Comments about SAMSUNG LN46B550 46" Class 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV:

Great product for a great price. I've been tracking this model for over a year. It finally dropped to the point where I couldn't pass it up. I couldn't be any happier with the TV itself. The runaround I received from Abes is a different story. [...] Very happy with the TV, doubt I'll ever order from Abes again.

Awesome TV with great picture quality...

Only complaint is I upgraded to a 1 inch wall mount and most of the connections are in the back so the tv got pushed off the wall at the bottom a little so with the TV off it looks a little messed up.

Comments about SAMSUNG LN46B550 46" Class 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV:

I have this 46 inch LCD set up in a 12 X 12 room that exclusively for TV viewing and lounging. Don't put something like this in your bedroom or your sleep will suffer. The HD is phenomenal and a huge improvement over the 15 year old TV we had. Make sure you get high end cables so you can take advantage of the HDMI inputs — there is a big difference in quality between the HDMI feed and the regular cable input (round). We've only had it a few weeks, but we did a lot of research so we wouldn't buy features we didn't need -- and we searched for the best price [...]Recommend protecting your investment with a multi-year service package.

Comments about SAMSUNG LN46B550 46" Class 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV:

I received my TV and was overall satisfied with it. However, The only problem I really found was that I was disappointed in the touch of color. It looks black to me and was supposed to be a touch of red. and I wish the tv was 120hz instead of 60hz but the series 6 was too much more money. The TV like all others has poor sound but I didn't buy the TV for that reason, I bought it for the picture. If your gonna invest in a nice TV, spend the extra money for a surround sound as well. I did and Love it.

Beautiful picture and worth the money

Comments about SAMSUNG LN46B550 46" Class 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV:

This is a great TV for the price. Vibrant colors, beautiful design and easy to use. The sound is not good, but this is true for all LCDs. The only drawback is that this model is not 120Hz. As the B650 comes down in price it may be worth considering the upgrade.

Comments about SAMSUNG LN46B550 46" Class 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV:

Easy to setup, however when I was wall mounting the tv via the "free" wall mount (which was supposed to be a tilt version as I was told by the rep, but it wasn't), it was difficult to hang easily. This is because it is a "close" wall mount, and the cables connected to the rear inputs are being pressed against the wall. They just barely fit and I am concerned that they may eventually break because of the sharp angle they are bent at. Overall, the picture is very good, but the out of the box sound quality was poor until I tweaked the equalizer and surround settings. I also do not like that you cannot move the information box to another part of the screen, because it overlays my directv info panel.
