Samsung LN52B750 Great HDTV
I think it's better to wait until late summer when the top-of-the-line B9000 series comes out and also when Amazon usually has a 2-year no-interest financing deal. According to Consumer Reports, it replaces the A950 series and will also use full-frame LED backlighting with local dimming. The recently announced 6000-, 7000- and 8000-series sets use edge LED backlighting, which doesn't allow for local dimming. Still, this one is a great set if you can't wait.

Samsung LN52B750 My First Flat Panel
I got this TV from a B&M store on Father's day. The box barely fit into a Honda Odyssey so shipping seems like a good option if you don't have a truck or mini van.
I like how the stand isn't attached because I directly hung this onto a wall mount.
The picture is great and 240hz shows HD content silky smooth. The sound quality isn't that impressive, but I guess it's acceptable for a flat panel.
My only dislike about the TV is when ever I turn it on, I hear this buzzing noise that sounds like a loud static buzz/hiss that plays on top of the musical intro noise. This sound varies each time I turn the TV on and I heard it was related to some transformer issue, but I'm not sure. I can live with it and I'm not about to return a TV because of this minor defect.
I couldn't tell any difference comparing the LED version and this TV to justify the price increase so I didn't go with the LED one. I suppose the LED one may have a longer life, but I figure by then they will have even better TV's.
The remote has weird curve at the bottom which bothers some people. Also I found that toggling between video sources has awkward delays that make me mess up which input i'd like to select.
The speaker outputs didn't seem adjustable by using the volume control on the TV, though there might be a setting I don't know about.
All in all, I'm pleased with the television, but it's not "perfect" so I can't give it 5 stars.

Samsung LN52B750 Great TV but very bad delivery service
I bought this TV a week ago and the TV came with a small crack on the frame. Called amazon regarding this and they were very promt to offer a replacement. Got the replacement few hours ago. Amazon used Pilot for delivering the TV. The guy who delivered the TV was very rude to me he even was talking trash to me. First he told me to pack the TV which he will need to pick up from my place although I persoanlly talked to the delivery company regarding this and they told me that everything will be taken care by the delivery guys and I don't have to pack but the delivery guy was insisting me to pack it. Then I contacted the delivery company and they agreed to pack but the guy who was packing the TV was banging it without opening up the screw from the stand. Not sure why he has doing it. And all the time he was showing rude atitude to me not sure why. Even he started saying that I am stupid when I was checking the TV for damage and others although I just took 2 mins to do that and I wanted to make sure that there is no damage like before. Then I asked him why he is so rude and then he even said to me that he wanted to fight me. I was so terrified not sure what to do. I never had this kind of experience before and it was really shocking to me. Amazon is great but they should be careful to chose their delivery company. Next time I will never order anything through amazon which require delivery guys to drop it off.
