- Priceless Purchase
- I had taken two years shopping around for the right TV with everything necessary for the next wave of technology, and this model was at the top of my list for awhile until DTV was announced for February 2009. I compared this model to other brands in the same size, and I compared this brand between the different sizes. This is a great all-in-one, and I would say the best year of production for this model. I love LOVE love this TV with its crisp picture, various inputs, and ease in control. It's extremely lightweight, and I would definitely recommend getting this size if you can afford it. I wouldn't trade this birthday purchase for anything else so get it while you still can!

- Good value
- Good value for the price. Picture does not seem to be as sharp as our 37 inch Panasonic, but that may be due to screen size. Also, seems to hesitate between channel changes - a minor inconvenience. Overall, a satisfactory unit.

- Great TV, I'm very pleased
- Got the TV yesterday. I chose to pick it up rather than have it delivered due to scheduling problems. The picture is great! The internal speakers are the weak feature, but this has been discussed. I also bought the Peerless tilt system, it works ok, but I'm using the set screw system rather than the variable feature. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

- Superior Performance for the Price
- Overall this is a great TV. I sold HD TVs for 7 years during high school and college and have a VERY discerning eye when it comes to picture quality. I honestly have no issues with this TV other than the sound is a bit tinny. Xbox 360 + PS3 looks phenomenal on this set.
Pros:
- Superior picture quality in both color accuracy and contrast.
- Superior SD processing, on my older Sony SD channels looked horrid, however with the 550 series my wife can hardly tell the difference between SD and HD. I do have a much more discerning eye however it does not bother me at all to watch SD programming whereas on the Sony I avoided it at all costs.
- Intuitive controls and menus
Cons:
- Mediocre sound quality - 2008-10-03, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Fantastic HDTV for a Fantastic Price.
- I have been in the market for an HDTV for over a year, and I had made up my mind on the Samsung LN46A550.
At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with a 40 or a 46 (View distance is about 8-9 feet), I am more than glad I went with the 46. I think I could have gotten away with the 52 if I wanted. ;)
The TV looks fantastic. I did not do a professional calibration, but if you head over to the AVSForums, you will find tons of info on this TV along with some fantastic audio and video settings.
I have an Xbox 360 hooked up to it via Component and it looks unbelievable. I also have a Time Warner Digital Cable Box hooked up via HDMI and the HD Channels are fantastic. A few are a bit so so, but that is on the Cable Providers end, not the TV. :)
If you are in the market for an HDTV in this size range, go for the LN46A550. Great price and free shipping...can't be beat.
I ordered mine on a Sunday and I picked it up from the shipping company directly Friday night. - 2008-10-02, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
