Just wanted to share a quick review/observations of the LN55C750...
Screen/Panel: glossy and reflective like its B750 predecessor. According to the SN label, this unit uses the "SQ01" panel. The box says the screen is "ultra clear" if that matters to anyone. The tv is currently set up in the attic with a lot of sun light, and reflections are very noticeable. With the drapes closed, daytime viewing is fine. The colours are quite vibrant and had the same type of "pop" as the B850 plasma and C8000 (they were side-by-side) in the store. However, the C750's whites were much whiter than the B850...but I guess that's inherent in LCDs.
Blacks: Caveat: I haven't had a chance to calibrate it, but out of the box, the brightness and backlight are set quite high. Turning these both down slightly allows the image to blend with the borders nicely. Haven't noticed bright spots in the corners, or any flashlighting and clouding while watching a few scenes from Planet Earth. Part of the reason I went with the C750 was that it didn't have the bright corners as the C7000/C8000 (and the fact that it was quite a bit cheaper as well).
Lag: I tried playing Modern Warefare 2 on my xbox (both on and offline) and noticed lag in normal mode. No noticeable lag with "game" mode on.
Remote: nothing special here...
Aesthetics: Clean look, with a 1.5" black frame and a clear plastic border. Not as striking as the C8000, however. The chrome stand is growing on me, but would have preferred the regular stand from 2009.
3D: no content or hardware to test. Based on the demo of Monsters v Aliens, i' think i'll hold off on adopting this tech.
Overall: the 55" is massive...I think it's way to big for my tiny attic of a room. The image is crisp, colours are vibrant and I like that fact that it's not edge lit. I like the fact that I do not have to use dongles to plug in component cables...and the fact that the power cord is NOT attached to the unit.
Also, can anyone that has the TV hook us up with a good close up of the frame/bezel from the front? I zoomed in as far as you can on the Amazon product page, but still don't get a good view. I kind of want to know what the edge looks like all around the set.
I also have a G10 unfortunately. After the lost of contrast, I find that my friend's XBR9 has darker blacks than my G10. So the C750 should be a bit darker too.

It's clear plastic....about 1cm border that goes around the entire set. The bezel looks nice and clean, but I still prefer the LG 9500 borderless bezel

Trying to decide if I should go with the Sammy Un55C8000, the LG 9500, or this 750. If I went with the 750 I could probably convince the wife to let me get the sound setup I want as well. If I get the others, at their price, I'm probably going to be stuck with the stock sound for a while
I'm looking to buy an LCD. There isn't a single LED edge-lit model that's up to my standards. I have an interest in getting a 3D capable display if possible. So this LN55C750 has piqued my interest.
Now, I'm no fan of glossy screen surfaces, so the LN55C750 has that going against it. But I'd like to know what other minuses it has. I saw one buyer said he was returning it and was disappointed, so I'm really interested to know what was wrong.
alright so after spending 5-6 hours or so with the tv here's my early impressions
Pros
- 3d on the cheap
- not LED so viewing angles are superb
- great automotion implementation(dejudder and blur reduction are seperately configurable and allow you to get a great image without the handycam look)
- 2d to 3d conversion is super good!
- lots of connections
- the tv will pause a blu-ray movie if you're watching and go in to the apps(this is probably just if oyu have a samsung player though)
Cons
- I've got some flashlighting(I believe that's what it's called) but it's only noticeable on an all black screen
- hard to get an accurate picture(though I assume this will be fixed when more people that know what they are doing here get their hands on it and post calibration settings)
- input lag..... almost impossible to play Gears 2 because it feels like there's a 1/3 of a second delay between when I move the stick to when it happens on screen
in the middle
- black levels.... they aren't as bad as I was expecting for an LCD but they aren't close to a plasma
- 3d... makes me feel sick when watching it but I know I'm in the minority
Avatar looks good on almost any TV. Do you possibly have a movie with letterbox bars that you could take more pics of? I'm curious as to how well the blacks blend in with the bezel. What plasma did you own that has better contrast?
I used some settings from one of the B750 threads and I think they look great on the C750. I'm using this for HDTV, & PS3. Looks like theres a few new settings other than these on this model but I'm not sure how to adjust them. (thanks Steve)
those are some really nice looking photos i would also like to know if you are 100% happy with your purchase or do you plan on getting something else? once again nice pictures.
I don't see any banding but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I've gone threw many calibrations screens and disks and I don't see any issues. Black is pitch black, the black can't be any blacker. I don't see any issue at all. Before changing my settings to my previous post above my hdtv picture had some kind of shimmering effect going on but with my new settings everything is crystal clear.
In regards to the previous post about the shaking when changing channels I don't see that, maybe is the cable connection. I'm only using an OTA antena, not cable

I'm gonna wait until my HDMI 1.4 cable arrives and I can test real 3d before I make a real decision on if I keep or buy. I'm definitely considering returning it though as the picture quality just isn't up to snuff with the Panasonic G10 that I replaced with it.

Thats weird. I own a 54G10 that was great at first. Now it sucks because the blacks glow gray on moderate to dark scenes. My friend has an XBR9 which I view regularly that has deeper black than my plasma after all of the Panasonic voltage increases. Considering that the B750 had the same panel as the XBR9, and the C750 is its predecessor, I find it hard to believe that a C750 has lower PQ than a G10 after voltage overdrive. So can you please explain in a little more detail what was better about the G10 you had?

even after the black rise the my g10 still didn't have black levels quite as bad as this tv...... they were probably about even.
the g10 though had much better color and....I don't know how to describe it... like depth to the picture.
Tht said those are minor issues tha I can live with with this tv
the big reason I'm considering returning it is... #1 I get motion sick when watching 3d for too long
#2 input lag. There's like a 1/3 of a second delay. I don't know if there's a mode that will lessen this but it makes playing shooters impossible
Edit: nevermind I found how to enable game mode on the tv
this drastically improved the input lag
