Samsung LN46A750 vs. LN40A750...a size question Just a quesiton here...I am soon to be making a purchase and it will be one of these 2 HDTVs...here is the question:I am looking at how far back I will be sitting from the tv and am wondering which size would be better, or if it even matters...Anyone out there sit about 8 - 9 feet from their TV, and if you do sit that close, what size screen do you have, and are you glad that you made the purchase, or is the screen too big or small in your opinion?

Hi,I have the LN46A750 and sit back 7-8 feet I find this is a perfect size at that distance.it gives you a movie theater feel.

M. Robel... Thanks for the reply. Seeing the tv in the store makes me agree with you. There are just so many posts out there on the internet that say it might be too big, and then you have the ones that give you such a huge range of size to distance ratio and it makes it difficult to decide when you are spending that much money. I appreciate your reply, and am definitely going to to with the 46".

I have a total of 6 Samsung TV's. I have a 46" 7000 and a 46" 7500 that are 3 years old. 2-22" inch tvs and this summer i purchased 2 of the 50"-6400's. the 7500 primarily used for gaming (xbox360, ps4) and it is fantastic. I am extremely happy with my all of Samsung purchases. After buying the first 2 samsungs 3 years ago I have been very happy. they work well in bright sunlight and have a great picture. We rarely use the 3D feature on our Tv's but it works well. I would highly recommend samsung tvs.

I am certainly no TV guru but, I had purchased the LN40A550 & returned it & bought the LN40A650 & could not be happier! We noticed immediately that the picture looked faded on the 550 & went to one of the local retailers & found that this is a common complaint on these units. They actually had a LN40A550 & LN40A650 side by side in the store & there is a huge difference. We are very impressed with the picture quality regardless of what we are watching. We have had many friends commenting on the awesome picture on this TV. Hope this helps. Les

I don't exactly have a tape measure right next to me, but honestly the dimensions are pretty typical to any 24-25 in. Screen, but in my opinion I think you should get a more popular brand of TV. Get like sharp or something, the couple extra dollars is worth it, because the customer service isn't very good and with all the new technology coming out that connects to your TV like the Xbox one TV control and stuff, it doesn't recognize this brand. Along with like universal remotes and stuff. So just go with a better brand and trust me

I origionally bought the 40" two weeks ago for $1,059.99 from Nebraska Furnitutre Mart (NFM). I though this was an excelent price for a brand new TV of this quality and i was very impressed with the TV no complaints except i wished i had bought a larger model. Yesterday i noticed Best Buy had the 42" on sale for $999.99 and so i called up NFM and asked if i could return my 40" and get the 42". Not only did they let me exchange my model they credited my credit card to the tune of $107.00. NFM had the 42" on sale for only $959.99 which after tax gave me a savings of $107.00 and a larger set. I had played with the 40" picture settings and had arranged them to suit my viewing preference. So far i have not been able to set the 42" to my liking. And i'm hopeing i can make the correct adjustments. The TV does seem to be the correct size for my lounge and so i am very happy i made the up grade (especially as i am $107.00 better off). I do feel that the 40" had a better picture. This seems insane as it has the same technology but for some reason the 40" seemed to have a sharper picture. It may just be i can see the imperfections on the larger screen. Anyway getting back to your point, the only reason i can think for pricing this TV less than the 40" model is to reduce the stock on the 42" model. I'm guessing they sold a bunch of 40" models over Thanksgiving and felt they needed to reduce stock on the 42" model. We will probably see new technology replacing this model and so i guess its out with the old and in with the new.

The only reason I can see is that Samsung discontinued this t.v, and with the overall design is not as space efficient as any of Samsungs other dlp televisions. I have this one and also a 720p set by samsung which I bought in 10-2006. Just to let you know, Samsung also has on sale a 50" DLP 720p set for $899. I bought this one, and gave the 720p set to my parents, and to be honest with you I didnt notice a difference at all. If youre just breaking into the HD world, Id suggest getting one of the HLT models from samsung that is on sale now on amazon. You wont notice a difference, save yourself hundreds, and will less likely have problems with the set, as I and many others have with this particular model.

I'm still tempted to try with a Samsung 46 inch (LN46a650). The weight distribution comment frankly sounds bogus to me, and my choices for the corner mount challenge I have are frankly dwindling to this mount or getting a smaller set. Did you finally proceed?

I was at my local Big Box store today trying to compare the 3 mentioned TV's and the samsung is a B860 not 850, and I ruled it out because the edge of the TV (all the way around) is clear and it creates a very distracting reflection. And they now no longer carry the V10 in a 50" but have it in a 54", and offers it up to me for $1888., Out the Door!!! I think that deal is gonna be hard to beat ! Is there anything such as "to big" ?

Indeed, in line with CNET's review, I've found there is a difference when viewed from off-center. Our set is about 110" away from our couch (2 screen widths), and the vertical center of the screen is about 6" above eye level. When viewed about 5-6' laterally off-center, there is a definite difference - the image appears slightly duller. This does not get any worse the further out you go, but I've only gone another 3' laterally. I was disappointed that I could notice a difference, but to be honest, after owning the set for a month, I can't really see this difference anymore, and have absolutely no qualms about sitting 5-6' off-center. However, I can still detect a difference in the vividness of this set vs. the LN46A650 in our bedroom.

I have a 55 inch LG LED and a 42 in LG LCD, so take that with a grain of salt when comparing to the one you're asking about. My 55 in one has a tad under 4 inches from table top to bottom of viewing area (the bezel is very narrow - not as narrow as the sides and top, but still narrow). My 42 inch TV is about 5 inches from table top to bottom of viewing area. The bezel on this one is at least an inch and a half. You should be able to tell from the dimensions printed with the specs. If you're buying online, it's always a good idea to get into a brick&mortar; store to check out the actual product - or at least one close to its specifications. Hope that was of some help.

I purchased a Sony 40" 1080p 60hz & after a month returned it. Horrible picture.I purchased the 40A550 Samsung 1080p 60hz & was better but, the picture looked faded.I returned it & ordered the 40A650 through Amazon & what an incredible unit. The best picture of any TV that I have found. This is an amazing television. Absolutely has an amazing picture regardless of what you are watching. Amazon's "white glove" delivery is great, too. They make an appointment to deliver, un-box the unit & make sure there is no damage & the unit works before they leave.We are totally happy with the 40A650 Samsung.

I want to but the LN46A630 and want to ensure that I get the correct HDMI cable that will support 120 HZ, etc. So what exact product should I get? When folks reply, please give the model # so I know what to get. Thanks!

I doubt Samsung is going to come out with a 42" LCD. It would be nice because that's a great mid-size. I have a 42" Samsung plasma and the size is perfect - not too big and not too small. The 40" LCD is a little small for my tastes and a 46" would be too much. My doubts about Samsung coming out with one is based on 1) the fact that there are only a few actual manufacturers of the LCD screens themselves and 2) the most popular sized LCDs are 37", 40", and 46" respectively. LG and Sony both have 42" LCDs (available here), but they are of the lower tier screens (ie: non-120Hz, low contrast ratio, etc.). I doubt Samsung is going to come out with a 42" LCD.

I looked at both and bought the 750....for the price (and difference) you are really looking at how important a super thin TV is to you, if saving $2 a month on your energy bill makes that big of a difference, or if you are that nuts about LED, for $800 I wasn't. 200,000 to 1 as a Dynamic contrast ratio is more than enough (you can't really tell much more of a difference). If you really wanna get the LED and are willing to spend that kind of money get the 8000 (even thinner and edge lit led). Because of the models above and below it, and price differences I don't see the 7000 making much sense unless you find a unique deal that only has that set on sale.

I have a 40 inch and 50 inch. The 40 inch is too small while the 50 inch is great. I don't know how much difference there is between the 46 inch and the 50 inch but there is a huge difference between the 40 and 50 inch. If there is not too much difference in the price I would suggest the 50 inch. I am very happy with that.

I purchased the 32". It died 40 days later. I have responded before and would tell anyone to RUN and not buy the TV. If you do, then buy the warranty because trying to get it replaced by the company wasn't worth the headache. I just dumped in the trash. Biggest waste of money.
