Summary: Size does matter!!!
Comment: 67 inches of awesomeness!!!! Best HDTV for the price out there ... period. Fantastic picture! I have a 46" Samsung LCD HDTV that's a fantastic TV, but I think the 67" DLP's picture is as good, and maybe even better than the LCD. Oh, and I paid more for the smaller LCD!
I have a PC with HDMI graphic card hooked to it, and this makes an incredible computer monitor. Visitors are blown away by it. It's great to have the whole family on the couch surfing the net together, playing games, watching YOUTUBE, watching streamed HD episodes from the networks' websites, etc. So much better than having the kids alone in their rooms on their computers.
The Amazon experience was great, and the price blew away anything in the stores (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.).

Summary: Cost Effective Blend of Old and New Technologies
Comment: At the new 11/24/3008 prices this projector is a bargain just as [...] states.
TI and Samsung have really gone all-out in this DLP design to provide the maximum fidelity possible mating the green state-of-the-art LED light source with the long-in-the-tooth xD5 DLP chip.
The 750 series is one of the few displays which scales nicely to either a completely dark or daylight lit room. The key is the scalable LED light source which offers the best power efficiency. It will not heat up the room.
With no spinning color wheel (which typically wears out), the display should be stable and reliable for many years. The cost of ownership should be zero.
My evaluation and recommendations: Use -3 gamma and CNET.com settings. (ok sports -2) . Use little or no A/C power conditioning. Use movie setting for night, standard for evening and dynamic for daytime viewing. Use only the sRGB colorspace setting, otherwise there is too much of an orange cast to in skin tones.
The chips native contrast could be better. You see a bit of a washout in mixed content bight and dark scenes. This is a limitation of the dynamic iris used in this light engine. The effect is minimized by setting the picture mode to match the rooms ambient light.
I've analyzed several of these 61" and 67" 750 displays, and all had an increasing amount of red mis-convergence as you move away from the center of the screen. Must be part of the design at this price-point?
Hope this factual information is useful in making an informed purchasing decision. Enjoy!

Summary: Big and bright
Comment: I love my new TV. It has a bright, sharp picture, and clean lines. It arrived in perfect condition, and it was easy to move and simple to set up.
Before my previous set died, I had already shopped Samsung and Mitsubishi DLP sets. I had seen specials on an earlier 72" Samsung model with more connection options and similar brightness, but it lacked the LED light system. I'm glad I bought the newer 67".
I wish it had optical audio inputs, but I understand that a dedicated AV receiver would be a better choice for sound. Sound clarity is important even with a twenty watt amplifier, but it meets my needs for a bedroom TV.

Summary: Great value and quality
Comment: Having an older Samsung DLP (46") I was happy with the quality of DLP TVs. My primary concern about ordering another DLP was the questionable repair history on all models from Consumer Reports (problems averaging about 12% for all brands of DLP). Since I didn't have any problems with my previous DLP I went and looked at a set at a local store and was less than impressed with its picture quality (it turns out the settings were bad so it looked horrible). However, I gave it another look after the uniformly stellar reviews on it's picture quality.
The ordering and delivery process from Amazon: I am very impressed. The delivery was set for 9 days from the order date, but I was watching TV on it within a week. It helps to call the delivery carrier (CEVA in my case) when you see that it's at the local wherehouse instead of waiting for them to contact you (which was in the form of a postcard). The delivery was free from Amazon and the deliveryman was friendly, brought the tv into the house and helped set it up. This is well beyond what I expected (of course he earned a nice tip for his efforts). Between that and no sales tax - I will definitely buy more electronic items from Amazon.
TV quality - I am using Comcast HD and the picture quality is outstanding. The only concern I have is the normal DLP issues and the slight degradation (lowering in brightness, quality) when looking at an angle. However when sitting in front of this the picture is clear and brings out the HD content. I watched some football games on the NFL network and it's awesome.
The TV sits in a bright room and the screen diffuses light very nicely. Our old TV (55" Mitsubishi) had a reflective surface which was annoying -This is one of the best features of DLP's when compared to Plasmas and LCDs and one that is often overlooked.
As the kids play videogames I didn't want the problem of burn-in, so that was also a knock against getting a Plasma. LCD's currently aren't in this size (and the largest size they have is way more expensive). Three days with the TV and I am impressed - it is easy to set up and use and the picture quality and size have a significant Wow factor.
Drawback: the biggest problem I have with the TV is that when using picture-in-picture that you are required to use two TV inputs, i.e., you can't have one input be a TV signal and the other be from another source (like DVD or a video game). My old TV had this feature and it was nice to be able to sit with the kids while they watch a movie or play a video game on part of the screen while I could watch them but also keep up with a football game on the other part of the screen.
Overall a high quality product and a tremendous value at the Amazon price.

Summary: Not sure yet
Comment: This is a great deal. All of the real estate for less than $2K is really quite amazing. I didn't get any white glove service that they talk about. They just dropped it at my front door but that wasn't any big deal. I have a 42" plasma in my bedroom and this TV's picture is simply not as sharp. It may be that I have not set it up right, I'm not sure about that. Analog channels are a little fuzzy. HD is pretty good although I get (can't think of the word - why they tell people not to wear stripes on TV) inaccurate images. By that I mean, for instance the grass seems to get all blurry when the guy is running down the field and the ref's stripes are just a mess - no sharp black and white at all. If anyone has any specific instructions as to where to fine tune this thing, I would really be appreciative. My review may sound a little harsh but I am really quite pleased with it just not as "joyous" as some of the other reviewers. It is certainly not as good as my plasma but none the less a very good set for a good price.
