The biggest hype around LCD TV technology from 2008-2009 was the 120Hz refresh rate. This eliminated the motion blur that some people were able to see with older 60Hz technologies. While 120Hz seemed to do the job just fine, a lot of manufacturers started to lure buyers with the promise of their TVs now having 240Hz refresh rates. This LN52B750 is a prime example of a new TV with the 240Hz technology. Is 240Hz worth it? Well, after some extensive research into the issue I turned up a mixed bag of opinions. Most people say no, even some big-name home theatre sites still say that a good 120Hz technology is more than good enough. Others debate this and say that they can still see lingering problems when watching movies on 120Hz and that 240Hz is a must. I guess this all comes down to the quality of TV you buy and the technology that the manufacturer is using to drive it.

Samsung refers to the panel in this TV as their "ultra clear panel". It's said that this panel absorbs light and eliminates viewing reflections for a better viewing experience. I do agree with them on this one because I tested the TV in a room that gets alot of sun during the day and I had no complaints about reflections from the panel.

The two 10W speakers in the LN52B750 are what you'd come to expect from any stock TV speakers; they put out sound loud enough to fill a room at a comfortable level but they aren't anything to write home about. Considering most people will run some sort of home theatre system with a TV in this price range, I don't see the internal speakers as very much to worry about.

Samsung remotes haven't really changed much over the past couple of years - just a few visual tweaks here and there. The remote included with the LN52B750 follows this same design, only the back portion has been hollowed out behind where the battery case is.

Installation:
Setting up the LN52B750 is a two-man job because the stand does not come pre-installed. By doing this, Samsung has been able to make the box half as thick as their old boxes used to be when they were pre-installing their bases. When the TV is set on the base (that's the two-man part), you simple fasten two screws to hold it there. If you're mounting the TV on a wall then Samsung includes a plastic cover to bolt over the hole where the base would slide into the TV.
