 Great TV July 8, 2008
19 out of 24 found this review helpful
This tv is really great. The HD picture is the best and brightest I've seen. You can't go wrong with the TV the prices at Amazon were much lower than any store in my area. We love this tv so much we also have the 61" and my son has the 50". The 67" tv fit on my bedroom dresser and is just right for watching tv in the bedroom. It wasen't too heavy to carry up the stairs. And Super easy to set up.
 Excellent Product, Great Price, Minor Issues July 27, 2008

I bought the Samsung HL67A750 on sale from a local Fry's. The unit was delivered in 4 days for a small fee that included carrying the unit upstairs.
I have owned front projectors for 25+ years (starting with the Kloss Novabeam Model One and continuing to my previous Sony VPL-HS20). The Samsung HL67A750 is easily the best unit I have bought for watching TV (and doing a little big screen gaming) and yet was the least expensive TV/Monitor I have bought since my first projector. The visual quality was excellent out of the box with very little fiddling needed.
The negatives I found on this unit were minor, but worth mentioning.
The sound is weak at best, but was unimportant as I have a 7.1 external sound system. The only moderately annoying issue I found was that the projector is apparently a significant source of flickering IR. This caused my RX-V3800 to think it is receiving an intermittent mute command from a non-existent remote. While this is annoying, it was reduced considerably by changing the placement of the RX-V3800. While the mute still occurs occasionally (primarily when a person stands in front of the TV and reflects back the IR to the receiver) it is now acceptable.
In conclusion: The Samsung HL67A750 is an excellent product with only minor issues
Best on the market right now. October 16, 2008

First and foremost, size isn't everything. But it's certainly nice to have! When I began researching TVs to replace my 9 year-old Toshiba 36" CRT, I was only looking in the 46-52" range. I'm in the military and move every couple years, so I needed something that I could move safely and that would work in any reasonable environment. This eliminated plasmas, which reputedly do not perform well at higher altitudes. Next I looked at LEDs. The black levels are getting better, although it seems B&W stores continue to carry models 2-3 generations back for the same price you can order the newest models online. But then you run in to the dead pixel issue and the insecurity that comes along with an LED, and the hassle if you have a dead pixel out of the box and you purchased online. Nevertheless, I continued to look at LEDs until going out to a B&M store to actually look at TVs. I knew ahead of time that stores don't calibrate TVs on display and you can't judge picture quality based on what you see in the store, but I did want to get a better sense of the layout, saturation, issues with any uneven lighting of the screen, and so forth. On my way to the back wall with LEDs I walked through an aisle of DLP sets - a couple Sammies and a Mitsubishi. They looked nice, and they were larger than life. Black levels were solid, even when uncalibrated. So I went home and started researching DLPs to compare to the Sony and Samsung LEDs I had previously narrowed my search to. Lo and behold, the Samsung 6xA750 TVs were getting the most favorable reviews by videophiles. They didn't like the sound from the TV's speakers (and for good reason - it sounds like a tin can) but as a monitor everyone seemed to love the LED-based 750 series. I also read briefly about last year's 650 series, but didn't want to bother with bulb-based technology, so I was left with the 61" or 67" version of the A750 series. It seemed more people had QC issues with the 61" than the 67" for some reason, so I decided to bite the bullet and buy the 67", which is so much larger than I originally contemplated that I can only imagine what my wife is thinking about me right now. However, the 67A750 is cheaper than any of the newer-model 52" LED flatscreens I was considering, still weighs less than my old 36" CRT, and the picture is incredible. On blu-ray discs the picture is breathtaking. I haven't seen HD cable or satellite on it (I'm with DirecTV and they provide absolutely NO incentive to upgrade, wanting an arm and a leg to do so) but others with similar observations to mine on other aspects of this TV claim it's the best picture they've ever seen. Those are certainly my sentiments with blu-ray. When I set up my 5.1 home theater it felt like I was *in* the movie, not just watching it. I'm afraid to watch a horror movie on this thing - I might poop myself. Have I mentioned the picture is incredible?
Even on SD sources, the TV looks great. It upscales to 1080p, and does a better job of it, in fact, than my Denon receiver, through which all sources run. You will still see some fuzziness around edges if you look closely, for nothing I've found can upscale a SD source perfectly, and you'll see some splotches on a completely black screen, but the picture on this TV even with SD sources is more than acceptable. Perhaps the fuzziness would be even more difficult to see on a smaller TV of equal capability (the 61A750) but what you gain with the extra size when using HD sources outweighs the advantage the 61" might have with SD sources by virtue of its size.
I did hundreds of hours of homework over 4 months before buying a TV. I was confident I had made the right choice when I ordered this from Amazon, and am certain of it now that the TV has arrived.
One final note, which is about shipping: my experience was as follows. Ordered TV at 1pm central time friday. Amazon package tracker originally said TV would not ship until Tuesday. This is because CEVA tries to get a full truck before pulling out of amazon warehouse. TV actually shipped same day, and arrived in Kansas City at 9am Sunday morning. Monday was Columbus Day. TV was delivered to my house in perfect condition at 9am Tuesday. Five stars for Amazon and CEVA as well as the TV!
Make sure you read the reviews on the optional extended warranty here on amazon before you buy it.
Summary: The only drawback of this TV is the quality of the sound it outputs. The picture is flawless. Amazon and CEVA did a great job getting the TV to me, which along with outstanding price makes Amazon one of the best sources for this TV.
 Don't buy anything from SAMSUNG! June 24, 2008

Don't buy SAMSUNG! They don't accept return if you have any problem!
I bought 50" DLP Samsung TV on 03/31/2008 from Buy.com. At that time, Buy.com said "return directly to manufacturer" policy. Two weeks ago, the TV had big problem: the voice volume always staying at 0, and so many function doesn't work, for example, you can't change from TV channel to DVD; power couldn't be turn off by remote. I called SAMsung customer service, they said they can only fix it and I can't return it. How could I know the policy before I get the manual? I called the repair department. One guy said he need order one part. Another week passed, no any information.
My family already no TV for two weeks. It is unfair to me. I need a new TV, while after repair it is a refurbished TV and will be out of one year warrenty.
If I buy the TV from Costco, bestbuy CC, I can return it easily.
I already filed complaint to BBB.
Great set July 30, 2008

BRIGHT, even with ambient light, BIG!, and surprisingly THIN considering it's a rear-projection screen. Ah, the magic of mirrors.
Love the LED technology which means (1) no bulb to blow out and replace, saving money and tech hassle (2) brighter screen.
Has the usual caveats you'd notice for any rear-projection model - e.g., if you move your POV off-center from the screen, say, as you walk into the room, the screen appears less bright. But straight on it's good even in a room with unshuttered windows.
Does a creditable job upscaling any signal sent to it, with no noticeable digital artifacting.
Bought also a Samsung upscaling DVD player; the two speak to each other over Samsung's proprietary AnyNet, so that loading a DVD turns the TV on and sets it to receive signal from the player, and turning the player off turns off the TV.
Yankee games in HD over cable also look magnificent - but of course if you're doing HD you have to use a digital input, not 75 ohm. Make sure your cable box has HDMI output.
All in all a fantastic buy. Well worth it. Shipping was simple - I had the set 5 calendar days after ordering it, and the shipper even carried it upstairs and helped me put it in place. Make sure to tip your shipper!
