Reviews of Samsung LN-52A750 from Amazon.com

HDTV IS BETTER THAN DESCRIBED!!! perfect in every way!

This is the very BEST TV that I have ever owned!!!

I am so excited to share a few things with you about my purchase.

DELIVERY:
Delivery was VERY smooth...make sure you get the "white glove" service if you don't have someone to help you because the box is huge and it takes TWO men to carry it inside. PLUS the delivery men take it out of the box and plug it in and check it to make sure that it didn't get damaged during transporting. Worth the extra money!

SETUP
I had Dish Tv come and set it up for me because I bought a new HD TV receiver and I am a woman...so better to have Dish do it than me trying to figure it out...however, the connections and the book look very simple after all!

PICTURE SETTINGS V/S FACTORY SETTINGS
The picture is so perfect, that I have never even wanted to adjust it...I think the "factory settings" are PERFECT, and wonderfully bright and clear and I am VERY excited over the picture quality of this Samsung TV.

TOUCH OF COLOR V/S GLARE?
Regarding the "Touch of Red Color"...I can't even notice any red touch of color at all..it is SO SUBTLE... and there is NO glare or problem with it either in the daylight or the nightlight.
It's PERFECT...don't know what others were fussing about!!??

"FIVE DIFFERENT SIZES" of PICTURE...your choice!
Here is something no one has talked about (not in any of the previous reviews):
This is a feature that I LOVE SO MUCH...and that is: You have "Five different" sizes or ways that you can view your picture in! That is right. Here are the following sizes that you can control from your remote (even with my Dish remote):
1. you can use the "normal" size which takes on whatever the show is offering the program in...

2. You can use the "stretch" size which stretches the whole picture from side to side and it does fill out the "whole" screen...

3. you can use the "partial zoom" which "enlarges" the whole picture...

4. you can use the "zoom" size which really
enlarges the total picture on your screen... great if you have company that is sitting further away...

5. You can use the "gray bar" which has an about "4" gray stripe on each side with the picture in the middle (no gray strips on the top or bottom...and this looks very nice).

The "normal size" picture sometimes fills up the whole screen but sometimes has "black "4" strips on the sides of the picure (like the gray bars size), but it depends on the program or movie you watch...because the "normal size"
will change with the program...but you can change it to any of the "5 different size settings" with your remote...
I LOVE THIS FEATURE!!! Keeps you from getting bored...but most of all you can try all the different 5 sizes to see
which one makes the picture look the best...LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!...and can't believe that no one ever mentioned this
in their reviews that I read.

WHY I BOUGHT A SAMSUNG
The reason I bought this brand is because I went to several large stores selling TVs and looked and compared all
their tvs that were displayed next to each other...WOW...the Samsung totally BLOWS ALL the other brands OUT OF THE WATER PEOPLE!!! Go and see for yourself... I had to laugh, that at one store, they had the Samsung tvs and the Samsung Blu-Ray player completely far away from the other brands...or they would probably not be able to sell the others!!! LOL

DO I THINK I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE?
Now I will tell you that I ABSOLUTELY made the BEST choice by buying this Samsung HDTV.

I am in BLISSFUL HEAVEN here all day!!! What an advanced television! LOVE IT!!!

Great TV except it only has one tuner, so no true PIP

This TV is great except it does not have a PIP that can switch between two HDMI inputs. You can not switch between two HDMI sources which should be standard in a $2k HD TV but it is not here. Read more on their web site. You can only watch an RF input while watching TV, playing a video game etc...

A750

Bought this at the beginning of the year. Simply put, buy this screen. You will not go wrong no matter the useage. It brings blue ray to life and makes my old dvd's look very nice. I plan on having this one for a while despite the recent upgrades to the sreen width and refresh rate.

It's all good except for.....

The touch of Red. There is no touch of red except for the red plexi glass around the frame. No function. Just plastic. Too many functions that have no or little use unless you don't have a computer. All that doesn't mean much though. The picture is excellent. It really is astounding to see the difference between my 40" Magnovox. I had no concept of how bad the picture was until I got my new 52". Old movies look like they were re-shot. Love it.

After 10 months, I still love this TV

I have deliberately waited almost a year to write this review. I purchased this TV from the Amazon Warehouse as a "used" item (1st time I've tried this option) with a "scratch" on the case. I can't find the scratch!
The Tv was delivered ontime by 2 guys who unpacked it & placed it on the stand. They powered it up & checked it out before they left, making sure I was happy. They even cleaned up the packing mess.
I am still in awe of this television. It is everything I wanted. Visitors always comment on the quality of the picture & I happily refer them to Amazon.
The next thing on my wish list is a Blu-Ray player - I wonder what the picture will look like then? How could it possibly get any better?
I would rate my experience with this purchase as a 10 for price,product & service (the 1st 10 I've ever given anything).

Great TV and Amazon does it agin

This was my first TV that I have ever purchased, so I thought why not go for the 52 inch and spoil myself for a change (glad I didn't go smaller and listen to the wife), it's amazing how the TV was overwhelming at first and now it fits in awesome with my setup. The features, picture, and sound a really impressive. The Red TOC looks awesome. Funny story, my neighbor bought the beveled version and neither of us knew that we had done so. I want to get the smaller TOC for my bedroom.

Samsung LN52A750 one of the Top Dogs

When ever I make a purchase from the internet I have already done extensive research on the product most of than time I end up knowing just as much if not more that the sales person. I have it connected to my PS3 and I've played a few games and watched a few Blu-ray movies with my 7.1 sound system at least while the sound was working.

Words can not describe the experience some parts of the movies were so crisp that you feel like your right there in the set while they filmed it. One of the reviews mentioned that it was almost like 3D I disagree it was more like 4D!!!

The service was on point, and I did not have any problems to mention I would not have a problem recommending anyone to this company. The Samsung LCD is among the top dogs, in my opinion, and this is coming from someone who has done literally months of research.

Awesome TV

For everything that you get with this TV, it is very easy to setup and use. And everyone that comes over is amazed at the picture quality. You feel like you are watching it in 3D. The shipping was super fast, the cables I bought with it took another week to get to me, the TV only took two days.

Great TV

I bought this TV last year after my Olevia 42 1080i stopped working after a year. After a research, I decided to spend little more and buy a brand name, 'cause no one would fix or couldn't get parts for Olevia. This TV was more than an upgrade, I had this now for more than a year and I am still amazed. my computer hooks up to it via hdmi, watch HD TV programs and play ps3 with great quality. I paid $2000 last year and it dropped now to $1500 range, but I don't regret buying it too early. It was worth it. It's a great TV for the money.

Love the TV - great bargain

We ordered this cybermonday - great deal. The touch of red is so slight that you don't notice it at all. The TV is sleek with great picture/sound quality. We did upgrade out cable box to an HD version as well. What impressed us most is that we could schedule our delivery with the carrier - this was included in free with prime membership. Also, the gentlemen who delivered it via van offered to hook it up. We tipped them just because and it was sure a lot less than paying for the other optional services offered. We bought a TV stand specifically for the TV so it was here and ready to go upon delivery. Best move ever!

Samsung TV

We LOVE this tv and the price was awesome. Our only complaint was the delivery company once it landed in Seattle. They were a bit grouchy and not flexible at all on when they could bring it. They informed me that if I didn't take the one appt time they offered me it would be over a month until they could deliver it again. With a busy family and two working parents it was less than ideal. I would definitely purchase this product again but unfortunately probably not through Amazon if they are still using the same delivery company.

Incredible Picture Quality

I've had this TV for a year and cannot complain about anything as far as the picture quality is concerned. It is incredible. The dynamic adjustments to the contrast are seamless. I also have a Samsung Blu-Ray player so I take advantage of the AnyNet technology. Using HDMI connections makes a big difference over the Component Video -- the detail is outstanding. The 120 hz motion can sometimes be too much at the high settings (I keep it low) since it tends to show you movement you don't see with the naked eye. (It can make you a little dizzy so I cannot imagine why anyone would want or need the newer 240 hz technology). Even old black & white movies are beautiful on this TV. I also have connect a PC via the DVI and a laptop with HDMI with extremely good results. There are no dead pixels anywhere.

The sound is good considering the size of the built-speakers but I run it through a Yamaha 5.1 channel AV receiver which of course, makes it more than realistic clarity.

Not too many complaints here --- I wish the remote control was programmable but its not (neither is the remote for the Blu-Ray). For wireless LAN, you have to use the Samsung adapter which is no longer available but the Ethernet is fine. Since I have the wireless adapter for the Blu-Ray, I can get most web content from it rather than the TV.

And oh, yes, I bought a re-certified set which saved me a bunch.

Love it!!

I have had this tv for a year now and it is still perfect. I have a samsung blu ray hooked to it and it is like being in a movie theater. I also hooked up my lap top with my wireless keyboard and mouse and now I can stream netflix, this is just awesome!!

Great tv for the dollars

Samsung is on the right path this tv has a fantastic picture and the auto motion amp(120hz) really helps clean up some channels pics that aren't as good as others. Clean look, quality product!
