- great tv from samsung
- Love this tv , excellent picture, easy menu and good sound. I own a 32inch version and i was so pleased i replaced my 53inch panasonic crt in my living room. I highly recommend this tv for movies ,games and sports. Baseball looks great in HD ,If your very picky football in HD might have a very little blur because of the speed the 120hz helps. You really dont notice it unless you really look for it. If you really picky and dont mind the weight, heat and power usage, look at some plasmas from samsung and panasonic . But if you want a LCD this the best one out their and i am very happy and i am sure you will love it to. Amazon white glove delivery is great is great I have used it before and its great. Best price i could find in town by 400 dollars and no tax or shipping. I hope this helped.

- Samsung 52a550. . .Great TV! Great Price!
- First, I am not an audio/video expert. So, I did a lot of shopping before I finally pulled the trigger on this one. I went to various retail centers (Best Buy, Fry's, etc.) to scout pricing and viewing performance of the different models.
Samsung LCD HDTVs have the best user ratings. The 52a550 is a great buy. It works great in my room, which is a kind of bright. The menu, interface and remote are easy to learn. My NFL Sundays are INCREDIBLE, now I wonder why I waited so long! - 2008-10-10, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Save yourself some money, buy this
- I was trying to build a home entertainment center with some kind of restraint. It would have been easy to spend twice as much as I did for a comparable sized TV by going for the 650 or 750 Samsung series. I ended up getting this TV because I didn't think the 120hz was worth the extra $400-$600 and didn't really think the glossy finish on the higher models would work in a basement used to entertain with lots of lights. My only worry was that the picture quality would be lower than the newer TVs. That thought went out the window the second I turned this TV on.
I have a PS3 and an HD DVR both hooked up via HDMI. They both work flawlessly and look gorgeous. Blu-ray discs look spectacular and with some guidance from the AVSForums I was able to calibrate the TV to get unbelievably accurate color. Seriously, the 120hz capability to play discs at 24 frames per second and the auto-motion features seem overkill to me. I have over 400 DVDs and they look fantastic. People throw around the terms "unwatchable" and "horrible" way too much when they want to justify spending twice the price of this TV for the newest model.
The Samsung 5 series may be a bit older, but the quality is still fantastic. I've never been more happy with an electronics purchase.
Only cons: Do note that if you're getting a TV this large, you better be getting a decent receiver / sound system or at least a home-theatre-in-a-box since the speakers on the TV are pretty low quality, but that's not what you're paying for. - 2008-10-07, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
