I had this Panasonic Vierra 58 inch plasma previuosly and I was kind of ok with it. But then amazon had to send me this coupon code and that brought down this giant SAMSUNG - LN52B750 to US$ 1800.00 only!! I bought it with my eyes closed thinking that if the TV is not that good I'll return it. But it turn out to be one of the most impressive decisions I have ever made. We love it!!! I liked the picture quality and other features. If you in the market for a TV go for it. I think before you go for the newest LED TVs please try this and then see. The LED are very expensive and new technology ...not matured enough i think. The LCD 240HZ are on the top. I'm loving it!!Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

I've been researching flatscreens for 3 years now (as I bided by time waiting for permission from my wife to finally get one), and in the end, after reading all of its stellar reviews and actually going to see it for myself in the showroom, released my pent up buying desires on purchasing this superb tv. Unbelievably sharp picture and Samsung's colors are fantastic right out of the box.
At first, things were a bit too sharp, though, and I was feeling somewhat unable to enjoy shows and movies because the HD was allowing me to see the layers of stage makeup caked on actors' and actresses' faces (which kind of takes you out of the scene)and the movement was too sharp (if that makes) sense. This was easily remedied by turning off the edge enhancement feature, reducing the judder to 3, and doing the other tweaks suggested by the top review listed here.
My wife was skeptical about the value of this but now is completely sold and loves our TV. I've yet to watch any Blu Ray on this (and see the 240hz in action) but so far it's great.
The Yahoo Widgets are kind of "meh." right now, but the YouTube widget is nice and very easy to use. If Netflix Instant Streaming were built in, this thing would be off the hook, but that's okay; I've got a TiVo HD hooked up to it and that allows me to stream and download HD shows from Amazon and Netflix. Also, in order to partially justify spending all this dough, I've dropped cable and am going purely with an HD antenna. (After testing out a bunch of models from cheap to expensive, I ultimately settled on the RCA flat amplified antenna with a powered amplifier.) I'm smack dab in the middle of NY, so I'm more than satisfied with the channels I get, and let me tell you, the picture from our local over-the-antenna broadcasts is amazing on this set. When we watch the news, it's a bit unsettling because it looks almost like the the newscasters are sitting across a table from us. And frankly, I'm glad not to have to deal with those bozos from the cable company anymore for anything but my internet bill.
Some of the reviewers knock this TV for it's sound, but it's not bad...and really, when you're getting a TV in this class, why would you even consider doing anything less than a full home theater surround sound system?
You'll probably rarely use it, but this unit has some nifty little software extras that are nice to turn on when you want to relax (there are nature and meditation programs you can turn that give you a pretty image (a la "Sunrise Earth") with some soothing music).
The overall design is excellent. We love the clear stand and the rounded glass edges.
My only small complaint is that the glass screen is highly reflective. A BB salesperson told me that the glass screen is how Samsung manages to achieve the incredibly deep blacks on this TV, so I'm okay with it (and it's easy to just turn off the lights and close the shades...and wear dark clothing).
Anyway, no regrets here at all. I am _very_ happy with this TV.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

When I originally ordered from Amazon, I bought the LN52A850. The A850 had MAJOR clouding issues on the screen, and after months of service requests and back and forth with Samsung Technicians, I finally was able to get Samsung to exchange my A85 for the LN52B750.
I will say that the B750 is an absolute huge improvement from the A850! The picture is stunning and I am actually pretty impressed with the audio when compared to the A850. And most importantly, I have virtually NO clouding during dark scenes! There is 1 very, very slight cloud that is visible when the screen is completely black and you are in a completely dark room, but even then you have to specifically look for it.
With my A850, I was completely frustrated and distracted when watching it, but the B750 has been all that I expected and more. I'm extremely happy with it. And as a side note, I had a family member over the other day, and she owns a Sony Bravia (50"+ I believe), and when I turned on my Samsung, she stared at it and said "Wow.. what a great picture!" as if she was in awe.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

Avoid Samsung!. I have to admit it was a good television until it broke (two big red lines up and down the screen). I have spent two months attempting to get the television repaired. One attempt was made to fix the television by samsungs technitions under warranty which has made the problem worse. I am still waiting two months later for them to come back out and actually repair the TV.

The picture is great. Previous reviewers are right.
Some people had a problem with screen reflection. My experience is that there
is a lot of reflection when the tv is off but none when the tv is on. So it's not an issue for me.
I found the sound to be more than adequate for tv listening. The only thing I have attached to the tv is a TIVO but no home entertainment system.
Aside from a mixup in delivery date, CEVA delivery was fine. Tv was delivered within the scheduled time slot, unpacked, stand attached, put into place, turned on,
and packaging removed.
One surprise was the owners manual was printed. Not on a flash drive as some have said.
All in all a satisfactory purchase experience.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

I purchased this TV primarily based on cnet's review. The input of Amazon reviewers was very helpful as well. The picture is very good. There are many adjustments available to get the picture the way you like it. I would recommend cnet's calibration settings as a starting point. AVSforum also has some setting options.
The viewing angle is not great. The picture remains good, just not as good.
The sound on this TV has been discussed many times. The speakers on this TV are fine. Their primary purpose is to provide clear dialogue. This TV does that. I was so concerned about the sound on this TV before buying it that I was going to buy a sound bar with it. After listening to it turned up at a local store, I was satisfied and remain so. I did make some adjustments in the sound menu which also helped.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

I bought this TV a week ago and the TV came with a small crack on the frame. Called amazon regarding this and they were very promt to offer a replacement. Got the replacement few hours ago. Amazon used Pilot for delivering the TV. The guy who delivered the TV was very rude to me he even was talking trash to me. First he told me to pack the TV which he will need to pick up from my place although I persoanlly talked to the delivery company regarding this and they told me that everything will be taken care by the delivery guys and I don't have to pack but the delivery guy was insisting me to pack it. Then I contacted the delivery company and they agreed to pack but the guy who was packing the TV was banging it without opening up the screw from the stand. Not sure why he has doing it. And all the time he was showing rude atitude to me not sure why. Even he started saying that I am stupid when I was checking the TV for damage and others although I just took 2 mins to do that and I wanted to make sure that there is no damage like before. Then I asked him why he is so rude and then he even said to me that he wanted to fight me. I was so terrified not sure what to do. I never had this kind of experience before and it was really shocking to me. Amazon is great but they should be careful to chose their delivery company. Next time I will never order anything through amazon which require delivery guys to drop it off.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

Well, I ordered Samsung ln52b750 from Amazon on August 6th, 2009. I got it delivered the next week. I set it up on Saturday, and wouldn't you know it, it would not power on. Boy, was I mad. A $2,000.00 tv that would not power on. I opened a support ticket with Samsung. I thought Amazon would exchange it for me. To my dismay, Amazon would not exchange the tv without a reference number from Samsung. I had to call Samsung customer support and get the reference number. I played the game and contacted Samsung, only to find out I would be contacted by Samsung ECRA department within the next two to three business days. Well, I waited until Wednesday (called on Sunday), and no call from the ECRA department. I initiated another call to Samsung to talk with someone directly in the ECRA department. After two calls, the first call was placed on hold for well over 20 minutes, I got to talk with someone at Samsung. I was told I would have to wait for a repair man to come to the house to determine what the problem is/was. To make a long story short, the repair man determined that the main circuit board in the tv was burnt out. He has no idea how and when it occurred. I now have a tv that is suppose to be new, but is really refurbished from Samsung/Amazon. Not overly thrilled about the picture on the tv, kind of fuzzy. From what I learned from this experience is don't buy major appliances online. I also would not have the luxury of contacting my mastercard company and complaining about a defective product. As it was bought online and not within my state. Buyer beware!Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

Bought out tv through Amazon. This is the second Samsung LCD we purchased through Amazon and the second experience was as good as the first. The price was better than most and the TV was at my door in four days. The delivery agent was great and even brought the Tv in the house and unpacked the Tv to check for any damage.
The Tv is what we expected. Great picture and features. We checked out the model locally before ordering. We also priced it locally and had to go with Amazon. Great all around purchase.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

A caution about this LCD before the praises.....
1. It is wide...you need a second pair of hands to help you get it out of the box and mount it, if you are like me who was eager to mount it all by myself, you will end up with acute low back pain..oooh.
2. This TV uses liquid crystals, so it is advisable to let it stand for 45 minutes before turning on the power,after all the shaking while getting it out of the box.
3. Do not dispose of the large box it came in,it will be hard to find a box this large just in case you got a faulty set and have to send it back.
4.Prices are coming down, shop around and buy from a retailer that will price match for you.
5.Samsung has an awful customer service buy from a retailer with a reliable warranty history.
Now to the review.......
Like most reviewers, I had spent months researching into LCDS and came out impressed with Sony V100, XBR6, XBR8(LED),Samsung B750 and B8000(LED).The Samsung B750 came out tops in all categories combininig the strengths from each one into one beautiful TV ....
I will not go into much technicalities as one of the reviewers here "EarlyMon" did a fantastic job and is more techsavvy.I will only say that I am more than happy with my purchase.
However, I shall add that the future of HDTV will be either LED or OLED.The technology on LED/OLED TV has not been perfected and will not be until 3 to 5 years down the road.So, why did I go for a CCRT LCD TV rather than for a LED TV?
Very simple.It is the best LCD in the market as of today Sept14th,2009 and might be for a long time to come.A point supported by both professional reviewers and users.
The Samsung B750 beats the LED Sony XBR8 (too pricey) and Samsung B8000 (uneven pixation). It compares very well with black scenes in both LED TVs, the white may not be as white as the LED TVs, but IT does not give the unnatural blue hue the LED TVs add to white color, perhaps that is why they seem to produce a whiter white.Just like the LED tv, the Samsung LN52B750 does not produce harsh pictures nor are the pictures scrabby.
The B750 has a practical wider viewing angle than both LED TVs mentioned above. It also has a better uniformity of colours.Do not get me wrong the LED TVs give very impressive pictures but since they are still in what I shall call beta stages, the prices on them are rather high for their current performances compared to what they are capable of doing.Just Like when Plasmas came out some years back, they were pricey, average cost was $4000.00 for the low end models.Inspite of their high prices then, yesterday's Plasmas in terms of performance are not as good as today's Plasmas which cost far less. They went through a period of fine tuning during which time their prices came down.Could you imagine buying a 46in Plasma for $900:00 in 2004.Yet today you could get one for that amount with little issue of burn in and better performance. A similar scenario will be played out with the LED TVs of today. So while waiting for LED technology to be perfected, it makes reasonable sense to buy an excellent TV at a "reasonable cost" to enjoy for the next 5 or so many years before the LED TVs get perfected or near "perfection".
To be honest, as much as Samsung tried to eliminate glare, this TV does have a minimum of glare compared to older Samsung LCDs but it is very minimal.If you have not noticed the glare on your laptop, desktop or your old CRT tv, then you will not be bothered by glare on this TV with the improved anti-glare technology.
If you are an enthusiast of Nature,fast action movies or sports, this is the TV for you. This TV shows leaves in a tree distinctively not just a bunch or cluster of green like most TVs do.You see clearly the individual droplets of water, as a wave breaks not just a splash of whitishblue.With fast movies or sports, no blurr or motion artifacts are seen.Colors are naturally vivid.No leaking of colors.
Do you need calibration? Yes, you do. Out of the box, the picture it gives is very impressive.Bear in mind that the manufacturers do not know anything about your living room light condition but they have a fairly good knowledge of what the light condition of a retailer's electronic dept is like.An since, the manufacturers do not know which of their TVs will be displayed by a particular retailer, they adjust the settings on all of their TVs coming out of the production line to meet the light conditions of a retailer which most time is a very bright light condition.They want their TV to look brighter,sharper and more crisp than their competitors'. This might mean less than an optimal picture quality for your room and more energy cost for you. Calibration has also been touted to prolong the life of the pixels.So if you can afford the 2 grand on this TV why can't you pick up a calibrating disc for $30.00 or less, to get an optimal performance, lower energy cost and prolong the life span of your TV?
If you decide to calibrate your TV,it is adviced to let your new TV break in, like a new car before making the adjustment.Some suggest as few as 24 hrs of regular TV watching others have suggested 1 month.I calibrated mine after 45 hrs of regular TV watching.The difference in picture quality after calibration is like NIGHT and DAY.
There are quite some good calibrating discs out there but the best for video is "High Deifinition Benchamrk by Spears & Munsil". This is very simple to use, the instructions are very elementary.I recommend the Blu-ray edition, if you have a Blu-ray player. For audiophiles, "AIX RECORDS" audio calibration disc is a winner. It has HD music sampler.For those with surround system, it will test the output and locate the positions of each of your speakers one by one for you.Both discs can be purchased online and for those who purchase the OPPO-BD 83 Blu-ray player,it is an added bonus.
However, for those who do not want to buy a calibration disc or pay for a professionl calibration service, here is an ABC of do it yourself calibration.
The primary features involved in calibration are, brightness,contrast,sharpness,color and hue.
Brightness:
This controls the depth of the blackness.Slot in a DVD movie into your DVD player and look for a night scene with someone wearing a black suit.Adjust the brightness control until you can make out clearly the edges of the suit lapel and the breast pocket of the black suit.
Contrast:
Controls the white. Look for a scene of someone wearing a white shirt.Adjust the contrast control until you can make out clearly the white buttons on the white shirt.
Sharpness:
Slot in a sports DVD e.g football,athletes meet, lawn tennis match etc.Look for a scene with line markings.Play with the adjust control from minimum to maximum and watch the line markings as you do so, the lines will have doubles or ghost images.Adjust the control slowly until the double or triple lines become one line or the ghost images of the line dissappears, leaving you with a single line.
Color:
Hopefully, you are not color blind.If you are,ask a friend to help you with this adjustment.This adjustment depends on what you appreciate of skin tone.Focus on the color of the skin of the actors, usually the face.Play with the control up and down and see how the skin color changes.Adjust the control more slowly until you get a match close to what the person's color would look like to you,were the person standing close to you.Hopefully, you are not in the habit of looking for aliens or martians.
Hue:
Also refers to color.Look for a color like red, blue or green and adjust the control to get the nearest match of that color in real life.
These tips are to help you make a decision between the best available HDTV to date.And if you are like me who was debating between a CCRT LCD OR LED LCD, I hope that I have provided sufficient reasons why I went for a CCRT LCD rather than a LED LCD for now. I might upgrade to a LED TV in five years from now.
Happy viewing on your new TV. You can not go wrong on Samsung LN52B750 !!!Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

I had been researching HDTVs for over 3 months before I finally pulled the trigger on this one. Great picture quality, great size, great features and great offer and price from Amazon.
The one feature that gets zero reviews and focus, but I feel will probably be the wave of the future is its Internet widget capability. The Youtube widget is the one of the biggest innovations in this TV, you will never have to wonder if there's anything good on TV again... I hope the Yahoo and independent developers keep up the good work and we see Hulu, Netflix (1080P), ESPN and Pandora widgets debut soon. Also, a texting friendly remote control would add real teeth to the Twitter widget. The BD live (S/W updates via internet) and DLNA features (havent tried yet) are a nice touch as well. I wont talk about the picture quality because it has been done to death (its good! and at 52 inches of screen area you cannot help but be impressed).
I got this one with the Free Shipping, Free Netbook (Asus eeePC) and $250 Price Coupon offer. The pre-adjustment price of $2199 was a little higher than what it has been recently, but I was tired of watching the price go up and down. All in all features and pricing makes me feel very satisfied with my purchase. Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

I ordered this from Amazon warehouse, almost $600 less for an opened box. After reading through every descriptions of all open box items, found an item that does not say "Minor cosmetic damage on housing", and I received a shinning new item or I'm unable to say the deference by looking at it. All stickers were there, all the papers were there and it looks and works excellent.
Before I order, I contact Amazon regarding warrantee and they said "Though warranty coverage for Warehouse Deals items will depend on the manufacturer, we cannot guarantee that a Warehouse Deals item will be covered by a manufacturer's warranty". I was little worried, I registered the TV in Samsung site, and the site said "No warrantee information available". I was worried again. But after a day, site displayed I have 12 months parts and labor warranty and Samsung have added extra 3 month for registering with them. So total 15 months. Good. Also I purchase 3 year extended warrantee from SquareTrade for around 120$ after discount. (Google for coupon codes) .
Delivery does not covered by Amazon prime. Service is good enough. The single delivery guy could not bring the box upstairs alone. But he unpacked it, plugged it and make sure it works.
The TV deserved 5 stars too - Planet Earth BluRay almost looks real, but kind of disappointed with sound. For a TV that cost $2000+, I expected bit more quality sound than my transistor radio. But it is big, beautiful and nice to sit front of.

Picked up this beauty with a coupon code posted within the Amazon product discussions. Made it an amazing deal.
Packed with features, excellent picture quality out of the box, and just a beautiful picture quality (not to mention the physical aesthetics).
On a side note, Pilot's white glove delivery exceeded my expectations. Ordered on Monday evening, estimated delivery was a week later, but it arrived early on Thursday. The scheduling was smooth, they called at the beginning of the window, and the delivery crew was here within 20 minutes.
I highly recommend this TV, as well as Amazon.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

The picture quality on this model is fantastic. The customer service from Amazon is 5 Star. However, I experience severe HDMI sync issues (video dropout) with the new Denon products such as AVR-4310 and the DBP-2010 which I purchased from Listen Up in Denver. I told them (Listen Up) I was keeping the TV and they could have the Denon gear back. The first weekend after the custom install from Listen Up, a new firmware update came out and trashed the newly installed receiver. I then had to take it to Denver and have it replaced right after spending thousands of dollars on the custom install. After almost three months of trying various solutions it still doesn't work. Be forewarned, don't buy new Denon with new Samsung HDTV's. You won't be pleased.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

I ordered this tv from amazon. Just 1 week has passed while I am writing this review.
This is working great so far.
* Sound is OK (can't compare to a home theater system)
* Picture quality is great.
* The DLNA feature is great.
* Yahoo Widgets are great. Can't wait to get more widgets available.
You should also try the TwonkyMedia player. Google it.
It can play a large variety of media available on internet directly to your tv. No need to setup a streaming server.
- However the remote is a problem.
The tv's response to the remote is very late. Sometimes I have to click the button 3-4 times to to just change the channels. I have tried changing batteries but nothing works.
May be I received a faulty piece.
- Another thing about this tv is it can connect to WiFi network ONLY through Samsung Wifi adapter (available separately for $75 - $90). It seems ridiculous to me. It is not an issue for me because I am connecting it through a ethernet cable, but for some other consumers it can be a problem.
- Also the ethernet connection DOES NOT work if you directly connect it to your cable modem. The connection HAS to go through a router otherwise it does not detect the network.
Overall it is good so far. I am giving it 4 starts because of the remote.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

There is no perfection in this world! This tv is so clear so perfect that it makes me nervous when I watch tv. I had to change the settings so it doesn't appear to be so clear. I recommend spend less money on a tv, and wanting to return this item for a lower end one but changed my mind because of the size of the tv is not really that mobile.

The good news began when the TV was received earlier than predicted. Excellent right out of the box and the picture is first rate. I replaced a 5 year old DLP 50 inch screen with this 52 inch and I cannot be more pleased.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

We purchased the Samsung LN52B750 on 8-08-09 so we have had it about two months now. We are very happy with the TV. The pitcure is great, the remote is easy to understand and it is a nice looking set. The only draw back is the screen is very reflective. at night if you are watch any program that has a dark scene you can see the table lamps in the picture.

We have had this tv for about 30 days now and really enjoy the quality. The picture is what the other reviewers said it was. The shipper brought the tv in unpacked it and hooked it up. They were very careful and professional.
My wife and I watch a lot recorded television in the evenings when we have time to sit down and enjoy it. This tv has really brought more enjoyment into the experience. There is more detail and color than the tv we replaced.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.

My family and I just love this TV, particularly for watching sports. We looked at a lot of LCD and Plasmas but saw none that gave us the sense of depth this one does. It is like 3D. Moreover, our family room is also a sun room during the day but the picture is just as strong in the day time as it is when the room is dark. The viewing angle is comparatively wide. We see no appreciable drop off when it is viewed at an angle. It is large enough that my wife can view it from the adjacent kitchen with ease.
Learning how to use its features and to set it up is another matter and that is the one gripe I have with the TV. Samsung only provides a four page manual which tells the owner nothing. Instead it includes a flash drive which contains a manual for its use but it took me over three weeks to realize what the flash drive was for. The manual does not show the available ports or how things are to be connected to the TV. I finally figured it out by trial and error and got the flash drive connected. Finding out how to use it however, was again a lot of trial and error. Once I was able to read the pages, it was hard to read, mostly grey on black (I hate black-you can't see where anything is on black). Figuring how to page the manual on the TV isn't easy. Samsung provides numerous steps to take but the user has to leave the Manual screen to go through the steps and unless the user writes out all the steps, it is a tiresome process to follow the steps.
So I tried using the flash drive on my computer. Well the manual is in a strange format so it will not open normally. Windows searched for a driver that would allow viewing the manual and found one which I downloaded and installed The one I found that worked was from IrFanView but one must also download all the plugins before it will work. However, when I opened the Manual, it was unprintable except with a screen capture utility.
That was more trouble than it was worth and it then dawned on me to go to the Samsung Support Center and see if there was a Manual that could be downloaded. Voila, the Manual was available in both PDF and Word formats but because the Manual is in three languages, it is 273 pages long. Just print the first 75 pages.
What I found is that with no difficulty I could run picture shows directly from either my camera or from a card reader. They come out beautifully. If I tried to print pictures that big, they would be grainy as all get out. But the pictures show in full size on the big screen in terrific detail and color and they have depth.
But I wish the USB ports were either on the side or the front where they are easily accessible. I intend to wall mount the screen but if I do I won't be able to get to the connections which are on the back. And even then it is difficult to insert USB cords because the recess is so narrow.
We love this TV however, because of the lack of a printed manual and the location of the USB ports, I can only give it 4 stars.Get more detail about Samsung UN55B6000 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV.

Image Quality and Connectivity:
This Samsung UN55B6000 is excellent technology and priced to move. We've got it hooked up to a cable box (MOT DCT 6200) via the 1 component connection and the image is sharp and crispy and the colors are vivid and bright.
We have an older PC connected via the VGA connection and the 3.5mm mini audio connection. Internet browser windows come up real sharp in 1920x1280i resolution. Sidebar: I'm also using wi fi and wireless mouse and keyboard.
Hi-res images look fantastic. This TV was assembled with web-browsing and computing in mind (Net widget, USB, JPEG and mp3 friendly) and Samsung has nailed it.
Online Support and Configuring the Cable Box:
Initially, the cable box was sending 720x480i to the TV. Fortunately I was able to find forums online with posts from a Samsung HD Tech and a cable co. employee that outlined the solution -- turn off the cable box, hit the menu button (cable remote) and here you can select the higher (or different) resolution.
Additionally, the cable box required two power cycles for this (resolution) change to take effect but when it did I was viewing cable tv in 1920x1080i.
Using Samsung's P.Size (Picture) Button:
When watching cable programming broadcast in HD, the 16:9 (aspect ratio) mode looks the best to me. For standard definition programming the Wide-Fit mode stretches the image a bit to fill the screen.
I've noticed some adjusting is required when flipping between channels, for example, sometimes CNN ticker text is below the screen and other times the Fox Sports Net FSN graphic is a bit above the screen. Perhaps this issue is addressed in the screen-fit mode, I'm not sure yet, I'll have to mash a few more buttons. Overall, I give it 4.5 stars.
