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.

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.

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 ...

The TV may be fine but.... the advertisement says "you order a Samsung LCD TV....and you get for fREE a blue ray player and cables. I got the TV, the cables and no blue ray player.
Seems....I'm not entitled to it because ONLY items shipped by Amazon warrants receiving these. The funny thing is....you do NOT know that Amazon is NOT the shipper of the TVs until after you order it.
So...you are stuck!
I'm out $[...] more because of this fraudulent and misleading information.
SHAME ON YOU AMAZON. TRUST ME I (AND ALL MY CLIENTS WILL KNOW) WILL NOT BUY EVER AGAIN FROM AMAZON.

Having finally decided to buy a new HDTV a friend suggested this one based on reviews from the internet. I shopped around and checked it out at my local "box store". Amazon had the lowest price and although reluctant to buy a TV on-line I did it anyway. I couldn't be happier. First a little about AMAZON's service: I ordered on a Sunday night and my order was confirmed the next day. Two days later I received a call informing me that the shipper would be contacting me when ready for delivery. That happened the next day. So, I ordered on Sunday and had the TV in my home on Friday! And, shipping was FREE. The delivery service brought it to the door, unpacked it, set it on my stand and ran it through it's test set-up.
Now for the TV. For the price this set rocks. Color and clarity are great. Menus for setting different color, contrast, brightness features are very easy. The remote does have backlighting which I appreciate. Wish the cable companies HD receiver had backlighting! The sound quality is about what I expect from TV speakers. I'll add a home theater system sometime, but for now I find the sound quite acceptable. I am not even close to be a techno fanatic so this TV fit the bill for me - easy set up and a great pic without any fussing.
I don't quite get the "red touch of color" thing. Yes, there is a bezel around the bottom of the TV that is slightly red in certain lighting situations. But, it is hardly noticed and I'm not sure why Samsung has even produced them this way. It is hardly a driving feature of this TV.
Again, this is a great set for the price. And, AMAZON delivers again - for FREE!!
