Summary: Great TV
Comment: I just got this TV a few weeks ago after reading other positive and negative reviews and actually seeing it at a department store, and couldn't be happier. It has great clarity and colors, awesome contrast and illumination, and despite what other people say about this TV not having the glossy screen finish, I think it is better not to have it so glossy as the higher model does, because this one doesn't reflect other light sources on the screen as the other one does. I also like the design of this one better. I personally don't like the Touch of Color of the other one. The only thing that this one doesn't have that the other one does is the 120 Hz feature, which I would like to have. But for the price of the LN46A550 I think that you get a whole lot of TV.

Summary: Where's the HD?
Comment: I purchased this tv when my old Westinghouse LVM 42-w2 failed on me. The Westinghouse was a GREAT tv, with a crystal clear picture. I purchased a warranty through Best Buy when I originally purchased the set, and they gave me a refund when it went bad to apply to a new tv. I picked this model really at random - I didn't do the oodles of research I did on the Westy, trusting that it would be good at the price point. When I got home and set it up, I was really disappointed. It did not look very good on the factory settings. I turned off all the "bells and whistle" settings just to see the bare bones picture, and it was disappointing. I then spent a great deal of time tweaking the picture settings to try and get it to look good - all to no avail. Overall, the picture was bright and had very good color, but the clarity was really lacking on this set - everything just had a slight softness to it - definitely not the full HD experience I was used to. I also connected my PC to the set and once again, you could really see how it didn't give that crystal clarity that my old Westy had. For you techies out there - I have a HD DVR box connected via HDMI and was testing the set on 1080i broadcasts. I was getting a great picture on my Westinghouse with the same exact setup. I also tried a different HDMI cable to see if I got any difference - to no avail. ALSO - I returned the tv thinking it was a dud, and got a replacement. The picture looks exactly the same. This one is going back to the shop, and I will likely avoid Samsung sets in the future. I was really shocked especially after reading all the good reviews (especially the high rating at Consumer Reports). If you've never had full HD, this set might work for you, but if you know the full potential HD has to offer, this falls short of the mark.

Comment: I'm very pleased with this television. The picture quality is fantastic. The colors are bright and crisp. The picture is so clear. I noticed the exceptional quality of the picture especially while watching the summer olympics this year. My wife and I watch a lot of television and I know that we will enjoy watching it more now that we have this LCDTV. Family and friends have come over and they were as amazed as we on the performance of this television.

Comment: Although we do not have high definition ($$$) the tv looks awesome. I would recommend getting a surround sound system to increase the volume.

Summary: Good Value
Comment: I almost bought the TV at Cosco for $1800 + but couldn't fit it in the car. Went online and gotth set for $1440 "out the door". Took 3 or 4 days past the delivery date, which I was able to track. Otherwise it was as advertised, a very nice picture, although I didn't know that I had to get a different box from Comcast for more money to get HD. That never seems to be in their ads for how much HD you get with cable. Suprise, pay more.All in all a great TV at a great price.
