Samsung LN52A550 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

we are absolutely satisfied with this purchase! would recommend it and the shipping was excellent, the packaging and set up was a breeze. the quality and sound are awesome. we would have paid over 2200.00 in the store here so we saved tons of money purchasing this with amazon.com!

I did the research and ordered my Samsung LCD from Amazon because they offered this item at a great price with free shipping. It arrived within two weeks and I am delighted with the picture quality, clarity and ease of use. Samsung made impressing my wife with the A550 easy. One complaint, I wish the remote control sensors were on the upper portion of the panel instead of the lower right corner to better pick up the remote signal.

I have had this TV for 2 months. I wanted to get over the honeymoon phase before I wrote a review. Now this is my first HDTV, so I can't compare to a whole list of other models but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that this TV has a great picture. The whites are very white and the blacks are very black. Having cable TV with HD is amazing. If you set this TV to the right setting I just can't see another TV looking too much better(I found the settings at ATV forums-do a google search). I love watching football in HD. Everything is so clear and, at least for me, I do not see any trailing with the fast moving pictures of football. I don't have a blu-ray yet so I really haven't seen this TV at it's absolute best but I can't wait!

If you are debating on this TV or another, I can tell you that you can't go wrong with this one - get the 52 inch - you can never go too big.

I didn't see the need to spend the extra $500-600 for the 650 which added another hdmi or 2, the 120hz and the touch of color. That's just my opinion but if you have the extra $ why not. But I love the piano black that surrounds this TV. It's very clean looking.

As for the sound I never really listened to it. I have a Harmon-Kardon surround sound hooked up.

Overall I can't see this TV being beat and I would definitely recommend this TV!!
I did buy the extended 3yr warranty but I haven't had a single problem thus far. The price I paid for the TV - $1800

Great HDTV - I would recommend buying this TV to anyone.

Colors look amazing!
Menus are easy to figure out.
It is a little slower flipping between stations.

I recently got this tv because I read the reviews on here and thought it sounded like a great tv. I love the size and all...only my problem is the picture quality. I tried adjusting everything on the menu but I still don't get a clear picture. Some of the channels are fine...others aren't. So is it the picture on the other end...or the tv isn't right?? If the picture was crystal clear I'd give it 5 stars. Not sure if I want to return it as it is a large item. So I am somewhat unhappy unless I can adjust it somehow...or maybe when digital comes in Feb. it will be better.
