WilliWu rated the LN40B750 as 5/5 and says - My first Sports Worthy LCD, 240Hz Makes a Big Difference - This was the last of four CRT TVs that I replaced with flat panels and I now have two Plasmas and two LCDs. I ordered from Amazon and they used a delivery company called Pilot. Pilot called me four days after I placed the order to report that it had arrived in the Boston area and set up a delivery appointment. Pilot showed up on time and put the boxed TV in the room of my choice. The set weighs just over 30 pounds and setup was a no-brainer. Don't be bothered by the paucity of paper instructions; It's all on a USB drive that fits into one of the TVs USB connectors. I haven't even needed mine.
As for performance, the 240Hz appears to completely eliminate the "LCD Motion Blur" that makes my older Samsung 60Hz unacceptable for fast moving sports. I may have to update this after the NFL season starts, but for now it appears to be on a par with my plasmas -- something I had not expected. Overall, I would rank the picture quality as excellent.
One comment on aesthetics: I like the plain black frame a lot better than the bright red "touch of color" that surrounds most of the other Samsungs.
Overall I'm very happy with the TV and with the Amazon buying experience. I would recommend it to anyone buying a new TV.

Steven Maye rated the LN40B750 as 5/5 and says - Samsung LN40B750 - Five stars for this great unit! Samsung hit another winner with this product. Picture perfect, easy set up and really decent sound. Easy to use lighted remote. No motion worries with the latest 240hz setup.
Grey touch of color is very attractive. Swivel base works great for viewing at different locations in my family room with no problems viewing at any angle. No problems with screen reflections either.
Menus are easy to walk through for any user adjustments.
I also purchased and installed the wireless USB device. Easy to install and set up also.
I would highly recommend this set to anyone.

H Dinkel rated the LN40B750 as 5/5 and says - Great TV - I'm really pleased with the whole process of ordering, delivery and set up, and I'm especially pleased with the TV. We already have a smaller Samsung LCD flat panel so buying the LN40B750 was a no brainer. I watch a lot of sports and with the 240Hz motion capability, I don't notice any motion distortion. Set up was easy, the picture quality is top notch and the wife can't get me out of my recliner!

H. H. Hudspeth rated the LN40B750 as 5/5 and says - Best you can get for the price. - I'm pretty picky about my electronics, especially televisions and monitors, but after a month this one has met my expectations. The 240Hz setting is really just beneficial during fast moving sports, but without it movies on blu-ray look amazing. Gaming was also a concern of mine, but input lag was barely noticable in "game mode." I highly recommend it.

Tums rated the LN40B750 as 5/5 and says - Nice TV, but I'm connector clueless - I saw the high ratings Samsung gets, and chose this model for the 240Hz, 2 ms response, 150,000:1 contrast, and a price within my budget of $1475 on 6/19/09. Amazon delivered in 5 days by a shipper called Pilot, who set it up in one minute. The packaging is a tech marvel - 4 handles lock the top to the bottom, just 2 foam corners, no outer box needed, easy to save in case of return.
NOW for the dizzying array of connections. I'm all for it. But I had no clue which cables to buy, even just for my cable box (hey, I'm 62). I wish that the info I received with the TV had been in the specs online and that there was just one sentence saying 'research cables you will need.' Still trying to sort it all out. The picture has a sort of 3D look and nice glow and I'm assuming it will be sharp when I get the cable.

Matt rated the LN40B750 as 5/5 and says - Excellent Picture, No red bezel! - Wow! This panel is really amazing. I have been researching sets for several months. It came down to the Sony XBR6 and the Samsung A650. Quite frankly I loved the Samsung picture but could not really accept the red "Touch of Color" bezels... just a personal choice I guess. Anyways, I purchased the Sony a few weeks ago on clearance and thought I was getting a great deal. Unfortunately the picture on the Sony was a real let down. It seemed dull and dim (even after adjusting the settings several times per different recommendations online and turning off the auto-dimming setting). My old DLP set even seemed crisper when I compared them side by side which was just not acceptable. Perhaps I got a bunk panel but after googling "dim XBR6" it seems like several people noticed the same thing I did.

I started doing more research and noticed that Amazon started carrying this television within the last week or two. Samsung must have caught on that they were losing sales due to their red color fetish as this panel is a beautiful dark shade of gray. Anyways, the XBR was returned and this panel replaced it. It's as clean crisp and clear as you could imagine from a non LED backlit panel. Its like night and day between this set and the Sony. The action is clear and crisp and the picture is just impressive. I highly recommend this panel, it is absolutely the clearest picture around without paying the huge premium for an LED set. You will not regret going with this TV. The only negative I would mention is that the panel is fairly reflective compared to the Sony. Definitely not an issue when the set is on but when turned off its definitely noticable.

A. Koziol rated the LN40B750 as 5/5 and says - Very happy with my purchase. 240Hz is cool. - I received my LN40B750 this past Friday and have now had all weekend to kick the tires and be amazed at its capabilities. I had already submitted a review, but not sure where it went.

As I had stated in my now missing review, I am very impressed with this set's image quality and ease of use. Setup was pretty easy and only required me to fasten 4 screws to mount and lock the base to the bottom of the set. Connected the optical out to my receiver (Yamama RX-V750) and ran my DVD player's component cables right into the set. Now, I can finally enjoy progressive scan mode. What a HUGE difference that made! One thing I have to address is a negative comment made by another person who was complaining of stereo output from the optical out jack, instead of 5.1 surround sound. This is 100% contingent on what the broadcaster is pushing out, NOT the TV. Yes Jimmy, the evening news ONLY needs to be in plain vanilla stereo, not 5.1 surround sound. I can confirm that it does push out L/R stereo on the evening news and certain other broadcasts. Some broadcasts caused only my center channel to push out audio while others gave me L/C/R output so don't blame Samsung at all if you're getting stereo or 3-channel output. Watching ZOOM last night made all 5.1 channels on my receiver light up like a Christmas tree. I am so thrilled to watch some of my favorite shows in 5.1 now.

So, one of the main reasons I bought this was because of the 240Hz processing and 2ms response time, and, on my wife's recommendation, the panel design. 240Hz processing it is both neat and surreal. Other reviewers have stated that it give the picture a sort of Soap Opera-like effect but I would have to say no to this assessment. When I think of Soap Opera, I think of very apparent action happening on a stage/set with poor or harsh lighting and shadows: sort of campy. I can see where people liken it to that but it's not quite accurate. When enabled and set to its "Standard" mode, 240Hz processing makes certain fast-moving scenes seem very fluid, almost as if it were a live feed/broadcast not too dissimilar to reality TV. It gives motion a more smooth appearance as it is being displayed on screen. When I turned this Friday's episode of Numb3rs on, there was a bus chase scene that looked like it was coming from a live TV broadcast. Turning off 240Hz processing made it seem like "produced" TV does. I am now convinced and a convert to what 240Hz processing can do for TV. I decided to try it out on a DVD: Princess Mononoke. Wow! Some scenes looked like real-time 3D without 3D glasses. I am impressed. It takes a bit of getting used to but even my wife commented on how 3D some scenes appeared and how almost TOO real it makes the image look. She admits she is now addicted to this set. Also, I happened to turn the channel to see an old episode of 1960s Batman and it looked like a live broadcast! Neat but a bit weird. Overall, I think 240Hz processing is just an augmentation to what is already there.

I also have to discuss blockiness with certain scenes and fast moving action: I have thus far encountered NONE. When I have watched football or some other fast-moving stuff on other people LCD panels, all I saw was blocks and digital artifacting and that always turned me off to LCD. I get none of that with this set so far. I put on a baseball game, Olympic re-run highlights, smooth as silk. Not sure if it's because I am running RG6 cabling throughout my house but I am here to attest that the blockiness I hate on LCDs is not present on this set. A+ for that Samsung.

I was also worried about screen glare and reflection with this set as it DOES come with Ultra Clear Panel. I have a large window that faces opposite the set and when off, I can see a reflection. BUT! When the set it on, it's all business and NO glare. Try as I might, I see no glare or reflection. That is impressive. Kudos to Samsung (and the 150000:1 contrast probably helps too!).

The Touch of Grey is cool, no more illuminated border. I was also happy to play around with the widgets and other little built-in goodies. The built-in Ethernet jacks lets you plug it into a router or whatever to perform firmware updates and download new stuff to the widgets section. My wife LOVES the Art widget that displays Monet images to serene piano music. Some think this is gimmicky stuff, I think it's a GREAT example of convergence. A+ to Samsung for this stuff. I was also pleased to receive the full LN40B750 manual with my set. I wonder if people were upset by Samsung going green and putting the manual on a USB stick and built-in to the TV? I think it's smart as opposed to trying to dig up where the manual went.

My only gripe with the set is not being able to cycle through the inputs (Video 1, Video 2, Component 1, HDMI 1, etc.) by just depressing the button. While the TV's GUI menu system is nice, I hate using a GUI to navigate to the input I want to use. I'm old-school and like to cycle through the inputs. It would be nice if changing input methods (GUI versus multiple button depressions) was an option in the settings somewhere. The remote is pretty standard and sleek and doesn't have the dial that I have heard so many complain about. It may be that Samsung went back a bit and just kept things simple with a standard button layout you'd find on most any TV remote. On a scale of 1-10, this set is a solid 9.5 for me. You would be happy with it's many options. 240Hz may not be for everyone but it is cool in my book. If you are considering the LN40B650, you will be happy spending the extra $ on this set for the 2ms response time and 240Hz processing.

Nathaniel G. Elam rated the LN40B750 as 5/5 and says - Absolutely fantastic picture! - I upgraded to this set from a lesser Samsung LCD, so I was already familiar with Samsung's quality, but this set blew me away! Fantastic picture, not a trace of clouding or flashlights, a very uniform panel. Set up was simple, and Amazon's delivery service, Pilot, did an excellent. Overall one of the most pleasant purchasing experiences in my life!

Blu-Rays look jaw dropping great! The flexible adjustments in the menu made setting it up very easy. I would recommend a calibration disc like DVE's HD basics. One of the great things that sets this set apart from a lot of the other 240Hz sets is the flexibility in the AMP settings. I set Blur reduction to 10 and Judder reduction to 0 and the set looks fantastic, no TBE or SOE at all!

T. Voughs rated the LN40B750 as 4/5 and says - Great LCD TV!!! - This television is excellent!! It's black levels are very deep, contributing to excellent shadow detail in dark viewing material. The screen is highly uniform with no noticeable bright areas or stuck pixels. The colors are accurate and vibrant. The 240Hz processing works pretty well, smoothing out motion blur and reducing judder, but the effect takes some getting used to. Even standard definition TV looks pretty good on this set, but doesn't hold a candle to any HD content. Highly recommended!!

Daniel Mezynski rated the LN40B750 as 4/5 and says - Very nice TV for a little bit of a premium. - This TV is a bit more than I needed, but I know that going into purchasing.

I like the there is no red color in the bezel. The picture is very good, it really feels that the foreground movement is separated from the background. This gives everything the feel of 3D. I don't know if this is from the motion plus smoothing or if this is normal on newer TVs. It feels weird to watch, but I might get used to it.

The widgets and add-ons are neat, but gimmicky. The processing behind them is slow so there is a lot of lag in the controls.

The media connectivity to me seems pretty aweful. THere may be some settings I have not found yet, but I tried to play a DIVX TV show from my computer using the software provided. The TV played the video but the aspect ratio was way off, it placed the video in the center of the screen, it was very small as well. In comparison if I play the same video from my PlayStation 3 it looks fantastic on the screen.

The connection options are fantastic, lots of choices.

The delivery process was great. They brought the TV to where I wanted it, but did not wait for me to plug it in and test as others had stated.


Picture: looks great for blu-ray movies and the few HD channels that I pull in without a box.

Sound: I do not use the built in speakers

Extras: widgets and extras are neat, but gimmicky, slow, and not terrible useful.

Value: A little expensive, but it's a new TV so thats to be expected, I feel that it is worth what I paid.

pauly rated the LN40B750 as 4/5 and says - where are we going with this? - i have the ln40a650 and the ln40b750 and i'm starting to wonder why i pay so much more than a more economical lcd set, is it the 120 or 240 hz? , i'm not so sold on it anymore, and yes i have the 100 dollar hdmi cables, the 120 and 240 hz is noticeable in film content but, for regular viewing it is inconsistent at best, as a matter of fact, the whole HD experience for viewing regular programming is unstable, so why keep paying so much more? my blu ray player looks great on this set, though i bet it would look good on any lcd or plasma, expensive or not, and as for the widgets, ho hum, i have many other options available for weather, stocks or useless information, the makers of these more expensive sets keep selling us on these new ideas, but, is it worth it? i'm gonna have to say no, at least not yet anyway.............it's a very good set, i just think overpriced a bit
