Samsung LN52A750 52-Inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color

I thought long and hard about which TV to get. I watched prices, shopped around and studied up on the features of all the TV's I was looking at for months. I got it down between the Sony W series and the Samsung 6 and 7 series 52 inchers.

All 3 TV's have incredible picture quality. Can't go wrong with either Samsung or Sony. For myself it came down to cabinet appearance. I know, seems insignificant, but it matters to some. The Sony has that silver speaker bar along the bottom that I find unattractive. I like the way the Samsungs look. Granted they have that "touch of color" reddish hue to the bezel, for the most part it looks black.

They both offered similar feature sets. I believe the 7 series added some audio benefits over the 6 series. I believe the speakers on the 7 series are upgraded over the 6 series. I also like the square stand it sits on rather than the oval one the 6 series has. Furthermore, the price difference between the 6 and the 7 at times was only $50, so why not go for the higher model!

As far as picture quality goes, its really incredible on HD sources. Directv and blu ray are pretty unbelievable. Striking and vivid colors, no artifacts on the screen so far, so the 120Hz must be doing its job. I believe the Sony might have a better menu system and perhaps better OTA antenna reception, but that's judging from the Sony LCD I have in my bedroom. This TV is definitely worth it.

Delivery:
The delivery of the product took a few more days than expected. I was estimated to received it on a Friday and it arrived on the next Wednesday due to the delivery company having to schedule a time for delivery. Considering I did not pay shipping costs, it was worth it. When they delivered it they brought it inside and took it out of the box to do a visual inspection and test to make sure it worked. I was impressed with the fact they did do this. I hunted and Amazon had the best price from a trusted vendor when you factor in tax and delivery charges.
Television:
The TV was easy to set up and no issues. The picture is very clear and the colors look great. There appears to be depth to the pictures. There are not any forward facing speakers on the TV, so the sound is a little different that what I was expecting. It still sounds fine though. There are several setting to adjust to your preference. I will repeat that the picture on HD channels are AMAZING on this TV. It changes the way you look at movies. Example: Jurassic Park looked more real in regular broadcast, when we watched it in HD on this TV you could really see the details more clearly. I like it.

I purchased this TV from a local H.H.Gregg, but I got them to match the price when Amazon had it at $1,899.00! This was cheaper than the lower 650 series Samsung and it comes with extra content and, in my opinion is more astheticly pleasing with a wider glass bezel rather than the "rounded" plastic corners of the 650. It also has VERY subtle DARK red around the outside that is barely noticeable. CNET and others complained of the red, but I can barely see it, even when looking for it.

Others also complained of the extended bezel corners caused an annoying reflection/glare by reflecting the light from the screen in the corners and causing some distraction, I have also looked for this and did so on the store model as well and have not noticed ANY distracting light or reflections. I have heard that there are different screens and coatings that may have been used that could contribute to this affect. My TV says SQ01 as a version number which may tell those concerned some info about my specific model.

The complaints about the extra content are valid as it truly does feel "tacked on", however it is a nice feature that can be used to add ambient background during parties and to show off your TV at the same time, as the pictures that come with it are stunningly gorgeous. The fact that I got this TV cheaper than the 650 Series that did not come with this content (i.e. cooking recipes, wallpaper type pics, children's games, etc.) is really the only reason I can justify getting it.

I have also found the complaints about the remote "wheel" (like a cheap version of the iPod navigation wheel) to be true for the most part, as it IS NOT very responsive...BUT I very rarely notice b/c you can just click the bottom, top and left/right portions to have it act as arrows would, which IS VERY responsive. I find myself not even utilizing or missing the wheel feature.

I have set each input for the various accessories I have, being Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. The PS3 input is set for dark room Blu-ray viewing per CNET's recommended settings. It IS BEAUTIFUL! I recently viewed my friend's 50" Sony DLP, watching Casino Royal "on below DVD downloaded quality granted" but noticed that the blacks were DARKER on HIS, but with the overall better picture quality and brighter picture I am still EXTREMELY pleased with this TV! Very little color adjustment is needed out of the box, I just left mine alone and set it on WARM 2! The "Game" mode for the 360 and PS3 when playing games is great!. The "Sports" mode is very accessible through the E.Mode button via the remote allowing a quick change from the dark room film settings for my cable box! I would only recommend (as many others have said) the 120Hz being turned on for SPORTS ONLY, unless you want to see cheap background sets and props in Blu-rays and DVDs! I noticed many of these in Pirates of the Caribbean, The Strangers, and The Dark Knight when playing with the 120Hz settings.

Overall great TV and got a great deal thanks to Amazon's pricing and H.H. Gregg's price matching policy! Love this TV it is great mounted on my wall in my bedroom!

An absolutely amazing LCD TV, great for games and the picture quality is exceptional. My suggestions to you are - 1. get the ps3 - 2 - get the ln52a750 3- enjoy life.

I bought this TV around Oct this year. Everything looks great! Had to upgrade my old Dell 32" LCD. Shopped around for a while. Did the whole LCD versus plasma thing. I chose the Samsung LCD because the of the price, otherwise I was looking at the Pioneer Kuro.

The "Halo" doesn't bother me one bit. I do have it, but only noticed it after I read a few reviews. I'm too busy watching the screen to notice. Watching Blu-ray / HD-DVD (yes I do have one) or my DVD looks awesome on this. Make sure you have the 120Hz Auto thing turned on while you use your up-converting player.

My ONLY qualm with this unit is the bezel. I bought the 750 because I liked how the bezel added a "touch of class." The only problem with it is that because it's "piano black," when the unit is off I can see that the panel is not flat. There are little "dimples" or imperfections in the glass. I'm used to looking at the body lines of cars so I see those flaws in almost everything I look at. Doesn't affect the picture quality to me, so "oh well."
