- Samsung LN46A550 Review
- I've had this TV for about 2 weeks and I'm satisfied with its performance. The picture is sharp and clear. The case looks great and it doesn't weigh a ton like my last TV. The only negative is that the sound is less than perfect, sometimes its not clear at any volume. I've only had this problem on a couple of occasions. Buy this TV, its a great value and the shipper Amazon uses is very professional.

- Great Product
- I've been looking at HDTVs for over a year and was just waiting for Samsung's 4661 model to go down in price. When the 5 series model came out,I did a pretty serious comparison between my original choice and the 5-series, and was surprised. After doing some additional research, I took the plunge in the late May.
TV arrived and was immediately hooked up to the home theater system (Polk Audio speakers and Sony Receiver) via a SINGLE HDMI cable. Since the initial use, I cannot find one single flaw to say about this TV since it outperformed all my expectations. Color saturation, sharpness and blacks are excellent.
I have also used the TV as a monitor for my laptop...and there's nothing that compares with a 46 inch monitor.
Another thing which I would recommend is to get an upconverting DVD player for all regular dvd disks...
Unfortunately, I have not used the speakers on the TV as I have used it with the external system, so I cannot judge here. But if you are looking for a great TV with an excellent price, definitely go for this LCD. - 2008-06-19, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great picture!
- Spent several months checking out various TVs in the 46-50 inch range. When the 46A550 came out in April and was less expensive that its predecessor with better features, it was a no-brainer. Also looked at the 650 & 750 but definitely did not like the red frame around it. The picture is great for HD channels and better for standard def channels than most other sets I've seen. Others mentioned the speakers being on the bottom of the set being a downside and I would agree with that, but it certainly isn't a big issue. I would definitely recommend this set.

- Amazon's service is impeccable
- My husband and I had done our research and decided on the Samsung LN46A550 46 Inch LCD HDTV. I was hesitant to order such a fragile item online, and my husband was totally against. Nobody in our city was carrying the item at the time of our purchase, so we turned to Amazon. This TV was less expensive, delivery was free, and we ended up saving about $150! And the white glove delivery was excellent. Delivery was prompt, communication was clear, and they even set the TV up for me. I thought I would have to take an entire morning off work to wait for delivery, but it only took me 30 minutes total!

- Love this TV and Amazon's Service
- The first Samsung LN46A550 46inch TV that we ordered was defective, in that vertical blue lines appeared on the screen immediately and the longer we had it,(about 10 days) the more lines appeared. I called Amazon, and with no trouble at all they ordered us a new one and said they would pick up the defective TV upon delivery of the new one, with no cost to us.
We've been doing business with Amazon since they first started. Remember when all they sold was books? We keep coming back because of the excellent service. This was our first major purchase from them, and they did not disappoint.
I also called Samsung regarding the problem, and they were very helpful and pleasant, and most importantly, it was not hard to get ahold of an actual person to talk to. We had read many bad reviews about Toshiba customer service which is why we had rejected that brand.
Our replacement TV is just fine, beautiful, sharp picture. We have satellite HDTV and the clarity is amazing. Can't say much about the sound because we have it connected to a surround sound system. We did buy the extended warranty because of our first experience. The Amazon price was $400 less that of a similar Samsung (last year's model) at a local Sears store. - 2008-06-17, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
