Samsung LN40B750

$1,999.00 Released April, 2009

The Pros:Ultra Clear panel effectively prevents screen glare - high contrast ratio works to eliminate light refraction even when in direct contact. Minimal blockiness during fast-paced content as compared to other leading LCDs - sports and action scenes are smooth and vivid. Stock remote is backlit and has an intuitive layout - less likely to force users into buying a universal remote than many competitor sets from Sony and LG.

The Cons:240Hz processing is not for everyone - tends to provide a "live television" or "soap opera" effect to even the highest-quality content. Lack of a hardware input-switching command may be frustrating for users without a universal remote - must be accessed via the unit's on-screen menu. Widget interface tends to run relatively slow - not recommended for users with slower internet connections.

Also known as the 750 Series, the 7 Series line of televisions represents Samsung's highest end LCD HDTVs that use regular CCFL backlighting solution as opposed to the newer LED backlights. This 2009 line continues the 7 Series brand introduced in 2008, and upgrades the sets to contain the top of the line features of 2009 which includes a 1080p native resolution, 240Hz motion compensation technology, deep Internet connectivity and expanded digital media format support.
