I purchased this mid/late last week and it was delivered within aprox 3 business days. Amazon is so good about their deliveries. I purchased this to replace my Samsung LNT5265F TV which was unfortunately damaged in an accident. The Delivery folks came in and setup everything and even disposed of the trash which was awesome.
The original TV was great and I have never had a problem with any Samsung product I have owned. I have two Samsung MP3 Players and a Samsung Electric Range/Oven in my home as well as the this new TV and the previous one. Samsung is a great company.
Originally we were going to get one of Samsung's new LED LCD TV's but to be honest when we saw them in person I was put off by some of the clouding/lighting issues. In a few years I think they will be nice, but not yet. This TV is phenomenal. It has the best blacks and whites I have seen on a TV ever. It is a noticeable improvement over our previous model. It is very sharp and our PS3/Xbox 360/OTA TV looks great on it. The menu system is well designed and I was happy to see that the OTA channels now show what programming is coming next for a few hours similar to a TV guide. The inputs being on one side of the TV (the right hand side) is a nice change and made hook ups much easier. I also like the remote layout, though I wish there was a dedicated "Guide" button. Have not made use of the Network functions yet, but plan to soon. Samsung sells an adapter to connect via LAN that I need to get first. To be honest it would have been nice if they integrated that.
TV sound is not good, but to be honest who doesn't hook this up to a sound system these days? It wasn't bad, it just wasn't something I would enjoy using day in, day out. It sounds very flat and one dimensional. Hook up your audio source to a nice surround sound via fiber optic cables though and you have a winning combo.
Final note, I would highly recommend turning off the Automotion feature when playing games as it can produce some funky effects. The Automotion looks really nice on HD content such as OTA HD or Bluray but still can occasionally produce odd effects. An example, there were some artifacts on the face of characters with stubble and the helicopter blades in certain scenes of Transformers. These artifacts are much less frequent and smaller than the 120hz Automotion on other sets I have seen, but still there. Automotion is very much a preference feature anyways. I love it, but some people don't care for it.
Anyways, I payed just over 2k for this at Amazon when it showed up in my quick picks along with a coupon. If your on the fence between this and LED go with this, you will be happy you did.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.
