Date: 2009-11-07 Power supply failure + terrible Customer Support I have purchased this 46" Samsung LCD TV set (LN46A550) in August 2008 and its power supply failed last month exactly 3 months after the warranty had expired. My problem is described on Samsung website as "My TV Is Turning Off And On By Itself (Power Cycling)", in the "LN46A550P3F Troubleshooting Guide". The issue is clearly well known by Samsung but they would not pay for the repair anyway, not to mention that they are not recalling this product in the first place. It costed me 300 USD to fix the power supply (including labor) for a 1000 USD (current value) LCD TV. So, this product is poorly constructed and on top of that, Samsung has definitely the worst customer support service ever. I would strongly discourage anyone to purchase a Samsung TV. Good luck if you already purchased one... Date: 2009-10-01 The best quality picture I have ever seen!!! We have owned this TV for over a year now and we are amazed at the quality of picture EVERY time we turn it on....(couple times a day!) Have not seen a better picture yet! Great for Sports, cartoons, and everything inbetween. I highly suggest this TV. We are 100% satisfide with the picture. The only complaint I have is the sound quality. But it is an easy fix with a additional speaker system (most people have with a tv of this quality) We have a very in expensive speaker system that does the trick when we need it. For most of the time we use the tv sound. Its not super bad but it is annoying when there is other things making noise (ac dishwasher ect...) If you are looking for a flat screen LCD. Dont look any further... I did all my research and any other bells and whistles are unnessesary Date: 2009-07-15 Samsung 550 We've had this about a year now and have never had a single problem with it. Good picture, but I miss the analog channels - we are in the country and digital is NOT a good thing here as we are always losing the signal (not the TV's fault). Date: 2009-07-06 Great picture, terrible sound I really like the picture and numerous options built into this system. However, there are two major problems. 1) SOUND: TERRIBLE! The built-in speakers are terrible. No matter how you adjust the built-in equalizer, everything sounds like it is in a coffee-can, very "tinty". I did also buy a home theater to go with it so I've been using that exclusively. 2) SIGNAL INPUT: Only ONE! I have a couple of other smaller HDTVs by Sanyo & LG, and both of them allow more than one signal source (Cable & standard antennae). This model only allows for one signal source. It appears that the sound issue is related to this model. I have a friend that bought a 40" Samsung and the sound in that unit is great. Apparently, Samsung figures if you have money to buy a unit this big, then you can afford a home theater... I have since placed a service call with Samsung... Date: 2009-06-29 Great Picture Pros: Crisp Picture, Fast Response Time, Very stylish, Lots of Menu Options, Non-HD Channels somewhat clearer than other TVs I have seen. Cons: Nothing with the TV itself. After the first week I had the tv, the picture began blurring with red hues all over. The customer service for Samsung was absolutley horrific. After a month of calls and repairs I finally got the tv back. Since I live in a smaller town they had to use a third party repair party which is the worst experience I have ever had with electronic repair. Once I got the tv back however I am very very pleased! * Price is subject to change. |
