There is only one word needed to describe this tv. It is "wow!"
I had for a month the Samsung LN52A850 but returned it for this one. What a great decision! The A850 had a very nice picture but I had clouding and flashlighting problems. This one has neither. Also, the sound was horrendously tinny and muffled. This one is not a replacement for a home theater sound system, but it is at least understandable and good enough for casual daytime watching.
The inky blacks are becoming legendary. You should look up the CNET review, which puts the picture on this set at the top of all fluorescent-light LCD televisions they ever tested. It also has low power consumption, so it is more "green" than most other comparable products.
Many do not like or do not mention the features. Having Flickr access is really fun and opens a new world of content without watching TV. Yahoo videos are a little dated but many are interesting. I like the weather/stock price access but preferred the A850's small instant weather window. This one requires a few clicks and is quite slow. The slowness is not a big deal. If you cannot wait 10 seconds, then maybe you should go back to the office because if you're so stressed, you should be getting paid!
I do not miss my A850 at all. My daughter was watching this LN52B750 with me one day and all of a sudden during an HD animated commercial she said "wow!" I asked her to elaborate and she said the picture was fantastic. She never said this with the A850. My son-in-law says that the picture is much better than the A850.
Check out the CNET editorial review and also check out the AVS forum for the official LN52B750 owners thread. You'll see that there are few reservations about this tv all around. The most serious reservation about it is "black crushing," which causes some details to be lost in dark scenes. OK, so once in a great while the darks seem a little excessive. But that does not happen so often. If you're concerned, then maybe you should take a real careful look at electronics stores. I noticed a tiny bit of black crushing but the more intense colors are quite impressive along with the inky blacks.
I would have liked even better sound (or speaker-level outputs so that I could operate this without our high-fi system being on, and with my old outstanding external speakers from an old dead Sony XBR tv. I would also have liked a paper manual (only some of these come with paper manual, and it depends on the manufacturing date) but I can always download it. Interestingly, the manual on a USB stick is different from the one you can download on Samsung's website!
This tv is a no-brainer. Get it.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.
