Samsung LN52B750 Amazing monitor

Of all the monitors I've ever owned this one stands out as the best of the best. In fact movies shot digitally almost seem to look like soap opera mainly because you don't have that organic film breathing. I would almost give this a poor review because every detail and every flaw is noticeable. But it is a joy to turn this thing on, hooked up to a Dolby Digital 7.1 Blu-ray player and watch the magic. I highly recommend this unit and wish I had the bucks for one of their larger screens.

Samsung LN52B750 Excellent screen with a few quirks

I'm absolutely thrilled with this set. I've had a chance to watch some high definition shows from my Dish receiver, as well as a few Blu-ray movies, and the picture on the set is just stunning. The black levels are extremely good for a non-LED LCD screen, and colors are vivid and bright.

The DLNA aspect works quite well, but the software has a few issues. For one, you *must* authorize the TV in the software or the TV will display an error message when attempting to access any content. Secondly, I have had to reboot my computer a few times when adding new content to the Share Manager software before the TV would access it again. However, once you get it working, it works very well. It was able to stream content from my PC in about every common format with only a few seconds wait time.

I would absolutely purchase this set again with no hesitation.

Samsung LN52B750 Very Pleased

I just received my LN52B750 a couple days ago and I am extremely pleased with this TV. The B750 offers extremely bright and vivid colors, so much so that you would swear you are looking at a plasma and the room I have mine in is very well lit. I have yet to notice any motion blur and there is a lot of options to suite the needs for different inputs and settings.

I do wish that Samsung would provide direct input buttons though. Many TV's have gone away with this option but it really is a must for people using universal remotes with macro buttons. To create a macro on my universal remote that will power on the TV and set a specific input, I have to engage in a lengthy process.
- Power on the TV and wait several seconds before it will accept any other inputs from the remote. (The boot up time is actually a little long).
- Set the TV to the standard "Cable" screen. (Necessary because without establishing a consistent starting point, you cannot step correctly to a specific input as the TV will default to the last used input first)
- Select the "Source" button. (This brings up a pretty menu of the inputs available but grays out the ones that you do not have a powered device connected to so make sure you have everything powered on already)
- Down arrow through the menu "X" number of times. (This will depend on what input you want to get to. For me it was one of the HDMI connections so that I start with watching TV from my satellite).
- Select the "OK" or button to have the TV assign the input and remove the source screen.

I have seen some people state the speakers in the B750 are weak. I think you shouldn't buy a large LCD screen TV for it's internal speakers though. :) I have yet to find any TV that has halfway acceptable speakers. Even a cheap receiver setup would do wonders over TV speakers.

Delivery was handled nicely and it was brought into the house, unpacked and checked thoroughly...with my assistance of course. :)

Thoroughly please with this TV!

Samsung LN52B750 This TV is awesome

I have been researching a LCD HDTV for my parents for a long time. Having been a Samsung owner myself, I knew what to look for. This TV is just great. My dad just absolutely loves it. The color is vibrant and the contrast is great. My brother-in-law got a Sharp LCD and it's like day-and-night between the two. Although the Sharp is much cheaper.

The delivery guys were nice too. They bring the TV inside the house for my mom instead of dropping it off on the driveway.

Notes: when buying Samsung TVs, do not buy any the 5's series. You need to buy at least the 6's series to get decent qualities.

Samsung LN52B750 LCD but Picture of a Plasma

Product arrived with no problems. I bought the LN52B750 52 INCH 1080P 240HZ grey touch off of Amazon wholesale as an "out of box" and saved an additional $300. The TV easily installed and was a snap to set up. If your looking for a TV and can't decide "plasma or LCD" this is the one for you. I wanted the explosive colors of a plasma but wanted more stability and energy efficiency with a LCD. The LN52B750 delivers all of that as you can adjust the picture with various settings such as "natural" and "movie" so that you lose the associated brightness often found in LCD'S. I set my on "natural" for most TV watching since it looks most natural for everyday viewing. XBOX, Cox cable and DVD all look stunning via HDMI cables. (sidenote: i do not see significant gain by going HDMI vs component; the HDMI just saves you from running sound and picture cords)

HDMI: Don't waist your money on Monster at Best Buy. Goto Monoprice or check Cnet for other vendors for much less cost HDMI cables. I bought 25 ft cables for $26 each. Same thing for Monster is like $50-75 and a waist of additional money for no upgrade in picture. In reading , component vs HDMI you will discover no significant picture upgrade. By cables accordingly to your liking. The only benefit of HDMI is one cable houses sound and picture cables. If you dont' plan to use your TV for sound then you don't need HDMI.

Sound: the LN52B750 has sound but not strong sound. I did not buy this TV for it's ability to generate surround sound or deep thundering base. It gets it done for every day TV but if you want movie or music deep sounds run your sound via a amplifier and separate system.

COLOR: My wife did not want a contrasting "red touch of color" which does not go with most fireplace wood tones. In fact it clashes so she wanted a more neutral tone such as black. The Grey Touch of Color looks really great on the wall and blends in with our decor.

SPEED: I see no significant gain 120hz vs 240hz for LCS. Plasma's run on average 600-800hz in comparison.

In summary: I weighed Samsung versus Sony which are the top lines in LCD and Plasma (the best Plasma Pioneer Elite $3000+ ) on the market today. I also weighed LED new technology but all your buying is a thinner and more energy efficient TV with the price nearly 30% to 50% more and not worth the money. The Sony will give you slightly more blacks while the Samsung will provide more white tones. I get both the white and blacks by changing the setting on the Samsung which is the reason I chose this TV. A lot of time spent studying and my efforts paid off. I hope this will help you and recommend the LN52B750. (I did not get paid to promote this TV just an average Joe homeowner)

Samsung LN52B750 TV, Reinvented

All I can say is that Samsung has far exceeded my expectations on this TV. It is my home theater centerpiece. The 1040 HD, 240 Hz refresh not to mention the excellent contrast numbers make watching movies and gaming so realistic. I am glad I waited for the Touch of Grey series. Installation was extremely easy, the fact that I can connect to my PC via wireless (or wired) and watch videos, photos or music on my pc makes this truly a multimedia station. You can also use Yahoo widgets for limited internet access as well. If you are considering a little bit cheaper model due to price, save your money a few more weeks ad buy this TV. I am totally satisfied and I could not have asked for a better quality product.

Samsung LN52B750 Another computer user's review of LN52B750

As is the case with numerous other reviewers, I spent several months reading popular reviews and discussions on different types of LCDs and Plasmas. (Thanks to all the reviewers for the time you spent providing these reviews, by the way. And, boy, they can really shape your expectations.) I was about to get a mid-end plasma along with a PS3, but the spouse didn't want to see the family wasting our time on video games, so I settled on this "high-end" model.

The first shipment arrived, and the delivery guy kindly noted the damages to the box. So, I decided to refuse the delivery. When the second delivery appointment call came in about 10 days later on a Friday, I decided that I couldn't wait until Monday, and asked if I could pick it up myself instead. When I got to the deliverer's, I was surprised to see how large the box was, but it fit in nicely in my SUV, with the 2nd and 3rd row seats flat, of course. (To set it up, though, I had to ask my neighbor for some help. There is definitely a good reason why they deliver and set up these TVs for you at your home.)

Since I do not own a Blueray DVD player yet, I decided to connect the TV to my computer and use it as a second monitor as well. (My first one is a 24" Samsung 244T.) Using an HDMI to DVI connector purchased from Amazon at around five bucks, the screen transferred pretty well from my ATI All-in-Wonder 1800XL to my new LN52B750. I could adjust the screen resolution to 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz (optimal as suggested in the manual--oh, the manual was a physical book, BTW; build date--June 2009--confirmed while registering), and I couldn't sense any flickering at pretty much any resolution it gave me. I've seen plenty of plasma screens that exhibited flickering on computer hookups, and so I was very satisfied with this. The fonts beneath the icons seem a tiny bit fuzzy at a close distance but readable. The fonts when web-browsing or reading word documents are fine, though. The picture quality is excellent for still pictures and videos. I watched several standard definition DVDs with the ATI DVD player (software), and the picture quality is fabulous. I have the audio hooked up from the optical out (from an Intel motherboard) to a Logitech Z5500, which has a decoder embedded. Set up this way, the audio does seem to lag just a little bit, but not enough to ruin the movie. I'm hoping that the audio through a Blueray DVD player will get rid of this issue. (Or perhaps if I connect the audio from the computer to the TV and then connect an optical cable from the TV to the speakers... but I haven't tested this yet.) Watching YouTube through the computer is fine, depending on the picture quality. The HQ or HD videos are very nice.

I also wanted to see how computer games looked like (sorry I only have old ones). Playing Need for Speed Most Wanted really gives you a realistic experience. I also tried Star Wars Battlefront II, and the screen was cool, but I did feel a slight input lag, as one reviewer noted. So unless you play games that require extreme reflex (e.g., Combat Arms), I think it should be fine.

Since I have my TV hooked up to my router with a CAT-5 networking cable, I also tried out the Internet TV features. As other reviewers noted, the load time is dead slow. It's like having to wait for an old OS9 machine or an old Windows machine with only 128mb of RAM to boot up. It's nice that all the information will show up right on top of whatever you're viewing and won't change any channel or input settings. I only tried the weather and the YouTube widgets or whatever you call them. The interface looks really nice, but I agree with the other reviewers that those features are just too slow to actually use them for practical purposes. Perhaps, if you had these widgets on all day, it would be fine. The YouTube videos are fine as well. You can search for videos or choose to watch the featured/popular ones. Again there is a bit of a delay in the search results.

There's also some multimedia content embedded on a USB drive, I guess. They do have some relaxing pictures with music to enjoy. Some content such as art gallery, pictures (various categories), recipes, children's stories, and etc., are downloadable, but the existing memory had just enough space to download one extra category. I think if I attach a USB drive, there should be enough space to get all the free content that I'd want.

The latest accessory I added was a Phillips rabbit ear HD antenna that's about nine dollars. The HD-supported channels look excellent while others are not that nice. Mileage will vary on the aired channels for sure.

By the way, since I'm using the TV at such a close distance, I have the screen mode set to Movie and also have the energy saving set to low. I have not messed around with any other setting, and I find this to be comfortable for me. When I do watch movies at a distance, I sometimes turn the energy saving settings to off.

I think I'll end my review here and provide updates at a later time. Thank you to all the previous reviewers and thanks for taking the time to read mine. If you're reading this, Samsung, please consider providing a firmware update to speed up the Internet TV feature. Thank you!

Samsung LN52B750 Wonderful TV, huge improvement from the A850!

When I originally ordered from Amazon, I bought the LN52A850. The A850 had MAJOR clouding issues on the screen, and after months of service requests and back and forth with Samsung Technicians, I finally was able to get Samsung to exchange my A85 for the LN52B750.

I will say that the B750 is an absolute huge improvement from the A850! The picture is stunning and I am actually pretty impressed with the audio when compared to the A850. And most importantly, I have virtually NO clouding during dark scenes! There is 1 very, very slight cloud that is visible when the screen is completely black and you are in a completely dark room, but even then you have to specifically look for it.

With my A850, I was completely frustrated and distracted when watching it, but the B750 has been all that I expected and more. I'm extremely happy with it. And as a side note, I had a family member over the other day, and she owns a Sony Bravia (50"+ I believe), and when I turned on my Samsung, she stared at it and said "Wow.. what a great picture!" as if she was in awe.

Samsung LN52B750 Great TV

I purchased this TV primarily based on cnet's review. The input of Amazon reviewers was very helpful as well. The picture is very good. There are many adjustments available to get the picture the way you like it. I would recommend cnet's calibration settings as a starting point. AVSforum also has some setting options.

The viewing angle is not great. The picture remains good, just not as good.

The sound on this TV has been discussed many times. The speakers on this TV are fine. Their primary purpose is to provide clear dialogue. This TV does that. I was so concerned about the sound on this TV before buying it that I was going to buy a sound bar with it. After listening to it turned up at a local store, I was satisfied and remain so. I did make some adjustments in the sound menu which also helped.

Samsung LN52B750 perfect

I bought this tv about two weeks ago.To replace a two year old samsung 1080p 46 inch lcd. not even close this 52 inch 750 has the best picture i have ever seen.i even looked at all of the new samsung led tv's. i could not tell a difference in picture quality at all between this tv and the new samsung led. i love this tv you can't go wrong.

Samsung LN52B750 Perfectly satisfied

I haven't yet tried everything on this set, but I'm perfectly satisfied with it. Amazon's order handling was perfect; CIVA's delivery was perfect; hook-up was a breeze; set-up was intuitive (did everything I needed to do without once cracking the manual); and the thing works perfectly. Now THIS is the way to watch the US Open and the Steelers on NFL opening night!

Samsung LN52B750 Great TV and Great Offer from Amazon

I had been researching HDTVs for over 3 months before I finally pulled the trigger on this one. Great picture quality, great size, great features and great offer and price from Amazon.

The one feature that gets zero reviews and focus, but I feel will probably be the wave of the future is its Internet widget capability. The Youtube widget is the one of the biggest innovations in this TV, you will never have to wonder if there's anything good on TV again... I hope the Yahoo and independent developers keep up the good work and we see Hulu, Netflix (1080P), ESPN and Pandora widgets debut soon. Also, a texting friendly remote control would add real teeth to the Twitter widget. The BD live (S/W updates via internet) and DLNA features (havent tried yet) are a nice touch as well. I wont talk about the picture quality because it has been done to death (its good! and at 52 inches of screen area you cannot help but be impressed).

I got this one with the Free Shipping, Free Netbook (Asus eeePC) and $250 Price Coupon offer. The pre-adjustment price of $2199 was a little higher than what it has been recently, but I was tired of watching the price go up and down. All in all features and pricing makes me feel very satisfied with my purchase.

Samsung LN52B750 review

The good news began when the TV was received earlier than predicted. Excellent right out of the box and the picture is first rate. I replaced a 5 year old DLP 50 inch screen with this 52 inch and I cannot be more pleased.

Samsung LN52B750 Unexpected effects

The TV is everything the hype says it is. My wife is very happy with it and the image quality is super. However, the screen is too reflective to my taste (Sony has true non-reflective matte surface) and the room needs to be darkened for comfortable view, and the high-Hz technology makes all movements unnaturally smooth.

Samsung LN52B750 LED HDTV

I bought this through Amazon. It arrived in perfect/ new condition (as everything I've ever bought from them). Got it for a great price too! We compared this TV side by side with a Sony 240hz, at a local retailer. The Samsung had a superior picture and clarity. Blurays are surreal looking! In fact all HD programs are freakistly realistic looking.

Samsung LN52B750 Perfect for me

I have been living with this TV for about 5 months now, and I really can't say too many bad things about this TV. I had high expectations, bt had no idea they would be met so clearly.

Are there things I would like to have improved? Of course. But lets just start a list.

Picture clarity and color: Great. I haven't found the "Perfect" setup yet, but it came very nice out of the box and I am not in a hurry to sit and mess with it for a few hours for what would amount to a small incremental improvement.

Upscaling: Much better than the Receiver I have it hooked up to (Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver (Black)) which by the way is amazing, especially for the price. Use the TV for upscaling, not the receiver.

Performance: Great. I use for Wii, PS3 (Games and Blue Ray), and Digital Cable. No problem with high action games or fast movement. No special settings needed. Just played Batman: Arkham Asylum and Wet (no not adult) with great results.

Sound: Who cares, I use a receiver. But it is fine for a TV.

Size: Awesome, especially from my 10 foot viewing range.

O.K. there are some small gripes, but far from show stoppers.

Media Play through USB: It works great, but certain embedded audio tracks get out of sync more and more through the movie.
Also, COME ON, SAMSUNG! pay for the license for DTS. I have mkv files that I don't want to mux up and not be as good.
Also, would it kill you to be able to play a m2ts file.
I would especially like to see Media Play through eSata Port. No worries of file size then.

The new firmware update did add fast forward and rewind and a couple other nifties, but the above would be better.

Shipping and Service: Amazon was difficult at best on the order. I was on the phone with customer service more than 8 times to get the thing paid for and delivered, and eventially lost the interest free payment I was looking for.

When it was delivered, the box was severely damaged. I almost didn't accept it, but I got on the phone with the Big Screen Department, and they were great. They were ready to ship a new one and pick up the old that same day. I plugged it in and everything worked fine. (Did I mention the entire lower right corner of the box was ripped off, ie dropped). That caused the remote and extra junk to be missing but I ordered that through Samsung and the Big Screen Dept reimbursed me that day.

Aamazon Customer Service: Shame on you. Big Screen Dept Kudos.

Overall great set. When my wife saw I ordered it she said, "Why would we ever need such a big TV?" I looked at her because I didn't even come close to understanding the question.
Now she just looks at me and says, " We really made a great decision with this TV, it is amazing." HMMMPH.

Samsung LN52B750 Best Price

Great TV!! I love the touch of grey, was originally going to get an A series, but when it was time to buy the B series was pretty much the same price. Blu-ray movies look incredible, at times the picture looks fake b/c it's so clear! Watching sports in HD is great, but sometimes the picture blurs. I'm pretty sure it's the HD feed from my cable company and not the TV, b/c some channels are clearer than others.

Samsung LN52B750 Excellent so far!

This TV is everything I expected. It was delivered quick and trouble free. The picture is amazing as you would expect even right out of the box. Some people complained about the speakers which I feel sound fine for TV speakers. I have it connected to 7.1 surround for movies anyway. Also, some complained about the remote, I found it rather intuitive but I have had Samsung products before so I may be used to the arrangement. I would recommend this TV to anyone.

Samsung LN52B750 Awesome TV!,

Pros: Picture color, black levels, no flash lighting, screen uniformity, low heat, no reflection on screen
Cons: Sound quality is fair, but not great for a newer model.

This is one of the best LCD TV that I have ever own. The pictures are really sharp and the contrast is unbelievable. The B750 is a solid performer, i have no flashlighting or screen uniformity problems that plague other TV's...it seems Samsung finally got it right with this model!

I had compared it to the Samsung A750 and B750 surpasses it with higher Hz, contrast ratio, and faster response time. The black levels are incredible on the B750, the 240hz keeps all your images clean and sharp looking even while scrolling and the widgets are nice but more of a novelty than a reason to buy this incredible TV.

Samsung LN52B750 Fantastic...Not a disappointment

I've had this about 24 hours. I hooked up a wireless receiver that I had bought previously for a desktop computer. This was a standalone receiver with a/c power and a ethernet cord for the tv. (not a usb wireless) It was plug and play all the way. No problems. The widgets are pretty intuitive. I was widget surfing while my wife watched Dancing with the Stars,...and got no complaints since they run simultaneously. I was disappointed not to readily find the YouTube widget that was demonstrated in January. Maybe I was looking in the wrong gallery. I believe widgets will catch on.

The picture was great when watching HDTV cable channels. It looks almost 3-D...particularly when there are 3 or so people in the view at different focal lengths from the camera.

I am a little disappointed not to have more inputs (no S-video)...but as I upgrade my dvd player, etc...I can take advantage of the HDMI.

I use a Logitech Harmony universal remote to control my TV, DVD, CABLE Box, Receiver, etc. and noticed that the TV turns on slow, so I sometimes have to press the activity on button on the remote a second time after the TV completely powers up to configure the appropriate input.

So far, so good....and I haven't noticed any bad pixels or clouding.

I'm lovin it.

Samsung LN52B750 Absolutely Stunning!!

Ordered this TV May 10, Received it on the 18th. No problems what-so-ever with shipping or the condition of the unit. Took advantage of the Samsung promotion (300 off) and purchased for $2164.00.

Originally was in the market for a LN52A650 (price watching), but decided to take the plunge with the newer LN52B750, and so far I am tickled to death... everytime I walk through the living room I am mesmirized, the picture quality is hypnotic. Honestly, it is like watching a 3D movie without the glasses! The LN52B750 has a multitude of settings, and I will be playing around on AVs forum fine tuning and tweaking. PS3/blueray are top notch, and the sound is average, but I have it hooked up to an Onkyo surround sound... so it is a non-issue.

Very please with the purchase... price was right (especially considering how long this line has been out), Amazon and Pilot shipping service were excellent.

WARNING: your household chores and yard work will suffer if you purchase this set, all you will want to do is ogle at this thing for hours on end... the eye candy is like a drug... WOW!

Samsung LN52B750 Wow! What a Great TV!

I received my tv yesterday and I love it! I got the $400 off special that Amazon was having and couldn't resist the savings. I was worried that the picture might not be as good as my Sony XBR960 that it was replacing but the picture is every bit as good on high def material. Even the standard definition I am pleased with. (Note: I have everything hooked up via HDMI cables and my source is a HD Cable box from Comcast.) The tv looks great and I love how the tv swivels and tilts in case you need to move it a few degrees. I played Halo 3 on "game mode" and it was awesome! I noticed no lag at all although you do have to use "game mode" to not experience a lag. The 3D in your face soap opera effect does take some getting used to but if you don't like it there are plenty of tweaks to do in the main menu to have that effect go away. Only problem I noticed is the funny shaped remote control....the "up" button does not work at all on my unit. I use a Harmony One remote but still will be returning the Samsung remote for one that works fully. Other than that the tv is awesome and I'm glad I bought it. If your on the fence about buying this tv let me assure you that you will be very pleased unless your a hardcore snobby elitist videophile then I would suggest you go buy a Pioneer Kuro Elite or wait till the technology from the Star Trek Holodeck is available. If anyone has any settings for this tv please list a link. The colors are pretty accurate but I'm sure something could use some tweaking as I really don't feel like spending another $300 in a ISF Calibration. Thanks for reading and I hope this helps.

EDIT: I called Samsung about my remote control problem and within 5 minutes customer service (nice friendly lady) ordered me a new remote and said it should be delivered in 7-10 days. Also should note that Samsung has not outsourced their customer service which after dealing with Amazon and Paypal customer support recently was a welcomed relief.
