5 Stars samsungLN52B750 LCD TV
Had compared this tv w/the new LED tv’s, not much of a difference. With all the great reviews on Amazon, decided to purchase from Amazon. Received a great price and the Sony S360 blu ray player free, plus free shipping. First off, turned down the contrast and axed the unnecessary enhancements, WOW, what a great picture. Pairing w/Sony 5000es blu ray player, blu rays look awesome, only played 1 regular dvd, Alice in Chains, Unplugged (plcture looked fantastic)so upconverting definitely shines. This is an attractive lcd tv, at least to me. Further down the road will have it calibrated, I’m a bit color blind and would prefer a pro set it up correctly to my room. Have no problems w/the tv so far. First day after set-up, watched movies from early in the morning to early evening, nice day at the movies. Pilot delivery was actually a few days early, carried into the house and left it in the front room. Happy w/their performance… Really enjoy dealing w/Amazon… Thanks again, John in Ben Lomond, CA

4 Stars My First Flat Panel
I got this TV from a B&M store on Father’s day. The box barely fit into a Honda Odyssey so shipping seems like a good option if you don’t have a truck or mini van.

I like how the stand isn’t attached because I directly hung this onto a wall mount.

The picture is great and 240hz shows HD content silky smooth. The sound quality isn’t that impressive, but I guess it’s acceptable for a flat panel.

My only dislike about the TV is when ever I turn it on, I hear this buzzing noise that sounds like a loud static buzz/hiss that plays on top of the musical intro noise. This sound varies each time I turn the TV on and I heard it was related to some transformer issue, but I’m not sure. I can live with it and I’m not about to return a TV because of this minor defect.

I couldn’t tell any difference comparing the LED version and this TV to justify the price increase so I didn’t go with the LED one. I suppose the LED one may have a longer life, but I figure by then they will have even better TV’s.

The remote has weird curve at the bottom which bothers some people. Also I found that toggling between video sources has awkward delays that make me mess up which input i’d like to select.

The speaker outputs didn’t seem adjustable by using the volume control on the TV, though there might be a setting I don’t know about.

All in all, I’m pleased with the television, but it’s not “perfect” so I can’t give it 5 stars.

3 Stars cc- not working on HDMI
This TV looks great, both HD and Standard def, but the HDMI inputs do not support closed-captioning.

The component inputs work, but whats the point of having HDMI interface- yet connect component inputs?

I am thinking of returning this.

5 Stars Best LCD I’ve Seen
Our 5-year-old projection LCD was getting fuzzy so we finally decided to spring for a new one. What a difference! The blacks are ebony. The images are sparkly clear. The colors are brilliant. The reflections, although faintly there if you look for them, are not bothersome at all. The low def pictures are better than the hi def ones were on the old set. I absolutely cannot make the image disappear no matter what angle my eyes are to the set–directly above, off to the side, or down below–so its viewing angle, for me, is every bit as good as any plasma or CRT. I haven’t yet noticed any fast motion blur, but to be fair, I never noticed any on the old set, either. Thus, the 240Hz doesn’t seem to be very important, although we haven’t tried watching a fast moving sporting event with it turned off. The only comparison between the old and the new, where the B750 isn’t as good, is the sound. But, hey, we really didn’t expect much anyway; we realized how tough it is to hide high fidelity speakers in a 2″ thick TV whose front is almost all picture. We expected to have to augment the sound with a separate sound system, so we were not disappointed with that.

The delivery guy didn’t have any white gloves, but I really can’t complain about his work. He didn’t spend a lot of time with us, but he did hook up our components and turn it on, so I can’t complain about that either.

The features of this set are many, and some we have not yet tried, but the main reason we have a TV in the first place is program watching, and that has become a hugely satisfying experience with the LN52B750.

1 Star Avoid Samsung products! Horrible Customer Service
We purchased this dryer as a set March 29th 2009. June 25th 2009: The dryer failed with and upside down F5. We contacted Samsung and started a ticket. They told us there was not a service center available and they would send this to the “back office” and within 5 days we should have support. I called back the following week and was told the same thing.

I called the True Value store where we purchased the combo and they said they were authorized to service this product. True Value called in to Samsung ASC (Authorized Service Center) helpline and got the part numbers needed for repair. The parts were on backorder. It is now July 15 2009 and the parts are still on back order. I have called 38 times to Samsung with no resolution. Samsung said I voided my warranty because the ASC was not an ASC. Samsung decided that wasn’t true and have reinstated my warranty.

Samsung closed my ticket and said it was complete because the parts were on backorder and when we received the parts the dryer would be fixed. Samsung decided that wasn’t true and have reopened my help ticket. THANK GOD for Discover. We called Discover and they said it was unacceptable and have given us the credit ($1800) for the combo and have decided to seek reimbursement from Samsung. HA!

Now, I am not saying DON’T buy Samsung, I just saying “Don’t say you weren’t warned.” I will never ever, ever buy Samsung again. I hope I have saved someone the pain of a month without a dryer and a serious headache.
