Excellent picture and contrast

By K Sed (TX, USA)

I was deciding between this and the LN52A750. The main advantage of the latter is the DLNA that it provides, otherwise they are very similar (not sure about DNIe Pro). Sony was out right away because of price and DLNA is provided via PS3 so not missing much.

I watched my first bluray movie on this TV and the combination of bluray and the TV was just unbelievable. For the first little while, the picture is so clear that it does not feel like you are watching a movie...I cannot describe it, but it was so good it did not feel right. takes some getting used to. bluray is via PS3 and boy what a difference between an HDMI hookup vs not. IMHO, PS3 is still the best bluray player out there (beware of bluetooth only remote for PS3 if you love your universal remote) + gaming and DLNA which is missing from this TV, so you get it all.


The goods:
- 120 hz motion (a must)
- 1080p (another must)
- Excellent picture quality
- Excellent contrast
- Nice set of features.
- Love Info Link.
- Great set of inputs
- Firmware upgradable.
- Less red visible on frame than LN52A750 (personal taste)

The Bad:
- No direct input selection (this is very important for universal remotes and macros)
- Keys on side of TV are not lit, so they are hard to see.
- The screen is more reflective than it should be (not a big problem so far).
