>> Hi I'm David Katzmaier with CNET. And this is a Samsung LN52B750. It's one of three sizes in the B750 series. There is also a 46 and a 40 inch, and this review does apply to all three sizes. This TV is one of Samsungs better non-LED backlit TV's. It uses standard fluorescent backlights, but it does still produce a pretty good picture. It doesn't have that thin form factor of the edgelit LED's on Samsungs line. However, this one's a standard. Seen from the side it's about 3-1/2 inches deep. So if you want that really, really ultra thin look, this is not the TV, but it's still pretty darn thin. The styling on this TV is pretty standard; it's glossy black on all four sides. There's really no touch of color on this TV. It doesn't have that kind of color accent that a lot of the other Samsung models do. It does have this nice kind of clear around the edge of the screen and also around the stand, and the stand does swivel. Feature set on this TV is quite extensive. There's a 240-hertz refresh rate, so it refreshes faster for less motion blur. It also has dejudder processing that's adjustable on this set, which is a nice touch. There's also plenty of ways to play around with the picture. You can go in and adjust the gamma, color, temperature, even color management systems. So overall features are very extensive. TV's also compatible with Yahoo Widgets, which are little internet content nodules, such as Twitter, sports score, weather, news, information that sort of thing. There's gonna be a lot more widgets coming soon, but this TV allows it to use these widgets and download new ones from the widget gallery. Around back you'll find three HDMI inputs, as well as two component video and a PC input. The side panel adds a fourth HDMI input with plenty of overall connectivity. In terms of performance we really like what we saw on this Samsung TV. We went to that dejudder processing before. It actually does a pretty good job of being able to separate the dejudder from the actual anti-blurring. So you get that anti-blurring effect without having to deal with the smoothness of dejudder. We like that. We also really like the Blackwell performance, again for a TV that doesn't use LED backlights, still very nice deep black, color accuracy, again very good on this set. We really found it hard to complain about much on this TV, although didn't really like the glossy screen. That's a quick look at the Samsung LN52B750. And I'm David Katzmaier. ^E00:02:12

It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested.
One of the best overall LCDs we've tested, the Samsung LN-S4096D delivers very good picture quality, along with plenty of features and style.
The high-end Panasonic TC-PV10 series of plasmas delivers the overall best picture quality of any flat-panel HDTV we've tested so far this year.
With picture quality that matches its less expensive brother but not the best of the stiff competition, the main appeal of the Samsung PNB850/860 series is based on its sleek, ultrathin panel.
Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative.
While the Samsung HP-S5053's picture doesn't rank among the best of the 50-inch plasmas we've reviewed, its sweet style and scads of inputs help it compete.
While not up to the picture quality of Samsung's top-flight models, the feature-rich, uniquely styled LNB650 series still outperforms most LCDs on the market.
Although the picture quality of the stylish, expensive Sony KDL-52XBR2 falls short against like-size plasmas, it's still the best-performing LCD we've tested.
Although its picture quality can't quite live up to the high price, the Samsung UNB7000 series is a technological and design tour de force.
The Samsung LN-T4665F HDTV's picture quality exceeds that of any LCD we've tested so far, despite its shiny, reflective screen.
Samsung LN40B750 Review
The good: Reproduces deep black levels; accurate color, commendable picture uniformity for an LCD; very good dejudder processing; extensive feature set with Yahoo Widgets, network streaming and built-in content; solid connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input.
The bad: Somewhat expensive; benefits of 240Hz difficult to discern; dark areas tinged bluer; shiny screen can cause reflections in bright rooms; no S-Video inputs.
The bottom line: The Samsung LNB750 series can't beat the picture quality of the best plasmas and LED-based LCDs, but for a conventional LCD, it's one of the best we've tested.
