Reviews of the Samsung PN63A760

CNET Review
The Good: Accurate primary colors; effective antireflective screen; includes a smooth dejudder mode; unbridled feature set including network streaming, built-in interactive content and news, stocks and weather feeds; broad selection of picture setup options; distinctive styling including red-tinted swivel stand.
The Bad: Reproduces relatively light black levels; less accurate grayscale, especially in dark areas; Smooth mode introduces artifacts and doesn't work with 1080p sources; most interactive content seems tacked on; streaming doesn't support third-party DLNA servers; its red color design isn't for everyone.
The Bottom Line: The Samsung PN63A760 brings a huge feature set and enormously different styling, but its picture quality fell short of the tough competition.

Review Summary: In my hands-on tests, the PN50A760 provided excellent virtual surround sound, close to what you'd experience with a dedicated speaker system. A movie soundtrack's sudden organ blast had a powerful, in-the-gut heft

Review Summary: Whereas the PN50A760's remote lacks an aspect ratio button (called P.Size on the LN46A650 remote), however, this model offers the aforementioned Content button. You can still adjust the aspect ratio from the Tools menu; it's just not as easy to access
