[quote name='von551']MrDubbs, you do not want that 750, instead you'd be happier with the LN46A650. why you ask? well, the 750 doesn't come with a swivel stand which boggles my mind because the 650 does and I love my swivel stand (Samsung LN-T4069FX). Even though the 750 has a built in "subwoofer" and you'd think the sound would be better than the 650's, Consumer Reports rated the 650's sound quality one grade higher than the 750's.
Now if that doesn't convince you to get the 650 instead, maybe a flaw in the design will. Alot of complaints about the "halo" effect on the 7 series samsung's has been brought to samsung and they say it's part of the design. what is the "halo" effect? it's a gap between the screen and edge of frame where you can see the light emitting from the tv read review
HERE (see pic). only the 7 series tv's suffer this flaw, so for $1519, I'd say get the 650 series on amazon (it's where i bought my Samsung) and be happier saving some dough and getting a better tv. Honestly, it's the best LCD on the market, besides 9 series probably, but it's amazing how far they've come...
oh, and don't use the "game mode" it lowers contrast and doesn't work. just make sure your AMP is turned to OFF for gaming so you don't get TBE (blurring).

of course game mode works
what kind of tests did you run to say that it doesn't work?
The settings for game mode definitely aren't ideal, but if you notice input lag, it'll get rid of it.
Secondly, aside from the fact that many people like the halo effect, Samsung does NOT say that it's part of the design.

They give you a link to fill out for service if your TV has halo.
OP, You should listen for yourself to the sound systems. I don't know how old the Consumer Reports review was, but a very old firmware had a problem with the equalizers not working properly. That problem was fixed months ago.
That said, the picture quality of the 650 and 750 are pretty much the same, so if you can save some money getting the 650, there's not much reason not to.
