Summary: Awesome all around TV with a little more
Comment: This LCD TV is amazing. I spent months looking for the right TV for the right price. The color contrast ratio is one of the best on any LCD TV. Playing games, watching HDTV, and Blue Ray is stunning. I only really looked the visual capabilities of the TV's, but was surprised when I turned on the sound of the TV. It's clear and crisp.
The auto motion plus is simply amazing for sports. It's a totally new experience. With 4 HDMI ports there is plenty of to go around for all devices.
The TV has many extra little features like USB side mount that allows very easy access to set up all those home movies.
The info Link is a cool little feature that allows you to see the weather, stock, and news. This is a cool little feature that is just nice to have.
My only negative to this TV has nothing to do with the TV, but the remote itself. It always seems to stop working at random time and work at others. The remote is not nearly as sleek as the TV. But get your self a universal remote and that is simply taken care of.

Summary: Great HDTV!
Comment: I have this TV mounted on my wall using a Peerless Universal tilt wall mount for 37" - 60" flat panel TVs. The TV is great, no problems with shipping, or install. The picture is just fantastic, I have the Direct TV HD with all the bells and whistles. The sound is pretty good when using just the TV, but better with a surround sound receiver and speakers. I have the network hooked to it, and a LACIE NAS drive with all my music and pictures. It all works as expected. I also purchased the Samsung PB-D1500 Blue ray player. This combo is nice as the player is in a cabinet and the TV transmits the remote control signals to it without an additional repeater. I have read other reviews which seemed to suggest that the touch of red was annoying. The Touch of Red does not even light up, it's so subtle that you can only see it when direct sunlight hits it. I'd recommend this TV to anyone I know. (In fact there are 3 family members that have Samsung flat screen TV's now!)

Summary: Absolutely Awesome!
Comment: Great product. "White Glove" Delivery turned out to be "we'll take it out of the box and make sure the power light goes on", but still very satisfied.

Summary: Awesome...
Comment: First I have to say that the order and delivery process was perfect, I ordered on Monday and the TV was delivered by truck just a week later.
So now about the TV, I got it about a month ago and before this LCD I had a Toshiba DLP for 3+ years; if the DLP was a huge step forward when I first got it, there is almost no comparison with this LCD, with the same setup it is night and day. I mostly watch movies so I am not going to elaborate on HDTV quality, which is great. I do not have a BlueRay but only a standard $40 Philips DVD player for now (with an HDMI connection), and the picture quality is nonetheless impressive, so crisp with most of the movies that it took me a little while to get use to it, sometimes I had the feeling that the picture was almost looking unreal, because the characters were so sharp.
Halo: I was a bit concerned by the reviews mentioning the halo while watching in dark rooms, so far I have not noticed it but I never watch in a completely dark room, there is always a dim light somewhere. This is not an issue for me.
Glare: That's true that the display is very reflective but it is also so bright that this compensate for the reflection. As I said before I mostly watch the TV at night (with the screen set to "low brightness"), but during the day, with setup to "high", it is fine. Still if you focus on a reflection spot it will probably be visible, but this has not been an issue either for me so far.
Computer monitor:
- I tried the analog, VGA port, and the picture quality was kind of yellowish, and I have not investigated further, this was just a test.
- When using the HDMI connection (HDMI 2 port), the picture quality is perfect. I have not done extensive gaming testing, but my RC flight simulator was impressive on that big display.
USB:
- I used a USB storage to load pictures, the quality is good of course but I do not really like the interface and the pictures are very slow to get indexed by the TV software. What I mean is that if for exple I have 500 pictures on the USB key, it is going to take "a while" (a long while) before I am able to visualize all of them. When indexed, the loading time is OK.
- Video (.avi): I tried to play several videos (shot with a Canon Powershot) from the USB storage, the video plays well but after about 10s, the audio stops! On all of them. They are fine on a computer of course. I have not been able to figure out what is wrong yet.
Networking: Not tested, I still have to get some "powerline network" card to connect the TV to my network, I do not like the idea a Samsung's proprietary wireless card, which cannot be used with some of the features.
Conclusion:
I love this TV, I just hope it is going to be a reliable purchase, not like this piece of junk of Toshiba DLP, only time will tell. A friend of mine is going to get this 750 and another friend got the 650 and loves it too.
Wonderful so far.

Summary: Amazing!!!
Comment: I can't add much to what has been said. This TV is simply fantastic for regular TV viewing, for movies and especially for sports. All of my friends are totally jealous. I don't have a problem with light reflection around the trim at all. Hope this helps.
