Over the last year and a half, I have had nearly 10 different 50" class 1080p sets in my home for evaluation (it's a long story - too long to address here). They've been from Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, and Sharp. Without a doubt, the 750 series Samsung has been the best overall performer with both SD and HD inputs. The pictures are very accurate right out of the box if you switch over to the preset "Movie mode" and very little calibration is needed. It handles motion extremely well (120 hz refresh rate) and there is very little color contouring. Off axis viewing is amazing for an LCD and on par with most plasmas. When you add in the overall efficiency in operation (225w power consumption vs. over 700w for an equivalent sized plasma) it gets even better.

The "Touch of Color" aesthetic is nice but not a really big thing. One improvement might be to bring back the swivel base which has, for some reason, been deleted from this model. Other than that, I give this unit "10 out of 10"!
