  Overall Rating: 5 Star Review

  Duration of ownership:2 Weeks

  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: Great Picture, versatile hookups ,easy to install

  Weaknesses: Speakers are terrible

  Overall Evaluation: The picture quality is terrific, but the speakers never sounded that good and are already raspy. In another words "shot". I doubt if I am the only one experiencing bad quality speakers on this unit and for a set that cost me 1800 bucks should have not only a great picture but an excellent sound quality too.

  Strengths: Still a great value for the price.

  Weaknesses: Samsung uses 3 different panels in their tv's. There is no way to tell which one you will get and if you'll actually get the quality you want.

  Overall Evaluation: Samsung uses 3 different panels when building this model TV. The only way to tell is by the serial number on the back of the tv."A" Panel - Off make panel - Sub-par picture quality"C" Panel - Sub-par quality - sub-par picture quality"S" Panel - Genuine Samsung panel - excellent picture quality. (hard to find)It's true! Check out: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/samsung-ln46a550/4864-6482_7-32815315-1.htmlI received a "C" panel and it's obvious that I didn't get the TV everyone has been raving about. I USED to be a committed Samsung fan. I have since changed my mind since I made this $1300 mistake. Please spread the word, they need to realize they can't put something like this past their consumers!

  Duration of ownership:1 Weeks

  Strengths: Amazing pictureDeep Black Levels and Vibrant Colors

  Weaknesses: Sound's not Theater quality, but it's not that bad.

  Overall Evaluation: I purchased this here for $1069, and I could not have found a better deal. After doing a lot of research (driving my wife crazy in the process), this tv at the thousand dollar mark can't be beat. It's not 120hz, but that is probably it's only fault. I wasn't willing to pay another 5 or 6 hundred dollars to upgrade. I still haven't noticed any picture quality issues though. Watching the Buffalo Sabres looks amazing. Standard definition isn't great on this set, but if your going to buy a tv like this, why wouldn't you want to upgrade :)

  Duration of ownership:30 Days

  Strengths: Picture quality on close up shots is amazing!

  Weaknesses: At only 60Hz is an obvious weekness when viewing sports and wide angle shots.

  Overall Evaluation: I received this TV about a month ago. Picture is amazing when viewing sitcoms and other shows with low movement or narrow camera shots. When I watch football the picture isn't as sharp as I would wish especially when they have a shot zoomed out over the field. I guess I'm being too critical for the price but overall the picture is awesome. I'm not too worried about the speakers quality becuase I have it hooked up to surround sound. All in all you can't find a better picture for the price. My next tv will be 120Hz though.

  Strengths: Clear pic - that's what I wanted from the TV

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall Evaluation: I've only had it for a couple of weeks but I can't take my eyes off of it. It took me a while to figure out that some channels are not HD but the ones that are are fantastic. I did call customer support and I spoke to someone (from the US and spoke English)immediately who helped me with a couple of questions.

  Weaknesses: Audio Sucks

  Overall Evaluation: I read the other reviews and they were spot on regarding strengths and weaknesses. I agree that sound is equal to other similar TV's but that does not make it enjoyable. Count on using an external aud

  Duration of ownership:2 Months

  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.

  Duration of ownership:3 Months

  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.

  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......
