Digital camera reviews of Samsung LN46A550 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
Digital camera Review: 1.5 years after purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic product. No issues since purchase, Amazon white glove delivery actually got it to me a day early. Granted, sound quality is subpar, but I've never heard any other built in speakers that were any better, and honestly if you buy a TV this size, you have room for a receiver and speakers too. Primarily used as a PC monitor, no issues with gaming on PC or console. Text can be a little hard to read @ default resolution. I think a really nifty idea for all televisions of this kind would be to have a small lamp in the housing to illuminate the I/O panel.Digital camera Review: 1st flat screen

We did alot of product and user research before deciding on the Samsung 550 and just love it. We were actually looking at the 750 but after reading a customer review about the 550 and how its screen is practically glare-resistant, changed gears. Then we found the best price on Amazon and like other reviewers we were hesitant to buy a "big ticket" item on line but after reading about others' positive experiences and always having had good experiences w/Amazon's delivery, just did it. It arrived exactly when promised, the deliverer called ahead to schedule the delivery and they were flexible around our schedule. We are using the stand which is included as we prefer the swivel feature so we did not need installation. To set-up, the 550 is pretty close to plug & play. 5 stars for the product and to amazon!Digital camera Review: 46" 5 series hits the sweet spot
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought the TV 2 weeks ago and it was delivered a week later. I wouldn't say Eagle delivery was great but they took it up a flight of stairs, opened the box, and left all in about 10 minutes. All in all the ordering process was painless.
As for the TV itself, wow. This is my first big screen 1080p TV and it is quite an experience. The first thing you'll notice is how unobtrusive the bezel is. Other tv's have huge colored bezels that detract from the viewing experience *cough* Sony *cough*.
This set is very bright without the glossy screen. Out of the box the picture is pretty good but spend 15 minutes looking on AVS Forum and adjust the set and it'll look spectacular. The black levels are very good for a midrange set and very good compared to the competitors. Color accuracy is excellent provided you have a good source. Also, the set does a good job displaying SD material as long as you're not sitting 4 feet away from the set. I have not had any issues with noise or artifacts that wasn't due to the source material i.e. SD material being upconverted to HD (I'm looking at you TNT!).
One of the drawbacks I've heard is the sound quality of the built in speakers. While it is true the built in speakers are not of the highest quality, adjusting the EQ based on the recommendations from AVS Forum increases the sound quality dramatically. Or do yourself a favor and get a inexpensive surround sound system like a Onkyo or Yamaha HTIB.
I believe this set is the best bang for your buck in terms of performance and features. Samsung consistently builds some of the best LCD panels and this one is no exception. Do yourself a favor and go to your local big box and view this one next to other brands and you'll see why.
Wishlist of things that could have been:
1) Universal remote (not a big deal)
2) One DVI port (not a big deal, DVI to HDMI adapter)
3) Better speakers
4) One more HMDI port (just being greedy, 3 is good)
Digital camera Review: 46" TV
Summary: 4 Stars
This was my first experience with purchasing a TV online and was somewhat leery about a 46" TV arriving on time and in one piece.
The TV arrived on time and more importantly in one piece. I did order an HDMI cable and Surge protector separately, which also arrived on time and without incident.
My expectation is for a purchase to be seamless as soon as I finish the online transaction. In this case my expectations were met.

I am very very happy with this tv. The picture is beautiful, the sound is great and it looks beautiful on my wall. I shopped around and none of the stores would beat amazons price. Also I was very happy with the free delivery. It arrived on time in perfect condition. This was my first time ordering on line and couldn't have been more pleased.
