Output Ports (2.0)
The LN46B750 has two sets of output ports: an analog audio out and an optical audio out.
Other Connections (3.0)
In addition to the ports mentioned above, the LN46B750 has a LAN port and an EX-LINK port. The LAN will allow you to hook an ethernet cable up to the TV. An internet connection will allow you to access internet content via widgets or play back media on a networked computer. Although the content available pales in comparison to some higher-end Sony TVs, like the KDL-46Z5100, it's still good functionality to have.
The EX-LINK port helps the LN46B750 network other EX-LINK devices for easy media playback.
Media (2.0)
Like other Samsung HDTVs, the LN46B750 has two USB ports on its left side. You connect USB flash drives to view their media content. One of the USB ports also supports USB hard drives.
Placement (8.0)
The LN46B750 has good port placement with a few minor issues. The back-facing ports are laid out well, with clear labeling. The dual-purpose component/composite video input is slightly unintuitive, however, and could've done with some more obvious labelling. The side-facing ports are easy enough to reach, but we wish they weren't indented as far as they are.
The TV swivels on its stand, which is good. Once swiveled, you should be able to easily reach the ports on the back. Given the TV's size, howver, it'll need to be set away from the wall in order to take advantage of the full swivel radius.

Samsung UN32D5500 LED LCD HDTV Review
The D5500 has a rather high MSRP of $699, considering it’s only a 32-inch TV. There are some “premiums upgrades,” a term we use with some dubiousness, knowing that these features can be far less valuable than they appear. Nevertheless, at its core this is a good television. If you can find it a significantly reduced price it would make a great addition to a home theater. Read More...
