| I didn't actually think our family would be able to tell much difference between the picture quality of this TV and the slightly lower resolution picture our Samsung 50 inch plasma (with a max 720p resolution). We were totally wrong and pleasantly surprised. The picture on this TV is amazing! If you do get this TV and you like watching movies, I recommend getting a nice high-def DVD player. You will be blown away by the picture! |
Excellent Television

| The Samsung LN40B750 is an excellent tv. I was debating either purchasing this television or the LG LH90 which was priced just a little more. I'm sure I would have been happy with the LG but I do enjoy the widgets on the Samsung. I doubt anyone will be buying the Samsung as it is not being manufactured anymore and is not even listed on Samsung's website. But, if you're looking for an excellent LCD television with lots of bells and whistles for a reasonable price, I suggest you get this TV before they are not available. You'll end up waiting another year before you see television this nice or nicer for this price. |
Wow..... Great TV..........!

i purchased this Samsung 40" LCD 240Hz TV , over a week ago. The Picture quality is stunning. I feel look i'm watching movies & newscast live that's all i can say. when u make the settings right the picture quality will
blow u away. i was going going to purchase a LG 47" LCD 240HZ TV over at frys electronics store i also saw the samsung there as well. the salesman told me that the refresh rate was faster on the LG Than The Samsung But i went
online the day before and i saw that refresh rate was 2ms compared to the 2.2ms refresh on the LG. I did'nt tell
the salesman about that but i came close to buying the LG But then i changed my mind & got the samsung instead.
I would not regret it. i have had tv's in life with great picture quality meaning "samsungs" & i never had an issue with any. it was the best buy i ever made . |

Fantastic picture quality. Went from a standard definition television to this set and could never go back. I researched many, many TV's before purchasing this one. The televisions at Best Buy were lower quality (Hz, definition, or size) but of equal price.
Pros: Everything is a pro. 240 Hz isn't for everyone but I think it's amazing to watch movies like Bourne Supremacy where there is lots of action and see every tiny detail of the entire screen not just what the camera is focusing on. Just a fantastic television.
Cons: Can't think of any real cons. Is a dust magnet but could care less when it is so amazing.
Other: Make sure to turn on Game Mode when playing XBOX or PS3 or there will be a significant delay between controller movements. Once Game Mode was turned on it works great.
Still can't emphasize how great of a deal this TV is and how great of quality it is. |
Audio sync problem

| This TV looks great. But the built in speakers are not as nice as using external audio. However my unit has the audio sync issue others have noted. If I use headphones or the RCA audio outs the audio is delayed a fraction of a second which means that when people talk it is disorienting. I did not attempt to use RCA or headphone jack until after the 12 month warranty had expired so I am stuck with the internal speakers. I would not recommend this model or others is the series (other A750 reviews for different sizes have noted audio sync problems), and if you have purchased one check the audio outs right away to get them repaired under warranty. |
feels like im watching blu rays and playing games in hd for the first time!!

| got this tv the friday before supwebowl sunday. it felt like i was on the sideline recording the game myself. this is my third hdtv. and the picture on this tv put my other 2 hdtvs to shame. when i hooked up my ps3 and 360 to it. i seen details that i never seen before. it even helped me get a few extra kills online on modern warfare 2. because on my other 47` 1080p tv it was kinda hard to see on the maps with snow or rain. but everything was really clear with this tv and i could see other players hiding or coming from further away. i always used to think blu ray movies werent that much better then normal dvd. but after watching a blu ray movie on this tv. i changed my mind. i have watched all my older blu ray movies again and plan to never buy another normal dvd again. this is a great hdtv. i think anyone who buys it will enjoy it very much. |
Just love it!

| My husband and I had a very old tv and said we wouldn't renew it until it died on us. However, we watch a lot of English soccer and decided just before Christmas to get a new tv as a joint Christmas present. I did some research on Amazon and came up with this little beauty! I can't tell you how pleased we are with everything about it and would certainly recommend this to others. Just one little hiccup - the delivery was two days late because the company did not have my contact details to make the necessary delivery arrangements. I called them and they turned up as scheduled and set up the tv for me. The soccer looks fantastic! If we were do buy a larger tv for the living room we would definitely buy another Samsung. |
Fantastic TV - Great Price

I purchased the LN40B750 before New Years 2009 as a replacement for an old CRT for our main floor living room. I spent a significant amount of time online looking at reviews and going to stores to see the TV and its competition in person. I'll break it down with the okay, the good, and the great (I have nothing bad to say about this TV or anything with Amazon or delivery).
The Okay:
Widgets are slow to load in particular when loading YouTube video. I ran a network cable to the TV instead of spending the $80 on the wireless adapter. This is negated by being able to watch TV while they are loading but it is definitely not a click and go at Internet speeds. I have not yet installed the software on my home PC for photo viewing so I cannot weigh in on that yet. I do like that they offer Amazon VOD which I have not yet used but to plan to (Blockbuster VOD is also offered). It is disappointing that Netflix is not an available Widget and hope that this is corrected soon. The news and sports widgets are okay at best. You can get headlines but you can't get the rest of the story. I also think that the sports widgets should allow you to pick teams to follow and have their scores, schedules and news items available similar to setting up the weather widget (another one where you probably have 10 other quicker choices for a forecast).
Picture in picture is not usable for folks with a set top box and Samsung's implementation is not the best. It does only work on the direct input to the TV (i.e. it does not work through the HDMI inputs).
The Good:
The ultra clear panel looks good and the TOC with Grey is a much nicer than the Red on the 120Hz TV. I keep it as good and not great for the following reasons. The bezel is very thick compared to the competitive Sony. I really like the thin set bezel of the Sony. The Sony looks like a much larger picture than the Samsung due to the bezel. However the Samsung gloss finish especially on the screen creates a better look and picture in my eyes. It will create a glare from lighting and windows. This was a problem with the glass CRTs too though and is easily overcome here. The TV has plenty of contrast to overcome most any glare. Our set has both lamps and south windows directly opposite the TV and we have no issues during the day with glare. Lamps and the sun do reflect off the shiny bezel though so you may find that distracting.
This set also does a good job with non-HD video such as VHS (my complaint here is lack of a Super Video input).
The set is thin but is obviously not as thin as the LED back lit models. However in spending a lot of time in front of both at the store, the picture quality of this model relative to the EDGE lit LED TVs is clearly superior. Now if you really want great picture quality move up to the true BACK Lit LED models. Blacks there look like a plasma but you are going to pay for that step up. This is the best picture quality of any LCD TV I have seen including the Sony XBR TVs.
The Great:
The color level and picture are fantastic. I feel the settings out of the box are great. However, CNet provides some nice tweaks to the movie settings which I have used with a Sony PS3 to show a fantastic picture though I didn't spend time going back and forth to see how much different it was from the factory settings. I like that each input can be adjusted to the settings you want. For example my PS3 retains the movie settings (tweaked per CNet) while my Digital Set top Box is set to Standard, etc.
Automotion Plus creates a beautiful picture. I don't think the 240Hz by itself offers anything over the 120Hz so don't buy this set on that alone. The Grey color pushed me up to this TV. That said sporting events in HD look FANTASTIC. The configuration of how the Automotion is a nice touch and there are built in configurations that allow you to tune for the event you are watching. It does create an almost live feel for normal programming but that can be compensated by adjusting the settings or by turning it off.
For those leery of online ordering, Amazon and the delivery company were both great. Delivery was fast and friendly. This is my second TV that I have ordered online. The first being a 46" Samsung DLP several years ago.
Overall this is a fantastic TV and Amazon beats everyone that I found on price including Crutchfield. Free shipping and no tax make this a very attractive offer. I highly recommend this TV. |
Happy Owner

Have used the TV for about 1 month now. Picture quality is excellent. Since this is our first LCD HDTV I really don't have anything to compare it to. Blue-Ray movies are fantastic both on disk or streamed over the internet.
The widgets are pretty much useless and since getting a blue-ray player so we could get netflix movies the widgets will not load over the internet. They worked when the TV was connected directly to the router but not since going through the Blue-Ray player. Probably something I could do to remedy that but haven't tried as I don't see much use for them anyhow.
Overall very happy with the TV and would buy it again. |

I have a very long time for a “suitable” LCD wanted. I also have the Sony 4500Z views and a few other models from Samsung.
This LCD is a great part. The picture on analog channels can of course (as with all LCDs) to be desired. However, a digital signal and here is top quality. DVD, BlueRay and play via the PS3 is a high enjoyment. Document nor the network capability and a further contribution to write. Connection possibilities to aside.
Absolute buy recommendation.

Bought the TV for 3 weeks and am really excited!
I have a digital cable and the quality is really great.
I get even a few HD Channels pure, where the picture is much the better.
PS3 games and Blu-Ray on this TV are just a force!
The 200 HZ bring in my opinion, especially with Blu-Ray was.
