I will post pics of my setup which includes X360 hd addon, PS3 60gb, DTV HR20700, xbox modded,phillips upconvert hdd divx dvd player and GE, mediacom cable box, GE 3 disc dvd changer. I have PS3 using hdmi, X360 using component and DTV HR20700 using hdmi. All are connected to Onkyo TX-SR804s reciver and hdmi and component cables going to TV. Im still messing with calibration color. TV is beautiful. Hopefully someone will tell me why it still shows resolution and source 60hz, i though it would show 120hz, it does show 60hz for my ps3 as well, i thought at least the ps3 would show as 120hz..so if someone could explain or help with this. Still got a lot to learn about this tv. I have znutts calibration settings currently for viewing all, not sure if it is optimal for gaming.

There is still fan noise from the 750 although not as bad as the XBR.

I have no smearing and my 750 handles motion much better than the Sony.

Its hard to tell at best buy because of all the lighting, so could somone just post a picture showing what this looks like, i'd like to be able to have a general idea what i would be dealing with. Thanks in advance!

Issues:
1) halo effect while watching Hellboy (BR). Not once during 'No country for old men' though.
2) clouding when the screen is black (during HDMI handshaking). I loosened all the screws on the back and that pretty much fixed it ... until it falls apart of course.
3) I think I also have 'flashlights' in the corners but I really have to look for them. It's so minor I don't even care.

I still have 10 days to return/exchange it so I'll keep an eye out for any other imperfections.

Side note, I can't believe I'm already use to the 10" gain over my old 42" westy! I might have to go the projector route next time to get the immersion effect.

When it comes to videogames, rather than using game mode, which allows for no adjustments, can you use some other mode and simply turn off the extra processing, and get acceptable results (in terms of lag, smearing etc.)?

Gaming is the only thing I need to tweak with this set. BR movies look fantastic.

Clouding isn't a big deal if you don't mind loosing the screws in the back a little.

The halo thing of course can only be 'fixed' by putting black tape around the edges and that's a little ghetto after spending 3k.

The fact is, the only 750 owner who has noticed stutter so far is Lestat Phoenix. Until more people state that this is an issue it should be regarded as a defect to his set.

We should keep an eye on this though.

Despite sharing manufacturing plants for many panels in a joint venture, recent Sony LCDs have seen far higher instances of clouding / mura than Samsung TV's.

I can testify to this having had 5 different TV's across two ranges whilst Samsung attempt to rectify the Hum Bars fault here in the UK. (I posted about this on the first page of the thread hoping A750 owners would look for the fault - no reply as yet).

Anyway out of those 5 only one had intrusive clouding. It's not been a widespread problem with previous Samsung models so we need to monitor this with the A750.

Cheers.
