Samsung LN40A750 40-Inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color

This TV is the best by far of all televisions/flat screens I have purchased. Picture quality is great, the clarity of the picture is incredible. The price from amazon was also the best around. I would highly recommend this TV and also purchasing from Amazon. Delivery was prompt, notice of delivery confirmation was accurate.

Excellent picture, easy to operate controls. However, the sound is muffled on all settings. We had better sound from our 28-year-old Zenith.

UPDATE 08/27/2008: I had a open electric outlet and as this was one of the suspects, I got it fixed day before yesterday and happy to tell you that the humming noise went away completely.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Pros: Picture is excellent as expected. Menu is good and has lot of options. With InfoLink (LAN cable connected to the TV) you can see news, weather and stock updates from USA Today. Backlit Remote.

Cons: With Auto Volume ON I hear humming noise which is constant and annoying. Even with Auto Volume OFF, it is still there but you dont usually hear it unless you mute the cable box. This is happening only with the Cable Box Component and Composite AV inputs. Cable Box Coaxial, HDMI connections and DVD player Component/Composite input dont seem to give the noise. When watching in dark, very thin shining on left/right outer glass edges if you sit at an angle is slightly distracting.

I am still thinking whether to keep this TV or return it but not sure if I can find a better TV in 40" and with good features this TV has. If I keep it I am going to need to buy a Home Theater system so that I can turn off TV speakers.

Reported the issue to Samsung. Technician came to my place after two days and suggested to use HDMI instead of Component AV cable. He also said this is common, known issue and has seen many times but may not happen in every house even with the same TV model.

I have been using Sony 17" LCD TV/Monitor until I bought this Samsung two weeks back and I dont hear the humming noise with the auto volume on, except once while technician is trying to test Samsung with a DVD player and working on connections, all of a sudden it(Sony) started humming otherwise Sony is good. Both Sony and Samsung TVs have two 10W Speakers and a Subwoofer. I showed him the difference between two but he could not tell why Samsung makes noise when Sony does not.

Currently there are 27 reviews about this product and none of them mentioned this issue. I dont know if they all are using HDMI or Coaxial or Component/Composite AV cables but with Auto Volume OFF which is the default setting. If anyone comes across this issue, please post it here. Thanks a lot.

The TV is everything we expected but we were worried about the delivery after reading the other reviews. We were very pleasantly surprised! The delivery window was 12-4 on Saturday and they called at about 1pm to let us know they were about 10 minutes away. The delivery man was very courteous and even removed his shoes before entering. After he set it up, which he did efficiently and while talking to my 2 year old, he helped us reconfigure the cable settings. He answered our questions and walked us through the channels to make sure we were happy with the TV. We were the ones that said we were happy and ready to sign, there was no time pressure at all. We have been watching the Olympics and PGA Tournament in HD since and really couldn't be happier with the way the TV is displaying shows or the delivery service Amazon uses.

Ok...I can only give this review from my wife's perspective...I will edit it when I get back from the sandbox in a few weeks if necessary. Her exact words... "it is beautiful and has a lot of connections. "

I ordered a PS3 with it too...So I can't wait to get home and see these babies together.

I have been looking for a new TV for the bedroom for a long time. This one kept getting great reviews and all the outstanding post here convinced me to get it. I was afraid to wait to much longer because the prices might go up for Christmas...so I took the plunge. It was delivered in Record time. Ordered on July 31st...delivered on 7 August. CEVA was nice to my mother-in-law...but didn't take it out of the box like they are supposed too. But hey she didn't ask them to either and it was free delivery. I'm just hoping my wife looked this over real good and there are no dead pixels...but she is enjoying it.
The 30 day price guarantee is awesome too. I have already received over $40.00 back and still have 14 days left. So keep dropping the price...then go up for Christmas.

Thanks Amazon
