5Samsung LCD HD TV   Nov 21, 2008
Everything was as advertised. The picture is better than I had hoped. HDMI cable gives a crystal clear picture. Amazon rep unpacked and set up the TV and hooked everything up and made sure it worked before he left. Dedlivery was fast. No complaints

5Great TV  Nov 20, 2008
This is the first HDTV I've owned. I've had it for about a month now, and I'm still blown away by it. Only downside is I find myself watching TV just to be blown away by the amazing picture. USB thing is pretty cool, too.

5A 10 as far as I am concerned  Nov 20, 2008
Best picture I have ever seen. I cannot express the excitement and joy I am feeling. Wow! I highly recommend purchasing. Also the price was outstanding for what you get.

5Great Tv  Nov 20, 2008
Works great. Speaker are a bit poor but I run it thru a Yamaha AV via Hdmi so dont really care.
Picture is great on my old Dvd player via S video.
Direct TV HD connected as well via hdmi.
Logitech remote takes care of any issues with the supplied one so I havent noticed any startup time issues.
Over the air digital signal pickup was very good.

5The most amazing investment in my entire life...  Nov 19, 2008
This TV is simply an amazing piece of engineering. It looks good, performs good and is definitely my best investment by far!!!

Before I had got this, I was researching a lot about the various specs that this TV has.... It had a good Dynamic contrast ratio(30000:1), a response time (5ms) and the best resolution available as of today (1080p)...

Boy, I'm glad that I went for this set. I compared this with a few other TV sets that my friends had( all were 1080p, brands: Vizio and Sharp 42" TVs) and only then did I really know why every one insists on Contrast ratio.. Man the black in this TV are so black and the picture quality is crystal clear. Sound, out of the box was definitely an issue, however, with a few adjustments (search google for "best sound setting on Samsung LN40A550" and you can find a few links that have images of their custom sound settings. Believe me, it makes a huuuuuuuuuuge difference and now I'm more than happy with my TV's sound quality)

I went for the Verizon's FIOS TV for cable and the clarity of the channels is just out of this world.

After seeing all these things, I just wonder how the higher models in Samsung would perform (one with 100000:1 contrast ratio). People who own those should be ever more luckier and satisfied. If I ever think of getting a bigger TV, I'll close my eyes and go for a Samsung. Kudos to Samsung for making millions of their customers happy.

Don't even hesitate buying this TV.. You wont be disappointed for sure.

Have fun....

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!

Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)

The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)

"
Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."

Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
