I have been using this TV for just over a month. Amazon was very quick to deliver using their standard free shipping. The shipping company delivered the TV, unboxed it, set it up, ensured I tested it, and took the box away. The delivery was 5 stars.
This is my first LCD TV, and I was quite impressed. The picture is great. The sound is just okay, but based on prior reviewed, is what I expected.
The remote control is mediocre. I would have liked it to be usable for my LG Blu-Ray player and my Comcast cable box.
The internet connectivity is not worth connecting the internet to the TV. Yahoo has tons of widgets, and many TV widgets, but only less than 20 of these are available on this TV. I would have loved a Facebook, eBay, and other widgets available for other TVs, but not available for this TV.
I was able to get the Comcast remote to control this TV (with the Comcast remote, use code 0060). I was also able to get the LG Blu Ray player to control the TV.
Wish List: It would be nice if the TV had a cablecard slot. I need a Comcast cable box, and if the TV had a cablecard slot, I would be able to use the Samsung remote for my TV.
I also wish that the TV had many more internet capable features. For example, Netflix streaming, YouTube streaming, photos from services like Shutterfly and Picassa. Even web browsing would have been very nice.
The TV requires a proprietary wireless adapter if you want to connect the PC to your wireless router. The good news is the adapter is 802.11 n/g/b. The bad news, Samsung requires you to use their overpriced adapter. I received mine at no charge as a rebate, and if I did not, I would not have been happy due to the limited features available via the adapter.
A nice to have would be much stronger parental controls (limiting the time that each child could use the TV, and having them login to see the TV).
Summary: The TV picture is excellent, remote and sound are just okay, internet features need much improvement. Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.
