Samsung LN52A750R 52-inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV with Touch of Color
If you're comparison shopping the top LCD HDTV models from leading makers like Samsung, Sony, Sharp and the others, then you've certainly come across the new Series 7 model from Samsung, the LN52A750R
.
This 52" television packs all of Samsung's latest LCD technologies into an attractive package that integrates the company's latest design aesthetic, the "Touch of Color" tinted, opaque frame designed to enhance the decor of your room. But is this addition worth it? The color is simply a matter of taste, but the new features Samsung has loaded into the LN52A750R make a compelling case.
The upgrades vs. Samsung's LCD televisions from 2007 are impressive to say the least. The Samsung series 7 sets (including the LN52A750R) now boast a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (compared to just 25,000:1 in 2007), plus the pixel response time is halved, from 8m to 4ms. These improvements will surely help produce a smoother, crisper picture than the older Samsung models.
The LN52A750R, along with the other Samsung Series 6 and 7 sets, also feature several new features that their 2007 predecessors lacked: the innovative InfoLink service is now accessible through the LN52A750R's built-in Ethernet connection, the set is pre-programmed with special sports and gaming modes for ideal video settings, and Home Digital Media compatibility for interacting with downloaded Internet files.
Samsung has increased the number of HDMI 1.3 inputs on the LN52A750R and other Series 6 and 7 TVs vs. last year's sets from 3 last year to 4 on the new models. Plus, Samsung added a USB 2.0 connection to allow you to import photos (JPGs) and movies (MPGs) for quick and easy viewing.
But the feature you might most easily notice on the LN52A750R before you even turn it on is the "Touch of Color" bezel. The addition of this colored frame is one you can't really judge until you see it, since you'll need to determine whether it is right for the decor of your viewing room. To us, it's a nice touch, but it's simply a matter of taste.
But that's just how the LN52A750R stacks up vs. last year's Samsung models, while it's probably more useful for you to know how the Series 6 and 7 differ from Samsung's Series 5 and other models from its 2008 line-up.
The model LN52A750R includes 1 gigabyte of internal flash memory, a woofer speaker for enhanced audio, and DLNA compatibility with computers and other mobile devices.
In summary, the LN52A750R is worthy of your consideration as it seems to justify its price tag as a cutting-edge new LCD. Still you should first educate yourself beyond this simple features review... find out what buyers of the set have to say about it in their user reviews at Amazon.com.
