Is the LED Samsung UE-40B 7050 a good TV?

Holy crap. It looks nice. But I can`t find a review for it at the moment.

i dont turn on game mode. it makes the game more blurry. i dont know why they have that option. its better with 120hz setting. it feels so much better with 120hz on.

Hmmmm. Interesting. And thank you for your opinion. I just wish there was more of a consensous, cause the 120hz seems to be split. I saw a lot of posters on various sites last night that swear by game-mode and hate 120hz and auto-motion. I'll guess I'll just try it on and off for different games. One more thing about auto-motion. It makes broadcast SD TV look weird. I was watching Married With Children last night and the actors looked like cut-out in front of a green-screen. Also, SDTV cartoons looked VERY smooth.

Oh and one more thing. Many peole seem to be complaining about controller input lag with 120hx on. I noticed a bit of lag, but not much.

Should have asked me. The best gaming TV availalble today is the LN52B750(hovering around 2k right now on the big river) from Sammy. It is a really nice set. 240hz, with amazing black levels for an LCD. Unless you want to go with OLED(flashlighting) or Plasma(phosphor trailing and burnin), then you can't get better picture quality, and is has SO much processing on it, that yes, SD looks better on the LNXXB750 series than I've ever seen it.

Only downside, it's glossy screen can turn off those not using it for a home theater.

Get some bias lighting and your TV will look better.

I was looking at a 240hx LG model. Funny thing: I went into Future Shop looking for that exact model you referenced. Do you find 240hz to be that much of an improvment? The C-Net review i read said it wasn't that noticable. Still after all the hassle of setting this all up myself, I may return this one and get the LN52B750. Thanks for the input.

Not a bad lcd tv, but you should get a plasma. Plasma is by far the best for gaming, excellent colors, 0,001 ms ( lcd is 2,5-5), much better image overall. No matter what people say, plasma always beat a lcd of the same range. Be carefull with the 120 hz motion - read this all page to understand the hz thing ( knightout )

Ooh, i also suggest to buy a hdmi cable from audioquest.

If it's not too much trouble...return it!

All the oceans and time itself can't accurately encompass the vast improvement the LN52B750 would be to your home theater.

Sony also makes a TV that attempts to compete with the XXB750 model, with a matte finish, and succeeds for the most part....but just go with the Sammy. It's the best. It's the most popular high end model, and it's just released. You aren't gonna go wrong, and the PQ will make you shit yourself.

Anyway, 120 and 240 are visually different. 240 has never been implimented as well as it has in the 750 series and it shows. I believe you're adding 3 frames to every existing frame with the 240, compared to 1 with the 120, and C-Net says that the difference isn't very noticable, but it IS noticable, and it opens up a lot in terms of smoothness and dejudder control.

Also, screen uniformity is a big problem with LCDs, and Cnet says straight up, that the 750 is one of the most uniform LCDs they've ever encountered. Don't have to play much of the panel lottery with this purchase.

The set is pretty futureproof as well, with the firmware updates on the regular, 240hz, and image processing that is currently unmatched. Your SD will be the major upgrade, and upscaled PS3 dvds look like 1080i dish network channels, or better. BR is godlike, and with the 52, you can tell it. Get Grand Canyon Adventure on BR, do yourself a favor.

On the B750, the options all have the little "help" hints(like when you press select in FFVII) so that you actually understand what you're adjusting, and the 240 amp actually has a "demo" mode that shows half the TV with and half without, from whatever source you are currently inputing.

It even runs my 150gb external HD, every videofile you can imagine except wmv, flat off the drive, via one of the 2 usb drives. Keep in mind, it's not even formatted in FAT32. It's nfts(or wtf ever it's called), which my PS3 won't even fucking read, but the TV reads it fine.

Shit man, I'm not kidding, I know from TVs, and the LN52B750 is pretty much the one I recommend to gamers. Right down to the backlit remote, it is not to be fucked with lightly.
