Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great picture for an LCD TV Comment: Provides one of the best pictures for an LCD TV, however despite claims of a "178- degree viewing angle", the picture has the typical LCD fade when viewed at angles. Best suited for a room where the primary viewing is straight on. Customer Rating: Summary: Stinksap Samsung! Comment: Where to begin...Within two weeks this Samsung TV began turning itself off after 20 minutes. Soon afterwards the TV began sending out extremely loud crackling sounds which were impossible to turn off. Calling Samsung customer service was a nightmare and they botched the service contract with an area rep 3 times. The rep finally got out to fix the set and he had to order a whole new circuit board so that took another 2 weeks. The black colors on the picture are truly awful and blotchy. And forget the sound quality, terrible. There's not much to like about this TV and it's been a bad experience with Samsung. I was going to buy another major brand but made the mistake of shopping for price -- guess ya get what you pay for. Folks, do yourself a favor and go with the quality companies like S*NY; there's a reason these Samsung's are so much less money...they are far inferior. I'm stuck with this TV now and wished I'd never gotten a Samsung. Customer Rating: Summary: Samsung LN37A550 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Comment: The tv is awesome as a computer monitor. I'm using it with a DVI to HDMI cable and it seems to have no flaws in image quality or response time. As a tv it is impressive and I appreciate all of the features. Customer Rating: Summary: A great TV Comment: I purchased this Samsung after reading several reviews. Picked it up on special sale here on Amazon. I am very pleased with it, and give it a 5 star as far as I'm concerned. Some reviews are a little critical of the speaker sound, but it seems just fine to me. Of course you can add better speakers very easily if you wish. The Amazon White Glove delivery was prompt, with no setup problems encountered. While there are other HD set out there, you won't go wrong buying this model. The 37" screen is just right size for where I have the set located. Customer Rating: Summary: Samsung LN 37A550 hdtv Comment: I purchased Samsung LN37A550 from Amazon (shipped from 6th Ave Elec) in October, ordering on Tuesday and receiving the next Monday. I had looked at the Sony and LG 37" hdtv's also but settled on the Samsung because of the excellent customer reviews and I liked the small bezel and 37" width. The set arrived doubled boxed, uncrating and setup were extremely easy as the Samsung user manual is very user friendly. My one complaint is the "tinny sound", I adjusted the "equalizer" settings making the sound more acceptable. We are delighted with picture quality, especially football games in hd. The factory settings are OK but there is a review where a customer listed his settings that were very helpful. I wanted to buy a Samsung upconverting DVD player so we could use the same remote, but after reading customer reviews I got a Sony upscaling player instead, you should see "Planet Earth" spectacular, althought the little speakers vibrate. Love this set and the buying experience via Amazon was great. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: 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
