Samsung LN52A550 Great TV for low Prize

I have purchased two of the Samsung LNXXA550 series, I could say that it is own of the best options on the marked since it has a decent prize. The first one I bought was 40 Inch, later I saw it too small and bought the 52 inch one.

Image is pretty clear, the only thing I didn't enjoyed much was the sound, sometimes it was to soft for my taste (Video games), but when you hook it up to a Home Theater or Stereo, it does the magic.

It's a nice option, with a great prize and nice features.

Samsung LN52A550 TV works great, but delivery could be better

I received the TV as promised after a mix up in scheduling the delivery. The TV was in great condition. I did have a problem with the delivery. They came late past the window of time they gave me and didn't give me a call 1 hour before. I had to call them to get the status. There was only one delivery guy and I had to help him bring the TV into my home. Good thing I didn't need the TV upstairs. He didn't do any testing to make sure the TV worked. Overall I was please with the price and the TV itself.

Samsung LN52A550 Great TV with one minor annoyance..

I have owned this TV for several months, and definitely enjoy the picture size and quality. As many people have pointed out, the default sound settings are not very good, but you can improve them by modifying the settings or hooking the TV up to an A/V receiver. The only problem I have with the TV is when hooked up via HDMI, when I change inputs (DVR to DVD player) or even change channels where the resolution changes (720p to 1080i), there is delay where the screen goes black and a "Searching for Signals" message appears. Occasionally during this process is an audible pop. I don't fully know the reason for this, but after searching on the internet, it has something to do with the "HDMI handshake". Regardless, the solution is to just hit mute when changing inputs. This can be annoying and detracts from my enjoyment of the TV; that's why it is getting four stars.

Samsung LN52A550 satisfied

Have had this about two weeks, and am pleased. Value is excellent, and have seen the same set at local Best Buy, etc. for $500-$600 more. Had two repair issues that have been handled well and quickly. The base has unstable and a replacement was send immediately, it arrived damaged and another was sent. Also had a line at the top of the screen and Samsung had new parts in and installed (at our home)within 4 days. The base issues were probably shipping related, the circuit boards were for an intermittant problem but Samsung didn't quibble. Picture is excellent, doubt I could be much more satisfied for the money.

Samsung LN52A550 Good choice for the money

I have owned this television for three weeks. The picture quality is top notch when viewing an HD signal. There are two items that have been minor disappointments. 1. The PIP only works with an analog signal. I didn't realize this before I made the purchase. 2. When watching football the image sometimes has a hard time keeping up with the action and you will see a partially blurred picture. This set is great for watching movies and regular television however.

Samsung LN52A550 Great TV, Great Price

CC was going out of business here in town and I was determined to get the best deal I could on a new TV. They wouldn't budge on an open box LN52A550 from $1600. Although I thought this was a good deal at the time...I just felt I could do better. Christmas came and went, the store closed, and I had not purchased a TV...in fact I was kicking myself for not buying the TV at that 1600 price. I then found the same TV, for 1498 w/ what was advertised as "free shipping" and it was out of state, so tax free. I jumped on it. Then through the course of the purchase, I learned that there was a $58 shipping fee. Anyway, besides the horrible shipping conditions, and shoddy delivery service chosen by Amazon, the TV has been great! The picture is beautiful, sharp, clear, bright, and rich. The speakers are on the bottom and back, which take away from it's ability to get the sound out to you on the couch, but they do a good job until you can get a surround system. The controls are easy and comfortable. I don't like that "TV" is always selected for a source to view, since I'm not using it should be grayed out like the rest. I am very happy with my purchase and would buy the same TV again.

Samsung LN52A550 Great Buy!

I purchased the LN52A550 about a month ago. Great product. Alot of LCD buyers wish they would have bought a larger unit after their initial purchase. I had planned on purchasing the LN46A550. I could upgrade to the 52' for a few hundred dollars more. A no brainer. Great color and deep blacks. Great matte finish for no glare in a sun bright room. No regrets.

Samsung LN52A550 Satisfied,

Nice clean look to the TV. Excellent picture. Fair sound improved with an auxilliary sound system. Haven't been able to get the PIP to work but otherwise very satisfied.

Samsung LN52A550 TV

I am very happy with the TV - it's awesome. However, I'm not very happy with Amazon. The day I received the TV Amazon lowered their price for the TV by $110. I contacted Amazon and their best advice was to send this one back and repurchase it at the lower price. When I purchased the TV and talked to their online help, I was led to believe that if the price went down within a short period of my purchase, they would adjust it. No such luck. Their policy of absolutely no price adjustments after purchase should be published on their website. Amazon needs to be more upfront with their customers.

Samsung LN52A550 LCD HDTV

I would recommend this TV for anyone looking for LCD HDTV with less than 2000 budget. It has great picture and three HDMI inputs. For this price range this is the best LCD HDTV i have seen.
