This TV is everything I expected. It was delivered quick and trouble free. The picture is amazing as you would expect even right out of the box. Some people complained about the speakers which I feel sound fine for TV speakers. I have it connected to 7.1 surround for movies anyway. Also, some complained about the remote, I found it rather intuitive but I have had Samsung products before so I may be used to the arrangement. I would recommend this TV to anyone.

Great TV!! I love the touch of grey, was originally going to get an A series, but when it was time to buy the B series was pretty much the same price. Blu-ray movies look incredible, at times the picture looks fake b/c it's so clear! Watching sports in HD is great, but sometimes the picture blurs. I'm pretty sure it's the HD feed from my cable company and not the TV, b/c some channels are clearer than others.

I have been living with this TV for about 5 months now, and I really can't say too many bad things about this TV. I had high expectations, bt had no idea they would be met so clearly.
Are there things I would like to have improved? Of course. But lets just start a list.
Picture clarity and color: Great. I haven't found the "Perfect" setup yet, but it came very nice out of the box and I am not in a hurry to sit and mess with it for a few hours for what would amount to a small incremental improvement.
Upscaling: Much better than the Receiver I have it hooked up to (Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K 7-Channel A/V Receiver (Black)) which by the way is amazing, especially for the price. Use the TV for upscaling, not the receiver.
Performance: Great. I use for Wii, PS3 (Games and Blue Ray), and Digital Cable. No problem with high action games or fast movement. No special settings needed. Just played Batman: Arkham Asylum and Wet (no not adult) with great results.
Sound: Who cares, I use a receiver. But it is fine for a TV.
Size: Awesome, especially from my 10 foot viewing range.
O.K. there are some small gripes, but far from show stoppers.
Media Play through USB: It works great, but certain embedded audio tracks get out of sync more and more through the movie.
Also, COME ON, SAMSUNG! pay for the license for DTS. I have mkv files that I don't want to mux up and not be as good.
Also, would it kill you to be able to play a m2ts file.
I would especially like to see Media Play through eSata Port. No worries of file size then.
The new firmware update did add fast forward and rewind and a couple other nifties, but the above would be better.
Shipping and Service: Amazon was difficult at best on the order. I was on the phone with customer service more than 8 times to get the thing paid for and delivered, and eventially lost the interest free payment I was looking for.
When it was delivered, the box was severely damaged. I almost didn't accept it, but I got on the phone with the Big Screen Department, and they were great. They were ready to ship a new one and pick up the old that same day. I plugged it in and everything worked fine. (Did I mention the entire lower right corner of the box was ripped off, ie dropped). That caused the remote and extra junk to be missing but I ordered that through Samsung and the Big Screen Dept reimbursed me that day.
Aamazon Customer Service: Shame on you. Big Screen Dept Kudos.
Overall great set. When my wife saw I ordered it she said, "Why would we ever need such a big TV?" I looked at her because I didn't even come close to understanding the question.
Now she just looks at me and says, " We really made a great decision with this TV, it is amazing." HMMMPH.

I'll try my best to be fair with this review. I think this set has its merits but too many flaws really bring it down.
While in some ways, this TV is a step forward for Samsung's line of LCD TVs, it's a huge step backwards in other ways. Compared to last year's LN52A750, the B750 has slightly better black levels, considerably less flashlighting/clouding, and a convenient swivel stand. Overall, the picture boasts vibrant colors and incredible detail. I was really blown away with the look of blu-ray movies at native 24p motion in full 1080p resolution. Samsung really packed in a ton of features, bells, and whistles with this set. I loved it for the first day I owned it, but I soon started noticing some troubling issues.
What really ruins this set for me are three hugely important things: (1) poor motion processing (2) significant input lag and (3) poor viewing angles. The sad thing is that I have a 32" Samsung LCD from 2006 (LNS3251D) that outperforms the B750 in all of these aspects. I'll go into each in detail:
(1) Motion Processing
For all of Samsung's boasting about the much-vaunted 240hz mode, I was surprised at how poorly this set handled motion. Perhaps it's all of the sophisticated image processing that's applied in modern LCDs. But apart from native 24p sources, the B750 exhibited some bizarre motion artifacts. Motion on this set would alternate between looking silky smooth (too much, to a fault) and being suddenly jerky and even seizing up for a split second. It's a slightly subtle phenomenon to detect, but it leaves the viewing feeling dizzy. Even with 240hz modes applied (I tried a large combination of de-judder and de-blur), the phenomenon continued to exist.
While we're on the issue of 240hz, I'm personally not a believer in these modes and find them gimmicky. While in 240hz mode, the set interpolates the motion between frames, which leads to artificially and unrealistically smooth motion, often referred to as the "soap opera effect". This completely ruins the natural cadence of film and tv dramas, but can be helpful for watching sports. It's merely a bandaid, in my opinion, as it never approaches the natural motion processing of plasma or CRT tvs.
The only solution to the motion processing issue was to apply Game Mode, which inherently disables a lot of picture controls and reduces the amount of image processing. I didn't find this to be an acceptable solution at all. Sadly, here, my 3 year old LNS3251D doesn't exhibit these motion artifacts at all. Last year's A750 also handles motion far better than the B750.
(2) Input Lag
Samsung claims a 2ms response time with this set. I find this hard to believe. When watching blu-rays, I noticed a significant lag in the picture that led to lip-sync errors. This is correctable either by using Game Mode or setting the audio lag on your a/v receiver. When auto-calibrating video lag in Rock Band 2, the B750 measured about 130ms without Game Mode and 76ms with Game Mode. By comparison, the LNS3251D (rated 8ms by Samsung) measured 36ms without Game Mode (I didn't bother trying Game Mode bc this was excellent performance). It didn't suffer from any of the lip-sync error of the B750. What happened in the past three years?!
(3) Viewing Angles
Finally, viewing angles are a serious problem for this set. It has a very small sweet spot (eye-level and centered horizontally) in the middle of the couch where colors are brilliant, vibrant, and accurate. I was really disappointed that even slightly off axis viewing led to significantly washed out colors. I couldn't even sit on the side of my small couch without noticing the degraded image. By comparison, the LNS3251D and last year's A750 are far better. Again, I have no idea why the B750 is so poor.
I think it's important for these issues to be brought to light. Not everyone will be bothered by all of these issues. It's even been suggested that I got a lemon (I sent this TV back to Amazon). But I'm overall disturbed by the trend of unnecessary image processing in modern LCD TVs. I ended up buying a Panasonic TCP54V10 to replace this TV and I couldn't be happier. I never have to turn on any Game Mode, I can sit on the floor and the picture doesn't change, and motion looks natural and smooth. I really wanted to love the B750. It packs a lot of features. But in the end, it didn't deliver on the most important one, being a solid television display.

This TV is fantastic. I see some non-conformity in lighting on some all-black-frame situations but it doesn't bother me at all and I ONLY see it on 100% black situations.
I was used to 120 Hz Samsung TVs before I got this so it was not a giant thrill for me to see the 240 Hz... but... it turns out all of my family and friends had never seen 120 Hz so they were BLOWN away. I got the dumbest questions about why it looked so other-worldly-amazing it was really funny.
"Is this disc something above Blu Ray?"
"Is your receiver doing something to make it look this good?"
"This movie must have been filmed some new way I've never seen because it looks so good!! Was it?"
Haha I loved it.
Impossible to be disappointed with this TV's picture, physical profile, menu, remote control, connectivity to the internet... and on and on.
