One can not overestimate the WOW factor of the Samsung LN52A750 52-Inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color. In the LN52A750 Samsung has given the world brilliant picture quality and stunning style in a unit that anyone would be proud to make the centerpiece of their living room or entertainment palace.
Right out of the box the picture is impressive, although the factory settings are too bright and overly saturated. This is to be expected, however, as virtually all manufacturers tune their sets to stand out in store displays. After fine-tuning my set using Digital Video Essentials: Optimize Your Home Entertainment System (NTSC Component), I now have a virtually perfect picture. It was a tedious and time-consuming process, however, so my recommendation to the patience-impaired would be to hire someone locally to do the work using the latest test equipment. For most people it would be well worth the cost (est. $50 -$75) after shelling out a couple of G's for a state-of-the-art LCD

Great LCD picture. Would rank it the same as the offerings from Sony. However my set had some clouding issues along with a warped panel! The set was bowed left to right and top to bottom. If your looking at it head on, no problem. If you view it from the side as in my home, you can notice it. Im in the process of having it replaced. lastly the sound is barely acceptable. You need to turn the surround sound on and crank the bass all the way up to barely get by. The Panasonic plasmas sound much better out of the box. if your doing a surround system its not a problem. The picture is as good as it gets for high def. The extreams between black and white is amazing! Motion is as good if not better than all the current high def panels. It is VERY thin but you need to understand that even though its only 1.9 inches wide, the imputs are NOT recessed so you need to get the set about 2 more inches away from the wall either on a bracket or stand. i also have a 1080p plasma and to be

I'd like to give this 4.5 stars...I can't give 5, and 4 is too low, but amazon only limits this to whole stars, so 4 it is.
Got this item at a steal of a price from a local retailer who was desperate for business. That aside, I had done plenty of research prior to purchasing and after a week, I can say I have no "buyer's remorse" for jumping on a TV at a great price. We've been looking to upgrade our old 27" zenith tube and the choice has been between this set and the 50" Panasonic PZ85U. Finally getting the opportunity to see these side by side in the store was where I made my final decision. I thought the Samsung looked a little more natural than the Panasonic as I come from a photography background. The Panasonic just looks a little too warm for my taste next to this set. Now...I'm sure neither one of the sets were calibrated at the store, and honestly, I don't think anyone can go wrong with either of these TVs...both produce an exceptional picture, but I liked the A650 over the

I purchased the television from best buy and got them to negotiate so I could have the television that day. I brought the tv home got it all setup. This is our Secondary tv so all the good toys stay on the big tv. I hooked it up to our U-verse through component cables. I hooked up our HD-DVD Player through the HDMI. All HDMI cables used are 1.3 cables. I then went to turn the tv on. As its booting up it sounds like my Playstation 3 making some melody when starting. Not the biggest fan of that stupid noise. I turn on the tv and set it to 1080i and watch. Everything is coming on clear as it should a lot better than our big tv but go figure for a 480 broadcast the smaller the better. Then I turned the tv on to the 1080i broadcast and just as it should the picture clears up and looks amazing. Next I grabbed a movie that was in "1080p" from our HD-DVD collection. I threw it in. I actually have to say that it looks better on the Samsung than our other tv (Mitsubishi 46" 1080p).

My wife and I bought this bad boy last week from Amazon, and it arrived in 4 days flat with their great delivery service. We decided to hang it up on our masonry fireplace. We chose a Sanus tilting mount for the job, which was surprisingly easy to attach to the masonry.
The 850 is special because it's super thin. 1.9" at it's thickest point. This makes wall mounting especially attractive. Throw in the excellent picture, and I'm on cloud nine.
After one day of enjoying it, I say that while I'm impressed with the clarity of the 120Hz feature, my wife and I keep the setting set to "low", which introduces a higher framerate, but not so high as to be actively distracting. For us, the "camcorder-like" feeling of the full 120Hz is best for sports, as opposed to movies/tv.
Bottom line: The Samsung LCD's are amazing to begin with, and the "8" series, given it's thin frame, adds some extra style. Keep that in mind when your comparing this model to all the others, including the 9 (950/960)

The TV was fine for a couple of days but then yesterday night, I started noticing patches of light on various parts of the display that looked like 'clouds'. It was very noticeable in low-light situations which unfortunately I am in most of the time when watching tv. In the day-time, this issue is less noticeable. I've since contacted both Amazon and Samsung to try to resolve this problem and Samsung is going to send a tech out to take a look at the set to see if they can fix the issue first. It seems like this issue is more of a problem on the 650/750 series from what I researched and this is the reason why I opted to spend more money for the 850 but it's disappointing to have to go through the hassle of either getting this fixed or trying to return the tv, all within a narrow time period. Check CNET-Samsung forums for other users that have the clouding issue.

I really like this TV, actually. But I'm sending it back. It's not for me.
The allure of this TV was the fact that it's a matte-version of the 650... However, I recently found out, it isn't. This is a 120mhz version of the 550. This uses an older processor than the 650. I'm a bit disappointed by that, and the lack of an extra HDMI port. The PQ isn't as stunning as the 650, predominately because of the older processor, not because of the semi-matte finish.
However. Glossy does give you better blacks. This TV has pretty grey-colored blacks, which annoys me. It also suffers from clouding/flashlighting, unlike the 650 I've used.
I did buy this version because I wanted to avoid reflections... I also bought the 650 for my Mom. Her TV is just plain out nicer. The reflections? Not a big difference. You see the reflections on both TV's. This one just diffuses them with the semi-matte. But you can still see yourself during dark scenes! It's just not as clear.
Compared to the 650, the difference

This set is amazing. I had a 61" rear projection that had a good picture, but It wasn't anywhere near as good as this. The picture quality is incredible. When scenes involve people in a room for instance it's like looking in on them through a window every detail is bright, vivid, and crisp. And that is with stand definition. I record some old black & White shows and they have never looked so good. High definition is nothing short of spectacular. This set can be set to deliver a 60 hrtz or 120 hrtz refresh. The 60 is very good, but the 120 takes it to the next level. The higher refresh rate gives near Blue Ray quality to scenes where there is distant details in the background. These details become visible with the higher refresh rate. I'm seeing absolutely no artifacts in the picture at all.
The viewing angles are where I see a big difference from what I'm used to. The picture quality shows little or no change no matter how far to the side you get. I've laid on the floor directly below

After 4 months of shopping for an HDTV, this set is the one! It has the best picture and features of any other tv i have seen. I went to Best Buy, Circuit City, and ABC Warehouse here in Michigan to check out every tv i could. At first, i was considering the Sony Z series, but a 46 inch was the largest size for that model. Then i was looking at the Panasonic plasmas, but the picture just did'nt seem to be as clear as the Samsung tv's. So after all the trips to the stores, and all the price searching on the net, buying this set from Amazon was the answer. I bought a Belkin HDMI cable, and a Sanus wall mount for it as well. Everything is perfect! The set looks very classy on my wall, and gives the entire family room a modern look. The one thing about this purchase i was not totally happy with was the shipping. The white glove delivery is overrated as fellow reviewers have mentioned. Only 1 guy showed up from ( Pilot ) shipping, not 2, that i was expecting. When it was time to open the box,

Amazing is the only way to describe it. For the longest time I thought LCD was the way to go. But decided to take a serious look at plasma tvs, primarily because of inherent motion lag and color reproduction issues with lcd. Fancy technology such as 120 Hz still does not mask the problem to a trained eye. Once I decided to go with Plasma, I did a comparision between Pansonic, Pioneer & Samsung. Did a side by side comparison at Best Buy & found the Samsung to have the best picture quality.

I purchased a Samsung 650 Plasma and was amazed.. Understand, I didn't trust the internet purchase and was not sure if this was really the product I wanted. (LCD vs Plasma) No doubt the right decision. Process was safe with Amazon and the delivery Company was great.. The delivery company called to confirm the delivery, respectfully conversed with us, and pulled the TV out of the box, placed it on the table and showed me it was working as planned. Asked if I wanted the box or they would hold it for me. More about the the 650. Did I say WOW... I just wanted a tv I would be happy with and not regret my decision. LCD vs Plasma.. Tough decision. My co worker does this for a living and talked me out of a LCD ..Great move..Distance from the TV is 8- 18 feet. Love watching Football and Hockey. Great angle viewing and glare is not there. (I get alot of sunlight in the room) Sound is of good quality.
Bottom line, we all want a quality product and a good price. With the money I saved, I bought cables,

I've been agonizing over an HDTV purchase for months. My 32" 480p Samsung CRT just wasn't doing it for me anymore. It was time to delve into HD now that it has been around for awhile with major tech innovations (1080p, 120hz, and more). I feel as though it will be many years before a *significant* new HD technology comes along. Here is a list of what I've been agonizing over (and probably you too) and why I made the decision for the 750.
1. LNxxa750 vs LNxxa650
I spent some time drooling over the LN52a650 until I came across LN52a750. I searched and searched to see if there was a performance difference between the two sets. I finally found someone with some knowledge and indeed the 750's use a different (more powerful) internal processor than the a650's. For how incredibly small the price difference is between the 650 and 750 I'm surprised people still shop the 650. Not to mention the regal-looking bezel on the 750, the woofer for those without a home theater system, and some other minor

I have now had a month to view this TV and I must say I have no complaints. First, the delivery was flawless. The shipping company was on time, unpacked the TV, placed it on my stand and even took away the packaging. The viewing experience has to be experienced to be believed. I have an extensive DVD collection and also a smaller Blu Ray collection so I tried a good sample of both to get a feel for the quality of the display.
The Blu Ray disks are absolutely gorgeous. The Blue Planet disk showed the blue color as well as my old Sony. I always thought that Sony did the best job with color accuracy especially the blues but I must say this set matched Sony if not exceeded it.
I am very pleased with this plasma especially considering the reasonable price.

I ordered this to view in my temporary apt and later to use with my computer as it is also a large computer monitor.
The clarity is good. Poor planning for the on off button on the front as you have to push on the case to turn it on or off. Easier to use the remote. This is not a large TV. Plan to sit close if you want to be part of the action.
I don't have a very high opinion of Samsung from the past but am giving them a try again. I have not been disapointed so far. I gave it 4s instead of 5s due to the on off button and the lack of enough inputs for me. It has 2 HDMI, one component, one RCA.

Pros: Good picture, lots of inputs. Works well with my PC (DVI to HDMI cable). Cons: Gets a little hot. Menu kinda sucks. When you turn on the TV it doesn't go to the active input. You have to scroll with the remote everytime. Sound is ok, but i never expect too much from TV speakers. For the price this is a better choice than a Panasonic, imo. I've had it for 3 months now. Amazon white glove delivery was great.

The LN46A650 is indeed a beauitul TV, with full HD capability, and amazon offered an unbeatable price. BestBuy, Costco, even Circuit city could not come close to the price Amazon offered. So for starters, you know that the price is a bargain and cant be beat. But what about the Tv itself and how does it compare to other brands and how does it compare to other models within Samsung?
Well, during my research, my price budget was actually around 1200, and I was looking towards getting a toshiba of the same size 46" that offered a gaming mode and it seemed to lure me in. But after comparing both TV's, toshiba just wasn't worth it. Yes of course samsung was more money, but you get what you paid for. And since this is an investment that you will enjoy over the years to come, you don't want to go cheap but you do want to have somewhat of a flexible budget. I spent 300-400 more in order to get the 46A650 which offered just simply much more. 50,000 contrast ratio, 120Hz, a beautiful viewing angle

Ive had this tv for a couple of weeks now and I am extremly satisfied. The color is amazing, and the blacks are deep and rich. And for the price you wont find anything comparable. I did a lot of research before this purchase and everything I read pointed me towards this tv. CNET.com is a great site to do your research on. If your concerned about the red tint on the border of the tv, dont be. It doesnt light up or anything (I thought it did) and it is hardly noticeable. Dont let that sway you one way or another.
The price on amazon is, as usual one of the cheapest around. There was one other site that was less expensive but I never dealt with that web site before and shipping was extra. When I purchased this tv from amazon it was only about [...]bucks more and the shipping was included. Also the shipping was white glove into my living room and actually arrived a day earlier then they promised! They did call me ahead of time to make sure it was okay they delivered early and of course I said

I did all the research, read all the reviews, found the best price here on Amazon and pulled the trigger. Delivery was on time and flawless. As reported by everyone else, the picture quality is nothing short of phenomenal. One thing to remember is for DVD movies to turn off the "auto motion" setting otherwise it looks like you are watching videotape recordings. I watched Iron Man and the characters looked unnatural, then I switched off the auto motion and it looked the way a movie should.
Bottom line, there is a reason everyone is handing out 5 stars. They don't regret this purchase and neither will you.

I purchased this TV from Amazon just over a month ago. At first I was hesitant buying from Amazon in case I needed to return for any reason, I knew it would be a hassle (reshipping the item and all). So I went to my local Best Buy and Circuit City where the TV was $700 more and asked if they could match it (it would be easier to return it there if need be). Best Buy would only come down to $100 over the Amazon price, and then you'd have to add the 10.25% Chicago tax, which is another couple hundred dollars (Amazon had free shipping on this item). Also, Amazon dropped the price $127 AFTER I ordered the TV and BEFORE it had been delivered. After calling their great support line they were kind enough to reimburse me the $127. I have absolutely no complaints in ordering from Amazon.
I did a lot of research using several websites and publications (CNET.com, Consumer Reports, etc.) and this TV always ranked in the top for 10 for 50" and larger LCD TV's. Then I went to the stores in

So I got this a week ago and have been using it. Primarily as a computer monitor, secondarily for video games, and then TV/whatever as tertiary uses.
All in all, the picture is fantastic. It's big and bright, and mine came with zero defects.
The built-in speakers are very tinny at low volume. Strangely, when I crank the volume high, there's no distortion, and it sounds a lot better.
It suffers some viewing angle color shifts like most inexpensive LCD monitors, but they're only noticeable on the primary color tests. This site has the tests, and they're basically just pictures with explanations about what you should and shouldn't see.
http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/
Even with an analog VGA connection to my notebook, using the skinny VGA cable that came in the box, 1920x1200 is sharp-looking down to the pixel. Playing video games on an XBOX 360 at 1080i resolution through the analog connections, I have not noticed any ghosting or other artifacts. 1080i mode is full-screen, not letterboxed,
