Samsung LN46A550 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

I have owned this TV for a month. It was ordered on Friday late afternoon and delivered next Wednesday. The color can be adjusted for each input channel and the settings posted on the AVS forum thread are great (most commonly used settings are in post 995 by user clicq). The sound can also be tweaked to be acceptable (again AVS forum has settings posted).

I don't think the 650 and 750 series are worth the additional money compared to this 550. You would pay a few hundred dollars more for (1) a more reflective screen, which is what I want to avoid, otherwise I would go for plasma for better picture, (2) slightly better contrast, for which the difference is probably mostly on paper, (3) 120Hz, which I haven't yet seen its advantage over the 5ms response time of this TV, (4) better speakers, which you can easily beat with even low-end external speaker systems.

My TV was hit on the top right back corner probably during packaging at the factory. It dented the bezel by half an inch and cracked the back cover a little. All these cannot be seen from the front. Amazon agreed to either replace the TV with no additional cost or refund 20%. After opening the back cover to make sure no damage was done to the internal stuff, I went for the refund. Amazon also refunded some additional money for 30 day price match. All you need to do is to ask.

just like many, I did PLENTY of research before deciding on the 46' 550. Have had the tv for just at a month now and really enjoy it. The unit was shipped from the Dallas, Tx area and since I live in central Oklahoma..it was rec'd in a short 2 days.

I can't really comment on the "white glove delivery", as I picked the unit up myself from their Okc rec'g dept in person. It was going to take another day for them to get it from Okc to Norman (about a 15 min trip) and I had business near their warehouse anyway, so saved myself the day wait.

As many have already mentioned, the sound is a bit weak...but it does get alot better with some tinkering with the settings (avs forums are a good source for this kind of info). As for the picture on HD At&t cable....wow!! Just awesome. Also, my SD digital cable is pretty darn good as well. I've read a few people complain that SD cable looks "horrific"...but in my opinion that's an issue with their service provider, not the unit...as my picture is very very good.

PS3 games and Blu Ray look just great and I've experienced no blurring on Call of Duty 4 or on sports. Maybe I'm just not sensitive to that..but it's certainly not been a problem for me.

The remote is pretty nice, with a nice back-light feature for easy use in the dark and the menus are pretty straight forward and easy to use. Changing the mode, ie..."movie, game, etc" was a bit challenging at first, but it's just a matter of remembering the proper sequence of buttons, which is rather easily done after a few times.

The amount of adjustability of this unit is really incredible as well. I've found that the factory settings are pretty darn good for me, but I've improved the picture (to my taste) by tweaking a few things. For the techno's out there...they'll enjoy the limitless options in this area.

All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase from Amazon (got the unit for $1421). I saved a bunch of $$$ over the local brick and mortar stores, got the unit in quick fashion and it's performed as great as I was hoping it would. Definitely a very solid value for a 46' quality unit.

After doing extensive research online and in major stores, I decided to go with the Samsung LN46A550 from Amazon.com mainly because it was "much" cheaper than major stores. Delivery was super fast and the white glove delivery service is fantastic. They The picture quality is simply superb especially when watching cable channels broadcasting in 1080i. The sound quality is not too bad, but I have it hooked it to my Audio Engine speakers so that's not an issue. The only drawback is that this TV doesn't have "variable" audio output, which means I couldn't hook up my external speakers to the audio output on the back and be able to control the speakers volume with the remote control. Instead I ended up connecting my speakers to the headphone output on the side, set the speakers volume to an acceptable level and use the TV remote to control the volume. Small price to pay for a great TV though, so that's ok. Other than that, the menu is easy to navigate and did I mention how great this TV looks? I highly recommend it.

This TV is everything I've been hoping for in a large-screen HDTV. My previous HD was a 32" (in my BR now), and the Samsung 46" is a great transition to the "big world." I've examined it very closely and have not found one single "dead pixel," which is amazing for one this size. Color, brightness, and contrast is outstanding. On the downside - although the screen is not highly reflective, I wish it was a little less reflective. If you have lights on in the room, you do get some glare. My wife says I'm crazy, but I do see some glare. Also, I've read some reviews that say the imbedded sound system is fantastic. It's not bad, but it's certainly not worthy of a high rating. Best solution is a seperate surround system, which I have and everything is great. Bottom line: If you're in the ballpark of $1300, this is the best TV on the market, hands down.

My siblings and I got together and purchased this TV for our parents as an anniversary gift. None of us have actually seen it yet but we have heard nothing but rave reviews since the day it was installed. The TV was delivered a week and a half after being ordered which is quick in my opinion and the picture quality is unparalleled according to the parents.
