I had the pleasure of having umr/Jeff Meier/AccuCal calibrate my 46a750 last night. The results are simply jaw dropping. The colors are richer, fleshtones look correct, and I did not expect the level of increase that was achieved in both the black levels and the detail. Even standard DVD looks better than it did.

Jeff is very professional, highly knowledgeable, and also fun to hang out with. He also made significant improvements on my audio system. I highly recommend his services.

I'm posting the pre and post plots from the calibration.

Being a newbie...how do you read this thing and is it as easy as taking your info and trying it out on my set? (If I knew what the heck all the things stood for and where to find them on the menu of options.)

I didn't post any settings, only measurements results before/after. I'm doing this to show everyone how well this set performs when calibrated by a skilled person, in this case Jeff. These sets have a great degree of variance, and using other peoples' settings is a futile endeavor.

What I can say is that if you are looking for a professional calibration, IMO Jeff is the person to seek out. He is incredibly knowlegeable and experienced and he has the right equipment for the job.

I ordered the 750 the evening of the 17th from Amazon & took delivery of it today. Unfortunately I won't be enjoying it until this weekend, we close on the new house on Friday, so I'll unbox it & get it set up there. This few days of waiting is going to kill me!!!

I don't have one myself (yet.) An earlier post on this thread indicated it was 110V only, whereas the A650 was 110V-220V. Perhaps someone who could look at the back of their set could verify?

Nothing to complain about

Heck, Samsung is even going to replace my bezel no questions asked.. so as long as the tech doesn't mess anything up, I should have a perfect TV this Friday.

Thanks for your calibration report. I've included it in the flat panel list that is linked at the bottom of my post.

I'm not able to read all the relevant threads. If anyone knows about professional calibration reports that I've missed, please PM me link or thread name and post number.

Well, my wife has been seeing the dreaded GREEN BLOCK while I have been gone. I knew this was too good to be true. What happens is part of your screen will just go green while watching and block out that part of the screen. It comes, lasts maybe 30-60 seconds, then goes away. Does anyone remember what had to be done in the 71 thread to fix this? If I recall, it may have been a panel replacement.

i needed a large tv (parent has macular degeneration, here for 9 months, and needed it fast!) and got the samsung dlp HL61A750 based on most bang for the buck and good reviews. well, it's huge and i hate it. i need large, but want to at least get it up on a wall out of the way.

so - i'm returning it and amazon shipped a LN52A750 today. i've read conflicting feedback about the glare (almost got an xbr4 just because i really prefer matte to glossy anything) but got it anyway because of the pq reviews and you guys raving. i'm sure glare depends on application - mine will be in a bright, well-lit room, and i'm hoping against hope it doesn't reflect everything in the world. once hung, can this be mitigated by tilting, swiveling...? the way some have talked about glare it sounds almost like i'll be hanging a mirror...

also, i have nothing red in the room, and again am hoping the hue is dark enough to make it a non-issue. deep burgundy i could live with, red - not so much.

in spite of all that - i'm excited! the reviews are infectious and am looking forward to the picture. everything goes through a HD tivo and the SD is manageable on the dlp. when people talk about the SD being awful, can i expect it to be worse than dlp - or about equivalent?

lastly - i looked around the forum for the right place to ask about mounting hardware but couldn't find that would be. if anyone has a suggestion, i'd welcome it. i would like as low a profile as possible, but tilt and swivel are even more important - a combination of the two would be great.

thanks for any input. i've learned so much here (in a very short amount of time and carpel tunnel from paging through all the info!)

What source was she watching? I haven't heard this reported in either this thread or the 650 thread.

I know, but it has happened a few times in the 71 thread. She saw it on a Directv source and on a recorded source. She went back to look at the recording and the green was gone, so obviously it is not the source. I have also checked several threads and other people are not having the same problems I am having with TNT, TBS, USA, FX and Spike. So, looks like that is probably a tv issue as well. Damn, I was really happy with this set and I really don't want some numbnuts taking it apart.

No, that's just compression artifacts from a not so great cable or satellite feed. It doesn't have anything to do with the TV. Maybe you can redude it by turning on noise reduction, or turning off edge enhancement.

One question though...what items in the service menus can be tweaked to enhance performance and prolong the life of this beautiful beast.

Thanks!

The first page in the 650 owners thread shows you step-by-step how to do tweak the AMP settings in the service menu

What are your opinion's on 4th of july sales on the 750. Why i'm asking is because I know i'am going to buy the 52-750. I would buy off big river now but would rather buy from local best buy,circuitcity,fry's,ect... rather than ordering online, but seem's pricing is alot higher at these stores. In your opinion do you think I should just order online now or do you think it will be worth it to wait for any 4th sales.

That really sucks. I haven't seen anything like that. . . yet (crossing fingers and praying).

When did it start?

Could it potentially be the receiver? I think you said you had everything connected to a receiver and then one HDMI to the TV (or is that just for sound?).

Sorry to hear and let us know what else you find out.

There is no better way than buying from Amazon. Buy now and price adjust if price falls on July 4th. No matter what deal CC and BB put for July 4th, they can never beat Amazon prices

So you just left the speaker on front of the TV and going to raise the TV a bit to clear the speaker?

Makes sense, though I'm not sure I can get the wife to agree to cover the stand she picked out.

No, not the receiver, it just passes the signal. This green issue has happened a few times in the 71 thread. I think I will just have her and myself watch it for a while and see if it continues/gets worse, then make a decision on whether or not to call Samsung. I really do not want a new panel,,,,,I would rather have a replacement. Whenever someone gets a new panel, it always seems to produce a worse picture than before.

Amazon is a possible choice for me ,been checking site daily and thinking more and more about going this route, just have never made this big of a purchase online before, makes me a little nervous. So you don't think prices will fall to the amazon prices from the big box retailer's over the holiday?

Hi, moonscape:

My mother has advanced Macular Degeneration that has been helped quite a bit by Lucentis shots, but still has limited visual field/acuity and sees things through a grey veil. The LN52A750 we have replaced an old Sony KP-61HS30 and it meets all her vision needs. The ability to increase the Backlight, combined with Dynamic Contrast, color and flesh tone adjustments have provided her the ability to see more than before.

She has taken a few weeks to get used to the "smaller" baseball players ... ... but has adjusted to it and it happy with the set.

We have found that screen "glare" is not an issue. The set is in a room that is well lit in the day and at night the one lamp that would cause an issue has never drawn a comment from either parent except early on when they both commented that they no longer had to deal with its refection.

The TOC is really not visible except close up and the "red" is not overpowering, IMO.

Others can recommend wall mounting options, as we bought a stand with a floater that swivels.

Hope this helps.

OldAKGuy

BTW, I should mention that we looked at the XBR4, that set was not able to provide the PQ that the 750 provided. Mom actually was walking over to view an XBR4 when saw a 750 and stopped in her tracks.

I assume you know that BestBuy & Circuit City has price guarantee too? So if you buy it now and it goes down next weekend, just show up with your receive and you should get the difference back.
