The Samsung 750 series, also known as the 7 series is the highest end offering of Samsung's 2008 LCD televisions. They are positioned above the 650 series, which are also considered part of the high-end sets, with many similarities between the two. As expected from a high-end 2008 plasma the 750 series features a native resolution of 1080p, a 120Hz mode. Alongside these standards is the addition of an ethernet port for accessing real-time content like weather, stocks and news, and a USB port for accessing pictures and video from connected storage devices. While the 6 series has a USB port, the 6 series is limited to images/sound while the 7 series televisions can display video on both the USB port and through the ethernet port.

750 series specific features

Samsung 7 Series codec support

USB Port - The USB port lets you connect storage devices such as portable hard drives, or thumb drives and access the content within. Details aren't currently available but most like the TV can read content stores on devices that act as a USB Mass Storage (UMS) device.

1GB of Internal Memory - It's unknown whether or not you will be able to overwrite the content stored on this internal memory. Samsung reports that it will come preloaded with "premium" content such as HD art, recipes and children's stories.

"Touch of Color" - in a break away from the traditional black or really black choices that most televisions offer Samsung is introducing a little bit of color to these sets. During the manufacturing process the bevel has some color applied to it, with auburn being the initial option and more colors expected over time.

750 and 650 features

Ethernet port - the included ethernet port will allow you to access RSS feeds and other real time content to display sports information, news, stocks and weather. It's currently unknown whether other forms of content such as full Internet access will be available in the future.

I have witnessed this set in a local brick and mortar store, and just want to say that it really does blow everything else on the wall display into oblivion. Was originally looking at an XBR4 or a Z4100, but this Samsung LN46A750 really does live up to being the best bang for the buck bar none. Don't buy a Sony just because it's a Sony, Samsung is the actual manufacturer for them, so if you go right to the source, you won't go wrong, imo.

Also, I don't think that we have any Z4100 Bravias to compare against the A750, so it's definitely a one-sided affair, unless we see one on a store display somewhere.  Until then, seems like this pretty much may seal the deal.
