 This is a Great Samsung LCD TV. A+++++ April 25, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is my first HD TV I have purchased in my life. I have been having this TV for 2 weeks now. There are no dead pixels. The picture quality and colors are great! The sound quality is average. There is no bass and/or treble controls on this TV. The sound on this TV is loud enough for a small room. If your room is really huge then it might not be loud enough for you. I would recommend for you to buy a home theater system for this TV to get the full amazing sound experience. The screen barely has any glare on it when I open all my windows when it's sunny outside. Standard and high definition channels look amazing on this TV if you use a HDMI connection. I don't see any ghosting when I play my video games or computer games. The menu system for this TV is very user friendly. I wish Samsung made bass and treble controls available in the menu options like the Sony Bravia TVs. Overall this TV is great!
 Picture quality very nice, but sound is horrible! April 26, 2008

Just plugged in my new TV after reading glowing reviews around the web. The picture is great, the price is great. Unfortunately the sound sounds like it is coming out of a barrel. I'm sure the speakers are fine, but they are somewhere shoved up inside the set so that they sound like they are coming out of a tube. Just make sure you plan on buying a sound system for this one...
Excellent picture, great sound, wonderful bargain. May 2, 2008

This TV is wonderful, my first generation HD-ready CRT RPTV finally bit it. I wanted to wait for the full digital switchover to occur before I bought my next tv, but it was not meant to be. After much research I chose this unit as it has a wonderful price/performance ratio among the top tier, 1080P candidates. I was looking for a good 50ish inch tv going into a very bright and sunny room for 70/20/10 TV/xbox/movie duty. $$$ / square inch cost of this unit is excellent, not much of a surcharge over the 46 inch unit which is nice. I did the audio and video tweaks outlined in AVS forum, the tv is just plain awesome.
Great TV, totally happy with it. June 16, 2008

I've been researching for months now and finally decided on the Samsung A550 series. I just got the TV 2 days ago, my first HDTV. I was originally planning on getting a 46" but couldn't find the deal i wanted so i ended up picking the 52". I was kind of nervous since i'm getting a larger sized TV than planned and might be overwhelmed with the size (9' viewing distance). When we got it set-up it was awesome. It was big but not overwhelming. The size was just perfect and couldn't be happier. I liked the matte/semi-gloss screen because i have 2 big windows behind the couch directly in-front of the TV and no glare at all even with the blinds open. This is one of the main reasons i opted for the 550 series. The viewing angles are very nice too since i have a love seat and a recliner chair on the side of my living room and it can be easily viewed without any problems. I didn't have HD service yet, so i just hooked up indoor antennas to pick up OTA (over-the-air) channels and the built-in digital tuner picked up both SD and digital channels and some HD channels. I was watching the NBA finals Game 5 and was blown away. I was getting 720p feed from ABC HD and the picture was awesome. I did also get some 1080i HD feeds from OTA and it looked great. I can't wait to get some HD channels (dish/cable) and PS3 bluray with this set. Right now my set-up is OTA and my laptop hooked-up to the TV so i'm just scratching the tip of the iceberg on the full potential of this TV. The sound is ok if you use one of the Amazon reviewers audio settings which i belive was taken from AVSforums and it is really worlds of difference from the default settings. Overall, this is a great and wonderful TV.
Great TV for HDMI plus HDTV, not so great for old analog July 8, 2008

When matched with TiVo HD, Time Warner HDTV service and a quality HDMI cable, the result is stunning for HDTV channels. I find myself mesmerized by the output quality, and I don't want to go back to watching regular tv channels (even from cable). Regular (compressed) channels from Time Warner are unimpressive (they look filled with noise). Blueray is phenomenal.
Even compared to my 47" Panasonic plasma and Sony 32" LCD which are about a year old, this unit's display of colors, including blacks, is far superior.
