Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

I looked around quite a while before selecting this model. I am familiar with Samsung products, so I knew I was getting a quality LCD television. It was very light (as compared to my plasma screen TV), delivered before the expected delivery date, and fits perfectly in my basement living room. On both cable and hooked up to my Samsung DVD player, it provided clear, vibrant pictures. I'm very happy with this purchase.

We used previous reviews on Amazon to determine the Samsung was the best pick for our new TV vs. a more expensive Sony that didn't have as good a picture. Several reviews complained of "tinny" audio but I guess we're not that picky; no complaints there. The picture is amazing and the olympics came to life in our living room! Now, time for the greatest season of football spectation yet! It looks very sleek in the living room too.

The picture quality of the TV is great. Vivid colors and dark blacks. My only complaint is that the audio is not great. Compared to my Sony, the audio sounds tinny and cheap. I'll be hooking up some external speakers soon.

Based on my technically savvy daughter's recommendation, I purchased this product. It was delivered, unpacked and installed by Amazon's contractor and has worked without a flaw since then. The pictures are clear and crisp. I could not have expected more.

First off, i am not going to write about the sound quality of this samsung tv, bc i hooked everything straight to my surround sound setup.

Next: This tv is well packaged, and came with no scratches, and the white glove delivery service was good overall.

Also, The picture is superb, i dont think you can get a better picture for the price or screen size. The tv looks nice too, it is glossy black and the swivel stand is actually a pretty good one. Ive seen some cheap swivel stands, but this one i actually dont mind having built in to the stand.

The "but" or the "inconvenience":
After doing a "screen check" (checking for any faulty issues with the tv) i found one. On the right side of the tv i found a light area of the screen that looks like a glare circle, but its built into the screen. I called amazon and they were really helpful and told me to contact samsung directly before initiating an exchange, so i called samsung and they were really helpful also and are going to send a service technician out to try and repair the tv.

Final note: i have read many a time that LCD's do sometimes have problems, and that not everyone comes perfect, as long as they get it fixed/replaced and i cant see anything wrong with it, then there is no worry. I will recommend this tv to anyone with about a 1000$ budget, bc you are getting a GREAT picture, with very vivid and detailed colors. Bluray looks amazing on this btw.

I will rate samsung phone support 5/5 stars
