Beautiful Picture
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The picture quality on this model is fantastic. The customer service from Amazon is 5 Star. However, I experience severe HDMI sync issues (video dropout) with the new Denon products such as AVR-4310 and the DBP-2010 which I purchased from Listen Up in Denver. I told them (Listen Up) I was keeping the TV and they could have the Denon gear back. The first weekend after the custom install from Listen Up, a new firmware update came out and trashed the newly installed receiver. I then had to take it to Denver and have it replaced right after spending thousands of dollars on the custom install. After almost three months of trying various solutions it still doesn’t work. Be forewarned, don’t buy new Denon with new Samsung HDTV’s. You won’t be pleased.
Samsung LN52B750 review
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The good news began when the TV was received earlier than predicted. Excellent right out of the box and the picture is first rate. I replaced a 5 year old DLP 50 inch screen with this 52 inch and I cannot be more pleased.
Excellent Pictures !!!!

A caution about this LCD before the praises…..
1. It is wide…you need a second pair of hands to help you get it out of the box and mount it, if you are like me who was eager to mount it all by myself, you will end up with acute low back pain..oooh.
2. This TV uses liquid crystals, so it is advisable to let it stand for 45 minutes before turning on the power,after all the shaking while getting it out of the box.
3. Do not dispose of the large box it came in,it will be hard to find a box this large just in case you got a faulty set and have to send it back.
4.Prices are coming down, shop around and buy from a retailer that will price match for you.
5.Samsung has an awful customer service buy from a retailer with a reliable warranty history.
Now to the review…….
Like most reviewers, I had spent months researching into LCDS and came out impressed with Sony V100, XBR6, XBR8(LED),Samsung B750 and B8000(LED).The Samsung B750 came out tops in all categories combininig the strengths from each one into one beautiful TV ….
I will not go into much technicalities as one of the reviewers here “EarlyMon” did a fantastic job and is more techsavvy.I will only say that I am more than happy with my purchase.
However, I shall add that the future of HDTV will be either LED or OLED.The technology on LED/OLED TV has not been perfected and will not be until 3 to 5 years down the road.So, why did I go for a CCRT LCD TV rather than for a LED TV?
Very simple.It is the best LCD in the market as of today Sept14th,2009 and might be for a long time to come.A point supported by both professional reviewers and users.
The Samsung B750 beats the LED Sony XBR8 (too pricey) and Samsung B8000 (uneven pixation). It compares very well with black scenes in both LED TVs, the white may not be as white as the LED TVs, but IT does not give the unnatural blue hue the LED TVs add to white color, perhaps that is why they seem to produce a whiter white.Just like the LED tv, the Samsung LN52B750 does not produce harsh pictures nor are the pictures scrabby.
The B750 has a practical wider viewing angle than both LED TVs mentioned above. It also has a better uniformity of colours.Do not get me wrong the LED TVs give very impressive pictures but since they are still in what I shall call beta stages, the prices on them are rather high for their current performances compared to what they are capable of doing.Just Like when Plasmas came out some years back, they were pricey, average cost was $4000.00 for the low end models.Inspite of their high prices then, yesterday’s Plasmas in terms of performance are not as good as today’s Plasmas which cost far less. They went through a period of fine tuning during which time their prices came down.Could you imagine buying a 46in Plasma for $900:00 in 2004.Yet today you could get one for that amount with little issue of burn in and better performance. A similar scenario will be played out with the LED TVs of today. So while waiting for LED technology to be perfected, it makes reasonable sense to buy an excellent TV at a “reasonable cost” to enjoy for the next 5 or so many years before the LED TVs get perfected or near “perfection”.
To be honest, as much as Samsung tried to eliminate glare, this TV does have a minimum of glare compared to older Samsung LCDs but it is very minimal.If you have not noticed the glare on your laptop, desktop or your old CRT tv, then you will not be bothered by glare on this TV with the improved anti-glare technology.
If you are an enthusiast of Nature,fast action movies or sports, this is the TV for you. This TV shows leaves in a tree distinctively not just a bunch or cluster of green like most TVs do.You see clearly the individual droplets of water, as a wave breaks not just a splash of whitishblue.With fast movies or sports, no blurr or motion artifacts are seen.Colors are naturally vivid.No leaking of colors.
Do you need calibration? Yes, you do. Out of the box, the picture it gives is very impressive.Bear in mind that the manufacturers do not know anything about your living room light condition but they have a fairly good knowledge of what the light condition of a retailer’s electronic dept is like.An since, the manufacturers do not know which of their TVs will be displayed by a particular retailer, they adjust the settings on all of their TVs coming out of the production line to meet the light conditions of a retailer which most time is a very bright light condition.They want their TV to look brighter,sharper and more crisp than their competitors’. This might mean less than an optimal picture quality for your room and more energy cost for you. Calibration has also been touted to prolong the life of the pixels.So if you can afford the 2 grand on this TV why can’t you pick up a calibrating disc for $30.00 or less, to get an optimal performance, lower energy cost and prolong the life span of your TV?
If you decide to calibrate your TV,it is adviced to let your new TV break in, like a new car before making the adjustment.Some suggest as few as 24 hrs of regular TV watching others have suggested 1 month.I calibrated mine after 45 hrs of regular TV watching.The difference in picture quality after calibration is like NIGHT and DAY.
There are quite some good calibrating discs out there but the best for video is “High Deifinition Benchamrk by Spears & Munsil”. This is very simple to use, the instructions are very elementary.I recommend the Blu-ray edition, if you have a Blu-ray player. For audiophiles, “AIX RECORDS” audio calibration disc is a winner. It has HD music sampler.For those with surround system, it will test the output and locate the positions of each of your speakers one by one for you.Both discs can be purchased online and for those who purchase the OPPO-BD 83 Blu-ray player,it is an added bonus.
However, for those who do not want to buy a calibration disc or pay for a professionl calibration service, here is an ABC of do it yourself calibration.
The primary features involved in calibration are, brightness,contrast,sharpness,color and hue.
Brightness:
This controls the depth of the blackness.Slot in a DVD movie into your DVD player and look for a night scene with someone wearing a black suit.Adjust the brightness control until you can make out clearly the edges of the suit lapel and the breast pocket of the black suit.
Contrast:
Controls the white. Look for a scene of someone wearing a white shirt.Adjust the contrast control until you can make out clearly the white buttons on the white shirt.
Sharpness:
Slot in a sports DVD e.g football,athletes meet, lawn tennis match etc.Look for a scene with line markings.Play with the adjust control from minimum to maximum and watch the line markings as you do so, the lines will have doubles or ghost images.Adjust the control slowly until the double or triple lines become one line or the ghost images of the line dissappears, leaving you with a single line.
Color:
Hopefully, you are not color blind.If you are,ask a friend to help you with this adjustment.This adjustment depends on what you appreciate of skin tone.Focus on the color of the skin of the actors, usually the face.Play with the control up and down and see how the skin color changes.Adjust the control more slowly until you get a match close to what the person’s color would look like to you,were the person standing close to you.Hopefully, you are not in the habit of looking for aliens or martians.
Hue:
Also refers to color.Look for a color like red, blue or green and adjust the control to get the nearest match of that color in real life.
These tips are to help you make a decision between the best available HDTV to date.And if you are like me who was debating between a CCRT LCD OR LED LCD, I hope that I have provided sufficient reasons why I went for a CCRT LCD rather than a LED LCD for now. I might upgrade to a LED TV in five years from now.
Happy viewing on your new TV. You can not go wrong on Samsung LN52B750 !!!
Great TV and Great Offer from Amazon
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I had been researching HDTVs for over 3 months before I finally pulled the trigger on this one. Great picture quality, great size, great features and great offer and price from Amazon.
The one feature that gets zero reviews and focus, but I feel will probably be the wave of the future is its Internet widget capability. The Youtube widget is the one of the biggest innovations in this TV, you will never have to wonder if there’s anything good on TV again… I hope the Yahoo and independent developers keep up the good work and we see Hulu, Netflix (1080P), ESPN and Pandora widgets debut soon. Also, a texting friendly remote control would add real teeth to the Twitter widget. The BD live (S/W updates via internet) and DLNA features (havent tried yet) are a nice touch as well. I wont talk about the picture quality because it has been done to death (its good! and at 52 inches of screen area you cannot help but be impressed).
I got this one with the Free Shipping, Free Netbook (Asus eeePC) and $250 Price Coupon offer. The pre-adjustment price of $2199 was a little higher than what it has been recently, but I was tired of watching the price go up and down. All in all features and pricing makes me feel very satisfied with my purchase.

Ordered my Samsung 52b750 from Amazon, got my shipping for free with a lap top included in the price. When the tv was delivered to my door I received “White Glove Service” the carrier used was wonderful. I received all my items soon than expected. Great service and will continue to order from Amazon
Great So Far
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I ordered this tv from amazon. Just 1 week has passed while I am writing this review.
This is working great so far.
* Sound is OK (can’t compare to a home theater system)
* Picture quality is great.
* The DLNA feature is great.
* Yahoo Widgets are great. Can’t wait to get more widgets available.
You should also try the TwonkyMedia player. Google it.
It can play a large variety of media available on internet directly to your tv. No need to setup a streaming server.
- However the remote is a problem.
The tv’s response to the remote is very late. Sometimes I have to click the button 3-4 times to to just change the channels. I have tried changing batteries but nothing works.
May be I received a faulty piece.
- Another thing about this tv is it can connect to WiFi network ONLY through Samsung Wifi adapter (available separately for $75 – $90). It seems ridiculous to me. It is not an issue for me because I am connecting it through a ethernet cable, but for some other consumers it can be a problem.
- Also the ethernet connection DOES NOT work if you directly connect it to your cable modem. The connection HAS to go through a router otherwise it does not detect the network.
Overall it is good so far. I am giving it 4 starts because of the remote.
Great TV but very reflective screen.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
We purchased the Samsung LN52B750 on 8-08-09 so we have had it about two months now. We are very happy with the TV. The pitcure is great, the remote is easy to understand and it is a nice looking set. The only draw back is the screen is very reflective. at night if you are watch any program that has a dark scene you can see the table lamps in the picture.
Amazon warehouse open box? Why not!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I ordered this from Amazon warehouse, almost $600 less for an opened box. After reading through every descriptions of all open box items, found an item that does not say “Minor cosmetic damage on housing”, and I received a shinning new item or I’m unable to say the deference by looking at it. All stickers were there, all the papers were there and it looks and works excellent.
Before I order, I contact Amazon regarding warrantee and they said “Though warranty coverage for Warehouse Deals items will depend on the manufacturer, we cannot guarantee that a Warehouse Deals item will be covered by a manufacturer’s warranty”. I was little worried, I registered the TV in Samsung site, and the site said “No warrantee information available”. I was worried again. But after a day, site displayed I have 12 months parts and labor warranty and Samsung have added extra 3 month for registering with them. So total 15 months. Good. Also I purchase 3 year extended warrantee from SquareTrade for around 120$ after discount. (Google for coupon codes) .
Delivery does not covered by Amazon prime. Service is good enough. The single delivery guy could not bring the box upstairs alone. But he unpacked it, plugged it and make sure it works.
The TV deserved 5 stars too – Planet Earth BluRay almost looks real, but kind of disappointed with sound. For a TV that cost $2000+, I expected bit more quality sound than my transistor radio. But it is big, beautiful and nice to sit front of.
Fantastic LCD, Amazon is great!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Picked up this beauty with a coupon code posted within the Amazon product discussions. Made it an amazing deal.
Packed with features, excellent picture quality out of the box, and just a beautiful picture quality (not to mention the physical aesthetics).
On a side note, Pilot’s white glove delivery exceeded my expectations. Ordered on Monday evening, estimated delivery was a week later, but it arrived early on Thursday. The scheduling was smooth, they called at the beginning of the window, and the delivery crew was here within 20 minutes.
I highly recommend this TV, as well as Amazon.
Samsung 52 inch LCD TV
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Bought out tv through Amazon. This is the second Samsung LCD we purchased through Amazon and the second experience was as good as the first. The price was better than most and the TV was at my door in four days. The delivery agent was great and even brought the Tv in the house and unpacked the Tv to check for any damage.
The Tv is what we expected. Great picture and features. We checked out the model locally before ordering. We also priced it locally and had to go with Amazon. Great all around purchase.
a really nice TV.

HD TVs Rock!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
We decided to join the 21st Century with three new HD TVs from Amazon. All three are perfect for our needs, but the 52″ Samsung 750 was an excellent choice for our family room. After a month,we are still mesmerized by the quality of the picture…especially the vibrant colors. It’s amazing that Amazon can sell such a great product for the price they do, and for the fast delivery. We’re sold on Samsung…and Amazon!

Receiving the box without noting more de tv and noting else.
After 2 months i still don’t have remote control end everything else except power cord.
Minimum 15 hours on the phone with costumer service for noting! Totality retarded !
Almost perfect, but too perfect
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
There is no perfection in this world! This tv is so clear so perfect that it makes me nervous when I watch tv. I had to change the settings so it doesn’t appear to be so clear. I recommend spend less money on a tv, and wanting to return this item for a lower end one but changed my mind because of the size of the tv is not really that mobile.

We have had this tv for about 30 days now and really enjoy the quality. The picture is what the other reviewers said it was. The shipper brought the tv in unpacked it and hooked it up. They were very careful and professional.
My wife and I watch a lot recorded television in the evenings when we have time to sit down and enjoy it. This tv has really brought more enjoyment into the experience. There is more detail and color than the tv we replaced.
