet. and just for the record....movies that are all CG take advantage of 120 hz because it acts just like ps3 games. SO if you are stuck between this and the 550.....i would say it really all depends on how much you want to spend. If you can go a little bit more than you would like, definitely go with the 650 but if you are on a tighter budget, i promise the 550 will blow you away too. both are GREAT tv's and i would highly recommend both of them. look at the bright side, this is pretty much a win win situation :)

if you are into news feeds, stocks, and weather.

For those that have this TV, I found that putting it on movie mode and taking the back light down to 4 really helped make the picture even better from the default settings...allows the contrast improve markedly. I found the picture at default is a bit cold and the contrast is too extreme due to over brightness leaving out quite a bit of detail in darker sceens and crushing the blacks.

The only issue I have with it is that it sometimes has a scrambled image when I turn it on. I'm pretty sure this is a freak, isolated issue with just my screen or a handful as I've never seen anything like it. You can still see the picture, but the colors are all out of whack and there is horizontal banding throughout the image.

I called up Samsung and they were great with their customer service and got me a service ticket immediately with a local fix it shop. They came out the next day and took the TV, but they couldn't get it to replicate the issue in the 5 days they played with it--figures. So they brought it back and of course it worked again just fine for about 5 days and then yesterday it started doing it again. It isn't a permanent issue because I just turn it off and then when I turn it back on it takes about 10 seconds and then the picture pops back in with no problem, but the issue is annoying. This time I'm taking video of the issue to show the technicians for my next trouble call.

They are just making sure that the TV powers on so that you Won't be able to return it once delivered, and signed for.

Otherwise, back to the TV: The Samsung LN40A750 is so amazing~~~~~~~~ Treat yourself to the Best and get yours today, you won't be disappointed.

The 750's frame is flat, squared off, and larger (wider). The 650's frame curves back a little at the top and bottom, has a slightly curved bottom edge, and is slimmer. The stand is oval versus rectangular on the 750. I chose the 650 mainly because of the frame and stand, although the $200 savings over the 750 didn't hurt.

My digital/HD feed won't be set up for a couple of days, but basic cable looked very good. Color, contrast, etc. all looked great. I didn't watch any sports (football doesn't start for a couple of months), but motion on action shows and commercials was displayed fine; no judder was noticeable to me. Knowing a digital/HD feed is preferred, I expect the picture to only get better. My PS3, connected via HDMI, was stunning. The 650 had no problem with any of the fast motion of the games. BluRay's were equally as stunning. And with regards to black, this TV has deeper blacks than most plasmas, including the Panasonics. The blacks were on par with the 110, which is known for its blacks (hence the "Kuro" name).

Oh, and all of this was out of the box. I was too excited about getting it to take the time to tune it. I've read that this TV generally requires few adjustments out of the box to get it set at optimum settings, but I'll find out for myself tonight when I tune it.

A lot of the reviews I read of this TV seemed to slam the remote. Honestly, I had no problem with it. The buttons are large, clearly marked, and backlit. Back lighting is great to someone like myself who previously didn't have backlit remotes and had to memorize botton locations. The "wheel" that seems to get most of the complaints isn't that bad. I don't have an iPod or any similar device, so rotating a wheel isn't second nature to me; however, I had no trouble using it on the remote. After a couple of times playing with it, I was adjusted to its sensitivity and it became pretty easy to use.

A final note on Amazon (the seller) and CEVA/Eagle (the shipping company). Both are great. Amazon had an unbelievable price and shipped it the day I purchased it. It arrived a day before their estimated arrival date. CEVA called the night before and arranged to call me half an hour before their arrival (ie. no sitting around for hours waiting for them to show). I had wanted to inspect the TV to make sure it wasn't damaged during shipping before I signed for it. Before I could even mention that, the delivery guy said they wanted to open the box and plug in the TV to make sure everything was okay before I signed.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Samsung 650A, as well as getting it from Amazon. You won't be disappointed in any respects.

it isn't practical due to lack of codec support.

The DLNA server software included with the TV is very, very slow. I mean it! It feels as if the software has to warm-up before it can perform the function, for example opening a folder takes about 7 seconds. The folder had no files. That's a pretty badly written software, you feel as you are beta-testing the software. You can use other DLNA software such as TwonkyMedia, which is MUCH faster, to fill in the bridge but you'll run into another issue: "This codec is not supported", which means, for those not too computer savvy, basically means I can't play this files with this type of compression (note: compression type is not the same as file extension.). Then reading the manual you will also noticed that each codec it supports has a maximum resolution of a certain size, else if the file movies exceed the resolution, it will spit out another error message: "Resolution is not supported". Hopefully down the road Samsung will issue a firmware to add more codec support (MKV, RM, OGM, FLAC, WMV, and many others currently not supported!) Another alternative is wait for DLNA server softwares to add support for this TV series using transcoders, similar to how TVersity re-encodes files the PS3 cannot read to codec formats the PS3 can read right before before streaming it into the PS3. However, USB built-in video support won't ever be practical without a firmware upgrade...

But, in the meantime, the feature isn't worth taking up valuable ports in my 4 port router. Hook up your computer to your TV if you have the option, as that is still the best way to get all your movies to play.

Despite all the negatives, I highly recommend this TV. This TV deserves all the praises it gets from all other reviewers; however, don't expect it to be much different from the 46A750 in regards to feature due to the limitations. If your decision on this set lies solely on the DLNA, pass on this and grab a 46A650 and save yourself the premium you are being charged for a broken feature. Do note this set has built-in woofers that the 46A650 does not have. The built-in woofer was adequate for my needs.

I finally get my SS-receiver and connect to my system I will be able to compare which one does better upconverting.
Unfortunately, when you switch from component to HDMI, you have to press several buttons on the remote. First where the video comes from, then the audio. Maybe if I use a different port you do not need to do this, but I ordered a Logitech Harmone 550 to eliminate the 6 remotes that I have for the 6 devices just to simplify changing devices especially for the kids and wife.
The sound from the TV speakers is just great if you do not intend to purchase a surround system. But since I will be getting a 7.1 surround system, I have turned the sound off on the TV.
The USB-port works great. I placed an MPG-file and one DVD-file showing Shakira's Hips Don't Lie live performance in Germany on a memory device, and it recognizes them automatically. You could easily select them to play and it plays them nicely.
What I did not know was that there is a special offer from Samsung, which is not advertised anywhere, that if you buy a unit of 650 or 750 series before a certain date, you will get a wireless device to connect the TV to your network at home (DLNA) for free. This allows me to play movies at a computer on the network and display it on the TV. I found out about it at Audio Video Science Forum. I should be getting it soon. Video, I read about, may not play with MS Windows Media Player, but who uses this any ways? At least I do not as there are better media players such as PowerDVD and WinDVD on the market. Let's see if any of these works.
Has the shiny screen bothered me? I have located this unit next to a huge sliding glass patio door facing north and I have not seen any annoying reflection. Maybe if I place it opposite of the door I will. The only thing that shines into my eyes is the late afternoon sun in the summer, in which case I just close the curtain.
At a store, when you walk by HDTV's even LCD-units, you will notice the heat emanating from the screen. Having watched TV for a while, I do not notice the heat on this unit. Maybe if I keep it on for an entire day will I notice it, but so far, having watched 4 hours of TV in the summer, I am pleased to say that it did not add significant heat to our living room.
There is many more features that will take time for me to explore. The RSS-feed is one of them when you connect it to the internet.
When I bought this unit, I noticed that Amazon was selling the older model, the 650, for a hundred dollar less. It was therefore a no-brainer for me to get into this, especially since Amazon will price match a lower price. It was perfect timing since I have not seen a lower price on this unit after I bought it. I am comfortable spending about $1800 on this unit, unfortunately shipping is $150 extra. I saw a lower priced unit from a camera store in New York, but I rather go for no-hassle, customer-friendly purchase at Amazon. A lower price on this planet, BTW does not mean you will get a refund from Amazon. Buying from Amazon gives me a better peace of mind, just in case. Since I bought the unit with my Visa-card, the warranty is doubled to 2 years.
I like this TV and only time will tell when it requires replacement. Let's hope when the 240 Hz frame rate and 100,000:1 contrast ratio are available.

the benefit of having 4 HDMI ports on your TV, or B. Buy a whole bunch of ridcoulus wires and splitters and whatnot to send the video via HDMI to your TV and the Audio via optical or another HDMI to your current receiver. I am slightly buggered on that point, but I have read that it has something to do with the movie industry lobbying to have it that way for some odd reason, and it is not, technically, Samsungs fault. Still, it detracts from the experience for those of us who have older/simpler receivers without HDMI inputs, and for those of use that do, makes the four HDMI ports somewhat of a "Why am I paying for these?" quandary.
