"The Best of the Best"
Pros: Solid Picture and Excellent 120Hz Feature
Cons: Speakers are Hallow
Summary: After researching and viewing content on several LCDs from numerous manufacturers, I cut it down to the Samsung 71 series LCD until the LN52A750 came out and beat it (if someone is going to beat your product, best that it?s you). The 71 series is excellent but the new 7 series just about perfects the 120Hz technology feature, and so I bought this bad boy right away. There?s a lot said about this feature, including on CNET, as to whether it is good or bad. It?s really as simple as this? 120Hz adds a new element to TVs, almost giving life-like depth perception to 1080i or better video content. 120Hz has even been described by some as the ?new? 1080p, and it really does add that much quality to video. Some argue things like it robs you of ?director?s intent? in certain movies, shows, etc. But it?s as simple as ? so what, if you don?t want to use it, turn it off when you want and use it for content where it is ideal, like sports, gaming and some movies, etc. The 7 series truly does the best job at 120Hz of ANY LCD on the market today, and I can?t see it getting much better (next step would be to actually do 3D HDTVs). Some also have criticized a red border around the TV but, it is hardly even noticeable. In fact, everyone who?s seen the TV in my house hasn?t even noticed it ? until I told them it was there and then they still didn?t care that it was there. The picture quality is superior overall. This is an excellent TV. The only gripe I have about it so far is the sound. The speakers are in the back and so the sound comes across a bit hallow, despite my repeated attempts to compensate for it by trying to customize the equalizer. Still, this is just minor to me since, if I really want to hear good sound, I?d turn on 5.1 audio. This is the best LCD HDTV available, and the fact I got it brand new for $2,600 at a local large retailer made it even sweeter.
