Samsung LN40B750 40-Inch 1080p 240 Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color Review

Ok, this will be my 3rd Samsung lcd in a few weeks. I got two LN40C630s and the first one had a bit of ghosting problems as well as a few dead pixels. Returned and got a replacement from Amazon in which I have to commend them on the fast delivery of the second one. I noticed the colors were a bit washed out on this replacement one, and the ghosting was still there. I saw the Samsung LN40B750 which is last years model (2009) and the price was a bit more than the newer C630 so I said with skeptisism, let me try it. WOW, the difference on the picture is like night and day. Compared to the C630, the B750's picture quality is one of the best I've seen. Very clear picture right out of the box, the detail in HD sources like channels and PS3/Xbox 360 is amazing. No washed out colors and did not notice any ghosting. This tv also has built in apps, in which I have not tried yet because I have to run a lan wire through (Will update review once I do). The bezel is a bit longer at the bottom as well as a longer clear neck on the tv stand compared to the C630. Sports a thin hardly noticeable gray line (Touch of Color) and has a light at the bottom of the Samsung logo which can be set to on or off. This lcd has no flashlight problems that I can notice. The screen is a glossy one, which some people might not like because glare can distract from viewing. But to me, the glossy picture makes the colors more vibrant for some reason.

One of the negatives I have is with the remote control. It feels like I have to really press the buttons in for input. I also have to say that I did notice minimal lag when using the smooth motion flow. No matter how much dejudder or blurr I set, smooth or standard, on running score/info messages like on ESPN it gave me a bit of lag. Setting to off takes care of the lag at keast. There is also a tiny bit of lag between inputs when gaming. I was playing Call of Duty and felt like I had to work a bit more with the controls for some reason. Nothing too bad, but you can notice it a bit. I hear Game mode will help with it, but did not see much of a difference with the exception of the colors looking a bit more vibrant and darker.

Aside from those small cons, I will be keeping this one. I will update in a few more weeks and try to add on stuff I missed.
