SAMSUNG LCD TVs turn your high-definition dreams into a definite, crystal-clear reality. Read more

  1. Excellent picture, weak sound

    I bought this television to replace my aging SDTV CRT. One of the primary things that I do with my TV is watch subtitled material from the internet, and over the years, the subtitles have just been getting smaller. So, an HDTV became a necessity to read them at all. I think the picture on this TV is excellent. I considered some lower-end and higher-end products in addition to this, but in the end, I didn't trust the lower-end products, and the higher-end ones look barely... Read more

  2. Great TV! - Samsung LN46A550

    The good and the bad (if you can call it bad): Good: Pretty much everything about the TV is awesome. If you buy this TV, buying HDMI cords for the cable box/blu ray/receiver is a must!Contrary to popular thought, they can be bought on monoprice.com for cheap. With ordinary component cords there was some blurring during fast moving scenes, but the HDMI cords fixed that great. Also, you don't need professional calibration. If you do the leg work online, you can find pretty... Read more

    I've had this LCD Tv for about a month. I mainly watch Sports, Movies,and some TV shows. Be forewarned, that you need to have HD Cable/Satellite service in order to take advantage of this beauty. The things that I find fascinating is the ease of use of the remote, the setup was a breeze, and the number of features that it has. A very convenient feature is the USB & HDMI access located on the right side of the TV next to the standard buttons (Power, Volume, Channel). This... Read more

    I read the other reviews and they were spot on regarding strengths and weaknesses. I agree that sound is equal to other similar TV's but that does not make it enjoyable. Count on using an external aud Read more
