Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color Best Quality

I had a Sony KDL-52W4100 for about 5 months. The BluRay discs in Theater mode played well but the regular HD TV (AT&T Uverse) was less than satisfactory. I tried adjusting the picture settings many times and no matter what, the colors looked artificial to me and it also had the problem of fluctuating back light. I also have a Samsung LN32A450, which I think has outstanding picture quality for both HD and non-HD programs. I decided to take a loss and sell the Sony.

I then started looking into the 52" 2009 models. Based on the Excellent rating provided by CNET, I started seriously looking at this TV and bought it a month back. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

I now have two very good TVs from Samsung and can highly recommend this product.

After a few attempts for picture setting, I have settled on the following:

Natural
Backlight: 3
Contrast: 97
Brightness: 61
Sharpness: 45
Color: 43
Color Tone: Normal
Size: Screen Fit (most channels have white flashing lines in the bottom, so I switch back to 16:9)
Energy saving: off

I have a pleasing picture which looks natural and is as good or better than my 32" Samsung A450 for HD. Non-HD display is OK but I don't watch much of it any way.

I can't really say if the 240 HZ or the 2 ms response time contributes much to the performance of the TV but I think the higher contrast ratio (150,000:1) does. Lot of the movies I saw in the Sony are much better on this TV, very good black level, contrast and color.

The reflective screen was a bit of a concern before I bought the TV as I have a window on the side, but is not as bothersome as CRT TVs (no issue with the matte screen in the Sony). Sony had better sound quality than the Samsung.

Haven't used much of the Yahoo widgets but maybe someday. The internet connectivity can be handy. Although my internet settings are fine, when I try to do an online SW upgrade, I get a message "Connection failed (600)".

Registered the product with Samsung and got 3 months of additional warranty.

If we are spending over 2k for a TV, it is fine to expect a little perfection. I think you can most certainly get that from this TV. The LED TVs are very slim and looks attractive, but if picture quality is your primary concern, this TV might do just fine.
