Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Get it now! Wednesday, September 30, 2009

After missing the opportunity to purchase the "A" version of this HDTV, I jumped on the "B" version as soon as it came out.

I have not a chance to watch a movie yet, but the TV picture is as fine as one could want. And that is from a coax cable. Because I did not have my HD cables I merely conencted it thru coax. WOW!!!! No glare, clear from any viewing angle in the room!!!

The picture is great, and as soon as I hook up the HD cables, a further review will follow.Get more detail about Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color.

Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Buy Now Tuesday, September 29, 2009

My old RCA 27" tube finally died, so it was time to enter into the world of HDTV's. After a ton of research and price hunting, I settled in on this 40" model for the full 1080, 120hZ experience (plus a smokin' deal from Amazon helped seal the deal).

First one arrived shattered, so that was a bit of a buzz kill. Fortunately the delivery includes set up & power up, so we immediately saw that the thing was destroyed. The delivery crew took it back with them and Amazon got another one out. The 2nd one arrived in perfect condition, and after getting DirecTV out to install the HD dish, I've been on HD for about a week now. I know this is not part of the product review, but Amazon's customer service was excellent in this matter.

All I can say is that the picture is more than I anticipated, having never owned an HDTV before. The clarity is unreal, the colors and images just pop off the screen.

Sports and movies are incredible to watch. I do see how some folks are a bit taken aback by how crisp movies appear (as if in 3d), and they have to get used to the look of cinema based stuff. It doesn't really bother me that much, as I know that's the byproduct of HD. It's crisp. It's clear. But I set the 120Hz option to standard, and I find that works well enough for my eyes. There are certain scenes in some movies that just look surreal, but not in a bad way (at least to me).

The amount of control that this TV gives you to adjust the picture is great -- you can stick with one of their built in "modes" (dynamic, standard, natural or movie) and then customize every aspect of the picture as much as you wish. I spent a couple of days just playing with the settings & calibrating. The dynamic mode is way too bright, and gives results that are just not natural. I've found that the "natural" mode works best for me, with additional adjustments in contrast & brightness to enhance the blacks as much as possible. The "standard" mode allows you to push the blacks even more deep, so I've been going back & forth between both that & "natural". If desired, you can adjust for gamma, white balance, flesh tones, so you can go pretty deep.

I do have to say that at this point, the 120Hz feature doesn't really appear to add that much. I did read in a number of reviews that it is not easy to discern the difference between 60 and 120Hz in most viewing situations. A fast millisecond response rate is where you want to be, and with this TV's 4ms response time, there's no issues. And for me, I don't mind having a little blur on fast moving scenes.

I have watched movies & sports on my dad's samsung 37" HDTV (LN37A450), which is a 60Hz model, and have to say that the picture looks just as incredible as on this 40". So if you're looking to save a couple hundred bucks, don't get too hung up on the 60Hz/120Hz issue. Go with the 60Hz, and you'll be plenty satisfied. But if you can get a deal for a 120Hz Samsung for under $1k, it's worth it. Always nice to have extra options, as long as you're not breaking the bank to do it. I just have not seen a major difference between the two. Having said that, I've not watched any blu-ray movies yet, but have watched a couple of HD movies from DirecTV. But most of the complaints about the 120Hz are with people who think it makes movies look weird -- so again, 60Hz won't kill you there. If you're a gamer, you may want to do some more research on it. I don't own an Xbox, Playstation or Wii, so I can't speak to that.

Many complain about the sound on this TV as well, but I found that with the surround turned on, the TV gives off a pretty decent output. I hooked up the stereo to the tv, so usually have the audio coming through the full stereo. But on it's own, the TV isn't too bad, especially for such a slim profile.

The touch of color is a really nice feature as well -- it does give the TV a very sophisticated look. I was concerned that the red may be distracting, but it's tastefully done and very subtle.

Overall, I don't regret purchasing this TV - I could've saved some $$$ by going with the B550 model and sticking with 60Hz, but for the price that Amazon had at the time($999), I felt that I'd just get the extra options.

For what it's worth, I believe that this TV is also an 'A' panel. I'm not even sure if there are 'S' panels being made anymore. If the last letter of the serial number is how this is determined, then I don't see 'S' panels on any of their models. But whatever type panel it has, it doesn't matter. It looks fantastic, and even more so after being adjusted/calibrated best to display in my living room. There is a review out there (hi Matt!!) that gave the tv one star because of this panel issue...but said little to nothing else on how the tv actually was performing. One of the complaints about 'A' panels was that the 'off angle' viewing was very poor. First of all, I don't know why you'd want to view these TV's from too severe of an "off angle" -- you want to be in front of it as much as possible -- maybe 45 degrees off...but I've also inspected it from severe angles (pushing 160-170 degrees) and the picture holds up just fine.

This model is fantastic. I still can't believe my eyes when watching some stuff...there was a show about the Grand Canyon on National Geographic channel this weekend. All I can say is, wow. Unbelievable. The epic Wimbledon final between Federer and Roddick was also fun to watch.

No regrets here at all. Great TV. Brilliant picture, with plenty of options to tweak to your preference.

Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color

Being an engineer, I had thoroughly researched the Samsung LN52B750 but overlooked one item that has caused me enormous early frustration. UNREADABLE DOCUMENTATION.

I received the LN52B750 Samsung LCD from Amazon 2 days ago. Picture with Verizon FIOS and HDMI is beautiful.

The 300+ page User's Manual is on a thumb drive that you plug into the LCD's USB port. That's cool, that is smart I thought. But then I attempted to read the Owner's Manual to identify the individual back panel connectors. The manual's English grammar and spelling is fine - but the important info is unreadable.

Instead of using black text on a white background, Samsung uses tiny tiny white text (font size 6 or 4 I estimate) on a deep black background. The diagrams are even worse - very tiny and undiscernable. The critical diagram info details used to identify the functions (lables, the text, the connectors, the thin pointing arrows, etc.) are white, blue, red, purple and brown (I think) on the same black background and are totally washed out and unreadable. (I called for help. But my grandkid's young eyes could not discern it either then quickly tired of it and resumed teasing each other.)

Note that the detailed info you need about connections in the Owner's manual is visible (???) but not readable only on the screen when you are in FRONT of the screen. But you are sitting on the floor BEHIND the set to make the connections. Human engineering?

I disconnected the thumb drive and attached it to my Macintosh and 22" monitor. Same readability problem. I copied and pasted some of the first pages into Word at a rate of about one Manual page per minute. I printed out a few pages on my good quality HP printer. Being all black, very slow printing and still virtually unreadable. How much expensive toner is needed to print an (unreadable) 300 + black page manual?

Maybe I should view the manual's diagram with the Thumb drive plugged into my Mac. Hey, then I could use the Mac's Zoom view feature while I sit on the floor behind the set making connections to the various attachments. Brilliant!

So I called Samsung Customer Support (1-800-726-7864). They did not understand my problem. But said maybe I could download a white background .pdf file of the User's Manual. Or I could purchase for $13.00 a paper copy of the Owner's Manual with a White background, black text and readable diagram colors.

So I went to www.samsungparts.com to order the manual.

Sorry: there it told me the LN52B750 (or LN52B750UIM) is not a recognized Samsung product. Ditto on other Samsung support pages. There is a file for the LN52A750 but how relevant is it to the B model?

By the way, the 52B750 Owner's Manual also lacks a Table of Contents, Index and Glossary.

[...]

Very sad.

Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Order Now Monday, September 28, 2009

I am a believer in the idea that the best price for technology is found just short of the latest version of a product on the market. This Samsung has a great picture without the advanced edge of technology such as LED technology. It also offers a great added feature that I did not know was there until the set arrived. You can attach a USB flash drive to the Samsung and view your latest jpeg digital pictures in full high definition. This feature alone is worth selecting this set over others in the same catagory and price range. There also is the ability to connect the set to an ethernet connection to Yahoo!, Flickr, YouTube, but I did not use this feature.

Others have commented that the sound quality is deficient, but I connected the set to an AV receiver and bypass the internal speakers.

Overall, I am very pleased with this TV.Get more detail about Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color.

I've had my Samsung LN52B750 for about 2 weeks now. I bought it from Amazon (of course) the best price.. This is one fine television. I don't think any t.v.
on the market today, can compare to this one. The colors are awesome, and the picture is super sharp.
HD at it's best...
Originally I was going to purchase the Samsung LN52A550...But when it came time to buy, I changed to
the LN52B750...Because the reviews were great and also I wanted a t.v. with newer technology.
I mounted the t.v. on the wall on a Peerless mount which I also bought on Amazon...
I have the t.v. hooked up to my Sony 5.1 surround sound system...and the audio is super....

I hooked it all up this way:

SAT box to t.v. HDMI cable............... DVD player to t.v. HDMI cable

SAT box to receiver optical cable.............. DVD player to receiver optical cable

and it all works fine....
don't hesitate to buy this t.v., you can't go wrong....Willie Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

Picture quality is truly excellent and the sound is superb - with an optional Sony Sound Bar, that is (you can't really expect decent speakers with the flat-screen form factor). One underrated feature is the matte screen, which was the best on the HDTVs I looked at.

Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Right now Saturday, September 26, 2009

I am a compulsive investigator. I shopped and studied - I originally intended to get the 37" Samsung, but the price on this one decided me. I went to Best Buy to check out the picture and decided that the 630 was preferable to the 650 because of the matte screen.

I had the box open and the set working within 20 minutes. Just great with factory settings, but I like a more subtle color. I am sure that the numbers on the contrast levels are valid only in comparison with other Samsung models, but however you scale it, this thing has an incredible contrast ratio. If you use the Menu and reduce the contrast and backlighting bit, then play with the color intensity, you will have a picture equal to sitting aross the room from the person on screen.

By the way, I found that HGTV (Home & Garden) and Macy's commercials have the most consistently perfect images for judging color and contrast. What was unexpected was the nearly 3D effect of the picture.

To protect my investment I bought a constant voltage transformer (voltage regulator) that also functions as a surge protector. This also lessens the likelihood of power surge damage (nothing will save you from a direct lightning strike) but it also maintains a constant voltage level so there are no fluctuations in picture color.

All this and I do not have HD, just standard Direct TV cable. I LOVE it! Get more detail about Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color.

Order Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color

I've been researching HD TVs for about 18 months now. I'm glad I waited for the B750 to come along. I have watched plenty of HD television at friend's houses, and can safely say that none of them compare to the B750.

Simply amazing picture on HD television content as well as bluray. My set has no clouding, flashlights or stuck pixels at least to the naked eye. Shipping was fast (3 days from order) and the delivery guys did a good job.

I haven't had an opportunity to test drive any of the ancillary features on it so I can't really speak to things like flickr, yahoo widgets, etc. There are literally so many features on this set it will keep me busy for some time to come.

My main concern with this TV was with the glossy screen. It faces my kitchen and several windows but I'm happy to report that glare is not an issue thanks to the ultra bright screen. Sure you can see some reflections but you REALLY have to look for them and it's not at all distracting. Bad reflections were a deal breaker for me so I took a chance and couldn't be happier.

Overall the set is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone.

Lowest Price Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Friday, September 25, 2009

First of all, I researched TV's for about half a year before making my decision on this samsung. After looking at TV's countless times, I knew I decided on Samsung, and was looking in the 1k range. At first I was going to get a 60hz model, but after lookin at them side to side with this 120hz model, i couldn't not get this one. I jumped on it when it was on sale for $999 for 2 days, and got to pick it up on wed., july 8th. I've had it for a day now. I watched Quantum of Solace on blu-ray, and wow, this tv blew my mind. I've never seen a picture so crisp and clear, every scene was perfect, looked way better than when it was on display in the store. Some people complain about the 120hz automotion plus, but you just need to mess around with the settings a little bit and find the right fit for you. I love it, it looks great during action scenes, and makes the picture literally look 3D. Also, the sound really is pretty good for a flat panel, but i hope to eventually buy surround sound. Also, I played some PS3 and i could tell it looked better than on our older 1080i rear projection big screen, the color was much better and much more fluent. Also, it has many nice features. I haven't tried the infolink yet but it seems pretty cool, and it has tons of different settings to get your picture looking exactly the ways you want it with different presets like "standard, natural, dynamic, and movie". Also, this TV looks amazing even when it's not turned on with it's black panel and red TOC, it looks very expensive and stylish. If your looking to buy a new flat screen don't look anywhere but right here as this will not disappoint you in any way. Don't settle for anything less if you can shop around and find it for a great price like i did.Get more detail about Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color.

Low Price Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Thursday, September 24, 2009

I will echo what the first reviewer, Rich Vergo said. Like he did, I initially purchased the Sony KDL-40V5100 (Sony's 2009 competition to the LNB630) and was fairly content. I originally thought about buying the Samsung LN40B650 but its higher price tag pushed me towards the Sony. I was pretty happy until I kept seeing the Samsung panel at a couple friends' houses. It didn't take too long to realized the difference between the two is so staggering I knew that I would not be able to live with the Sony set. Fortunately, I found the so similar B630 for the same price I paid for the V5100.

I spent about three weeks experimenting and reading message boards to get a good configuration on the Sony. However, right out of the box the B630 image is breathtaking, to say the least. It's so crisp, the image appears three dimensional and the colors are so vivid. Like Rich said, in comparison to the B630, the Sony LCD's look like old technology. Everything I've watched so far looks way better; Heck, even the Direct TV guide looks better on the Samsung.

If you are in the market for a TV in this size and price range, I would highly recommend it. Even if you're considering saving $100 or so on a cheaper TV, I think the difference in quality is easily worth the difference in price. You might also want to look at the slightly more expensive B650 series. It's clear panel will provide a little better picture but will reflect more glare. I went for the B630 because it was $200 cheaper than the 650. The difference wasn't quite worth it.

I've only found two negatives so far. First, the buttons on the panel are not buttons at all but rather some sort of touch sensitive mechanism and it's almost impossible to see them unless you have a spotlight and get up close. This renders them virtually useless. Second, the mounting holes are too close together and located too much towards the center of the TV. My current mount isn't the greatest and the way the holes are setup makes the TV unstable. I will probably need to buy a new mount.Get more detail about Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color.

This is one of the nicest looking TVs I've ever purchased. I was amazed at the quality and clarity of the picture once it was hooked up. Set-up was a breeze and took seconds using the HDMI cable. I didn't think the picture would be much different than my 3 year old LCD, but it was the difference between night and day, and that's not including what it looks like in HD. The HD will knock your socks off. It looks as if the person is sitting or standing in the room with you....it's hard to describe. I'm still amazed at how beautiful the picture is on this TV. If I could afford it, I'd buy one of these TVs for every room in my house.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

This is a great TV. It was delivered on time and arrived without damage. I mounted it on it's pedestal and plugged it in. Other than running it though the auto setup and cable channel finder, I have never changed anything from the factory default. The picture is great and is awesome when hooked up to my panasonic -60 blue ray player. (Actually, regular DVDs are just about as good.) The HDMI cables are easy to use (one cable does it all) and you have several ports on the TV for hookup. I will probably add some external speakers to enhance the sound quality but the TV speakers are not bad. Overall, I am pleased with the TV and with Amazon.

First of all I am extremely happy with this product and the service extended by Amazon. Amazon is always amazing. It says standard shipping is 10 days but always delivers within 3-4 days.
I have researched for more than 3 months to buy this TV. I have browsed internet and gone to Bestbuy to see and compare them for real. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for high quality HDTV. Picture quality is amazing. Superb black levels. Bright pictures. Sound is not the best but adequate. It is not sound you expect from LCD TV but the picture quality which this TV offers at best.
If you want internet on TV go for LN40B650. 630 does not have this. But I have a PS3 that offers internet.
I recommend Samsung to Sony because, for the same prize Samsung offers better configurations and lot of features. I did not compare any other because these 2 are the best in the Market for affordable prizes.

Finally, if you are looking for an LCD TV with good picture quality for affordable price. This is it. No more researches needed. I have done that part enough. Go for it and Enjoy.

I love the new Samsung LN52B750 television I purchased from Amazon. The picture is beautiful and I am totally satisfied. The only thing I am unhappy with is the fact that before I even received the television the Amazon price had dropped an extra $100 (a special they were running) and I was not allowed to benefit from that special. So if I had waited a couple of more days to order I would have saved $100.

Cheapest Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Monday, September 21, 2009

After searching local electronic stores and online for about a year and a half I finally took the leap and got this incredible TV. I have only had it for about a week, but already am so happy with the purchase. Reading horror stories about CEVA (delivery company) made me a little hesitant, but they were not a problem for me in the least. Simply track your package and call them to set up a delivery time if they don't call you first. They bring it in, unwrap, and turn it on for you to make sure that there is a signal. The rest is up to you.

The TV set has a lot of bells and whistles that I'm still playing with. However,I was a little misguided when it came to the 120 hz feature. I assumed that it would ALWAYS broadcast in 120hz for optimum clarity. I was wrong. The majority of the viewing is still in 60 hz and the 120 hz kicks in like a 'turbo' for high action sports scenes. That being said, the HD channels that Comcast offers through my DVR cable box are the most spectacular I have ever seen on any TV that I have ever owned. I can't complain at all about the superb color. Samsung is the way to go as far as features & style.

I am also going to stream Pandora/Netflix with the Samsung Blu ray that I purchased to go along with the television. Take the plunge and get this great TV...LIFE IS TOO SHORT...ENJOY IT!!Get more detail about Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color.

Apparently, there is something called "Samsung Echo." If you have another TV on in an adjacent room and turn on your Samsung, there is an audio delay of a few micro-seconds that is very annoying. Also, there is a shortage of standard connections (no S-video and only 2 composite inputs - using 2 composite inputs eliminates one component input, leaving only one component input) which is sad for a 3 grand TV. Sure, there are plenty of HDMI inputs, but are we all set up for only that connection? I need to use the 5.1 outputs from my DVD player to get Dolby Digital which means an HDMI input is useless to me. The factory settings for color are far too saturated to be natural, so do make your own settings. I have read several articles on the 240hz feature. Some say defeat this function. My set says it only is getting 720 x 480i @ 60hz. I called Samsung and got some mumbo-jumbo of why it is not saying it's in 240hz. Overall, it is an awesome set with decent sound. By the way, Amazon's delivery does NOT include set-up in your home. My delivery consisted of them bringing in the box, lifting up the top of the box, plugging in the set to confirm it's working and THAT'S IT! I had to flip the delivery men $20 to take the set out of the box and mount is on it's stand and set it on a table.

Buying Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Saturday, September 19, 2009

I needed a TV to replace an old 27" CRT in the bedroom, and after lots of shopping and comparing and reading my wife and I chose this one - we got a heck of a package deal on the TV, an 8' HDMI cable, and a Sylvania Blu-Ray player all for $999 (thank you AMAZON!!! - what a great purchasing experience from start to finish - including CEVA shipping/delivery!). The TV just arrived today (10 days from first placing the order), we got it set up within minutes, and the picture right out of the box looks fantastic - truly stunning. The 120Hz makes a noticeable difference in reducing motion-blur, and improves the overall clarity and crispness of the picture in my opinion. I love the fact that there are so many ways to adjust/tweak different settings to your own tastes - so if you don't like the de-judder effects but want the blur reduction, you can adjust them independent of one another - something the A series from last year doesn't allow.

Sound was a little thin initially, but some adjustments using the EQ and turning surround sound "on" made it sound much better. I plan on calibrating the picture later this week and can't wait to watch Blu-Ray movies on it, but believe me when I say that the picture will not disappoint.

Chose the Samsung b630 over the b650 series because a) it was significantly cheaper at the time we ordered, b) doesn't have the extra "widgets" that are useless to us, and c) has a semi-matte screen instead of the "ultra clear" screen of the 650s, which works great for us as we have some windows/lights to contend with. Chose the Samsung brand over other brands because of the price/performance ratio and all the positive reviews that these TV's consistently get. Finally, we chose LCD over other technologies because at this size (40"), LCD gives the best price/performance and doesn't use as much power as some of the other TVs (e.g., plasma).

This TV (as well as the bigger sizes) would be perfect as a primary TV - being able to use it as a secondary TV in the bedroom makes it seem like I really splurged - but it was a great bargain in my opinion and definitely MONEY WELL SPENT.Get more detail about Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color.

Save Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color

I got this TV from Fry's for $1999 ( $2465 - $400 samsung offer, after a a week they had a $65 off on that I got my refund). After 2 weeks there is one black very very thin horizontal line ( not sure what is righ ttechnical term but may be burnt pixels?) it is tough to find out but at a certain angle and white background it is easy to notice.

I got a replacement TV last week but for some reason the quality of the picture is really bad, both for high speed and slow speeds scenes there is soemtimes lot of blurr and distorted.
I am going a final test with Blue ray disc and check with a different TV , I am going to return the TV if I have a doubt on the quality of the picture.

Last but not least, I spend months in analyzing these TVs at this point I dont think it is worth spending $$ for 240Hz, 2ms reponse time, 150K contrast ratio and other stuff like internet.

Buy Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Friday, September 18, 2009

UPDATE: I had this TV a few weeks and was becoming disappointed with the picture quality (ghosting, pic not punchy)but found by adjusting the NR (Noise reduction- found in the menu under Picture Options - Digital NR) to High for a bad cable signal it significantly improved -so much that it is like a different TV ! WOW! Just a tip to help others. Also - if you get a Samsung DVD player with Anynet coordination be sure and turn on the BD Wise (on TV menu) and your movies will be great. A nice user friendly perk on the menu is that when you highlight an item it tells you at the bottom of the screen what that function does.
Original Review: Delivery: (Am emphasizing this because some reviewers had an issue with delivery) When I purchased the TV and checked out there was an option for Standard Delivery or Scheduled Delivery (for large and heavy items). I chose Scheduled and it was a snap. I picked my delivery date & time - it was 7 days later which I would expect. They called me that day and delivered the TV an hour early. The delivery person was aces. He set the TV up, put the batteries in the remote and even set up the channel scan and waited to see the picture come up and that all was working well. (And he even moved my old TV upstairs.) The only thing he could have done better was if he made the popcorn and got me a cold drink. I tipped him and rated him A+ - very nice man, also.
Now - the TV - the picture is great. I do love the non-glare screen as I have a lot of windows. The shiny frame practically disappears when you are watching it. To my relief the red hardly shows at all. The sound is good- the "Clear Voice" feature is excellent for my slight hearing loss. I have a sound system, but use the TV's sound. I am still learning about the advanced net features. A nice little thing is that on most TV's the idiot light (power on or off lt.) is on when you are watching it. I always taped this up as it was distracting. With this set the little red light is off when the set is on and shows when the set is off. I don't find the obscurity of the controls a problem, cause who doesn't use a remote?! There is a pleasant chiming sound for power on and off. One thing that is great: when Time Warner Cable updated their software my old TV (Panasonic and a nice TV) would not keep the screen aspect consistently. Every time I changed channels I would have to reset the aspect to fill the screen. But this Samsung LN40B630 is such an improvement - if you choose to set the screen size (eg. full screen) it maintains it even if you turn off the set and turn it back on. (That is the way it should be!) Now every channel fills up the screen. A nice bonus is the optional backlight in the remote. Even non-hd channels are much better than my other HD TV.
The pic is clear and bright. I use the Natural setting and tweaked it. For the lady with artifact problems - I had that too until I turned down the sharpness. Watching Nemo on the Dynamic setting was awesome...such beautiful colors. This set is hard to find sometimes. I had a nightmare with BestBuy...they told me they had when they didn't and kept my money until it cleared days later.
This is the 2nd HDTV I have purchased with Amazon and I am totally happy with them.Get more detail about Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color.

Low Price Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color

I have a Panasonic 50 inch 720p TV for years and been happy with it. I decided to upgrade to 1080p because I wanted to see my Blu-ray DVDs at their best. I chose the Samsung brand this time because of Consumer Reports recommendation and Amazon offered a pretty good deal.
The first time I turned it on, I was like OMG, I had re-discovered TV again! The clarity is just unbelievable and I feel like I'm in the middle of the show every time. I don't know if it is because of the 1080p 240Hz specifications or the good quality of a Samsung product, I just know I love my new TV!Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

Overall I'm happy with this TV, sound and picture are excellent. Only thing that really sucks is that you can't see the "on TV controls". Thats just a really dumb design error. When I unpacked the TV it took me 15 minutes just to find the "on " button. And that was after finding it on the instruction book!! I notice only one other person mentions that in his review. If you always use the remote its not an issue , however I bet a lot of owners don't even know there are actually control buttons on the tv panel.

The only negative to the tv is the sound...you really have to turn it way, way up to listen to movies or play video games. I just ordered a Polk soundbar and sub to go along with it.

Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color

The Samsung LN40B630 DOES/DOES NOT exist!

Try going into Samsung's download center for updates. There is a LN40B610 OR 640 but NO 630.

I hooked up my Sony Blu-Ray player [aka PS3 aka Super Linux computer] & got the message:
'Playback of BDs are prohibited on this system.
To play you must first update the system software.'

I just put in a support request. Will follow on when I know more.

My previous review before arrival was a 5 star. Based on about 1 year research. Samsung is quality brand & they are far ahead or the pack in 120/240 hz motion blur.

It arrived 4 days before estimated. Had it up & running in about 45 minutes. ******** 15 **** was finding the On/Off buttons - I had not pushed the power plug in solid. They really need to put a pull off decal where they are!!!!

With an engineering background, I read the user guide. In the back was all the Linux credits so I knew it was based on a Linux OS computer.
BAD NEWS Samsung uses their own patented flash memory so you are locked in buying ridiculously priced devices [$80 for usb wireless dongle]

Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color Right now

There is only one word needed to describe this tv. It is "wow!"

I had for a month the Samsung LN52A850 but returned it for this one. What a great decision! The A850 had a very nice picture but I had clouding and flashlighting problems. This one has neither. Also, the sound was horrendously tinny and muffled. This one is not a replacement for a home theater sound system, but it is at least understandable and good enough for casual daytime watching.

The inky blacks are becoming legendary. You should look up the CNET review, which puts the picture on this set at the top of all fluorescent-light LCD televisions they ever tested. It also has low power consumption, so it is more "green" than most other comparable products.

Many do not like or do not mention the features. Having Flickr access is really fun and opens a new world of content without watching TV. Yahoo videos are a little dated but many are interesting. I like the weather/stock price access but preferred the A850's small instant weather window. This one requires a few clicks and is quite slow. The slowness is not a big deal. If you cannot wait 10 seconds, then maybe you should go back to the office because if you're so stressed, you should be getting paid!

I do not miss my A850 at all. My daughter was watching this LN52B750 with me one day and all of a sudden during an HD animated commercial she said "wow!" I asked her to elaborate and she said the picture was fantastic. She never said this with the A850. My son-in-law says that the picture is much better than the A850.

Check out the CNET editorial review and also check out the AVS forum for the official LN52B750 owners thread. You'll see that there are few reservations about this tv all around. The most serious reservation about it is "black crushing," which causes some details to be lost in dark scenes. OK, so once in a great while the darks seem a little excessive. But that does not happen so often. If you're concerned, then maybe you should take a real careful look at electronics stores. I noticed a tiny bit of black crushing but the more intense colors are quite impressive along with the inky blacks.

I would have liked even better sound (or speaker-level outputs so that I could operate this without our high-fi system being on, and with my old outstanding external speakers from an old dead Sony XBR tv. I would also have liked a paper manual (only some of these come with paper manual, and it depends on the manufacturing date) but I can always download it. Interestingly, the manual on a USB stick is different from the one you can download on Samsung's website!

This tv is a no-brainer. Get it.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

Where To Buy Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Tuesday, September 15, 2009

I admit that I'm not a videophile and for years I got along well with a conventional TV, so I'm not sure if my review will be of much use to readers. And anyone that is getting their first HDTV will usually love it, no matter who the manufacturer is, so it's probably better to read reviews from those that have (or had) several HDTVs (especially from different manufacturers).

That being said, here is my opinion. It's a nice looking HDTV (but isn't really any nicer looking than many others). It plays high quality hi-def expertly, but as this video novice has found out, not all hi-def is the same (nor is std-def). The first blu-ray movie I played was 2001. It brought out tremendous detail and rich texture, so I was extremely impressed (yes, it had a "wow" effect). Hi-def sporting events (such as a baseball game) also looked very rich and detailed. Simply put, if the source material is high quality, this set seems to have the capability of bringing this out in full ... which is what it is all about.

And if the source isn't high quality? That's another story. Playing standard dvds on a regular dvd player doesn't make me sit up and take notice, but that's why I opted for the Oppo blu-ray / dvd up-converting player. Up-converting does indeed make a difference (but that's another story and another review). Also, std-def can be okay (at best) or very poor, but I didn't really buy this set for its std-def capability. Then again, the hi-def coming from DirecTV can be hit and miss because of limitations of that media source. Some programs are impressive, while others, not so much. Plus DirecTV's HD content can be jumpy with some mysterious audio burps, which is very distracting. This is NOT the fault of this, or any other, TV (it's a source problem), but I thought I'd mention it for all the DirecTV users out there.

The default settings are surprisingly good (I made only a few very minor adjustments to the sharpness, brightness and contrast using the "Spears & Munsil" benchmark blu-ray disk that was supplied with the Oppo player). The menus seemed well designed and I haven't had a problem going through them (just a problem of understanding what some of these settings really mean).

Since this set is in a very bright room (lots of windows), I needed a screen with a matt finish. It does a good job, but one will still see reflections (it does diffuse them well, thankfully). The viewing angle is decent, but not great. There is definitely a fairly narrow "sweet spot" (within about 30 degrees or so), but that's okay by me (I can figure out where I should sit). BTW, your mileage may vary (my girlfriend bought the identical set and her viewing angle is superior to mine ... could be different panel manufacturers).

As far as what I do not like, there are several items that I'll mention, but all are rather minor complaints:

1. The default AMP (auto motion plus) setting of "standard" (120 Hz), gives most programs the soap opera effect. Talk about weird! Fortunately, there are menu settings to adjust this, especially the ability to customize the setting via a slide bar menu option. The various AMP settings (clear = min; standard = medium; smooth = max), don't tell me much. Do any of these settings lower the 120 Hz rate? It was aggravating that Samsung doesn't explain this is.

2. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the front panel touch controls on the TV are difficult to see, and impossible in a dimly-lit room, which makes them useless. Then again, I haven't often used these controls in the past on my TVs, so this isn't really that big of a deal to me. I just found this to be a bad design choice.

3. Since I'm more of an audiophile, I found the sound coming from this set to be pretty bad ... to put it mildly (yes, I adjusted the equalizer and turned on SRS, which helped, but audio is an afterthought on TVs and always has been). I use a separate sound system (as I did with my older CRT TV) and recommend that most people should do the same.

4. Because this HDTV does so much, there is a huge amount of information to process and the manual is a bit difficult to read. The diagrams are too small (as well as the print) and many are too dark. This set has a slew of options and not all are given their just due. Explanations are often brief and some confusing (does the HDMI/DMI port work with a standard HDMI cable, or must one use that port only with a DMI to HDMI adapter?). Basically, I found the manual just okay (after rereading it a few times, but YMMV).

Since it is impossible to make a judgement of picture quality in stores (I don't have the foggiest idea of how they have been set up), picking the Samsung was a crapshoot. And unless I tested several brands in my home, I have no way of knowing which is the best ... for me. Would I be just as happy with another brand? Probably. Still, I give this Samsung a solid 8 out of 10 (or a 4-star rating). It seems to be a reasonably priced set and can reproduce a quality source in fine, and at times, extremely impressive detail, but don't ask me which manufacturer has the best HDTV, because I simply don't have a clue.Get more detail about Samsung LN40B630 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color.

If you want a real review on this TV you must take it from the absolute professionals. There is no one in the US that knows picture quality better than Craig Rounds (from CIR-Engineering) he has over 120,000$ worth of equipment. He is not CNET that hooks the computer up and uses a 1000$ meter to read the color. He travels around the country calibrating reference home theater systems. He has absolutely no incentive to give a good review! This TV is better than the Pioneer Elite Kuro. Once calibrated it has comparable black levels. Out of the box it has superior video processing; Moreover, you do not need to worry about burn-in's. It beats all the LCD and LED TVs on the market. The only LED tv that tie's are last years model's with local dimming. I did, no kidding, nearly 50 hours of research on different TVs and this is the best. The reason I went with this unit instead of a new LED set is strictly due to near perfection of LCD technology. LED is a new technology, it still has a lot of kinks to work out (Dead pixels, etc..). It will definitely be a better set in the years to come, but this year the b750 take the cake. Now take a ride on any Blu-Ray movie and it's easy to see how it out preforms all the Panasonic Plasma's, Well with there "Flicker" problem with Panasonic on 1080 24P (which is definitely the best viewing quality.

I had price-shopped for several months for Samsung's 650,750,850 and 860 52 inch models and Sonys's XBR-6 and W series Bravia 52 inch models. Then, Amazon offered Samsung's LN52B750 model at a competitive introductory price. I was particularly attracted to the faster refresh rates and improved contrast of the new model. When I realized the older models were in the same price range as the 750B sale price, the deal was made.

Note this, for impressive service! I ordered it on Monday and watched it in my living room on Wednesday. Pilot Trucking delivered "as advertised", even assisting in moving my old TV. Good job, Amazon and Pilot!

Overall, we are very pleased with the picture. With the HDTV, I have watched two movies that I enjoyed better on this TV than when I saw them in the theater. The sound is not great, but it is as good as I expected, and it is at least as good as the deluxe console model it replaced. (I have not heard any built-in TV speakers in stores that I thought were significantly better.) For movies, and special shows, we use an external speaker system.

Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color Review Thursday, September 10, 2009

I received my tv yesterday and I love it! I got the $400 off special that Amazon was having and couldn't resist the savings. I was worried that the picture might not be as good as my Sony XBR960 that it was replacing but the picture is every bit as good on high def material. Even the standard definition I am pleased with. (Note: I have everything hooked up via HDMI cables and my source is a HD Cable box from Comcast.) The tv looks great and I love how the tv swivels and tilts in case you need to move it a few degrees. I played Halo 3 on "game mode" and it was awesome! I noticed no lag at all although you do have to use "game mode" to not experience a lag. The 3D in your face soap opera effect does take some getting used to but if you don't like it there are plenty of tweaks to do in the main menu to have that effect go away. Only problem I noticed is the funny shaped remote control....the "up" button does not work at all on my unit. I use a Harmony One remote but still will be returning the Samsung remote for one that works fully. Other than that the tv is awesome and I'm glad I bought it. If your on the fence about buying this tv let me assure you that you will be very pleased unless your a hardcore snobby elitist videophile then I would suggest you go buy a Pioneer Kuro Elite or wait till the technology from the Star Trek Holodeck is available. If anyone has any settings for this tv please list a link. The colors are pretty accurate but I'm sure something could use some tweaking as I really don't feel like spending another $300 in a ISF Calibration. Thanks for reading and I hope this helps.

EDIT: I called Samsung about my remote control problem and within 5 minutes customer service (nice friendly lady) ordered me a new remote and said it should be delivered in 7-10 days. Also should note that Samsung has not outsourced their customer service which after dealing with Amazon and Paypal customer support recently was a welcomed relief.

I'm very pleased with this set. The HD picture is top notch. The standard def picture is just OK, but that's as good as you can expect with a standard signal. The set itself is also very nice looking, though I must say I don't really see this red "touch of color" that Samsung claims. That's not really a big deal to me though.

I bought this straight from Amazon with free shipping. Everything went smoothly. The delivery guy brought the set in the house and just opened up the box to make sure it wasn't damaged. He didn't plug it in to see if it would turn on though. Luckily it turned on and worked fine once I assembled the stand.

Samsung LN32B550 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color Review

I have traditionally been a fan of the Sharp, or Sony TV's, however, I was looking for a TV to fit in a cabinet in my bedroom. I wanted to get the largest one that would fit my space restrictions. The Samsungs, in general, seem to sit lower on their stands than most other brands and really provided the only 32 inch option that would fit my height restrictions. I sure am glad this was the case.

This TV is wonderful. The best part is the picture. It just looks great. The swivel stand is a very nice touch too. I hadn't been looking for it, but it is quite useful as the TV is not directly in front of the bed. The settings and adjustments available are plentiful and adequate. The menus to access them are clean and intuitive.

Another wonderful feature is the energy saving modes. One can set varying levels of energy saving which controls the intensity / brightness of the light for lower power consumption. There is even an auto mode that will adjust the intensity based on what is currently on the screen. This is perfect for the bedroom. When it is late and I am starting to fall asleep I don't like the TV as bright. Energy saving mode is perfect for this and it saves power.

Another feature that I have been wanting in a TV and didn't have until now is a volume moderator. The TV will increase or lower volume automatically to make up for varying source volumes.

The TV seems performant. I haven't had a chance to plug my gaming laptop into one of the 4 HDMI inputs, but with heavy action scenes on TV I haven't seen any ghosting of images. Blacks look black and colors are sharp. No noticable artifacts of any kind.

All in all I am very happy with the purchase.Get more detail about Samsung LN32B550 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color.

I ordered the Samsung 52B750 under Amazons $400 additional discount special 5 days before the June 1 program expiration date. On June first I receive an email from Amazon saying that my "gift card" payment could not be processed and my TV order has been cancelled. What gift card?? I used my Amazon credit card to pay for the TV. I called Amazon Visa and was told that no "charge" had been submitted to my account, and if it had been, there would be no reason why it would not have been accepted. I called Amazon customer service and got connected to someone who could barely speak English...no doubt Amazon out sources to workers in foreign countries instead of employing American workers. After requesting and speaking with a "supervisor" (who also spoke broken English) I was advised to re-order the TV, but nothing could be done to retain the original $400 discount as it was past the program expiration date. I politely told the "supervisor" that I was extremely unhappy with this and that Amazon would never see my business again. Against my better judgement, I did reorder the TV and to my surprise the "expired" $400 discount appeared at check out !

I received the TV last Friday, only one day later than the original order had been scheduled for delivery. The Pilot delivery man was top notch. He did not have a helper with him yet he wanted to struggle carrying the heavy and bulky box upstairs and into my bedroom without my help. I insisted that I give him a hand because he never could have done it alone. He quickly unpacked the TV and connected it to verify that it showed a picture.

Now for my opinion of this TV. If their was a rating less than one star, it would have deserved it! Comparing it to my inexpensive 37" Vizio TV the picture is horrible. Any text on the screen has fuzzy edges to it. The picture reminds me of an old rear projection TV with color bulbs out of alignment. DVD playing performance can be described as "shaky"...almost enough to get the viewer sea sick. No amount of fine tuning the adjustments made any noticable difference to the picture. To top it all off, the remote only works when it decides to! Trying to switch between the various TV inputs with the remote is an exercise in fustration. A change of batteries made no difference. I can add this product to the list of other devices made by Samsung that have not performed well for me. That includes a DLP TV that blew lamps every 800 hours and now has completely stopped working, a upconversion DVD player that lasted about a week past the warranty expiration and a digital tuner that thought it was a room heater. I will never purchase another Samjunk product. I am going to call Amazon to have this TV exchanged for a new Sony 52" Bravia Z Series. Unlike this Samsung, the Sony comes with an actual physical owners manual and an S-video imput for those who might still want to hook up a VCR and get a decent picture from it. I will continue to update my experience regarding returning the TV.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

I purchased the samsung LN52B750 after much review and careful thought and this is one of the best tv out there in the market. I absolutely love all the features in this TV and the picture quality is amazing.

But I would like to inform you all of one thing.
This TV does not support Closed captioning on Component input and I think HDMI input too but i am not sure about HDMI as my cable box did not have hdmi output.

When you call Samsung tech support, they would first try to tell you that it is the problem of the cable box, then when I explain it to them that captioning is enabled on the box, they would finally say that component inputs cannot support closed captioning or something like that. I have another Panasonic TV which does display the closed captioning when I connect the same source to its component inputs which proves that the cable box is outputting the CC info on the component outputs.


After hours on the phone with Samsung tech support and a technician coming to my house, the only conclusion everybody comes to is that the TV does not support it on component inputs.

Now i keep wondering that if we buy a $2500 TV, who would want to watch video on composite input. We would want to connect it to either component input or HDMI but by doing that we don't get the closed caption feature.

Isnt it required by law that all TV manufacturers support CC on their TV. Maybe samsung is getting away with it because they can say that they do support it on composite input. But isnt that plain absurd because nobody is going to use the RF input or the AV input on a big screen TV with 1080p resolution. So basically what samsung is saying that either you get Closed captioning or u get good picture quality but not both.

First samsung has to acknowledge that they have a problem before they can fix it. I am just struggling to get samsung to acknowledge this issue.
Till then I will have to live without CC.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

You know all the usual things--terrific hi-def picture, handsome black-framed screen with a slice of red on the bottom horizontal edge, good range of movement left and right. But here's the best part: for someone who didn't know the difference between BluTooth and BluRay, hooking up the auxiliaries was a color-coded breeze. A tangential benefit: the delivery person was careful about unpacking and setting up the set and helpful about explaining its use.Get more detail about Samsung LN32B550 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color.
