Samsung LN52A750 Reviews

Summary of review published by PC Magazine — September, 2008


The LN52A750 is a 52-inch LCD HDTV from Samsung. It has a black-bezel design, and a thin strip of dark red-amber color is embedded along its transparent outer edge. The included remote control features rounded edges for a more comfortable grip and enlarged buttons. At the lower right-hand corner of the chassis are the audio and video ports that include three HDMI ports, two component video inputs, and a VGA port. The 52-inch screen displays full 1080p resolution and features a clear surface filter, which Samsung claims improves contrast and color fidelity by deepening video black. While overscan is a major problem with many HDTVs, the reviewer noted that the LN52A750 provides a picture-sizing control that eliminates overscan with 1080i/p video. The TV's 120-Hz display technology produced less picture corruption with complex scenes. Testing for contrast ratio, the LN52A750 achieved an impressive score of 3725:1 due to its dark black level of 0.03 cd/m2. The reviewer also noted that the set's video processor also excels with HD video, keeping unwanted artifacts such as banding and jagged edges from tainting the picture. Despite the set’s clear screen surface filter being susceptible to harsh light reflections, the reviewer stated that it helps create extremely dark black levels and excellent contrast performance, making the Samsung LN52A750 a strong contender in the LCD HDTV arena.
