Got Samsung LN52B750 today. I'm disappointed.

Hi there.
So today I received the LN52B750 (LCD) from Amazon. I was very exited, as that was going to replace a Panasonic S1 (plasma) that had a black level problem, which replaced a Westinghouse lvm-37w3se (LCD) before that. All of this are 1080p screens. However, the Samsung is just terrible.

To start off, the LN52B750 is EXTREMELY slow, my GOD! Simple things as scrolling menus is very sloppy, it takes like 1s to respond, so making simple adjustments take a while. Also, input lag is terrible. Using it as a monitor is impossible, as the mouse is always trying to catch up with me. Also, the delay is not constant, so sometimes is OK, then starts lagging, then normal again. Very unpredictable.

Another thing that bothers me is the whole Auto Motion Plus 240hz. Anything outside of Clear or Off is useless. First of all, the image looks very distorted. People said that they could see halos, but this are not halos, is more like if you throw water to a painting, the colors stretch out and mix into nearby objects. But the biggest problem is that the TV just can't keep up with it, so it drops frames. So yeah, it plays fine, but if a fast action scene kicks in, it looks like a slideshow, and then back to normal. The forest fight in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is almost unwatchable. So yeah, the TV keeps speeding up and down constantly.

There is other problems too, as the inability to turn off Dynamic Contrast in Movie mode despite me selecting "Off". The black level are good, but not $1,666 good, and miles behind from the S1.

So, anyone familiar with Amazon return policy? They say that if the item doesn't have an error I have to pay shipping, and most probably restocking fee too. What is amazon restocking fees and shipping prices?

Oh man, I so wish mine fails in the next day or so, lol, so I don't have to pay. I'm trying extra hard to find a defect, but everything is perfect, haha. Even the screen is good, no clouding, flashing, or wrinkles whatsoever.

I'll probably get a Panasonic G20/G25. I can deal with the few disadvantages of plasma, but not this Samsung. Heck, I'd even keep my current Westinghouse before it.
