Samsung LN52A750 It is Just Simply Fantastic.

When I buy something I do a lot of research and watch the technologies for a while before investing.. I have owned a Sony XBR3 40" for 1 1/2 years and always have been a fan of Sony audio/video xbr/ES gear. I have it hooked up to a HD/dvr and have been very happy with the purchase.. I
recently have redone my basement and have been looking for a 46"/52" lcd tv for a while now. I just purchased and received the LN52A750 and ohhh
my lord, it is just amazing what this thing can do.. Especially when compared to such a top notch competitor like the XBR albeit that one is 60hz and the other at 120hz it is still truly amazing what kind of video experience the Samsung can create. You feel like you are going to fall in to the picture it is so clear especially with a well controlled/ dimmed theater lighting system. It is connected to the Sony STRDG820 7.1 Audio Video Receiver and the Harmon Kardon HKTS-18 5.1 Channel Speaker System from the HD Cable dvr... The Samsung 1500 or Sony PS3 blue-ray dvd player will probably be forth coming when they get off their high horses and drop their prices to more realistic numbers. I do consider myself a long time videophile and I am really glad I got the Samsung.

** The White glove delivery service was extremely quick (4 days from order click) not to mention was curtious, on-time, and with a smile.. My wife called me at work to say how impressed she was with the delivery.

** The Halo effect when in a viewed in a very dark room is noticeable but does not bother me at all. IMHO considering the quality of the video why would you look any where else other than the middle of that beauty of a screen.

** We both love the TOC, it is really not noticeable at all.

** Unit does get warm pretty quick which makes me glad I got the articulating wall mount to pull it out from the entertainment center.

** The remote with it's controls is not my favorite and the circular spinning dial thing really does not work consistently enough for me to do anything other than be annoying.

** I can agree that there is a little bit of a lag time when going thru menu controls that gets a little annoying when you are used to immediate response time but considering how often I go thru menus it really is not a big deal.
However, those are the only two things that I really care to complain about!! Which to me is really nothing considering the video experience you get as well as I am using my HD Cable box remote after the set has been configured anyway..

Needless to say I am a very happy camper. This is my first review but I must say Thanks for all of the previous input from all the other posters it does help the process quite a bit. So make sure to take the time to post one of your own if you have not yet before.

If you can afford the high price tag (that jumps around WAY TOO MUCH on amazon) I strongly suggest this as a great home theater LCD TV for you.
