- Samsung LCD
- I bought this for our bedroom and the picture quality is excellent; equal to or better than the plasma in our living room. I feel the menu functions are straight foward and easy to navigate.

- A750 better than the LN-T4081F
- I recently purchased the Samsung LN-T4081F series and loved the display and look of it. The base swiveled, it had a light in front of the monitor, the unbelievable 500,000:1 dynamic contrast, and of course the LEDs that turn off to bring out the deep blacks. Everything was perfect for the TV EXCEPT for the "Anti-Judder" function of LED motion plus. It wasn't nowhere as good as the 120Hz the A750 has. The A750 delivers beautiful deep blacks just like the 81F series did and both have beautiful color displays. The A750 in my opinion is a notch better because of the 120Hz this TV delivers. I could not take the judder of fast moving objects on the 81F. I wanted crystal clear HD quality all around and the A750 has that. I couldn't ask for anything more.

- Excellent TV - works ok for Linux/home networking, HDHomeRun
- This is my first high definition set. I chose this TV for the DLNA compatiblity. If you're not looking for networking, the 650 is probably a better choice. The extra subwoofer is of no value to me, anyway. I have the set connected to a high quality A/V receiver with speakers, and the sound quality is much better than with the TV alone with its built-in subwoofer. There is no comparison. If you're not using it through a conventional audio system, it might help some, but don't count on getting high quality audio without larger speakers. The extra $200 or so for this set over the 650 is primarily justified by its networking capability.
Picture quality is incredible. The upconversion engine seems to do an excellent job at converting low definition video. I've watched standard DVDs via component video and SD TiVo programming via the S-Video input, and both look great. I've seen older HDTV sets that have washed out video when showing SD material, and this one definitely does not have that problem.
The tuner sensitivity is very good. The analog tuner pulls in stations better than anything else I've seen. The digital sensitivity ends up being not quite as good as my HTL-HD HDTV converter box, however, which has about the best sensitivity I've seen for a digital tuner. One or two digital stations the HTL-HD receives cannot be received by the TV in a similar setup.
I already have an extensive home media system and wanted to be able to stream media from Linux PCs to the television set. There are many pitfalls in getting this set up, but with a properly operating DLNA server and a compatible video source, it is possible to stream high definition (1920x1080) video. My present setup includes a HDHomeRun networked HDTV tuner, which sends data to a Pentium III 800 MHz PC with Linux, which saves the data to disk, and then serves it using the Fuppes DLNA server program. There are no dropouts, and everything seems to work fine. One big drawback, however - you can't fast forward or rewind networked material.
The TV has no problem with JPEG and MP3 files once set up properly. I had an issue with Fuppes on JPEG files, but the problem was with the program, not the TV. MP3 files must be sampled at 44.1 kHz or perhaps 48 kHz to work properly. I had some files from cassettes that were recorded at a 32 kHz sample rate, and the TV would not play them directly. Fortunately, Fuppes can transcode the files on the fly.
All in all, an excellent value if you need a TV with networking capability. Be prepared to spend a lot of time tinkering with software and settings to get the networking operating correctly. - 2008-09-01, 8 of 8 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Top of the line LCD for its price range
- Right now for the price you paid from the internet store (1300-1500 bucks) this thing can't be beat. If you get this from the brick and mortar store you will never going to get this price. I thought my plasma panasonic 58pz700u delivered stunning picture color and brightness but this thing is even more impressive. After watching movies on the 58" for a long while I think 40" is way too small. It will serve my purpose well since I bought this for my son to play his video games on... no more burn in worry on my plasma tv. his complaint now is that his rockstar game does not appears as good as it was on the plasma. that's his problem, haha.
Plus: picture, picture, and picture...and brilliant color and plenty of control and configuration. All those available inputs.
Minus: red plexiglass edge look ok but it serves no purpose...i thought it would be like sony xbr glass that has glowing light along the edge but it does not. i rather have them solid black. i can live with it if it has no flaw along the edge. as you know anything that is transparent when it has flaw or uneven edge it will amplify its flaw. mine has too many dimples to count. and then the weird looking remote control. The TV and the remote control design do not match. one is minimalist another is avantgard. look like an after thought or recycle design to me. the picture aspect leave more to be desired. switch to 4:3 will crop the screen and will not automagically maximize the screen size. i'm still figuring out how to toggle screen size...don't have time to read the manual yet.
for those who are in the market for an lcd tv right now this one is a great buy. i was going to buy the 52" lcd when i shopped for hdtv last year but many reviews advised not to get one if your purpose is to watch movie. so i got the plasma and got bigger screen for the same dollars. since lcd tv is now on par with plasma in refresh rate i believe that you can ignore that advice. if you can afford a bigger screen size and have place to put it then opt for the bigger size. you don't want to be regret that spending a little more dough will increment your viewing screen exponentially. this samsung ln40a750 is going to be future proof for many years to come. - 2008-08-30, 5 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
