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

Summary: What an outstanding purchase
Comment: We love this tv...its our second flat screen tv and the TV is everything that the ad and product reviews promised it would be. Some reviewers have said the that sound on this is somewhat tinny, but we didn't find that to be the case. We especially like the swivel stand and the extra HDMI hook ups. Overall, we've fund Samsung flat panels to be a very good buy with decent pricing.

Summary: Samsung sings my praises!
Comment: My first set did come damaged, but because i went with Amazon, it was no problem whatever and i still had my set way before Christmas. Amazon is great to deal with and i will continue to recommend them highly, Ceva who was the company contracted in my area to deliver the set was outstanding...giving me courtesy calls when the set arrived in order to arrange delivery and again when they were on their way to deliver -Outstanding in today's world of P-O-O-R customer service. Now, as for the set itself - Consumer Reports rates it tops and it IS 100% best TV for the price for Aesthetics, Picture is magnificant, you can play with peripherals if you're in to photos and things, and the sound that many people have complained about i can't understand what they were complaining about because you can go in the menu and set it however you'd like...now for the true audiophiles, you wouldn't buy a set of this magnitude for the superior sound anyway would you? Most of my audiophile friends run their sets through a receiver/mixer system for 5 or 7:1 surround. Anyway, i would buy this set again even over the LG.

Summary: Terrible product and terrible service.
Comment: Bought this back in September. After one month, TV started to fail: after an hour the image on the screen would go to black (only sound would be available), and I would have to turn off / on the TV to get the image back. So, I went to the store and they exchanged it for a new one.
Unfortunately, the problem appeared again on the new set, just after two months after the exchange. Now, I'm dealing with samsung and the local service providers and they both are just terrible.
You can find there are some more cases like this if you search the internet (I'm not the only one). It seems the problem is created by . connecting 2 / 3 HDMI devices at the same time (I have three: Direct TV, PS3 & Apple TV). So far, local service provider told me to "disconnect everything and just plug an air antenna". Of course, the problem appeared again. But what's the purpose of not connecting HDMI devices when that's the whole purpose of buying an HD TV set in the first place?
Terrible product. And terrible service. Don't buy Samsung at all.

Summary: Excellent TV
Comment: Bought this in November and it is well worth the money. We don't have cable, but get excellent over the air HD reception with this tv. It is amazing that the non-cable quality of this TV is this good. Plus, shipping was easy and this TV was a great deal.
Well worth it if you are in the market for a digital TV.
