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

I cannot say enough good things about this tv, I highly recommend it if you are shopping for a new 40" tv. First off let me say to date the picture is superb out of the box. A little tweaking the picture using the menus and it looks even better as you watch Blu-Ray movies like Iron Man or Batman Begins. The PS3 is the perfect way to demonstrate how amazing web browsing can be on this screen and the Xbox 360 also outline the amazing picture quality of this tv. I spent $1495 when I ordered this from Amazon, got free shipping and a guy from CEVA wheeled the tv into my house, took the box off and even offered to set it up. I told him I could handle it and once I started watching cable, playing games and watch Blu-Ray movies, I was confident I had arrived to the high definition land of milk and honey. I cannot get over how amazing this tv is. Run out and buy this! Oh and I received this tv within 4 days of my order and I live in California. The 120 HZ frame mode looks weird, almost like quick or fast movements are put on fast forward. Its unatural when you watch tv or movies. I highly recommend you turn it off. In games, i havent tried it, maybe its awesome since games are fictional recreations that never quite look photo realistic to begin with. Anyways thats the only bad thing I can think of off the top of my head and even then, its not a bad feature. Just an added feature you might get used to the more you use it.

Since everyone's got their own issues and configuration, I'll talk about our configuration, not just the TV itself.

Bottom line: this TV is fantastic.

We just got it along with the Samsung BD-P1500 1080p Blu-ray Player and a cheap HDMI cable. Amazon threw in two free Blu-ray disks. For a couple of bucks a month we've upgraded our Netflix subscription to Blu-ray.

Delivery of the TV was simple--we inspected for physical damage, checked the TV to make sure it worked, and sent the deliveryman on his way.

We get over-the-air TV, not cable or satellite. I just plugged in the antenna cable, powered up the TV. In a minute it found all the channels (regular and DT and HD), set itself up, and was good to go. The only mistake it made was on Daylight Savings Time--it thinks it has already ended, so I had to manually reset the time.

Stunning picture, elegant design, right-out-of-box set-up. The Samsung Blu-ray remote works perfectly with this TV. It's a little cleaner layout than the nice but many-buttoned Samsung TV remote. (Our second Blu-ray disk displayed an irksome "Bonus View' box, but a quick Google search led me to a button sequence--Popup Menu/Info/Popup Menu--to make it go away.)

The TV speakers are great. Perhaps down the road we'll add a speaker system , but in our not-so-big living room the TV sound seems plenty good enough.

We've got lots of windows and sunlight, but the screen of this Samsung is fine even in full daylight. The touch-of-red is subtle, and the overall look is sleek and elegant.

We waited a long time to replace our 1991 Panasonic Prism 19" TV, and did a lot of reading of reviews. You won't want to wait as long as we did to get this great TV.

I couldn't be happier. The picture of the local HD is WOW. I never seen a TV with such clear picture. It's theater like...it looks absolutely shocking...the picture is as good if not BETTER than theater picture in my opinion. If you're watching a movie in HD or a show in HD, you feel as if you're right up there at the theater because the picture scream out to you and you feel like you can reach out and touch the characters. I am actually embarrassed that the characters on TV look THAT clear because i feel like i am invading their privacy because you can see every wrinkles they have, pimples....whether their clothes are dirty...it's THAT AMAZING! I also like the fact the the picture size adjust itself as they shown on the screen. A lot of TVs don't do that..and as result, you get bad blurry video in certain segment of video...be it commercials or whatever...you name it!! The sound ain't bad either...it's above decent. You can always hook up to a sound system.

I don't know why some complaint about the red touch around the screen as being distracted....it looks absolutely beautiful. Why would you be distracted by it?? I don't get it. It's like a nice touch....very slick and don't bother you at all..no glaring. When you're watching the TV...you're not looking at it. I like the red touch because it makes the TV look unique.

This TV also allowed you to play files off of the PC. Some of the video files don't work because of wrong video size or incompatible with sound...i hope they come out with an update to fix this issue. They should allow you to play ANY FILES regardless of the size of the video or the sound it incorporated.

Showed up with white glove shipping service which is a really nice touch. The TV does everything it needs to, and more - though the extras are pretty clunky (but who buys a TV to get recipes anyways??).

I use DISH TV non-HD reciever, and a non-blue ray DVD, and everything looks great anyways.

I have to say that my whole experience with purchasing this TV was easy and great. The delivery was complete with in 20 minutes. Now that I have an HD cable box hooked up, the picture is amazing. I can't believe how much detail I can see. I have not dug into all of the features, but so far, this TV is great and I look forward to watching it. Sports are not blurry at at, you can see the dirt come up from the ground with football.
