Samsung LN40A550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
- Crisp picture out of the boxI purchased this set after reading the Consumer Reports recommendation, and what impressed me the most was the performance right out of the box. I simply took the TV out, hooked it up and the picture is beautiful. The TV seems to handle motion well, and the HD is perfect.
If I could give it 4.5 stars I would due to the sound. Without a hook-up to a sound system, the sound is hollow at low volume... increasing the volume seems to eliminate the problem...

- Close, but not quite thereThe TV was pretty much as promised. The set up was straight forward and quick. The picture is outstanding. The two complaints are sound quality and the remote control operation. I read the reviews about the less than stellar sound quality and purchased anyhow figuring it cant be that bad. Well it pretty much is. Very flat and not fitting a set of its otherwise very good quality. Why they designed this set to have the speakers in lower back side projecting rearward is beyond me as well. The remote has to be pretty much perpendicular to the front middle of the set for the signal to be recognized. Any deviation left or right or up and down and the it wont work. A little frustrating when used in any other seating position in my family room but one chair head on. My 32' Toshiba Regza has much better sound and remote function

- Excellent AlternativeThis is a superior value to the A650 or the A750 Series by Samsung. If you are considering the extra expense for the next size larger, you will fined this a better choice. I recommend it highly.
