    Duration of ownership: 90 Days

    Strengths: Picture quality is fantastic, easy to use, good connectivity, Ethernet connectivity

    Weaknesses:Motion flow

    Overall Evaluation: I've been watching TVs, and LCDs in particular for years. Finally decided to buy after I found this baby at $1,795, with a bluray player thrown in too entice the sale. I was very impressed with the 52A750 last year and almost went for it, but the price was around the $2,100 range and I couldn't talk myself into a TV for over $2K - and then have to shell out more money for a warranty. I picked this up and wow... the color and picture quality is fantastic. Included the Sammy Bluray player and the two work very well together. When I first turned on the TV, the factory sets the motion control to maximum - trying to give the smoothest motion flow possible. The problem is that with Fast Motion, the processor just can't keep up and the picture looks very jerky with a high "pixelization" (screen door) effect evident. I figured the 240Hz would minimize problems with fast motion, which is why I stepped up from the B650 to the B750. I called the place I purchased it from and asked about the best settings because if this was it... it was going back the same day. They had me turn down the motion control to minimum and then step up from 0 a notch or two. That did it. Football, basketball and Nascar look great. No noticeable artifacts from movies in bluray or dvd.After getting the settings correct, the picture is fantastic, sound from the tv speakers is pretty good and plenty loud enough. I have the TV connected to a Comcast Cable TV HD box - HD looks great, and normal broadcast is acceptable to watch. My son's Xbox is connected; games look fantastic.Ethernet connection allows me to update firmware automatically; so far two updates. They also have "widgets" such as weather, stock reports, etc that are fed off the internet connection. Scrolling through menu to get to these is too clumsy and takes too many actions with the remote control to be useful. Given software can be updated, perhaps improvement with future releases in this area but I'm not counting on it.Given investment and horror stories I've heard about reliability, I purchased an extended warranty. So far it's money down the drain as the reliability has been solid. All in all, I give it 5 Stars and would make the purchase again.

    Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

    Strengths: Life like pictuers , This beat my LG Plasma and I liked it alot.

    Weaknesses:NONE ,that I can see !, and I see VERY GOOD !

    Overall Evaluation: I chose this TV over many good brands. I even chose this over the NEW LED SAMSUNG. I read alot of reviews and check all the spec's out on all the 52" lcd and led and then I went to Best Buy to look at one, They only had the 47" on display and the picture sold me. Best Buy had the 52" in the back of the store and not on display. I had to ask if they had one in stock, I know now why it wasn't out there,this had a p[cture that the others couldn't compete with.I got it for alot less than others are selling it for and made my day :))

    Duration of ownership: 30 Days

    Strengths: 150K CR, 240Hz, Internet Content Manager and Widgets

    Weaknesses:None so far

    Overall Evaluation: Chose this TV over Sony Z Series and Toshiba 55ZV. Purchased from Epic-HD, Owner personally delivered it to me and assisted with setup. I guess they don't have a store front so the price was great. I suppose they ship to other parts of the country if interested. I figure they helped me out tremendously by assisting me with choosing the right TV for me so the least I could do is pass their name on to others. Mike did a great job emailing me my options and prices and making me feel comfortable with the purchase. If anyone gets this TV, go out and buy Transformers and The Fifth Element on Blu Ray and try not let your jaw drop all the way to the floor. I couldn't justify the UN55B8000 because honestly this Set is very close to the quality and picture. A True hidden gem of a TV. Epic-HD is great also, they should receive an Impeccable Service award.

    Strengths: Crystal clear picture, no blurring, deep blacks, connectivity

    Weaknesses:None I've discovered yet

    Overall Evaluation: I chose this TV over the LN52A750 and the LN52A650 primarily because I didn't like the red Touch of Color on those models and for the better connectivity (DLNA) of this model. In my opinion it's a bit of a misnomer to call the charcoal gray on this model a "Touch of Color" because it really just blends with the black of the rest of the frame. I'm very happy so far - the picture is crystal clear and I don't see any "halo effect" as some people complained about with respect to the LN52A750. I was a first time buyer from 6th Ave, and I'd add that I would definitely buy from them again. The transaction went very smoothly, and the TV arrived much sooner than I expected it would.
