OK i know everyone keeps saying the 750 and the 650 are the same as far as PQ goes, but i have to disagree. I honest to god feel like the 750 has a better picture. I work at best buy in the HT department and i have messed with these two TV's for many hours since we got them in awhile back. If you set them to the same exact settings i still think the 750 looks better, and all my HT associates agree. What gives? Has it actually been confirmed they are the same? Because everyone seems to be disagreeing. The black levels on the A750 just seem soooo much better, it has way more pop to it as well. I dunno though, i must be crazy.....

Hi Everyone. I just got my LN46A750 home from BB tonight. Stellar deal too. They actually beat Amazons CRAZY price that appeared online this morning. IT also made the 4 year protection plan even less expensive. I-M me if you want to know what I paid.
ANYWAY, My question is this. HDMI cables. I have regular ones that were not very expensive that I bought from one of the links on top of this page. With my using the PS3 for Blu-Ray and I just upgraded to the Yamaha RX-v663 receiver. Which HDMI cables should I be using to the best quality available for my newly upgraded system?
Thanks. I just do not know much about HDMI cables yet..

Awesome TV by the way. I have a sammy 50" 1080i plasma also (now in bedroom). I now know that the plasma does look better for Hi-Def Cable shows but, The 1080p Blu-Ray movies on the sammy lcd I brought home tonight are simply stunning. So realistic it is nuts. I would say Plasma and LCD are = at this point with the new 650's and 750's but, each have their own strenghts. Motion is still better on plasmas. Do you agree? I am happy with my purchase.

If you need HDMI cables. check out monoprice or blue jeans cable (forum sponsors). They have some quality cables for great prices.

1.3a is a limitation of the spec of an output or input, NOT the cable itself

Guys, for those of you with experience with LCD TVs, what is the burn risk, both for gaming static images and for sidebars?

As far as I've read, they both have the same processor, don't remember exactly if it was 10 or 12 bit, but I think it was 10-bit. The differences were miss-prints in the manuals. They're both the same.

As far as seeing a differences in picture quality, you never know how the source is coming thru to the tv, perhaps that has something to do with the difference. But either way, who knows maybe they are different after all, the total facts I don't think have been talked about.

I'm on my 2nd LN52750 and it is perfect. The 1st I returned due to 1 bad pixel and to get a better finance program-3yrs no interest-with Circuit City. I previously had 2 LN52550s which I also returned for bad pixels but also because Sammy slashed their prices so I decided to upgrade.

You already have HDMI cables, so providing they are delivering a stable picture then you have no need for more expensive cables.

HDMI are not like analogue cables which were prone to interference and therefore the more expensive, generally, the better.

The only time you might want a slightly more expensive cable (and I mean only slightly) is when you are running over distances longer then 6ft or so.

For all installations below that distance any cable will do. None of the cables in my installation cost over $30 and one of them is 15ft.

Own a 4671 and have TBE issues with AMP even on low at times. Thinking about trying to get the 750. Just wondering if anyone has tested 750 for TBE or artifacts with AMP on low-high with any of the scenes in Planet Earth BD that are known to show TBE on the 71 series.

Scenes such as:
Disc 1:
Episode 1, Around 40 minute mark. - Impala chase scene. (Dogs heads while in chase exhibit TBE?)
Episode 2, Around 47 minute mark. -Eagles chase crane. (Crane exhibits TBE?)

Any feedback about TBE or AMP artifacts encountered on the 750 would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

From my personal experience, its still there but has been improved. I get TBE and vapor on FPS on medium, but the tv is so good in so many other regards that it's hard to pass up.

You can try this but use at your own risk,

I went from a 36" JVC SD tv to this and a large part of me would like the 3 grand back in my wallet.

Serious?
There is absolutely no fan noise from my set, as far as I know the fan only kicks in if the set gets really hot.
SD also is incredible. The Samsung scales better than my own PS3 & dedicated DVD players!
Settings as well, you can tweak like 6 different individual colors, what more could you ask for.

Price is also pretty cheap if you buy at the right places. About less than 2 years ago, a Sharp 37" LCD cost around $2700, a 52" Samsung now can go for less.

How do you perform a good test that is going to find a single dead pixel on an lcd. Do you simply get close and look for them?

The 750 should be the same as the 650.

I think the 650 and 750 are both 10-bit panels. However, when you look at the block diagrams for each you'll notice the 750 has a 16-bit post processor while the 650 has a 12-bit. Are you saying that it was these block diagrams that were misprinted and that the processors are 10-bit? Or just that the panels are?

Thanks... I don't plan to leave static images on the set. My concern is a lot of watching of 4:3 content. None of us here care for stretched images so I am trying to find out what the risk of not stretching is. My daughter did a lot of 4:3 watching on our plasma and now it has sidebars.

you wont have to worry about that on an LCD, you will not suffer from IR. The only LCD's i have ever seen with IR were cheap computer monitors displaying 24/7. So no worries man.

In all my comparisons they've been the same and according to several different Samsung reps they are exactly the same as far PQ.

im not quite sure what im doing wrong, but some games that i run with my xbox360 and monster component cable@1080p are giving me a lot of distortion on my ln52a750 and at times it is saying mode not supported when running at 1080p .At any lower resolution it works fine. if someone could offer some help here it would be great. Some games work fine like lego starw wars complete saga and others like stated above give a lot of distortion on screen. i also have the same problem with my ps3 on the main menu...using hdmi. this is only in games not regular tv watching.

Can someone clear this up for me:

I know you can play Divx/Xvid videos using DNLA/Ethernet with the 750's but can you play Divx/Xvids directly off a USB thumbdrive as well? (can someone confirm playing video using a USB thumb drive if so please)

Can anyone comment on the motion blur of the 750 vs the 71? I have a perfectly fine 71 (except for TBE) but the motion blur is a little annoying and I can probably exchange it for a 750. From what I saw at Fry's the motion blur and vapors seemed very similar on the 750 as the 71. Also, am I understanding correctly that you cannot adjust the settings in the entertainment modes? So if I chose movie, I cannot adjust colors, amp levels, etc.

Thanks
