Key Features
 | 50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio will give you a picture better than you ever thought possible, with whiter whites, blacker blacks and a nearly infinite subtlety of gradations in between. As two of the most important determining factors in overall picture quality, contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this latest generation LCD panel. Samsung’s new LCD TV’s give the most stunning realistic picture quality ever. |
Full HD 1080P
 | Full HD, or 1080p, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean more pixels, more details and a better picture. The new Samsung LCD TV with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional HDTVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable. Samsung’s 1080p panel uses a new high-speed liquid crystal to cut response time to 4ms. The fast response time, coupled with Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz motion blur reduction technology dramatically reduces motion blur and judder. |  |
Digital Natural Image Engine
 | DNIe™ The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine. This exclusive Samsung technology dramatically improves the picture by enhancing the contrast, detail, white balance and reduces. |  |
Wide Color Enhancer/Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamp
| The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp backlights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors. Samsung’s exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors – the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky. | |||

Connectivity
 | To make the Series 6 a true entertainment hub for any home, Samsung has incorporated advanced HD connectivity and networking capabilities that expand the HDTV’s functionality. A wide variety of multimedia devices can be connected to the set through any one of the four Simplay compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs (including one on the side), and the handy HDMICEC feature lets you control all your CEC-enabled peripherals using just one remote. Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish components into the 2 rear connections and use the side-mounted input for cameras, camcorders, and laptops. HDMI is the best performing interface for displaying an HD source on an HDTV. Once connected, users can easily access device menus and manage and display content through the newly redesigned Wheel Key Remote control and the HDTV’s sophisticated content management interface.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)
  | You already know something about digital living. There’s the TV and digital video recorder in your family room. (And another set in your bedroom.) You have a PC and digital printer in your office, along with a network attached storage device. And you’ve copied all your music onto your portable music player and haven’t had to open a CD case for years. But getting them to talk to each other can be pretty tough. Why is it still so difficult to send digital content from one device to another? Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a collaboration of the world’s leading consumer electronics, PC and mobile companies that has created design guidelines for a new generation of products that can work together — no matter the brand. Think for a moment about all of the photos "locked away" on your home PC that you wish you could access while entertaining your friends and family. Now, thanks to DLNA enabled devices, a DLNA-enabled PC can be accessed from the comfort of your living room or family room via a DLNA-enabled HDTV, where you can enjoy your memories with friends and family, without having to deal with the hassle and non-intuitive "PCexperience". Or, say you recently downloaded your daughter’s birthday party video from your digital camcorder to your PC. Now you want to share it with your parents who are visiting. Without DLNA, you probably have to burn a DVD of the video or hook up the camcorder to the TV. With DLNA, you can just use your TV’s remote to call up the video on your TV. That’s it. |
Super Patterned Vertical Alignment

Audio Features
TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 5.1 channels. High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the two hidden, downward-firing side-mounted 2.2-channel dome speakers built into the TV.SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass.
TruSurround XT audio also adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
- Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
- TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
- The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 | With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

 Faulty Capacitors!! Buyer Beware!! |

| Samsung LN40A750 40-Inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color
Enjoyed this television for first year. Second year, not so much! Television clicked and clicked instead of turning on. Spent $250 having three capacitors replaced. The set worked well for nine more months. Now, there are colored vertical lines moving with the brighter movements on screen. I have learned there are more than three 10v capacitors factory installed in this set that are not able to carry the power load. |
| 3 Horizontal lines/Ghosting after 13 months. |

| Bought this TV in April 14 2009. Everything was perfect. Then in May '10 after overnight being off, there are 2 horizontal boxes on top of each other in the middle of screen appearing at start-up. Two weeks of this now and the boxes disappear after about 2 minutes. The boxes are transparent and causes distinct lines on top and bottom of both boxes. If text is in the middle of the screen ghosting can be seen. Its not a connection problem because I have another Samsung monitor next to it and it doesn't occur on that tv. Conveniently for Samsung its 6 weeks out of warranty. I'll being calling them tomorrow to see what can be resolved on this. I will post results.
UPDATE June 11, 2010. Called samsung and then asked me to check if the ghosting occurs on the Menus screen. The problem didn't occur again till 4 days later, and yes it occured on the Menu screen. Called them again and they said that I am out of the 30 day "GRACE PERIOD" and I will have to pay for the fix. The operator Rachel said she couldn't do anything about this because her computer didn't allow for this and that I would have to write a letter to corporate offices in Arlington NJ. Letter sent June 11th. June 14th... Ghosting is worse and remaining on the screen longer than 10 minutes. Definitely out of control and progressively getting worse. The Tv has less than 700 hours on it. You can read about the problems by googling it. Looks like a $1000 fix?????? June 21st... Samsung corporate office called. Ok'd Warranty repair. Gave me a local repair company to call (Called same day). Samsung was polite, quick and seemed sincere. Said they would repair and extend warranty. I don't know how long the extention is. June 24th... Sterling Electronics, Inc picked up the LCD for repair. June 30th... LCD TV Delievered the tv back to my house. They said the panel was replaced. I requested a receipt to show me exactly what was fixed. Waiting on that. Seems like everything is fine. I hope this doesn't happen again in 13 months. |
| Extremely disappointed with this TV: Suggest you look at Sharp and Sony |

| I purchased this TV in October of 2008. I selected this TV over Sony models based on reviews and a price discount. I guess I learned the hard way "you get what you pay for". Aproximately 15 months after purchase, we started to notice lines across the screen. At first, these would go away with a slight tap on the back of the unit, but that soon changed.
My calls into Samsung "customer care" got politely brushed off: "Sorry, nothing we can do. You should have bought the extended warranty". I tried going up the ladder to a manager. No joy. The unit started malfunctioning three months off warranty and I get the news a little over a month later that I need a new LCD panel ($700 installed). Thanks Samsung. Next time I'll buy the Sony. |
| This TV is amazing! |

| This TV has every feature you can dream of and a ton of component inputs/outputs! The picture is so clear with a BD player that you might walk into the TV if you didn't realize you weren't actually there... It looks awesome on the wall in the living room.
The TV sound kind of sucks, but who cares? It's plenty good for a small to large room, and you really should purchase separate sound if you want to appreciate those Blurays anyway. You can purchase a cheap surround sound for less than $[...]. bucks. Amazon shipping was outstanding! I had some reserve about purchasing something like this online, but the delivery was fast and professional. Will definitely purchase my next TV from Amazon! |

| it's been 1 year since I bought this Samsung LN40a750 and have been no disappointments, colors are heads above the other cheaper sets being sold today, I keep looking at my relatives LCDs and yes they saved more on the brand of the day at the local BJ's but they are always lacking something -usually in picture quality.
It has more than enough HDMI connections for my PS3 and PC and other gear, The speakers are good for TV stereo but I route it all through my sound system through the digital out. out of curiosity I took a look to see how much it cost today and found it not far from the price I paid for it on sale a year ago - it was worth every penny then and it would be today as well |
