Pros

  • Fantastic out of the box performance
  • Top of the line deinterlacing and scaling
  • Lots of calibration options (not that you'll need them)
  • Great styling
  • Tons of extras for you to experiment with

Cons

  • Pricey
  • Stylized edge sometimes reflects image
  • Slow response to remote commands

Introduction

Rarely do I come across a display that performs as well as the Samsung LN52A750. At the $3500 asking price, it should perform well. But even a cursory search of the Internet will show you that this unit can be had for a significant discount (as low as $2700 as of the time of publication). The styling cues are dead on - that "Touch of Color" is just enough to make it stand out without being gaudy. The panel is thin enough to be ahead of the curve. But the picture… out of the box I was very impressed. Feature-rich, performance trendsetting, the LN52A750 is an LCD you could spend the rest of your life with.

Even after looking over the original ln52a750 article Tom Andry wrote, it still seems like there are more settings for the picture and detailed settings. Can anybody do a list of what those are? Or does anyone have the exact calibration levels?


That would be up to your room and your display

What exactly is the "purple haze" issue? This is the first I have heard about that one.

Who the heck comes up with these names? LMAO


Purple Haze... it's something I kinda came up with on the fly.
It remined me of the TN panels; when the whole screen was black, you move your viewing position off center axis and the screen looked purple instead of black.

I think that either panel would have been a great choice; but the 750 is so close in price to the 650, I don't know why many would choose the 650.

That's just me though.

Yes, Thanks Carl.

We actually read the whole thread prior to making the decision.
