User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Great LCD TV!!!
This television is excellent!! It’s black levels are very deep, contributing to excellent shadow detail in dark viewing material. The screen is highly uniform with no noticeable bright areas or stuck pixels. The colors are accurate and vibrant. The 240Hz processing works pretty well, smoothing out motion blur and reducing judder, but the effect takes some getting used to. Even standard definition TV looks pretty good on this set, but doesn’t hold a candle to any HD content. Highly recommended!!

5 Stars My first Sports Worthy LCD, 240Hz Makes a Big Difference
This was the last of four CRT TVs that I replaced with flat panels and I now have two Plasmas and two LCDs. I ordered from Amazon and they used a delivery company called Pilot. Pilot called me four days after I placed the order to report that it had arrived in the Boston area and set up a delivery appointment. Pilot showed up on time and put the boxed TV in the room of my choice. The set weighs just over 30 pounds and setup was a no-brainer. Don’t be bothered by the paucity of paper instructions; It’s all on a USB drive that fits into one of the TVs USB connectors. I haven’t even needed mine.

As for performance, the 240Hz appears to completely eliminate the “LCD Motion Blur” that makes my older Samsung 60Hz unacceptable for fast moving sports. I may have to update this after the NFL season starts, but for now it appears to be on a par with my plasmas — something I had not expected. Overall, I would rank the picture quality as excellent.

One comment on aesthetics: I like the plain black frame a lot better than the bright red “touch of color” that surrounds most of the other Samsungs.

Overall I’m very happy with the TV and with the Amazon buying experience. I would recommend it to anyone buying a new TV.

4 Stars Very nice TV for a little bit of a premium.
This TV is a bit more than I needed, but I know that going into purchasing.

I like the there is no red color in the bezel. The picture is very good, it really feels that the foreground movement is separated from the background. This gives everything the feel of 3D. I don’t know if this is from the motion plus smoothing or if this is normal on newer TVs. It feels weird to watch, but I might get used to it.

The widgets and add-ons are neat, but gimmicky. The processing behind them is slow so there is a lot of lag in the controls.

The media connectivity to me seems pretty aweful. THere may be some settings I have not found yet, but I tried to play a DIVX TV show from my computer using the software provided. The TV played the video but the aspect ratio was way off, it placed the video in the center of the screen, it was very small as well. In comparison if I play the same video from my PlayStation 3 it looks fantastic on the screen.

The connection options are fantastic, lots of choices.

The delivery process was great. They brought the TV to where I wanted it, but did not wait for me to plug it in and test as others had stated.

Picture: looks great for blu-ray movies and the few HD channels that I pull in without a box.

Sound: I do not use the built in speakers

Extras: widgets and extras are neat, but gimmicky, slow, and not terrible useful.

Value: A little expensive, but it’s a new TV so thats to be expected, I feel that it is worth what I paid.

5 Stars Samsung LN40B750
Five stars for this great unit! Samsung hit another winner with this product. Picture perfect, easy set up and really decent sound. Easy to use lighted remote. No motion worries with the latest 240hz setup.

Grey touch of color is very attractive. Swivel base works great for viewing at different locations in my family room with no problems viewing at any angle. No problems with screen reflections either.

Menus are easy to walk through for any user adjustments.

I also purchased and installed the wireless USB device. Easy to install and set up also.

I would highly recommend this set to anyone.

5 Stars Great TV
I’m really pleased with the whole process of ordering, delivery and set up, and I’m especially pleased with the TV. We already have a smaller Samsung LCD flat panel so buying the LN40B750 was a no brainer. I watch a lot of sports and with the 240Hz motion capability, I don’t notice any motion distortion. Set up was easy, the picture quality is top notch and the wife can’t get me out of my recliner!
