Samsung LN46A550
By David Katzmaier
We arranged our comparison of the Samsung LN46A550 against a few other 1080p LCDs we had on-hand, including the Sony KDL-46W4100 and KDL-46Z4100, Samsung's own LN52A650 and the Vizio SV470XVT, along with a pair of plasmas, the Panasonic...

Samsung LN46A550
By David Katzmaier
Accurate color ; reproduces relatively deep black levels ; extensive picture adjustments include fine color temperature controls ; solid connectivity with three HDMI inputs and one PC input ; simple, unassuming external appearance
Minor uniformity issues ; so-so standard-definition processing
The midlevel Samsung LN46A550 LCD HDTV strikes an excellent balance between price and performance.

Samsung LN32A550 review
By CNET staff
CNET did not review the Samsung LN32A550, but we did review a larger model in the series.
Although CNET did not review the 32-inch Samsung LN32A550 we did review the 46-inch Samsung LN46A550. Judging from their specification sheets the two Samsung flat-panel LCDs are basically identical but for screen size, so we expect the review of...

LN37A550
By Lincoln Spector
The $935 (as of April 22, 2009) Samsung LN37A550 is a good choice for someone seeking an adequate, not-too-expensive 37-inch HDTV that requires minimal setup. The input connections are easy to get to, the on-screen menus are well designed and helpful, ...
Well-designed remote control USB-based multimedia
Poor audio quality
Samsung added picture-in-picture to this television, but the feature is severely limited. The remote lacks a PiP button, so you have to go to the main menu for access. And PiP works only with an outside source (such as a DVD or Blu-ray player) in the ...
In our image-quality tests, judges tended to give the LN37A550 middle-of-the-pack scores. Most troubling, we saw vibration artifacts in our NASCAR and Mission: Impossible III (Chapter 7) test clips--a symptom that the LN37A550 was struggling to...

Samsung LN52A550
By Robert Heron
Samsung's 2008 HDTV lineup got off to a good start with the impressive picture quality and network media features offered by company's Series 7 LCD TVs. The LN52A750 won our Editors' Choice. But some shoppers might want to forgo the Series 7's glossy ...
Excellent contrast and HD video processing. Comprehensive picture controls. Backlit remote and swivel stand
Displays some smearing in fast-motion scenes. Some advanced picture settings lack fine control. Inconsistent color tracking ; Watch the Samsung LN52A550 Video Review
The Samsung LN52A550's matte-finished screen delivers a detailed HD picture, but stumbles in some fast-motion scenes. And color consistency within the darkest picture details is lacking when compared with that of the competition.
The 52-inch LN52A550 ($2,999.99 list) delivers an exceptionally well-contrasted 1080p picture, as well as effective HD video processing for superb picture detail with a minimum of distracting artifacts, all for $1,000 less than the cost of the......

Samsung LN46A550 46-Inch LCD HDTV
This all-around excellent TV is easy to use and a delight to the eyes.
Fantastic picture ; Menus and remote are easy to use
Badly designed documentation
The result is a well-rounded HDTV that does virtually everything you want it to. At its price, it stands out as a clear winner
