Samsung LN52B750 LCD or UN46B8000 - Blu-ray Forum

ZMan · 07-01-2009, 08:20 PM

OK, I am in a quandry in that I can't decide which to buy.

I was about to order the Samsung LN52B750 LCD from Amazon when I saw the Samsung UN46B8000 LED. Although smaller and $300 more expensive, the UN46B8000 LED boast a contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 versus 150,000:1. There are other differences between the two but nothing extremely eyepopping but they are still there.

I would like to hear opinions from some of you as to what you think would be the best one to purchase.

I'd go with the 750 just because the screen is larger, and its not like its anything to sneeze at anyways. Or you could wait til Samsung puts out a back-lit LED display....it'd probably be better than the edge-lit one you're looking at now.

750, best bang for your buck out of the two

I just received my LN52B750 today. My wife and I are very pleased with our purchase. We briefly watched, 'Apocalypto', 'Iron Man', and 'The Prestige'. Amazing clarity from this LCD monitor.

I finally pulled the trigger on the LN52B750 last Thursday from Amazon. Got it at a great price and will arrive this week. Can't hardly wait cuz the anxiety it starting to get to me.

MJ79, are you still going to PM those calibration settings that you have?

How do you know that this is a edge-lit display? I looked all over the Samsung site and it doesn't say anything about this being edge-lit. Of course, I am by no means an expert or even claim to know a great deal about it. That is why I come here for my advice because the peoply on this site are the best!

The 6000, 7000, and 8000 series Luxia sets are all edge lit. The upcoming 9000 series will have local dimming. I have another suggestion. Skip both of those sets and get the 55" B650 instead. The picture is identical to the B750 and its cheaper and bigger. I've compared both the 6 and 7 series and I personally don't think its worth spending the extra money on the 7 series. The Luxia sets have slightly better blacks but the difference will be minimal in most viewing since the Luxia only goes completely black when there's no signal. Once the content begins to brighten in the slightest the Luxia's blacks will rise rapidly and look very similar to the B650's blacks. Its a great TV, but totally not worth the premium IMHO.

Thanx for the facts and opinions! That's why I come here when I have a question.
