Features:
Spinning it around to the back and you'll see quite a plethora of the standard connections (pictured below). In addition to the regular AV connections, you'll also note the USB and Ethernet connections. The USB is used for interfacing with USB devices, like memory sticks, to display music, digital photos and movies (with some conditions). If you have Samsung's wireless USB stick then you can also use this in place of the ethernet port. The ethernet allows the use of the TV's Medi@2.0 features - I'll discuss this feature more in a bit. If you check out the picture below you can get a better idea of the input/output placement. The power connection is on the opposite side as the input area.
Samsung's 'Internet@TV' seen on some of their newer TVs, including this one, reminded me of a lightened up Boxee. It allows you to not only display various internet widgets on your screen (like weather, stocks, etc), but also gives you direct connectivity to Youtube, Flicker, Twitter, just to name a few. Samsung has a portion of their website dedicated to this feature where they also mention many updates that are due out in coming months such as on-demand Blockbuster rentals! Updates are handled via USB memory stick or by having direct internet connectivity to the TV through the ethernet port. You can find Samsung's webpage on this feature here. The LN52B750 is DLNA certified so you can easily stream and control audio and video files from you computer to the TV via your remote control. The interface used for local and network playback is quite intuitive, and pictured below for you to see. In this menu you can easily select where you're media is playing back from (ie. USB, TV's built in memory, etc). Don't worry about the fact a lot of your video collection is probably DivX - the LN52B750 does have DivX support once registered through a VOD key in the menu.
If the Internet@TV and DLNA isn't enough for you, Samsung also has their Content Library in this TV as well. We also saw this in the previously reviewed LN55A950. The Content Library provides you with several key content areas; photo slideshows of beautiful art, some cooking guides, games, a children's section and fitness exercises. I found this version of the content library didn't have quite the amount of content as in the LN55A950, but it still had sufficient content regardless.
