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

I purchased the samsung LN52B750 after much review and careful thought and this is one of the best tv out there in the market. I absolutely love all the features in this TV and the picture quality is amazing.

But I would like to inform you all of one thing.
This TV does not support Closed captioning on Component input and I think HDMI input too but i am not sure about HDMI as my cable box did not have hdmi output.

When you call Samsung tech support, they would first try to tell you that it is the problem of the cable box, then when I explain it to them that captioning is enabled on the box, they would finally say that component inputs cannot support closed captioning or something like that. I have another Panasonic TV which does display the closed captioning when I connect the same source to its component inputs which proves that the cable box is outputting the CC info on the component outputs.


After hours on the phone with Samsung tech support and a technician coming to my house, the only conclusion everybody comes to is that the TV does not support it on component inputs.

Now i keep wondering that if we buy a $2500 TV, who would want to watch video on composite input. We would want to connect it to either component input or HDMI but by doing that we don't get the closed caption feature.

Isnt it required by law that all TV manufacturers support CC on their TV. Maybe samsung is getting away with it because they can say that they do support it on composite input. But isnt that plain absurd because nobody is going to use the RF input or the AV input on a big screen TV with 1080p resolution. So basically what samsung is saying that either you get Closed captioning or u get good picture quality but not both.

First samsung has to acknowledge that they have a problem before they can fix it. I am just struggling to get samsung to acknowledge this issue.
Till then I will have to live without CC.Get more detail about Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color.
