Samsung LN46A750
Previous:
IntroductionNext: Page 2
Performance: Summary
The Samsung LN46A750 is an attractive, glossy television with a reddish tinge to the glass edging around the front. Even the remote is glossy and curved.
From the front the Samsung LN46A750 is dominated by its 46 inch display. Surrounding the display is a glossy black and flat bezel. the whole front is covered in glass, which turns transperent right at the edges. Below the display is the Samsung logo and at the lower right of the bezel you see the touch sensitive on-TV controls.

The front of the Samsung LN46A750 is clean and simple.
Unlike most TVs where the back receives almost no design attention the Samsung LN46A750's black retains the clean lines and glossy black design that you see on the front. There are two speakers found on the back, at the top left and right, and you also find the main collection of ports grouped together in the lower middle of the back.

The back retains the same glossy finish as the front.
Looking at the left side of the Samsung LN46A750 you see a second set of ports for easy access.

The left side has a few ports for easy access.
There is nothing on the right side of the Samsung LN46A750. Stand/Mount
The Samsung LN46A750's stand is glossy black, just like the rest of the TV and can be removed for mounting the TV on a wall.

The stand has the same minimal design as the rest of the TV.
The on-TV controls of the Samsung LN46A750 are touch sensitive and are found embedded into the lower right of the bezel on the front of the TV. From top to bottom you get buttons for Source, Menu, Vol+, Vol-, Ch+, Ch- and Power. These controls can also be used to navigate the menu if the remote is not handy.

The on-TV controls are touch sensitive, fancy!
The Samsung LN46A750's remote has a glossy black face, to match the glossy black of the TV, and an interesting countoured design with most of the weight found near the bottom.

The remote is slightly curved at the bottom and is just as glossy as the TV.
The Samsung LN46A750 ships with a remote, including two AAA batteries, a power cord, uesr manual, cleaning cloth and a ferrite core that helps stop interference on a cable. Speaking of cables there's not a single cable included with the TV, an unfortunate omission. The Samsung's box has an interesting feature that allows you to slide the top of the box off leaving just the base. We found this did make it a bit easier to get the TV out. Aesthetics (7.0)
The Samsung LN46A750 is an attractive television, with the glass covering on the front and glossy finish. We also like the simple design with the display surrounded by a simple bezel. This won't be something you will be ashamed of having in your living room or den, and it just might cause some jealousy when you have friends over.
