Samsung LN52B750 HD TVs Rock!

We decided to join the 21st Century with three new HD TVs from Amazon. All three are perfect for our needs, but the 52" Samsung 750 was an excellent choice for our family room. After a month,we are still mesmerized by the quality of the picture...especially the vibrant colors. It's amazing that Amazon can sell such a great product for the price they do, and for the fast delivery. We're sold on Samsung...and Amazon!

Samsung LN52B750 Beautiful Picture

The picture quality on this model is fantastic. The customer service from Amazon is 5 Star. However, I experience severe HDMI sync issues (video dropout) with the new Denon products such as AVR-4310 and the DBP-2010 which I purchased from Listen Up in Denver. I told them (Listen Up) I was keeping the TV and they could have the Denon gear back. The first weekend after the custom install from Listen Up, a new firmware update came out and trashed the newly installed receiver. I then had to take it to Denver and have it replaced right after spending thousands of dollars on the custom install. After almost three months of trying various solutions it still doesn't work. Be forewarned, don't buy new Denon with new Samsung HDTV's. You won't be pleased.

Samsung LN52B750 Best Price

Ordered my Samsung 52b750 from Amazon, got my shipping for free with a lap top included in the price. When the tv was delivered to my door I received "White Glove Service" the carrier used was wonderful. I received all my items soon than expected. Great service and will continue to order from Amazon

Samsung LN52B750 SamsungLN52B750

We have had this tv for about 30 days now and really enjoy the quality. The picture is what the other reviewers said it was. The shipper brought the tv in unpacked it and hooked it up. They were very careful and professional.
My wife and I watch a lot recorded television in the evenings when we have time to sit down and enjoy it. This tv has really brought more enjoyment into the experience. There is more detail and color than the tv we replaced.

Samsung LN52B750 Amazingly Clear Picture

This is my second HDTV and its absolutely great. The picture is very crisp and football very fun to watch! Would be happy to answer any questions if you would like but overall its just a great tv. Feel free to email.

Samsung LN52B750 I had to buy a rug to stop the jaw-dropping-injuries

This TV is fantastic. I see some non-conformity in lighting on some all-black-frame situations but it doesn't bother me at all and I ONLY see it on 100% black situations.

I was used to 120 Hz Samsung TVs before I got this so it was not a giant thrill for me to see the 240 Hz... but... it turns out all of my family and friends had never seen 120 Hz so they were BLOWN away. I got the dumbest questions about why it looked so other-worldly-amazing it was really funny.

"Is this disc something above Blu Ray?"
"Is your receiver doing something to make it look this good?"
"This movie must have been filmed some new way I've never seen because it looks so good!! Was it?"

Haha I loved it.

Impossible to be disappointed with this TV's picture, physical profile, menu, remote control, connectivity to the internet... and on and on.

Samsung LN52B750 WOW! Incredible picture!

Absolutely incredible picture right out of the box! We've had a rear projection TV for years and this is our first LCD so we were worried about motion blur. NONE noticed. Sporting events look phenomenal. The detail is unheard of. There was a recommendation to turn Dynamic Contrast off. But this is what gives the details such as faces in the crowd, blades of grass, etc. We love it and have played around with the picture settings but have decided so far not to adjust any of them. We like the crisp, detailed image.

I am no technical wiz, but I suggest changing the audio since the default "custom" sounds hallow. There are many great audio options in the menu settings. We are happy with "standard". Be aware however that certain features such as Game mode only work with "custom" audio. Kind of a bummer. We just won't experiment with game mode. Obviously for those using a surround system none of this matters. We are happy with the TVs audio after changing the setting.

Screen glare was another concern, but worth the risk for the improved features on this TV. Ours is next to a sliding glass door and faces two large windows. When the TV is off, the glare is like a mirror. However, when on, glare is hardly noticable. Yeah, if you look for it you can find it, but it does not affect the viewing pleasure whatsoever. Pretty remarkable.

As far as delivery, Pilot service was good. BUT it was delivered from Amazon quickly, then sat at their warehouse for a week before making it to our home. Evidently they have been getting swamped with this order so things are backed up. Due to freezing temps they were unable to plug it in for us and test things, but they took it out of the box, attached the stand and placed in on our table. Pretty nice.

Overall, we are thrilled with this TV!

Samsung LN52B750 I couldn't be happier!

I am writing this review as a former ln46a650 with red touch of color owner. The quality of that set is tremendous but its small size and red color got annoying after a while. I sold the other one and picked up this bad boy for about $1760 last month and wanted to give it some time before writing a review. The piano black finish with the barely noticeable gray at the bottom looks excellent and high class. The touch of color is no longer a distraction. The 240 hz is very smooth and makes all movies including older movies like those from the 50s and 60s on HD channels look very crisp. The blacks are deep and you can tell the contrast ratio is top notch. 1080i uverse looks great. The preloaded art content really shows off the quality of the TV when displaying quality content. You can wow your sophisticated friends with this one. There are about 7-8 impressionist paintings and you should really check out the Manet in a boat one. I don't use any of the widgets as they are laggy and kinda useless. If you are looking for an LCD that has all the features and you wont have to upgrade for a very long time, I'd grab this one with a promo code. The USB input is a nice feature too. The only drawback is I wish they made a 55 inch version of this or bigger. I use a 5.1 yamaha surround system so I cant comment on the audio quality, but who buys an LCD for the sound anyway??

Samsung LN52B750 Flawless product

I've owned this TV for around six weeks... Could not be happier with it. The picture quality is perfect pretty much out of the box, although there are a few preset video/audio types which fine tune it based upon what you're watching (e.g. sport, vs movie).

I use the DLNA features extensively, streaming movies from my Mac to the TV. I use the wired Ethernet port built in, however there is a wireless option which I have not tried. It's perfectly happy streaming 1080p video over DLNA and the interface to manage the data isn't horrible either.

I paired it with a Samsung HD-BD3252 HT system, which rounds out the setup pretty nicely. The audio from the TV as default is pretty good, but the HT addition really sets it apart.

Samsung LN52B750 not a videophile

I am not a videophile or audiophile. This is my first HD TV and my first venture into the DLP/plasma/LCD/LED world...I am a novice. I bought my set on November 18, 2009 after a few days of research...most of it from the Amazon site. My set worked perfectly out of the box. I got an easily readable paper manual in the box. The remote works fine and is easy to figure out. The onscreen directions are among the best I've ever seen. However, my frame of reference is a 5 year old Sharp TV which had horrible documentation and worse onscreen prompting. There is minimal glare from lights and the nearby floor to ceiling windows (but even if there was, I could close the blinds), the black on the screen is very black, the blue is very blue, the red is very red, without calibrating anything, and the internal speakers sound very good. The set has wonderful features...most of which I will never use...

I bought this set to get a sharp picture. I am a college basketball fan, and I can tell you that I can easily see the names on the jerseys of the players on my alma mater's basketball team...from eleven feet away. I can also see the acne scars on the coaches face, the freckles on the boyish star center's nose (which I had no idea he had from my former TV), the sweat beading up on their faces, and their footprints on the arena floor...I got more than I expected.

For the rest of you novices out there who want a great television, I would suggest that this set will EXCEED your expectations

Samsung LN52B750 Worth the money!

Don't let someone tell you that you will get as good a picture from a comparable $800 big-box special because you won't! Much of what needs to be said has already been said so I will only reinforce the stunning picture quality of this tv. Most people will never see HD at its full potential, be it blu-ray, the airwaves, cable or the dish. You will never look at a picture and think the tv is a window unless you're connected directly to the source, digital compression is the culprit. Anyone that thinks otherwise either needs an eye exam or seriously has not seen true hd, sorry, the FCC, rules of the airwaves and greed will always hold the quality back. With that being said, out of the box this tv looks about as close as you're going to get. Over the air signal is probably the least compressed followed by either blu-ray or cable (How do you think the dish people get so many channels on their birds anyway? Heavy compression - No, I am not slamming the dish, just stating a fact)
To show how good the picture is out of the box, very little needs to be changed to achieve full professional calibration. Even watching dvds this tv has a way of making them look clear as glass. I recommend NOT using an upconverting dvd player/HDMI as it passes on digital compression, if you use Component instead, the tv is expecting a certain amount of analog noise, the input filters do their job and it looks fantastic. Want proof? Watch the intro to Stargate SG-1, say the last season, the Antarctic scene is very full of digital noise if you use the HDMI input, try it again with Component, it's almost speckle free. Same series, any episode, when they're in the Colonel's office sitting, the door is usually open at a 45 degree angle. HDMI, very speckled, Component is almost perfect. The input filter doesn't appear to cut down the resolution of the image, it just handles digital noise differently.

Cons - I bought this tv because of the bad reviews on the LED series sets. The complaints that the menus were slow as if they had to 'load' each option and that certain functions were greyed out/inaccessible. Well, much to my disappointment I downloaded a setup guide from tweaktv and started plugging away on this tv. Calibrating this set according to the guide is no substitute for a professional but based on modern manufacturing techniques, you can come pretty damn close as every unit is close to identical! The same problems that plague the LED series exist here as well. The menus are so slow to pop up sometimes you wonder how well the remote reception is working as it is quite nonresponsive. Certain items were greyed out/inaccessible much like the review of the LED series. I have asked around how to overcome this issue and no-one knows, even Samsung is unable to provide a useful answer. To change video sources, much like the LED series you have to hit several buttons. I don't remember my 71 series being this difficult because it wasn't.

Don't let my Cons be a deterrent to purchasing this tv or even the LED series, how often do you go into the menus or switch video sources? It's only a minor annoyance on an otherwise great tv.

It should be noted they released a firmware update on Nov 9th, I am in the process of downloading it now on my slow connection, what it addresses is to be seen, I didn't see any readme notes prior to downloading.

Samsung LN52B750 B750 model is awesome!

When i was looking for a tv and had to choose between LED and LCD.. the picture to me seemed exactly the same... the only other difference was how slim the LED's are.. and i wasn't going to wall mount it so that didn't matter.. this tv was the best choice out there and i got it! and i looove it!

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 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.
