If you don't see any spots on your tv when you are watching it, relax and enjoy it, don't go looking for every imperfection in the world, if you can't see it, assume your tv is good.

Thanks for info and advice.

So I cannot manually change the refresh rate to 240Hz my LN52B750 is capable of, correct?

I have a DVD player, not blue-ray. So I cannot get 1080p out of a DVD player, correct?

Just want to confirm.

Thanks!
