- Agree with all the info above! Awesome TV but...
- This TV is fantastic as all have stated above... however a few things that are frustrating:
#1 - The TV only has one tuner built in - which means PIP only works when switching from other inputs. My old Sony had 2 tuners which was great for sports games and movies etc... I assumed without reading details this new TV would automatically have it.
#2 - Remote Control has more difficulty upclose but great range from a distance - maybe its my inability to point correctly...
Other than those simple items - this TV is awesome! - 2008-04-28, 1 of 6 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Picture quality very nice, but sound is horrible!
- Just plugged in my new TV after reading glowing reviews around the web. The picture is great, the price is great. Unfortunately the sound sounds like it is coming out of a barrel. I'm sure the speakers are fine, but they are somewhere shoved up inside the set so that they sound like they are coming out of a tube. Just make sure you plan on buying a sound system for this one...

- This is a Great Samsung LCD TV. A+++++
- This is my first HD TV I have purchased in my life. I have been having this TV for 2 weeks now. There are no dead pixels. The picture quality and colors are great! The sound quality is average. There is no bass and/or treble controls on this TV. The sound on this TV is loud enough for a small room. If your room is really huge then it might not be loud enough for you. I would recommend for you to buy a home theater system for this TV to get the full amazing sound experience. The screen barely has any glare on it when I open all my windows when it's sunny outside. Standard and high definition channels look amazing on this TV if you use a HDMI connection. I don't see any ghosting when I play my video games or computer games. The menu system for this TV is very user friendly. I wish Samsung made bass and treble controls available in the menu options like the Sony Bravia TVs. Overall this TV is great!

- Making the right choice
- I had narrowed my choice for a new tv to either the Panasonic 50" plasma or the Samsung 52" LCD. My daughter has the Panasonic which is a very nice set. But due to the brightness of the room, I decided on the Samsung. I've had it set up for the past week and all I can say is this is an amazing tv. Regarding the price, local big box stores are selling this for $2799. I paid $2338 at Amazon on April 2 and due to the 30 day best price policy, to date I have received $120 in credits to my card. If you're in the market for a tv, I cannot say enough about the Samsung LN52A550P or Amazon.
