At first i was going to buy the 810C model but then i realized that that model was over a year old and about to be discontinued. Then i saw the 900C model but the 'light bleed' reviews just scared me to death. Then i saw the newly released 750D.
This 750D model had no reviews so i had nothing to go on. Seeing as it was a newly released TV, i can only assume they learned from the mistake of the 900C fiasco. And i can confirm that it is perfect!
Now i've only had it for two days so I'm just giving my first impressions. It's a giant TV with a beautiful picture. The TV communicates flawlessly with my Sony Blu-ray player and Sony 4K receiver through HDMI ARC. i can actually control the receiver settings (not just volume, power), through the Sony TV remote; settings like Night Mode, receiver input, etc... I can control the blu-ray player through the remote as well.
Netflix is also just one touch away with the 'Netflix' button on the remote! I also installed HBO GO, Amazon Video and Showtime from the Play Store.
I haven't tested the sound but if you're spending this much on a TV then you probably have at least a sound bar already.
I like the default settings for the picture so i just left it as is.
So far i give this TV 10/10 score. I will update this review later if any issues come up.

With fifth-generation Intel Core processors, the latest graphics, and faster flash storage, the incredibly advanced MacBook Pro with Retina display moves even further ahead in performance and battery life.* *Compared with the previous generation.

Best Buy had that MBP on sale for just $1299 with an additional $50 student discount! I quickly returned the MacBook Air i had just bought and figured the extra 4GB of ram, extra 128GB of space, Retina Display and faster processor were well worth the extra $450. Even if you aren't a gamer/photo/video editor, or just aren't a "power" user in general; you WILL appreciate the Retina Display and amazing speakers!

MacBook Air features fifth-generation Intel Core processors with stunning graphics, all-day battery life*, ultrafast flash storage, and great built-in apps. It's thin, light and durable enough to take everywhere you go — and powerful enough to do everything once you get there.

My 2011 MacBook Air was running just as fast as the day I bought it 5 years ago. However, the 11" screen was starting to feel a bit small. Best Buy had this 13" 2015 Air on sale for just $799, so I pounced on it like a cat! I love it! I'm glad I didn't get the 12" MacBook with no USB ports!

4 out of 5I like it a lot!
By Momof3
I mostly like this computer although it is taking some getting used to. Apple is a lot different and does things differently. I didn't like pages at all, as I am used to Microsoft and so are my kids. That was an easy fix as I just bought the microsoft. Also, the computer is giving me a hard time with the email. It keeps asking for my password and then rejects the password, although I know it is completely correct. If I sign in through AOL.com, using the same password, it works. If I open the email icon and sign in, it does not work. I don't know how to fix there or what support is available to me.

It's a fine PC, I like it very much. But I have to say that it keeps saying "display driver stopped responding and has recovered". I don't really know why.

I'm not sure if it upscales my DirecTV non 4K channels to 4K.

4 out of 5Optical output disappointing
By blacksmith
I discovered that in order to output 5.1 from the optical output the internal speakers need to be turned off.
