- 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:
- Enter the HDTV world
- A great TV as recommended by my son who is a child of the electronic age. The Amazon price, to include free shipping, was lower than Best Buy or any of the other electronic stores.

- Great Product as far as I can tell
- I have had this television for about one month so far but I am extremely happy with my purchase. The set up was easy, basically plug and play, and I will recommend this model to anyone who asks me.

- Completely impressed
- Pretty much everything has been said before, but the picture on this TV is amazing. The blacks are very dark unlike the lower end TVs that give you a muddy brown instead of a black. It is easy to use, and set up.

- Very pleased with Samsung and Amazon
- This is a new-buyer review, so I won't comment on the LCD other than to say it's gorgeous and exceeds my expectations. The picture and build quality are top notch. I like the layout of the remote control and on-screen menu. I didn't see the need to tweak the settings. The factory defaults look very pleasing in my home. I have a lot of windows in the same room and yet the picture is very easy to view even during the day. After setting up the TV and letting it auto program for channels I was very happy to discover the built-in antenna picked up the local HD channels off the air, so no external antenna was necessary (your mileage might vary). I have noticed some blur on fast-moving sports but it's not a deal breaker. The faster LCDs (650 and up) with faster refresh rates and processors might handle this better however.
As for Amazon and the shipping company Ceva - 5 stars! I was contacted by Ceva to schedule a delivery. The set arrived three days sooner than Amazon stated, which is more of a delivery window than it is a target date. The two Ceva employees that carried in the new TV were very nice to work with and even took down my old heavy CRT TV before setting up the Samsung. If anyone is on the fence about buying from Amazon vs purchasing from Best Buy or Circuit City I'd buy from Amazon again without hesitation. The great price I paid, no tax, free shipping and white glove delivery were the icing on the cake. Thanks Amazon and Ceva!
I'll update this review in 6 months or a year for a long-term impression but the 550 might not be available for that much longer. Buy it now, you won't be dissapointed. - 2008-09-29, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
