Although I was happy with my 30" Philips HDTV, it was simply too small for my 30'x30' living area, and the new flat screens available offer the size and the quality picture I wanted. You cannot buy a television based on written reviews alone, so I visited a couple local retailers. In the stores the pictures that really stood out as crystal clear with dark blacks, and good definition were the Samsungs (Panasonic was probably my second pick). I was really blown away with their new LED televisions - they are simply amazing, but my budget of $2k did not permit a large enough LED. For my budget I narrowed it down to a 58" plasma or this 52" LCD. After a little online research, I decided to go with the LCD primarily because of the plasmas tendancy still to burn in and I intend to use the television as a computer monitor sometimes and view photos, online content, etc.
The television came well packaged, and very easy to get out of the box and on the wall (with the additional wall mount I purchased). Plenty of HDMI inputs allow the setup to be a breeze plug one into the DVD, one into the cable box, another into the receiver, and I still have one spare! BTW - you'll want to exchange that old cable box if you've only got the high def component out on it, took my old one over to Time Warner and they exchanged it with no questions. The right setup is with the HDMI out on the cable box and the category 2 HDMI cables (order these from Amazon too, they are $10 on Amazon and $60 at your local Best Buy).
The internal setup part was pretty straight forward, I didn't have to break out the directions to get the television working properly and the out-of-the-box settings result in a crystal clear picture. I am as pleased with this in my living room as I was impressed in the store. When I finally got around to pulling out the instructions, and setting up the internet connection, then I discovered how easy it was to access music, photos, and videos from my laptop - with a couple clicks I was viewing a slideshow of my last vacation on this huge screen with no more hardware than a router and my laptop streamed over my home network.
I have had the television now for a couple weeks and am very happy with my purchase. Setup was very simple, the menu and interface is easy, and the picture is simply amazing. The improvements that Samsung has made to this B series over the former A series are very evident. The additional features and technologies included in this product are the icing on the cake.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.
