What current owners of HL67A750 have to say about their Samsung 67" LED Powered DLP HDTV
This is the 2nd Samsung DLP that I have owned. The first being a Samsung 56" 5650, it still worked great when upgrading to this model, I just really wanted the new features such as the LED projection and admittedly the extra size (insert joke here). I did the research into the plasma and LCD units and just couldn't rationalize why I would spend comparable money for a 42" TV. Along with this price difference, the plasmas and LCDs, in my opinion, just don't handle the non-HD programming nearly as well as DLP units, too pixilated. As for the HD picture, it's amazing... I would gladly put it up against a plasma or LCD.If you are thinking that this TV might be too big for your room, it's likely not! The viewing distance that I typically have on this TV is around 7-8' away and it's perfect. At this distance it is comparable to the ratio you are experiencing in a good seat at the theater. You can adjust the display to the brightness level of your preference, but just in general I have found the DLP to be a softer more eye friendly image than the LCD or Plasma and comparable to what you experience in a modern theater.
For the gamers, this set is the bomb! If you have found yourself changing the brightness level just to be able to see the details in darker games like Gears of War and then switching to watching TV to have a whitewash... there is a quick select button on the remote control that goes to `Game' mode that trasitions the picture to a mode that allows you see stuff the way that the games designers intended them to be seen.
I will leave you with this thought... You are just sitting down in your favorite chair, the unbelievable smell of the extra buttered popcorn that your friends and family are passing around dominates the air ... then all of a sudden the intro scene of Star Wars Episode 4 starts rolling across this 67" badboy while the theme song belts out of a well bassed sound system....... Yeah, it's worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best on the market right now., October 16, 2008 By HCC3 (Fort Huachuca, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews First and foremost, size isn't everything. But it's certainly nice to have! When I began researching TVs to replace my 9 year-old Toshiba 36" CRT, I was only looking in the 46-52" range. I'm in the military and move every couple years, so I needed something that I could move safely and that would work in any reasonable environment. This eliminated plasmas, which reputedly do not perform well at higher altitudes. Next I looked at LEDs. The black levels are getting better, although it seems B&W stores continue to carry models 2-3 generations back for the same price you can order the newest models online. But then you run in to the dead pixel issue and the insecurity that comes along with an LED, and the hassle if you have a dead pixel out of the box and you purchased online. Nevertheless, I continued to look at LEDs until going out to a B&M store to actually look at TVs. I knew ahead of time that stores don't calibrate TVs on display and you can't judge picture quality based on what you see in the store, but I did want to get a better sense of the layout, saturation, issues with any uneven lighting of the screen, and so forth. On my way to the back wall with LEDs I walked through an aisle of DLP sets - a couple Sammies and a Mitsubishi. They looked nice, and they were larger than life. Black levels were solid, even when uncalibrated. So I went home and started researching DLPs to compare to the Sony and Samsung LEDs I had previously narrowed my search to. Lo and behold, the Samsung 6xA750 TVs were getting the most favorable reviews by videophiles. They didn't like the sound from the TV's speakers (and for good reason - it sounds like a tin can) but as a monitor everyone seemed to love the LED-based 750 series. I also read briefly about last year's 650 series, but didn't want to bother with bulb-based technology, so I was left with the 61" or 67" version of the A750 series. It seemed more people had QC issues with the 61" than the 67" for some reason, so I decided to bite the bullet and buy the 67", which is so much larger than I originally contemplated that I can only imagine what my wife is thinking about me right now. However, the 67A750 is cheaper than any of the newer-model 52" LED flatscreens I was considering, still weighs less than my old 36" CRT, and the picture is incredible. On blu-ray discs the picture is breathtaking. I haven't seen HD cable or satellite on it (I'm with DirecTV and they provide absolutely NO incentive to upgrade, wanting an arm and a leg to do so) but others with similar observations to mine on other aspects of this TV claim it's the best picture they've ever seen. Those are certainly my sentiments with blu-ray. When I set up my 5.1 home theater it felt like I was *in* the movie, not just watching it. I'm afraid to watch a horror movie on this thing - I might poop myself. Have I mentioned the picture is incredible?
Even on SD sources, the TV looks great. It upscales to 1080p, and does a better job of it, in fact, than my Denon receiver, through which all sources run. You will still see some fuzziness around edges if you look closely, for nothing I've found can upscale a SD source perfectly, and you'll see some splotches on a completely black screen, but the picture on this TV even with SD sources is more than acceptable. Perhaps the fuzziness would be even more difficult to see on a smaller TV of equal capability (the 61A750) but what you gain with the extra size when using HD sources outweighs the advantage the 61" might have with SD sources by virtue of its size.
I did hundreds of hours of homework over 4 months before buying a TV. I was confident I had made the right choice when I ordered this from Amazon, and am certain of it now that the TV has arrived.
One final note, which is about shipping: my experience was as follows. Ordered TV at 1pm central time friday. Amazon package tracker originally said TV would not ship until Tuesday. This is because CEVA tries to get a full truck before pulling out of amazon warehouse. TV actually shipped same day, and arrived in Kansas City at 9am Sunday morning. Monday was Columbus Day. TV was delivered to my house in perfect condition at 9am Tuesday. Five stars for Amazon and CEVA as well as the TV!
Make sure you read the reviews on the optional extended warranty here on amazon before you buy it.
Summary: The only drawback of this TV is the quality of the sound it outputs. The picture is flawless. Amazon and CEVA did a great job getting the TV to me, which along with outstanding price makes Amazon one of the best sources for this TV.
Excellent Product, Great Price, Minor Issues, July 26, 2008 By Mark A. Adams (Los Angeles, CA United States)I bought the Samsung HL67A750 on sale from a local Fry's. The unit was delivered in 4 days for a small fee that included carrying the unit upstairs.
I have owned front projectors for 25+ years (starting with the Kloss Novabeam Model One and continuing to my previous Sony VPL-HS20). The Samsung HL67A750 is easily the best unit I have bought for watching TV (and doing a little big screen gaming) and yet was the least expensive TV/Monitor I have bought since my first projector. The visual quality was excellent out of the box with very little fiddling needed.
The negatives I found on this unit were minor, but worth mentioning. The sound is weak at best, but was unimportant as I have a 7.1 external sound system. The only moderately annoying issue I found was that the projector is apparently a significant source of flickering IR. This caused my RX-V3800 to think it is receiving an intermittent mute command from a non-existent remote. While this is annoying, it was reduced considerably by changing the placement of the RX-V3800. While the mute still occurs occasionally (primarily when a person stands in front of the TV and reflects back the IR to the receiver) it is now acceptable.
In conclusion: The Samsung HL67A750 is an excellent product with only minor issues
5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome TV, December 30, 2008 By K. Marion (Tampa Fl)
Don't waste your money on a plasma or LCD. This TV outperforms them at a lower price. I have a friend that wants to trade their plasma TV for mine and he paid over double. Sorry no deal.
5.0 out of 5 stars Just Great!, December 30, 2008 By River Rat "River rat" (New Orleans, La.) -
I ordered and received my Samsung 67" TV, and it surpassed my expectations. The picture was clean, bright, and gorgeous. Besides the colors, the tones were superb. Persepolis is an animated film on Iran, done in black and white. The blacks were rich and deep.
It weighs half what my old 53" projection set cost, and it cuts a very impressive figure in the living room.
My only minor item is that to change sources, I have to select them from a list. Its not a big deal, because the set has so many inputs that the remote control would be too crowded to use. I'm still working thru all the controls, but nothing negative to report. Regular SDTV looked fine. Amazon service was great. The only thing the TV lacked was popcorn.
5.0 out of 5 stars Eye Candy, December 29, 2008 By Audio Kinda Guy (Fairfield, Ca. United States)
I wanted maximum bang for my TV buck, and DLP is just the technology for that.. but what of the dumb LIGHT BULB and COLOR WHEEL like out of a '60s aluminum Christmas Tree? No way, until this set appeared with its high intensity 60,000 hour LED light source and the decision made itself. Click.. Shipped! Had it for months now and it never stops amazing me and friends with stunning colors and shocking detail. Yes, the sound quality can't begin to compare with the sound from my former enormous Mitsu projection TV with its 400# of particle board to give it depth and tone, but pretend it has no speaker and use the surround for everything. Highly Recommended!

By Abbass Sekhavat
The Tv is great, the picture is wonderful. The only problem?? has been a burning plastic type of odor which was quite strong at the beginning, and as time goes by, has gradually decreased over the last couple of weeks, although still there, but mild. I called Sumsong support. I was told that it is NOT NORMAL. They scheduled a check up. The tech who checked the TV said it was OK'. I still wonder, who is right the support who told me it was not normal, or the tech who says it is OK'???
5.0 out of 5 stars Best buy for the money....by far.., December 24, 2008 By D. Cochran "dcthirteen" (Central Point, OR)
I have had this TV for about a month now, and I have to say that it is amazing. The HD channels look great, but the blu-ray....WOW!! It it easily comparable to any plasma or LCD TV, if not better due to it size. If you are looking for a huge TV with all the necessities, like 1080p...120HZ...multiple ports...this is your best bet.
5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best TV experience yet!, December 21, 2008 By R. Chase "Austin Soundz" (Austin, TX United States)
I can't say enough about the quality and flexibility of this set.
Pros:
- It's big! Really big!!! Sports on this set is like sitting court side or first row/50 yard line. It's amazing.
- The price! The amount of square inch screen per dollar blows away LCD and Plasma. Personally, I think the picture is as good, if not better.
- Color depth is amazing, especially the blacks. HD DVD and Blu-ray color strength will blow your mind!
- The picture quality is outstanding, from just about any angle.
- Number of connection options is terrific
- 1920x1080 computer hook-up is too unreal to believe and pushing HD streams through a laptop is a great option
- No blur, no burn-in capability, and only 85 lbs.
Cons:
- If I have to mention the worst feature, I'd say the speakers. But with a set like this you'll be watching more blu-ray and digital HD television through your receiver anyway.
- The Flash pic/mp3 interface is a bit cumbersome. I would have designed it to be a bit more automated, with less fine grain selectivity. As it stands I really don't like using it.
Areas not explored:
- 3D experience. The eye-glasses are still a bit pricey.
Summary:
This Samsung brings the best TV viewing experience I've ever had. The beautiful clarity of sports (College and Pro-football), coupled with the amazing colors and depth brought by HD & Blu-ray movies will blow your mind. Compare the features and the price point, per square inch of screen, to any Plasma or LCD and you will find this TV brings the MOST bang for the buck.
5.0 out of 5 stars BEst Television Decision I ever made, December 20, 2008 By Louis Markoya (Sandy Hook, CT USA)After waiting and waiting for the Mitsubishi LaserVue, I was totally disappointed to find it would be $7000. My last 2 projection TV's have been Mits and I enjoyed them...the second was much better than the first and I was going to stick with the company....then came the 4 months of research I put into getting this set......started with considering only LCD's and Plasma but the prices were astronomical once you got to 60 inches and above....my last set was a 55" and going to HD and the letterbox format I just wanted something a little more. I went out and looked at every set I could....and found a local srore with the Samsung LED sandwiched between two large plasmas........after fiddlig with the controls just a bit, I was convinced the picture was just as sharp, and colorful. In fact the only advantage the plasma's and LCD's had were with illumination at extreme vieing angles. My set is kitty cornered so that can never be a problem. Another thing that worried me is that the set has a soft finsish, not the glass like one found on many plasma's and LCD's. Turns out this was a blessing. My set is in a room which has 4 large sliding glass doors which have reflected insanely n the last sets causing all kinds of image problems and the new Samsung does not reflect at ALL!! The picture and controls are AMAZING.....67 inches seems enormous and it is, but it is ohhh so beautiful. TO get a set with this quality and resolution....I can not compliment it enough. Put aside any hesitation and for under $2000 enjoy the TV of your dreams
