 Excellent TV - works ok for Linux/home networking, HDHomeRun September 1, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This is my first high definition set. I chose this TV for the DLNA compatiblity. If you're not looking for networking, the 650 is probably a better choice. The extra subwoofer is of no value to me, anyway. I have the set connected to a high quality A/V receiver with speakers, and the sound quality is much better than with the TV alone with its built-in subwoofer. There is no comparison. If you're not using it through a conventional audio system, it might help some, but don't count on getting high quality audio without larger speakers. The extra $200 or so for this set over the 650 is primarily justified by its networking capability.
Picture quality is incredible. The upconversion engine seems to do an excellent job at converting low definition video. I've watched standard DVDs via component video and SD TiVo programming via the S-Video input, and both look great. I've seen older HDTV sets that have washed out video when showing SD material, and this one definitely does not have that problem.
The tuner sensitivity is very good. The analog tuner pulls in stations better than anything else I've seen. The digital sensitivity ends up being not quite as good as my HTL-HD HDTV converter box, however, which has about the best sensitivity I've seen for a digital tuner. One or two digital stations the HTL-HD receives cannot be received by the TV in a similar setup.
I already have an extensive home media system and wanted to be able to stream media from Linux PCs to the television set. There are many pitfalls in getting this set up, but with a properly operating DLNA server and a compatible video source, it is possible to stream high definition (1920x1080) video. My present setup includes a HDHomeRun networked HDTV tuner, which sends data to a Pentium III 800 MHz PC with Linux, which saves the data to disk, and then serves it using the Fuppes DLNA server program. There are no dropouts, and everything seems to work fine. One big drawback, however - you can't fast forward or rewind networked material.
The TV has no problem with JPEG and MP3 files once set up properly. I had an issue with Fuppes on JPEG files, but the problem was with the program, not the TV. MP3 files must be sampled at 44.1 kHz or perhaps 48 kHz to work properly. I had some files from cassettes that were recorded at a 32 kHz sample rate, and the TV would not play them directly. Fortunately, Fuppes can transcode the files on the fly.
All in all, an excellent value if you need a TV with networking capability. Be prepared to spend a lot of time tinkering with software and settings to get the networking operating correctly.

Great TV, hooked up to home network and I can access pictures, mp3, movie from my home computer and play, which is great!
Subwoofer is great Plus and I think this is best TV available today!
Amazon standard shipping is good, go it delivered 2 days earlier with CEVA than promised, delivery guy helped setting up and as a part of delivery we need to verify sound/picture etc all basic things before we sign the paper which is really good.
I recommend this set it has very cool features and got impressed with Network access!
Samsung 40 inch 750 Series Television June 6, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I was very apprehensive about purchasing such a expensive product online and having it shipped to me, but the price compared to what the local stores want got me to go ahead and try. The tv was delivered a week earlier than had been expected and was brought into the home, open, unpacked, placed where I wanted it and throughly inspected for defects or damage. The tv itself is awesome, the pic and color outstanding, not even hooked up to HD. The only thing we don't like is the noise it makes when turning it on and off. Other than that I am extremely happy with the delivery and the tv itself.

I was always reluctant to order something like a TV online but the price for this Samsung 40" A750 without sales tax and free delivery was too hard to pass up. I ordered this HD on 6/3 and on 6/10 they delivered, brought into my house, set up and made sure everything was working. I was blown away at the speed and the service. Then I started watching HD channels on Comcast and I was equally impressed. I have made no adjustments, no revisions to settings, nada. It is the most impressive picture I have seen outside a theatre. My wife was so impressed she made me order an HD for the bedroom. The sound is excellent and when coupled with my stereo speakers is great. The one annoying factor is the sound it makes when powering up and down. I am sure there is a switch to shut it off but I am too busy to read the manual to find the adjustment, since I am watching the most wonderful video on the HD channels and movies. Discovery HD brings the animals and scenery to real life.
Bottom line - this is an exception product. Amazon knows how to deliver.
Such a Deal!!! July 18, 2008

Samsung LN40A750 40-Inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color
I bought this HDTV for my husband on Father's Day. My husband did a lot of research and decided that this was the make/model he wanted. We shopped around and found that NO ONE could beat Amazon's price, so I ordered it. It shipped the next day via CEVA and we received it within a week. CEVA called us to arrange a delivery time. The delivery man set it up and powered it on to ensure everything was working properly. The TV is beautiful, and my husband LOVES it!!
But there's more to rave about - Amazon's price guarantee!! Amazon guarantees that if the price drops within 30 days of a product shipping, they will refund you the difference. The price of the TV was already well below the advertised price at popular electronic chain stores, but I ended up receiving another $225.00 in refunds after-the-fact. Such a deal!!
