Picture is good
Bought this tv 1.5 years ago and the mother board is shot as are the capacitators. Capacitator seems to be a regular problem with Samsung according to the service tech. Their customer service is worthless. Value for product lacking

Once you experience the amazing picture quality that high definition offers, it'll be almost impossible for you to watch "normal" TV. The SAMSUNG LN37A550 is the perfect way to upgrade your home entertainment. With full 1080p resolution, images are sharper and more realistic. And a 15,000:1 contrast ratio delivers stunning contrast in dark or bright scenes. Full HD (1080p) contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. That means more pixels, more details and a better...

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...
But this model had wildly variable picture quality, ranging from fair to very good, plus a tendency to make some images too bright, and mediocre sound.

Editors' note: The rating on this review has been lowered because of changes in the competitive marketplace.
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'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.
Enter Samsung's Series 5. 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...

It's hard to find fault with Samsung's LN46A550 ($1700, as of November 4, 2008). This LCD model lacks some of the specs and design of its younger sibling, the Samsung LN46A650, but otherwise it holds its own next to that model.

Once you experience the amazing picture quality that high definition offers, it'll be almost impossible for you to watch "normal" TV. The SAMSUNG LN37A550 is the perfect way to upgrade your home entertainment. With full 1080p resolution, images are sharper and more realistic. And a 15,000:1 contrast ratio delivers stunning contrast in dark or bright scenes. Full HD (1080p) contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. That means more pixels, more details and a better picture. A resolution that is approximately twice as much as conventional HD TVs creates the most perfect picture imaginable. Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this LCD TV. Watch movies and shows come to life with enhanced details in very dark or bright scenes. Enjoy a more realistic, sharper picture quality that's sure to catch your eye with 15,000:1 contrast ratio. One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 5ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes. The newest feature is the Wiselink USB Connection that easily hooks up your MP3 player or digital camera to your TV with the USB 2.0 connection. A simple user interface lets you scroll through and view play lists and pictures. You can zoom, rotate or play photo slide shows and even add music. With the SAMSUNG LN37A550 HDTV you really get the total package. 15,000 - 1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio 5ms Response Time 16 - 9 Aspect Ratio SRS TruSurround XT 10 W + 10 W Audio System Input Ports - 3 x HDMI (1 side, 2 rear), 2 x Component, 2 x A/V (1 side, 1 rear), 1x 15-pin VGA PC, 1 x S-Video (side), Wiselink (USB 2.0), RF antenna inputs, Headphone jack (side) A
