"C Net's Scores Can / Will Confuse People ."
Pros: Better Than All But 2 LCD TV's So Far
Cons: Not As Good As the LED Based Samsung LN-xxA950 Models & Not As Good As the LED Based Sony KDL-xxXBR8 Models.
Summary: C Net says right in this review that the LN-xxB750 series of LCD TV's are not as good ( performance - wise ) as the LED based Samsung LN-xxA950 models & not as good as the LED based Sony KDL-xxXBR8 models but,by some crazy logic,they gave all 3 of the above mentioned TV's the same performance score and the same overall score. That just doesn't make any sense.
They should either lower the score of this Samsung LN-xxB750 to at least 7.9 AND / OR they should raise the scores of the Samsung LN-xxA950 series,the Sony KDL-xxXBR8 series,and the Panasonic G10 series to at least 8.1 .
That would make it better for people trying to determine what are the best performing TV's. I apologize for " reviewing the review " ( or more accurately the scores ) but,something had to be said there just based on what their conclusions have been on this site which are most often,if not always based on side to side,head to head tests.
Updated on May 14, 20091) After performing head to head tests, C Net determined that these Samsung LN-xxB750 tv's actually have better performance than the edge-lit LED Samsungs such as the B7100 series.
2) They also determined after side by side tests that these Samsung LN-xxB750 tv's have worse performance than top tier plasmas under most conditions,and additionally it was determined that the LN-xxB750 sets have worse performance than the local dimming LED based Samsung LN-xxA950 series & it ( the LN-xxB750 ) had worse performace than the local dimming LED based Sony KDL-xxXBR8 series.
3) Not all XBR Sony's are the same. There are different lines with different levels of performance. As an example,the XBR6's are worse than the XBR7's and especially worse than the XBR8's.
Updated on May 14, 2009That " update " was supposed to be a reply to another review. I don't know how that happened. It must have been a glitch in the system.

Well, I'm still a little unsure. I an ready to buy a new TV and am trying to decide between the sony46 xbr8 and the samsung ln46 b750. Which is better, regardless of price? The sony failed the 1080i film resolution test. What does this mean?

Not only is cost a factor but the most important difference is that this samsung apple is being compared to oranges by this review
-
Perhaps the cost of the TV can lower or raise the review score?
-
very good point. cnet's review was really confusing.
-
That reply ( which somehow turned into an update ) was supposed to be in regard to a different review.

I agree with you too Winchester. It doesn't makes sense that all of these HDTVs can have the same performance score of 8.0 but clearly they are not equal in picture quality. I think Mr. Katz needs to update his rating system to a more presice numbering system
