Samsung LN52A750R

First let me say, Amazon’s white glove service is wonderful! I’ve never had such smooth events (2 now) from a delivery vendor. Both times ahead of schedule and everyone I’ve spoken with was polite and courteous.

Now on to the LN52A750R1F… WOW!!!! And I cannot put enough exclamation points to say how impressed I am with this product. I did a lot of research before settling on this unit. Each time I looked at a model, I found myself reaching a little higher. Originally this was to be the 3rd and least used LCD units for our household. We were finally replacing the last of 3 old televisions. First I tested the waters with an impulse buy walking into a local retailer having, at that time, my favorite brand on sale, it was a Sony Bravia XBR KDL-32XBR4, only 32 and for the bedroom, what harm could it do, right? This unit took me hours to set-up and the lack of a crisp picture was disappointing. So when I was ready for the second replacement I did more homework. I shopped, reviewed, inspected, but mostly I watched, the pictures of my favorites. Still not knowing any better, I had Sony, Sharp and Samsung on the short list. This time shopping for a bit larger unit, 40 or there about. Well, Sony wasn’t budging on prices, I discounted Sharp Aquos because the picture is again, no pun intended, not SHARP, but very muted. This is for the room we live in, our home office suite. This purchase has to be just right!

Fortunately my local BB had the two finalists, Sony Bravia XBR KDL-40XBR5 & Samsung LNT4071F, on end caps within close proximity to each other. Both were great pictures, but only one was a great buy and with all things being equal and the difference of $1k was part of the deal, Samsung won hands down. Got it delivered home by Amazon white glove, and within minutes it was up and running, and I’ve had no regrets.

Now enough with the history, I’m now a Samsung fan, and shopping for this LCD purchase, wasn’t as critical as the last. There was only one brand to think about, but now there are so many models. This was to be a replacement for a unit we watch an hour a day, so 1st I started looking at the DLPs. Great price, but will be obsolete before long, next no need for another 1080p so why not a 720p Plasma? Great price, but maybe I can do better, what if in a couple of years we want to get that Blu-Ray, guess we should look at the 1080p’s. So the 550s are at a good price point, but what’s all this hype about the 6 series and now the 7 series? More research and pounding the pavement to get a glimpse of one. Finally found one at my local Fry’s, just unpacking it. I WAS SOLD! I have to have this 6 or 7 series, the look is amazing, and we have lot’s of Chinese and Asian “stuff” in this room, the red would POP! Then the price dropped on the 7 series to within a $100 dollars of the 6, I placed my order! Shipped on Tuesday, was told it would be here on the following Thursday (10 days later), got a phone call on this Thursday (2 days later), “can we deliver today?” The rooms all ready, sure, bring it on! Plug it in, and nothing, I had to do NOTHING, it was the most perfect picture… OUT OF THE BOX! That I’ve ever seen. BETTER than my local retailers, better than I could imagine. This one has all the bells and whistles, I’ve already ordered from Samsung the wireless dingle. I’ve got the HD Tivo with the HD cable cards… this unit is amazing. So much so, we’ve ordered new furniture for this room, so more hours of comfortable viewing can be had.

This will now be our escape and made possible by Amazon, their white glove service and SAMSUNG! My new favorite vendor for consumer electronics, sorry, but goodbye Sony!
