Seriously Consider This Samsung 52" TV
I have had my TV for nearly a month now and I love it. I am coming from a 27" CRT TV, so of course, I'm going to be impressed. However, here are a few things I would like to pass along to those of you in the market for a new flat panel TV:
* LCD versus Plasma:
If you are having a hard time deciding between LCD and plasma, LCD has nearly caught up with plasma in terms of being the better flat panel TV. You still pay a bit more for a comprable LCD though. If you are hooking up a PC...

Great Value
A while ago I got a Philips 52PFL7422 LCD from Costco. I couldn't get the Philips to look right, even after adjustments using DVE, so decided to return it and get a different brand / model.
After some research and in-store comparisons, I decided to get the Samsung LN 52A550. I checked Amazon and the price was less than I paid for the Philips, and I trusted Amazon, being a satisfied customer of theirs for years.
From the start the Samsung was MUCH better than my prev...

Great HDTV, great price, great buying experience
I researched the daylights out of HDTVs every day for a month before finally buying the LN52A550. Among other TVs, I had previously eyed the Samsung LNT5265F (last year's model), but was turned off by the glare of the shiny screen on that and other Samsung LCDs (looked at them at Best Buy and they WERE excessively shiny). Also, the 8ms pixel response time of those models was a bit slow for sports, with noticeable motion blur. But then the LN52A550 was put out, which has a matte screen and 5ms re...

Outstanding Television Doesn't Disappoint
This television is truly one of the best purchases I have ever made. The picture is simply flawless with no dead pixels, high contrast, and absolutely even color over the entire picture. I can't find anything bad to say about the picture at all.
The menu system is easy to understand but a few functions take more button presses than they perhaps should. The feature to display pictures from a USB flash drive is simple to use and your pictures will look incredible when blown up on the...

Making the right choice
I had narrowed my choice for a new tv to either the Panasonic 50" plasma or the Samsung 52" LCD. My daughter has the Panasonic which is a very nice set. But due to the brightness of the room, I decided on the Samsung. I've had it set up for the past week and all I can say is this is an amazing tv. Regarding the price, local big box stores are selling this for $2799. I paid $2338 at Amazon on April 2 and due to the 30 day best price policy, to date I have received $120 in credits to my card....

LOVE the Samsung LN52A550
We just LOVE our new TV. We originally purchased the 46 version of the 550 series and decided it was much smaller than our previous Toshiba 51 projection TV. After checking prices the 52 Samsung 550 was on sale for $1949. We could not pass up thechance to upgrade the 46 version as we were still within our 30 days of purchase.brbrWe are very pleased with the picture quality the size features and most of all the pricing. You cant ask for a better deal. Since we are running a Sony 7.1 surroun...

Simply Amazing
It took me a long time to decide between this one, the 6 series and the 7 series. What really did it for me was the matte screen. They say the super-glossy screen of the 6 and 7 series helps the contrast, but I stared at both TV's in a Circuit City for a long, long time (a total of about 4 hours of time between about 6 visits at different times of the day/night) and I simply could not see the difference in that respect. What I could see, clearly, was my reflection in the 6 and 7 series TV's, ...
