I can't say enough about this television and Amazon. The picture and colors were amazing right out of the box. I had originally bought this t.v. from one of the Big Box stores locally and was very pleased with the product, but when the (supposedly) comparable W-series model from Sony went on sale for $500 less I decided to return the Samsung for the Sony. Big Mistake! After having the Sony for less than 10 days I couldn't get over how washed out and drab the picture was. I couldn't even compare the "Vivid" setting on the Sony to the "Standard" setting on the Samsung, the difference was that significant. And don't even get me started on comparing 'standard-def' television on the 2 models. The Sony feels like I'm watching a 20-yr old set with rabbit-ears for reception.
My father had purchased the Sony because of the sale and he kept telling me that for $500 difference he was very happy with his Sony. Well, I couldn't stand it any longer remembering the beauty of the picture of the Samsung and finally decided to return the Sony to the Big Box store and (re-)purchase the Samsung through Amazon. It was within $200 of the price of the much cheaper Sony through the BB store! Still much cheaper than my original purchase of the first Samsung.
After receiving the product from Amazon and watching it for about 2 weeks I kept noticing trouble with 'ghosting' images with any moderate to fast speed movement on the screen. I called Customer Service and they were absolutely a pleasure to deal with in getting a replacement out to me after contacting Samsung direct and finding out that the unit was defective. The defective unit was picked up when the new unit was delivered, which was in a shorter time frame than the Customer Service rep had said!
Overall I can't say how hassle-free and easy it was dealing with the extremely professional and pleasant staff at Amazon. And what about my Dad and his Sony? After coming over to check out the picture quality of the Samsung, he wants to know if he can return his Sony and pay the difference to upgrade to the much better Samsung!
From now on, I will give my business to Amazon and you should too.
The picture on this tv is the best I have ever seen anywhere. I can see every leaf on every tree. It appears as though the actors are standing in my living room. I can't see the halo that so many reviewers complained about and so far the touch of color is intact.
The only problem I have with this is the lag. The response on this tv is only 4 milliseconds. From everything I have read, that is much faster than most, if not all lcd's. I have read that there is also a lag from the source. I'm not really sure which is the main offender. There is a "game" setting and it is very helpful, but it's not quite enough. I play a lot of retro games, Atari 2600 & Nintendo NES, etc. Most of these require high speed moves. I've tried most of my games on the tv and most of them are fine, but others are just not going to make it. I could not survive the first 90 seconds of Mike Tyson on Punch Out. And my score on Kaboom! was sub par. But my god the NES games look amazing. The Atari looks a little hazy, but it's 33 years old so I can forgive this.
I don't have A PS3 yet but Wikipedia says that the lag won't exist with HDMI connection. PS2 looks good and I'm sure the lag is there, but I don't feel it with any of my games.
The lag is also present with my Directv DVR. Fast forward commercials and you miss out on the bounce back when you hit play. So I have too rewind for a few seconds everytime, which quickly gets annoying. I'm not using HDMI as I'm still recieving standard definition.(waiting for the next HD DirectTivo). I'm hoping that will increase the speed and take care of that problem.
The sound quality is nothing special, but no tv sound ever is. The remote is fine, although too complicated for my universal to keep up. So now I have extra clutter on the coffee table. The stand is suitable with grips on the bottom. It looks great, doesn't weigh too much, and the inputs are adequate.
I suppose it is the closest thing to perfection that exists today. Hopefully one day a new tv will come along that can handle games from the 70's. Until then I'll make do.
The reviews on this TV are what swayed me to purchase the Samsung over a Sony. I saw a Sony in a show room and read many great reviews. I was determined to purchase a Sony. Until I started reading user reviews here.
My household revolves around the TV, we love movies and gaming is a big part of our family time.
A purchase of this size involved a whole lot of planning. I looked and waited for exactly what I wanted. Contrast ratio, screen size, and versitility were very important.
I waited for the 750 model in the 52 inch screen and am so glad I was patient. I got a great price ($900 dollars less than the local retailer), all of our gaming systems plus our DVD player all run on this set without unplugging and replugging cables. Our family room isn't large 14X20 so we worried that the set would be too big. No way, it's like having our own private theater. If you are thinking about another brand don't waste any more of your time, this TV is amazing and worth every penny.
This is an excellent TV with bright crisp picture. So far no problem (own for a month). Amazon free delivery and set up service for the TV was excellent too.
Had this tv little over a month now, bought it from a local retailer and couldn't be happier! No problems, picture is perfect, easy to mount to the wall and no glare issues at all! HIGHLY recommmend this tv to anyone looking.
Overall Impression: I love this set, best thing since sliced bread.
Pros: Great picture, still can't believe it!
Excellent feature set.
Cons: None so far.
Unfortunately I have not completed the room yet that this was purchased for, and it is now temporarily in my bedroom. The sound for a TV is very good imo, plenty of volume, but not sure I would call it surround. Ran it this way for several days before the 7.1 surround receiver arrived and speakers were hooked up in 5.1 mode. Picture quality is excellent, with excellent detail, accurate color, and brightness. I have so far played blue ray movies via a PS3 which is just like being there, and upscaled from VHS and standard DVD player (good quality, but not as well as the engine in the Onkyo TX-NR906 receiver). Over air HDTV, satellite, or the ethernet capability has not been tried due to the current setup location, I will update once this has happened. I like the look of the "Touch of Color" bezel with minimal red at the edge, and so far in the month I have had it has not cracked. Note: I looked but was unable to notice the "halo effect" in complete darness that was mentioned in a number of reviews. Overall, I am completely thrilled with the set and still grinning from ear to ear.
As I write this "review", I am flaming hot under the collar. The Samsung 750 LCD television I bought is fine and dandy. I purchased it, however, in conjunction with a GE Bank credit card offer from Amazon. In short, the pitch was that if I applied for the card and was accepted, I would have 24 months to pay off the TV with no interest.
I received my first statement on March 3rd. On March 4th, I wrote a check for $82.00 and mailed it, pursuant to the instructions on my statement.
Today, March 26th, I wrote a check for $1913.79, and paid the wretched account in full. You see, yesterday I received my second statement. It reflects that my first payment was not posted until March 15th even though, as I said, I mailed it March 4th. This second statement also reflects a Late Fee of $35.00 posted March 12th, PLUS a Finance Charge of $32.54 posted March 20th.
Did I call GE's customer service? No and I won't. It is not worth the trouble or indignity of explaining the obvious. It does strike me as ironic that our government is bailing-out financial institutions with these sort of shennanigans going on.
I cut-up my card. I expected better from Amazon.
Like everyone else buying a $$$$ TV I read a ton of reviews, and was a little nervous ordering something from Amazon that was fragile and needed to be delivered. It was easy enough -- took about a week and they called 2 days before to schedule an appointment. TV looks and works great. This is my 2nd Samsung TV and I still love them.
My two concerns were reflections in the glossy finish, and the "halo effect" in the frame. Any reflections are overpowered by the bright screen, and the halo effect is not an issue at all. I mean, it's there, but it's not distracting or anything. I would definitely buy a TV from Amazon again.
I researched many Samsung and Sony LCD HDTV models for a couple months prior to my purchase and was originally wanting the LN52A850, but was not able to justify the difference in price for the thin-ness of that model. I ended up buying the LN52A750 when it finally hit my Gold Box at $1880.00. I scheduled for a Monday delivery, but it ended up arriving three days earlier -- I was very happy about having it for the weekend, so thanks Amazon!
On the upside - It shipped with a newer firmware than was on the website, so no upgrade was needed. It has very fluid motion response and excellent picture quality, even with 120Hz Auto Motion Plus on the High setting. The Content Library is nice, and although some of the downloaded digital photos for the Gallery part did not work (some showed blank), the photos were very high quality and really show off the TV. The kids enjoyed the story and songs (though they were visually quite amateurish). Hopefully, Samsung will expand upon the Content Library. Also to note, even though the manual claims that the USB port does not support hard drives, after I formatted (Fat32) and attached a 30GB 2.5" IDE hard drive via an ATA/USB adapter, the TV was able to both power and read it without difficulty. I'm guessing the only reason they don't officially support attaching hard drives is because the results will most certainly vary among brands of drives and of drive enclosures.
On the downside - DLNA is not all that great. Using EyeConnect on a new MacBook Pro, I discovered there was some weird video skipping even when both Mac and TV were directly connected to a new Netgear ProSafe Gigabit Switch. I suspect it might be a hardware issue rather than software, because although I can't confirm, I'm guessing they might be using a 10-baseT ethernet port on the TV, which would most likely be the cause of a throughput issue. I'm not taking off for this, because I'd already expected to connect a Mac to play movies directly to the TV via HDMI cable/DVI adapter with optical audio through my sound system.
One odd thing I noticed, however, is when the TV is attached via HDMI/DVI to a Mac, even though it reports as 1920x1080i, it starts off actually displaying as at 1920x1080p (1920x1080p doesn't even show as a selectable option in the Displays Preference Pane). When switching to a lower resolution, then back to the 1920x1080i setting, it actually does change it to 1080i - the picture quality goes down and the interlace scanning makes it look like crap. The only way to get back to Full 1080p is to use the Displays Menu Recent Settings (to see this, click the Show in Menu option in the Displays Preference Pane). It is most likely a driver issue under Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard (I tried the latest of both versions on two different Macs). However, as long as I'm able to get back to the highest quality, then that is all I really care about.
All-in-all, I'm very happy with our purchase. And, out of 21 digital channels we get over the air here in Decatur, GA, about 1/3 of them are HD. My brother came over and was also blown away at the picture quality we were getting with it. With awesome HDTV over the air, who needs to pay $$$ for cable or satellite? Thanks and great job Samsung!
I researched this for a while and am EXTREMELY happy with my "Sammy" (Samsung LN52A750). The picture is AMAZING, I have it hooked up to my home theatre, and a Samsung BD-P2550 Blu Ray DVD Player (they work so well together)!
Amazon and Pilot Shipping were AWESOME! They called me and were able to deliver 2 days earlier than the promised date. The delivered it on a Saturday and were right on time and very, very polite.
The TV has awesome features.
BTW buy all your cables online!! They are SOO much cheaper!

Product Description
Beautiful. Thin. Packed with HDTV technology. The samsung LN52A850 includes revolutionary Touch of Color and Infolink which transfers customized content from the web right to your screen. Access it anytime you want, even while watching your favorite TV programs or movies. And Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology practically eliminates any motion blur so your action-packed movies are more realistic, more thrilling, more exciting to watch. The samsung LN52A850 redefines your home entertainment experience.
The set is a 120 hz refresh rate but when it displays the pixel x pixel x refresh rate it displays 60, not 120. I called their "help" line and they told me to acccept on faith that the set is 120 and the display is supposed to be that way. OMG, I have faith but not in Samsung's support people.
Amazon delivered the product days before it was expected to to be delivered. The delivery service was friendly and informative. The picture quality of this TV is exceptional. It has the multiple HDMI, composite and USB connections that I needed. Simple to use interface.
I am very pleased with my purchase.
Very happy. Picture is great. New Model is Out, Who cares can't go wrong. The Only thing is when delivered the guy came by himself I had to help bring it upstairs with him.
You will not be dissapointed with this TV. We sit down every night and are wow! each time we turn it on. The price is right with Amazon.
Have had product for about a month. Couldn't be more pleased with this HDTV. Picture quality is outstanding. Sporting events are like being there live. Would highly recommend. Setup was easy. Downside, the quality of blu-ray movies on this TV is so good we keep adding to our library; it's getting expensive.
Wow, wow, wow!! This is an amazing television. After spending hours in a local best buy and figuring out what I wanted, I was nearly ready to buy it there on the spot. Thankfully, I decided to come home and check out the prices and reviews on Amazon. I am SO glad I did. Not only did the reviews confirm the high quality I had seen in the local store, but it also calmed my fears about buying such a big item over the Internet. I saved HUNDREDS of dollars by buying it from Amazon.
I won't repeat what previous reviewers have said, but suffice it to say that we are COMPLETELY pleased with our purchase. The picture quality is AMAZING, and the free shipping / delivery was right on time. The gentlemen who delivered the TV were very professional. They carried this large TV up to the second floor game room (I was worried that they wouldn't do that) ... then took it out of the box, turned it on, and made sure it had picture and sound. No, they won't hook it up to peripherals, and no, they won't mount it on the wall.... but that's not what they are paid to do. They did exactly what I expected from them.
The only problem we have had since receiving this item is not the fault of the TV .... we have found that our cable service does not have a sufficiently strong signal in our house to provide cable service to this TV. It was able to provide a picture on our older, standard TV, but this baby pulls alot of "juice" from the cable service. Apparently my cable service has been weak, but we just didn't know it. As I write this review, I am waiting for Comcast cable to come back and dig a new cable line in my back yard. This TV didn't CAUSE the problem, it merely HIGHLIGHTED a problem I already had, but just didn't know about.
So in the meantime, we have been watching DVDs and Blu-Rays on this TV. They look AMAZING. Very life-like (and practically life-SIZE!!)
I highly recommend this TV -- and I wholeheartedly recommend Amazon as a seller.
I shopped around a lot before making my decision and I don't regret choosing the Samsung LN52A850. The image is beautiful, the TV is super thin and I love the red accent. The Amazon delivery service was perfect and they even delivered my TV earlier then planned. I love it!
My Wife and I weren't even planning to buy another TV yet. We just couldn't resist the price. It was unbelievably lower than local competitors (closest local was $600 more). Free shipping and no tax? Crazy, but great for us. The TV is fantastic. We haven't seen any clouding that was mentioned in other reviews. We must be the lucky ones. The color is miles better than the 46" Sharp Aquos we moved into the bedroom. The picture is crystal clear. We don't have bluray or HD yet, but even standard definition is super clean. We have an upscaling DVD player that makes things so clear they look fake. My only minor gripe was with the delivery/set-up. The guy that delivered didn't set it up as Amazon.com said. He opened the box and when my Wife asked about the set up, he said he didn't do that. I read they were supposed to set it up and turn it on to show you it worked. We had no problems doing it ourselves, it just not what we expected. Can't really complain when we didn't pay for shipping anyway. This was my first purchase with Amazon.com, but it won't be the last! Thanks!
I purchased this product through Amazon from Electronics Expo. I received the TV on time, spent 5 hours setting it up with my home theater and making sure everything was perfect. The picture quality is absolutely amazing. 4 Days later while watching the basketball game, the TV made a loud popping noise and turned off. I was unable to get a picture after that. I contacted Electronics Expo thinking they would just send me a new one since the one I bought was defective. Boy, was I wrong. The person I spoke to went on for several minutes about their policy and made me feel like it was my fault the TV died. He said there was nothing they could do and asked me to call Samsung. I then contacted Samsung and was told they would need to send a service tech out to look at the TV but it would be about a week before he could come out. I had no choice so I waited, took the day off from work when he was scheduled and then he didn't even come out. He called me the day of and asked what the problem was and I told him. He said there was no need for him to come since he knew what was wrong with the TV. He said he would have to replace the panel but did not have any available and would have to order one. He said they would call me to re-schedule the service. It has now been 3 weeks and I am still without a TV. I have contacted Samsung and they tell me to call the local service center but when I do I get an answering machine. I tried contacting Electronics Expo to see if they could call Samsung on my behalf. I was made to feel like a nuisance but afetr talking to a supervisor she took my information and said she would call Samsung on my behalf and would call me back to let me know what they said. I never heard back from her. Needless to say, this purchase has been a nightmare. I had to send in my credit card payment for the purchase price of the TV already. It doesn't feel good paying over 2 grand for a product that doesn't work. I am not giving this TV a bad rating, it is a wonderful TV, but I feel its necessary to warn other people before they purchase through Electronics Expo.
To start with, I am one of those people that won't buy anything without first wasting two months trying to make up my mind. When I moved into my house, I spent roughly four months researching televisions. Using AVS Forums as my primary research point, along with other top review sites such as CNET, I ultimately decided on the Samsung LN46A650.
Since I watch a lot of movies, hockey and play, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii on this tv, I needed something that had deep color but that also could handle fast motion.
The 650 did not disapoint. In fact it was so good, that not only did my friends notice, but my mom and grandmother also commented on how good the tv looked.
So why all this talk about the 6 series when this review is for the 8 series?
Unfortunately a little over a month ago my house was broken into and among other things, my LN46A650 was stolen. When I went to replace the tv my wife had decided that we should get the 52" instead of another 46". I decided to take advantage of her idea and looked to see what else was new given that I was thrilled with my 650.
Long story short, we decided on the 52" 8 series.
To summarize, the LN52A850 has surpassed my expectations and so far many people that thought the 650 was amazing have commented that the 850 is even better!
I would absolutely recommend this tv as the best one available for fast motion gaming, sports and movies. I would also recommend Amazon.com as I was pleased with the service on both of the tvs that I have purchased.
