We waited for 8 months to get our new LCD. After doing research for 15days I went to Fry's to buy LN52A750 last week with $2k budget in my mind. However the sales rep said many people returned that TV because of its very glossy screen and he recommended me to buy LN52630 instead because it has non-reflective (matte) screen. A630 looked very dull when compared to A750 however the glossy screen of A750 was bugging me and was stopping me from buying that TV. Then my wife saw B750 which was kept very next to A750. I compared both for 30 min. B750 has glossy screen but not as glossy as A750. When asked sales rep said it has anti glare coating and it is a semi-glossy. Guess what that is exactly what I wanted. Also color looked very bright and crispy in B750 and so as clarity. No motion blurriness at all. I am not sure about the source of the signal but B750 looked better than A750 to me. Even though B750 priced $600 more than A750 it has 2ms response time and 240HZ refresh rate and semi glossy screen. I did not think much thereafter. Paid $2465 + tax + delivery = $2715. :(
When we received the TV we did not have HD subscription. With SD signal our first impression was not that great. Channels looked normal and not exceptional for the price we paid. Some sports channels looked very blurry. But I knew this TV is capable of producing amazing picture as I have seen this at showroom. I called TimeWarner and got HD subscription very next day. Technician connected the HD box to the TV with standard cable. Even though HD looked very clear it still had ghosting effect when looked from very near. This worried me little bit. Cable technician suggested me to use the HD component for better quality signal. I decide to buy it next day. However my friend suggested me to use HDMI cable. My TW HD receiver did not have HDMI output. So I had that receiver exchanged for the one with HDMI output. Barrowed HDMI cable from my friend and connected to TV. Guess what? HDMI cable made all the difference. I could not be happier than that in my life. Oh my god. Picture quality was amazing. It was crystal clear. Ghosting effect was gone and I did not notice even slightest motion blurriness. Some channels such as TBS, TNT, CBS, HGTV looked amazingly clear. I did not test this TV on Blue ray but I am pretty sure it would look great. I connected TV to Internet and I am not very excited about this feature. It connects to Yahoo and we can access yahoo news, weather etc. These features are not very useful to me in any way. Sound quality looks ok to me. Remote is easy to operate and menus are easy to navigate. I keep auto motion option in standard mode and I did not find any difference when this feature is OFF. May be I'll look next time and update the review.
Overall this is a great TV however it would be good if it is few hundred dollars cheaper. But I have no regret and would strongly recommend this to anyone.
