Strengths: Crystal Clear Picture Quality. Very Good Energy saver. Easy to Setup. Lots of input ports! Superb movie quality!
Weaknesses:It's a bit pricey!
Overall Evaluation: This is an absolute MUST for everyone looking to get a new HDTV! ...BUT, the price is a little to high in my opinion, I never would have got one if I never got mine for FREE!. Luckily a friend recommended this website to me before I went and bought one: **- www.hdtv.justgetitfree.com - ** . I checked out the website, completed ONE simple offer and met the requirements to receive one for FREE, it arrived a month later in the post! It was also shown on BBC and CNN news!!

Strengths: Sharp, clear picture. Great color. Easy to use remote and TV menu. Plenty of bang for the buck.
Weaknesses:No weaknesses for me.
Overall Evaluation: The Samsung LN46A550 is my first HDTV, and I couldn't be happier with it. The picture is excellent, (HD - regular TV is so-so, but that's to be expected after viewing HD broadcasts). The TV menu is very easy to understand and negotiate through. I have "lived with" my Samsung for 2 weeks, now. Out-of-the-box I only made minor adjustments to the color, (to suit my preferences). I orginally planned to purchase a 40 inch Samsung, but I "upgraded" to the 46 inch one, (better to go a bit large than regret a smaller screen size purchase), and I'm glad I did! I did a LOT of HDTV research before I purchased this TV, and I found that Samsung had consistantly been rated highly by both technical and consumer sites. If you're hesitating about purchasing this model Samsung, (or any model Samsung for that matter), don't! I'm one very satisfied customer!

Strengths: Picture brightness and rapid response time, 5 ms.
Weaknesses:Audio, but, see comment
Overall Evaluation: My wife and I are very happy with the TV. Great picture and we have not even hooked it up to the HD box yet! Tweaked the higher audio freqs and that improves the sound. Our plan is to use external speakers so on board sound is not as important to us. Relatively light weight and low power consumption blows our old (dead) Sony CRT out of the water. This TV is nicer than we even hoped it would be. The buy was no mistake.

Strengths: Nice TV with good features. To optical SPDIF audio output that outputs surround sound to home theater when receiving local digit broadcast.
Weaknesses:Extremely poor built-in speakers. Worse then my 13" $30 old tube TV. Can here conversation of the TV shows. Must use external stereo.
Overall Evaluation: If you plan to use a home theater with this TV at all time, this is a good one. If you plan to use only the built-in speakers to watch TV, don't buy this TV.

Strengths: Picture ****EXCELLENT******
Weaknesses:Sound, need better speaker
Overall Evaluation: Picture... picture... nothing else matter...picture.... Why do you need an LCD tv for? for good picture, then buy this TV. Do not go for 120Hz, not worth it. 60Hz is more than enough for anything......
Review:
Samsung LN46A550 LCD HDTV
This all-around excellent TV is easy to use and a delight to the eyes.
It's hard to find fault with Samsung's LN46A550. I found some of the images from our over-the-air tests lacking in detail, though my fellow judges felt otherwise. Also the user's manual leaves something to be desired...but that's about it.
