    Editor’s Rating Samsung’s powerhouse lines of HDTVs are omnipresent in all price ranges, from the lower tiers to the highest end of the spectrum. Among the notables in the Samsung’s vaunted arsenal is the LN46A550, a mid-range LCD that holds a nice balance between performance and affordability. Read more

  1. Do not buy a Samsung TV. You have been warned.

    We purchased our tv in early December of 2010 after reading several reviews, researching online, and going to local electronics stores to see them for ourselves. The Samsung picture quality is very good when compared with others side by side. We also have purchased a Samsung Bluray and have been happy with the quality of both; until a few weeks ago. And as you can guess, the troubles started one month after the warranty expired. Read more

    I've only had it for a couple of weeks but I can't take my eyes off of it. It took me a while to figure out that some channels are not HD but the ones that are are fantastic. I did call customer support and I spoke to someone (from the US and spoke English)immediately who helped me with a couple of questions. Read more

  3. "Great tv...for a year. Don't buy one."

    I have never been one to get extended warranties on any products but if you are going to buy this tv you have to get one. It will fail after the warranty runs out. Our tv is automatically turning off, the volume goes up on its own, the source mode changes intermittently and the menu will just come up as you are watching tv. It is probably going to cost us a few hundred dollars to fix if I read others reviews on the net. Read more

    This very low profile TV looks great in my living room. Even the wife has grown to love it. This is the best TV for the money. There are higher tech TV's out there but my eyes would not know the difference. I do not know how I lived so long with out HD. Read more

    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. Read more
