1 Star disappointed with dead picture
bought this tv august 1,2009 knowing its a samsung and i like them cause i previously owned several units 1 52 ” dlp ,and 37” tube tv back in 1997and a 42 ” lcd all of them still working good but this one is a disappointing buy, the screen started flickering while using my ps3 then on for few mins then off few seconds thought it was the ps3 so i tried the denon dvd player black screen getting longer same thing with my oppo dvd player and then tried troubleshooting problem unresolved u can hear the sound when u power on but NO PICTURE at all so i will be returning this model and purchasing a different one …

4 Stars A lot of bang for your buck!
For the $800 and under price range, this is probably one of the best options right now. I’ve had it for about 5 weeks now and I’m happy with it. The touch of red color looks real nice and the swivel stand it comes with is excellent – it’s a much better option than mounting it on the wall. Has a lot of cool features that I haven’t even fully explored yet. Picture quality is about an 8 out of 10.

4 Stars Samsung TV
Samsung LN40B550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color We received the TV very promptly after being ordered. It was delivered ,uncrated,assembled and positioned very professionally. The TV operated very well with no problems. However, The Amamzon promotion from which we ordered the TV indicated that a “Blu-Ray Player” would be included with no additional charge. We did not receive the Blu-Ray Player with the shipment. We assumed the player would be received by separate shipment. It has now been over 6 weeks and the Blu-Ray Player has not been received. We sent a letter to Amazon.com LLC, 2700 Regent Blvd,Irving, Texas 75063-3135 on August 25th. No reply has been received.

5 Stars I love my new Samsung LN40B550 HDTV
My new 40 inch Samsung HDTV is great! It was easy to set up and for a person who doesn’t like to read manuals, that is perfect.

The picture is crisp and clear and since I only get my television off the airwaves, that is a big plus for me. So many connections are available. I have my Blue-ray, Roku, VCR connected right now and there are still many more connectors available.

So far I am a happy camper with this buy. Amazon had the best price and with free delivery and no sales tax, you can’t go wrong on this deal.

5 Stars My dream come true
I read a lot of reviews and visited this model in the store before purchasing. I use it to display cable, movies, video games, and even my laptop.

I chose a Samsung because I’ve had a number of products from them that were of great quality, including my old cell phone and one of my computer monitors.

The LN40B550 is sleek and attractive. The thin clear outline around the boundary picks up the color from the wall behind it and looks great.

Use – Quality

_____________

Computer display – Amazing (pixel-perfect)

Video Games – Awesome

Movies – Great

Cable – Very Good

Recommendations:

- Turn down the backlight a little to preserve the bulb. It’s better than turning down the brightness.

- Don’t use the Game Mode. It makes the image look “muddy”. I play fast-action games, and they look great without using Game Mode.
