 Defective product Jul 18, 2010
Most of the reviews on the product are pretty good because they were written soon after the purchase. The problem is that there is a very common defect known as powercycling that hits these TVs in one to two years. In my case the TV stays on for about half an hour and then clicks on and off repeatedly by itself. There are thousands of complaints cropping up all over the internet about this issue. I purchased mine as an already two year old refurbished unit and so it never worked from day one. It is under warranty so I called Samsung which exhibited pretty pathetic customer service. For the first two phone calls they played dumb and suggested various plugging and unplugging techniques. After I did more searching online and learned how prevalent the problem is I spoke to customer service again and called them out on it. Now they said they will send someone to come by and fix it. We'll see. I would not purchase a Samsung TV again.

Great set until the trouble starts Feb 03, 2010
When I purchased this set in Dec. of 2008 I was quite pleased overall but now, 13 months later, there is nothing but frustration with this set and the Samsung company. I woke up one morning and tried to switch on the set to watch the news but it wouldn't turn on right away as per usual. It started making a clicking sound as if it was trying to power up. It finally came on after 4 or 5 minutes of said clicking but when it did come on the picture had a pink/purple tint to it and the sound on the set was totally out (the built in speakers as well as the audio out RCA jacks). I immediately went to research this problem on the internet and found hundreds of posts from people complaining about the same trouble with a lot of models from Samsung (try it yourself...google "samsung + power + clicking + trouble" without the quotes). So far Samsung has been of absolutely no help and they even go so far as to not even acknowledge that there is a problem.
Maybe by this point in time they have resolved the issue so the newer models will not be as troublesome but you never know. As for myself I will never purchase another Samsung product.
 Great TV For The Price! Jan 21, 2010
I've had this TV for about a year now, and there are no problems whatsoever. Picture quality is awesome. HD comes out crystal clear. Before purchasing this TV, I looked at the 6 and 7 series, Sony XBR8, and some plasmas. All had very good picture quality, but not enough to be worth the extra hundreds of dollars. I watch mostly sports, and a lot of people say that the 60 hz isn't optimal for it. I think it's fine. The lag isn't very noticeable unless you compare it side by side.
Sound quality is pretty good considering that they're TV speakers. At factory settings, they were a little mid-y, but it can easily be adjusted through the menu to produce decent sounding speakers. If you want the best sound, you shouldn't be listening through a TV anyway. So for what it is, the sound is pretty good.
Features-wise, the 550 is much more limited than the 750, but I figured I'm not going to do much with the TV besides watching it. I think one neat feature of the 750 is that it can be hooked up through a LAN so that your computers can communicate with your TV. I don't really need that though, so the 550 was perfect for my purposes.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. This is one of Samsung's cheapest, full 1080p TVs out. I recommend it to anyone that's looking for a TV, but is on a budget.
 Great Television, Great Value Dec 19, 2009
I bought this television on Black Friday 2008 at Black Friday prices which included a free Samsung Blu-Ray player. Over a year later and two moves, the television still has a great picture and a great appearance. In fact I have purchased 2 other Samsung 550 series televisions for my parents and they love the picture also.

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.
