Honestly, I'd like to add the 550 to this mix.Amazon has a page that list what each series adds, but it is very far from clear:Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color (2008 Model)Anyone find a better link that clearly states what the 650 and 750 add?

I think the only difference between the 2 are the preprogrammed games, recipes, etc. on the 750. And the touch of color which borders all sides on the 750 but only the top and bottom of the 650.

I and other members of avsforum.com have found a significant difference that isn't listed between the 650 and 750. Then 750 has the ability to play 2 HD channels at the same time using your PIP function, the 650 can't. The way to achieve this is if you have cable split the incoming wire before it gets to the box, run 1 wire to the tv hooking up with coaxil cable then run the other wire to your cable box and hook the cable box up using your hdmi/component cables. scan the channels in that are connected through the coax cable. You can also achieve 2 hd pictures by hookinh up an over the air ant. and scanning the channels in. Works great, too bad the 650 can't do it.Mosh~~ I and other members of avsforum.com have found a significant difference that isn't listed between the 650 and 750.

No the 650s frame is different. The Halo is not a problem, some even think it's a bonus (I Like it actually). You can remedy the halo with bias lighting that gets rid of it and improves your blacks. Don't let the talk of a Halo help to make a bad decision. The 650 is the same as the 750 except for the fact the 750 can do HD PIP and the 650 can't. The 750 plays video through it's usb drive or streamed using a bridge and a dlna client.Good luck

According to the manufacturer's website the 750 has a built-in subwoofer whereas the 650 does not. This seems to be the biggest difference. Has anyone listened to both? Any thoughts?
785277
I did... One page states that the 650 has the DLNA, where another says you have to buy the 750 to get it.You know, I was kind of debating between the 650 and 750, but then I realized with my plans to hook a mac mini to it, I would really have no use for the 750 features.

The 750 has the ability to also play certain formats of video wheras the 650 doesn't, via wired lan.

Do not hesitate to buy from Amazon, and do not hesitate buying the 750 if it is in your reach. Amazon is great and 750 Samsung is the absolute berries. I don't think there could be a better marriage of electronics and seller.D.King

Hey T. McAnaney,Yes, when I compared specs, I too looked and said, why should I pay more for an item that has the same specs? What is so different about this new model. I even went to web sites that had incorrect information on the specs of the TH-42PX600U, and the TH-42PX75U had the specs of the TH-42PX600U. So I ended up buying the TH-42PX600U. Even from what I heard that the 75U is supposed to have 1080p, versus the 1080i, I did not believe it would be worth the additional cost.

Hmm,, I looked at both. I liked the 630 more. I was able to keep the price within $99 of the 530 when I got mine at Circuit City. It was just prior to them announcing they were shutting down. I think they were willing to deal on certain items. They matched the Amazon price in December and I was very happy with the deal. Although I always forget Amazon has the edge after taxes, but I got it the day I looked at it so to me it was worth the extra $. The 120HZ is a constant on the LN52A630. It's not to be confused with the Auto Motion Plus feature. The AMP is great for sports and documentary type programs or anything in a live format like news and such. For movies I'd turn it off. Both were nice sets, but for NOT much more $$ at the time I bought, I'd say the 630 was the better value.

I have the 750. I bought it since it was only a few bucks more. Yeah, the extras are pretty weak, but the pics and artwork are pretty cool. I can't remember what the 650 looked like in comparison, but I like the way the 750 looks as far as the bezel.The main thing I'm very happy about is the sound system. I have a 5.1 system, but sometimes I don't want to mess with it. It needs to be upgraded, but it's not a priority for me. The sound on the TV is great. Very clear and all the volume you want. It goes up to 100 on it's scale I think, but at 20, I'm maxed out.If they're within $40-$50, get the 750. If it's more, opt for the 650. I have the 750.

I'm going to buy one in about 15 minutes myself. I've seen prices around $340-$350 elsewhere online, but Amazon seems to have the best deal at this time.So, good luck with yours. I hope I dont' get any of the buzzing (seems due to PS3, etc) or heat issues.This unit seems to be the sweet spot for us mid-range users with high expectations. This is my wife's Christmas present for me :=)Tony

I am certainly no TV guru but, I had purchased the LN40A550 & returned it & bought the LN40A650 & could not be happier! We noticed immediately that the picture looked faded on the 550 & went to one of the local retailers & found that this is a common complaint on these units. They actually had a LN40A550 & LN40A650 side by side in the store & there is a huge difference. We are very impressed with the picture quality regardless of what we are watching. We have had many friends commenting on the awesome picture on this TV. Hope this helps. Les

I personally went with an 850W gold certified Corsair PSU but I am running 2 760s in SLI. I wouldn't go any less than 750W bronze because I have quite a bit of hardware inside. A 650 bronze would work just fine if it's a single DVD\Blu-Ray and hard drive type system though.

I thought the N-740 was not worth it unless you were a gamer, since the it would not kick in for most other activity such as general surfing, etc. However, the 1080p screen upgrade is worth it and the intel card works well with 1080p in my opinion. You can disable the intel card to use the nvidia card but when you do that funny things happen, such as losing control of the brightness level for everything except gaming. So if your not a gamer, it appears to be a total wast to upgrade the video card unless you enjoy full brightness of the 740 card. At night, it was almost like looking at a flashlight it was so bright!

As far as I know it's only a visual difference. I have the E751, and it sounds the same as the other. I would have preferred the E-750 as I like the wood finish better, but not at that price difference.

J. Greer, which Best Buy did you get your TV from? The ones that I have visited in MI are not even carrying any 950s, I am not sure why. Also, did any of you compare the picture quality of the 950 with the 850? Is there a big improvement? Not sure which one I want to get, I realize one is LED and one is not but the A850 has a great deal on it while the 950 is on the expensive side for me. If there is a big difference I am willing to spend extra on the 950. Thanks!

Both of these have similar TDP's and they use the same amount of volts, and this one uses the Richland vs the trinity architexture, but both are FM2. I think it comes down to preference. If you get this, you should have enough cores and clock speed to process games and whatever for 2-5 years, and if you're into upgrading in a year or so, the 750k will be awesome!

I researched both units. The biggest difference is in the speakers. The Right/Left on the 7200 are the tall-boy units (3 piece instead of 2 piece speakers). On paper they actually perform poorer (lower rated range), but I bet in person reviewers say they are better (especially on mids). Also, the surround speakers are 2-way speakers instead of 1-way.Also, it will upscale video signals to HD(your RCA VHS player, DVD player or game console). Overall, I did not care about the upscaling and the slightly better speakers were not enough of a selling point for the 7200. If you are serious about speakers, you can always upgrade the speakers later on to ones even better than the 7200. I researched both units. The biggest difference is in the speakers.

My big issue is all the negative discussion on the 750 "Halo" - light leak around the edges.Is this gone on the 850/860? The 850 is slightly cheaper at AZ, only because shippingis free. If the 750 really is a fine tv and the halo is all over statement, then thebetter sound actually helps me. Appreciate suggestions.

750 has an additional woofer speaker for better bass, a solid state flash drive with some preloaded content - consisting of "exercise, children edutainment, cooking recipes, image gallery & games", and it is DLNA certified.Physically, the 750 is rectangular, note the curve of 650 at the bottom. The "Touch of Color" red bezel is on all four sides, not just the top and bottom. Also the clear part of the bevel is slightly thicker around the edge.Edit: Also forgot that the stand base on the 750 is rectangular, versus the oval of the 650.

I am looking at these two tvs as well, and the 650 apparently has a swivel stand, while the 750 does not. I need the swivel, so not I'm hesitating. Might just go for the b750 with the 240hz refresh rate instead.
