 Excellent Picture, Decent Functionality, Poor Build Quality March 15, 2010
Michael Alexander (Hoboken, NJ)
I, like many others in these spaces, chose between this TV and the Sony KDL-XBR9. I immediately noticed that the colors on the Samsung "popped" a bit more than on the Sony, although it could be because of the glossy screen (which, by the way, is highly reflective). Take the fact that the Samsung was $400 cheaper, and it became a no-brainer.
The picture is, without a doubt, the best I have ever seen. Out of the box, the picture is pretty good, but when you play with the settings and tailor it to your specific viewing circumstances, you'll be seriously rewarded with an amazing picture. The separation of dejudder and motion blur is a great feature as well, for those who want a fine mix of the two. If I could, I would give the picture a 6/5.
Connectivity is great, with 4 HDMI inputs and 2 USB inputs. The side panel houses the 2 USB inputs and 1 of the HDMI inputs, but it is recessed enough to keep things plugged in without exposing the wires. I have only viewed pictures on the screen, so I cannot adequately assess the ease of playing music/movies off external drives. Yahoo widgets are painfully slow to start and run, so much so that they are basically useless. Samsung also throws a few internet extras in as well that you can either take or leave. 4/5 in that category, although I suspect the widgets are as much Yahoo's fault as Samsung's (and to be fair, they were equally slow on the Sony).
Now comes the poor part of the review. I have this TV hanging on a wall, and I used a right-angle HDMI connector so I didn't have to smash my HDMI cable against the wall. One day, it simply stopped working, and when I removed the TV from the wall, the connector seemed to have melted a bit, which was worrysome. A few days later, a random buzzing would occur when I turned the TV on, and abruptly stop when the picture came on. Finally, a week and a half ago, the TV would turn on and completely stop responding to anything - bright spots/lines would appear on the screen, and I was unable to access the menu, change inputs, or anything else. A tech came to my house and replaced the timing board, which corrected the problem immediately. However, he also said he would have to come back and replace the power board, because the buzzing indicated that it may die soon.
I understand that every now and then, a lemon is had. However, of the 4 major parts of the TV (panel, timing, power, inputs), 2 have had to be replaced already, so I'm basically stuck with a 45 day old refurbished TV (all of the problems coincidentally came just after the 30-day return window). I intend on keeping it, as (hopefully) the power board will be fixed and everything will work like new, because the picture is absolutely sublime. What happens in a year, when I'm out of my warranty? I shudder to think of the stories that Samsungs fail to turn on correctly about 18 months after use. I know that all brands have their deficiencies, and I also know that I was one of the unlucky ones to get a lemon (although, it is being fixed, so I can't be too picky). However, I'm fairly certain that this will be my last Samsung product.
On the bright side, while Samsung's customer service won't be winning any awards anytime soon, they were relatively helpful (maybe it's because I've heard all of the horror stories) and not completely incompetent. They assigned the case to a tech, and now I deal directly with him. Silver lining, right?
The TV gets an infinite amout of positive starts for an unbelievable picture, and a corresponding amount of negative stars for the build quality of my set. 3/5 seems fair.
 A Perfect LCD TV March 14, 2010

Like many other reviewers, I am a big SONY fan. However, when I saw the LN52B750 in store, hanging next to the SONY XBR9, I told myself that the Samsung looks better and its colors look more natural than the SONY. But I didn't see anything when my wife came over. Later she told me that she thinks the Samsung looks a little bit better. So we finally gave Samsung a try. It turned out that this TV is what every TV should be. It is very easy to setup. It provides two USB connections. That means you can put in any kind of media device, compact flash, SD, SDHC, or even the camera directly. Unlike some other TVs, they provide a SD or memory stick slot. Therefore, your choice is limited. It also has some built-in contents such as recipe, kids stuff, etc. I have been enjoying this TV for three months and have not regretted at all for switching from SONY to Samsung.
Great TV! March 12, 2010
A. Riden
Had this TV for a few weeks now and I am thoroughly impressed. The picture is great, sound is great (for a LCD of course) and aesthetics are great. By no means am I a techie, but my experience with this set so far has been awesome.
I use the TV to watch sports, movies, nature shows, normal programming (24/Lost/House etc) as well as play video games. Haven't had any issues with picture quality and would highly recommend this TV to others.
Very happy!
Fantastic Picture March 10, 2010
Carol A. Dominguez (California USA)
Replace our DLP Samsung with this new model after several bulbs had to be replaced.
Love the picture it's so clear and the color is fantastic. Sound wasn't a consideration as we hooked up to Bose Surround - just doesn't get any better.
 Samsung LN52B750 Great Picture purchased via Amazon.com March 9, 2010
J. Walker (Texas)
After a great deal of research on my part, I decided on this particular monitor for my application. I had a space constraint, yet I wanted as big a picture possible. I was upgrading from a 40" Samsung.
Amazon's price was the best of all the online dealers. The monitor arrived without any issues incurred while in transit. This thing is heavy and bulky, so two people may be needed to remove it from its box.
The monitor performed flawlessly out of the box. The picture is the best I've seen. I have had several Samsungs and Sharp flat panels. Both makers are good. The Samsung has a movie picture mode that really makes the picture stand out. I'm a very critical viewer, so my first several hours of watching it I was looking for any and every flaw, but none were visible.
Its a beautiful piece and looks nice even when not in use. The internet access works great although I have yet to download any content except from NetFlix.
My only reason I gave it four stars and not five is it seems I have to turn the volume up quite high to hear subtle, low volume conversations. Then, when louder portions of the content are played at that same volume, I seem to hear some distortion from the speakers.
I haven't had time to check into this further. I will in the near future and update my review. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase.
